One pot synthesis of amino-ethanethiol derivatives of aromatic aldehydes by the catalytic action of DBU

Abstract

Abstract A facile and effective one pot organic synthesis of benzylidene amino-ethanethiols from the condensation reaction between 2-aminoethanethiol and aromatic aldehydes by the catalytic action of 1, 8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) at mild reaction conditions. For the best our knowledge there is no report on the organic synthesis of benzylidineamino-ethanethiols
