Abstract

Abstract A new method for synthesizing aromatic primary thioamides is described. Simple treatment of aromatic nitriles with sodium hydrogen sulfide and magnesium chloride in dimethylformamide (DMF) gave aromatic primary thioamides in yields of 80–99% without handling of hazardous hydrogen sulfide.
