| Abstract: | A convenient procedure for the synthesis of 2,N,N‐trisubstituted 1H‐indole‐1‐carbothioamides from 2‐(acylmethyl)phenyl isocyanides has been developed. Thus, these isocyanides are converted into (Z)‐ 1‐alkyl (or phenyl)‐2‐(2‐isothiocyanatophenyl)ethenyl] 1,1‐dimethylethyl carbonates via an easy two‐step sequence. Treatment with secondary amines gave thiourea intermediates which afforded with CF3COOH (TFA) the desired products in fair‐to‐good yields. |
