J Org Chem. 2024 Oct 18;89(20):15248-15263. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.4c02063. Epub 2024 Oct 3.

Abstract

A convenient and practical method for the synthesis of various S-alkyl dithiocarbamates through three-component reaction of sulfonium salts, CS2 and amines has been developed. The reaction proceeds efficiently without any catalyst and additive under mild and open-air conditions, making it potential applications in pharmaceutical chemistry and sulfur chemistry.
