N‐Thiocyanato‐2,10‐camphorsultam Derivatives: Design and Applications of Original Electrophilic Thiocyanating Reagents

Abstract The synthesis of bench‐stable electrophilic thiocyanating reagents was depicted in two steps from readily available starting materials in good yields. These newly designed electrophilic reagents were successfully applied for the thiocyanation of different nucleophiles under mild and transition metal‐free conditions. Preliminary experiments for the asymmetric C3‐thiocyanation of an oxindole derivative were also conducted leading to the expected product with no induction of chirality, although opening possibilities for accessing chiral compounds.
