The preparation of ortho-substituted O-aryl and O-pyrid-3-yl thiocarbamates 7a-h and 11a-d and anionic ortho-Fries rearrangements of selected cases, [O-phenyl N,N-diethylthiocarbamate (6a)N,N-diethyl-2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzenecarbothioamide (9), O-[4-(trimethylsilyl)pyridyl-3-yl] N,N-diethylthiocarbamate (11a)N,N-diethyl-3-hydroxy-4-(trimethylsilyl)pyridine-3-carbothioamide (13)], via the directed ortho metalation protocol are described; coupled with their further thermal conversion (Kwart-Newman rearrangement) into S-thiocarbamate 8a-f and 12a-b and simple hydrolysis, this constitutes a new methodology for phenol to ortho-substituted thiophenol conversion (45).
