Synthesis of Substituted 2-Methyl-4-quinolyl Isothiocyanates and 4-Mercaptoquinolines

Synthesis was performed of substituted 2-methyl-4-quinoline thiouronium salts by reaction of 2-methyl-4-chloroquinolines with thiourea. The alkaline hydrolysis of these salts afforded the corresponding 2-methyl-4-quinolyl- isothiocyanates and 2-methyl-4-mercaptoquinolines.__________Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 41, No. 5, 2005, pp. 783–785.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Avetisyan, Aleksanyan, Ambartsumyan.
