Abstract

In this paper, the results obtained in the synthesis of thioamides and α-ketothioamides by a modification of the Willgerodt–Kindler reaction, under solvent-free and noncatalyst conditions using IR energy as a source of activation, are presented. The use of IR energy in these reactions has been shown to lead to a mixture of thioamide and α-ketothioamide as the main products in most cases, with the latter predominating. The yields of α- ...
