Abstract
β-Naphthyl chlorothionoformate is introduced as a powerful dealkylating agent. This reagent reacts rapidly with tertiary amines at room temperature and produces their thiocarbamate derivatives, whose yields were from good to excellent. Rates of reactions and selectivity for alkyl group cleavage in amines were found to be superior or comparable to those previously reported with chloroformates.
