Abstract

Abstract Thiocarbonyl compounds such as substituted-thioureas,-thioamides and- thiocarbamates were found to react with a peroxysulfur intermediate (3) which is generated by the treatment of 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride with potassium superoxide to convert into the corresponding carbonyl compounds in quantitative yield at− 30 C in acetonitrile.
