Abstract

Abstract A convenient and easy procedure to synthesize esters and thioesters from the corresponding carboxylic acid using TFFH as the coupling reagent is described. The preparation of N-acyl-dithiocarbamates from carboxylic acids and 1, 3-thiazolidine-2-thione with TFFH as the coupling reagent is also described.
