Thiocyanic acid HSCN is added to some acetylenic compounds R1-CC-R2 through a two step one-pot procedure which involves, first, the generation in CH2Cl2 of β-thiocyanato and/or β-isothiocyanato alkenyl mercuric compounds R1-C(SCN)=CR2-Hg- by addition of mercury(II)thiocyanate Hg(SCN)2 to R1-CC-R2, then the substitution of mercury by hydrogen through acidic treatment.In proper conditions of stoechiometry and reaction time the process is thermodynamically controlled and thus allows to obtain vinyl isothiocyanates R1-C(-NCS)=CHR2 even when the isomeric vinyl thiocyanates are kinetically favoured.Preparation of 3,3-dimethyl 2-isothiocyanato 1-thiocyanato 1-butene is also reported.
