Riemschneider thiocarbamate synthesis
Encyclopedia
The Riemschneider thiocarbamate synthesis produces aromatic thiocarbamates starting with the corresponding aromatic thiocyanate
.
The thiocyanate is treated with sulfuric acid
and then hydrolyzed with ice water.
The reaction was discovered by the German chemist Randolph Riemschneider.
Thiocyanate
Thiocyanate is the anion [SCN]−. It is the conjugate base of thiocyanic acid. Common derivatives include the colourless salts potassium thiocyanate and sodium thiocyanate. Organic compounds containing the functional group SCN are also called thiocyanates...
