Abstract
Rapid and efficient synthesis of benzyl thiocyanates via microwave assisted heating
Author(s): Yu-Qing Cao, Yi-Chao Ma, Kuo Yan, Xiang-Tao Xu, Ding-Xiang Du, Xiao-Jun YangA rapid and efficient synthesis of series benzyl thiocyanates via microwave assisted heating is described. The reaction is solvent free and environmental friendly, using Polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG400) as catalyst, and yield can reach up to 90% in several minutes.
