Abstract

Direct reaction of isocyanides with sulfoxides affords thiocarbamic acid S-esters in very good yields. In addition, multicomponent reactions involving isocyanide, sulfoxide, and a suitable nucleophile provide a diverse range of sulfur-containing compounds, including isothioureas, carbonimidothioic acid esters, and carboximidothioic acid esters.
