• ]. Through tailored molecular design, it is possible to enhance the oxidation capability of these catalysts, enabling the utilization of less reactive alkenes and even aromatic molecules such as toluene [32]. Until now, heterocyclic amides such as β-lactam compounds have not been employed in alkene

The reaction can tolerate a broad range of arenes and isocyanates, providing amide products 65 with notable

• , Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic 10.3762/bjoc.13.20 Abstract In this paper, we introduce a novel and convenient method for the transformation of heterocyclic amides into heteocyclic thioamides. A two-step approach was applied for this transformation: Firstly, we applied a

• chlorination of the heterocyclic amides to afford the corresponding chloroheterocycles. Secondly, the chloroherocycles and N-cyclohexyl dithiocarbamate cyclohexylammonium salt were heated in chloroform for 12 h at 61 °C to afford heteocyclic thioamides in excellent yields. Keywords: heterocyclic amides
