One‐Pot Direct Synthesis of Thiocarbamates from Aniline, Carbon Monoxide, and Thiols Catalyzed by Selenium

Abstract

Catalyzed by selenium, oxidative carbonylation of aniline and thiols with carbon monoxide and oxygen affords the corresponding thiocarbamates mostly in moderate to good yields under solvent‐free conditions at ambient temperature.

Keywords:

• carbon monoxide
• oxidative carbonylation
• selenium
