Abstract
A photocatalyzed, efficient, and mild approach for the synthesis of various substituted isothiocyanates from amine and carbon disulfide was reported in this work. This approach expands the scope of photocatalytic applications and provides a new method for the preparation of aliphatic and aromatic isothiocyanates, which are significant organic building blocks and biological diagnostic markers.
