Abstract

Thioamides react with a wide range of electrophiles, nucleophiles, radical species, and so on. Reactive sites in thioamides are also broad. The sulfur atom in the C=S group accepts electrophiles and nucleophiles, which is in a marked contrast to the reaction patterns of amides. Not only one molecule but also two molecules of organometallic reagents are introduced to the carbon atom of the C=S group. The reduction of the C=S group to methylene groups and oxidation of the C=S group to the C=O group are also important fundamental processes. The α-protons to the C=S group are more acidic than those in amides, and the generated enols and enolates react at the α-carbon atoms or sulfur atoms depending on the electrophiles used. The nitrogen atom in primary and secondary thioamides also works as nucleophiles. The C=S group is used as directing groups for transition metal-catalyzed functionalizations.
