THE CHEMISTRY OF 3-AMINOTHIOACRYLAMIDES; PART II: 3-AMINOTHIOACRYLAMIDES AS USEFUL SYNTHONS IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS

Abstract

3-Aminothioacrylamides are a class of organic sulfur containing compounds that are easily available and exhibit polyfunctional reaction behaviour. They can be used widely in the synthesis of a variety of heterocyclic and open chain compounds. The synthetic utility of 3-aminothioacrylamides can be further extended if additional functionalities are incorporated.

Key Words:

• 3-aminothioacrylamides
• heterocyclic synthesis
• cyclisation
• sulfur compounds.
