Abstract
Ketones possessing α-hydrogens undergo smooth thiocyanation with ammonium thiocyanate in the presence of molecular iodine in refluxing methanol to produce the corresponding α-ketothiocyanates in excellent yields with high selectivity. The use of iodine makes this procedure simple, convenient and cost effective.
