摘要

A series of isothiocyanates were prepared in good yields by the decomposition of dithiocarbamates using chlorosilanes such as Me3SiCl, Me2SiCl2, MeSiCl3, and SiCl4 as decomposition reagents. Alkyl isothiocyanates were obtained by a facile one-pot method in high yield from alkyl amines using these inexpensive decomposition reagents in the presence of a base.
