摘要

A novel, simple protocol is disclosed for the synthesis of 1,2,4-thiadiazoles starting from thioamides with Na-2-eosin Y-sensitized titanium dioxide as catalyst through visible light irradiation (7 W blue LED light) and only 0.3 mol% catalysts were used. The raw material thioamides is prepared by aryl nitriles and sodium sulfide (Na2S center dot 9H(2)O) in DMF and in this reaction, readily available, inexpensive inorganic salt (Na2S center dot 9H(2)O) serves as the sulfur source and various functional groups of aryl nitriles were well and thioamides were synthesized successfully in gram-scale.
