Sulfuryl Fluoride Promoted Thiocyanation of Alcohols: A Practical Method for Preparing Thiocyanates

A novel SO 2F 2-promoted thiocyanation method for the one-step synthesis of thiocyanates through C-O bond cleavage of readily available alcohols with ammonium thiocyanate as the thiocyanating agent was developed. The method avoids the use of additional catalyst, and a variety of (hetero)arene, alkene and aliphatic alcohols reacted with high efficiency in ethyl acetate under mild conditions to afford the corresponding thiocyanates in excellent to quantitative yields with broad functional-group compatibility.
