Abstract
The reaction of isocyanides with aliphatic amines in the presence of elemental sulfur was found to proceed efficiently at, or near, room temperature to produce thioureas in excellent yields and with complete atom economy.
Key words
multicomponent reactions - elemental sulfur - isocyanides - thioureas - atom economy - sulfur–amine interactionSupporting Information
