Abstract

Highly efficient thiocyanation of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds has been accomplished by using cyanuric chloride (NCCl)3/NH4SCN in dichloromethane under conventional and ultrasonic-assisted conditions. Sonicated reactions reached completion with reduced reaction times. The protocol involves a simple workup.
