Zusammenfassung:A simple and efficient protocol for the electrophilic thiocyanation of indoles and aromatic amines with thiourea/NCS/NH4SCN system has been developed. The major features of the present procedure are the mild conditions, good yields, short reaction times, and the use of inexpensive and readily available organocatalyst. Moreover, N-chlorosueeinimide (NCS) was found to be indispensable, and thiourea could greatly promote the reaction.
