Thioamides
Thioamides (also thioamides or thionamides) are derived from amides (more precisely: carboxamides ) whose carbonyl oxygen atom has been replaced by a sulfur atom. The thioamides are mesomeric stabilized .
synthesis
The most common method for the synthesis of thioamides is based on the addition of hydrogen sulfide to nitriles :
The synthesis also succeeds in the low pressure process in the presence of triethylamine . According to this method, however, only thioamides that have two hydrogen atoms on the nitrogen atom are available. The synthesis of more highly substituted thioamides starts with amides and reacts them with Lawesson's reagent or phosphorus pentasulfide in an inert solvent:
Reactivity
The most important preparative reaction of the thioamides consists in the synthesis of numerous heterocycles , e.g. B. of thiazoles .
