Abstract
Abstract Alkyl and aryl amines are converted smoothly to the corresponding isothiocyanates via the dithiocarbamates in good to excellent yields using di- tert -butyl dicarbonate (Boc 2 O) and 1–3 mol % of DMAP or DABCO as catalyst. As most of the byproducts are volatile, the work-up involves simple evaporation of the reaction mixture.
