Abstract

Isothiocyanates have been widely used in organic synthesis, especially in the synthesis of heterocycles, 1, 2 and they have also been isolated from natural products, including marine sesquiterpenes. 3, 4 Additionally, synthetic isothiocyanates have been reported to exhibit interesting biological effects, among which are antitumor and antiparasitic activities5, 6 and the preparation of irreversible inhibitors. 7 There are currently several methods of ...
