Visible light photocatalytic reactions of NH2-enaminones
and ammonium thiocyanate for chemoselective α-C–H thiocyanation
have been realized for the first time, providing a sustainable route
for the synthesis of thiocyanated NH2-enaminones. In addition,
the thiocyanated enaminone products can be flexibly transformed into
2-aminothiazoles and 2-thiazolinones via a simple operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
