Abstract

A novel method has been developed for the synthesis of S-alkyl (aryl) thiocarbamates. The route involves, first, the formation of zinc thiolates by reductive cleavage of disulfides in the presence of Zn/AlCl 3 system; then subsequent reaction of the thiolate anions with isocyanates gives the desired thiocarbamates in high to excellent yields.
