Abstract

Aqueous ammonium sulfide was found to be an ideal substitute for hydrogen sulfide for the thiolysis of activated amides. High yields of the corresponding thioamides were obtained for a broad range of substrates, using two different procedures that are both operationally simple and inexpensive, as well as amenable to large-scale preparation. Preliminary results indicate that aqueous ammonium sulfide may also replace hydrogen sulfide in the ...
