Water has been found for the first time as a useful solvent in the Willgerodt-Kindler (WK) reaction for the synthesis of benzothiomorpholides in high yield at 80°C for 3 h. This novel approach confronts the WK protocol with a new situation in which water

Aldehydes and aryl alkyl ketones were efficiently transformed to thioamides with the same number of carbon atoms via Willgerodt-Kindler reaction under microwave irradiation in solvent-free conditions. The thioamides obtained were hydrolyzed to corresponding carboxylic acids with microwave dielectric heating in one minute. Both reactions are very fast and the yields are excellent.
