The thiocyanato (-SCN) group was directly and regioselectively introduced into the α-position of ketones, aldehydes, and aldols in an electrophilic manner by the combined use of thiocyanatotrimethylsilane and sulfuryl chloride with or without cyclic sec-amine catalysts under mild reaction conditions.
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.
