ABSTRACT
A highly efficient and simple protocol for the construction of aromatic and aliphatic isothiocyanates from their respective amines in the presence of cheap, readily available, and air-stable cobalt catalyst is described. All reactions were carried out under optimized reaction conditions and gave target products in good to excellent yields within shorter reaction time.
