Process for the synthesis of an isothiocyanate of general formula (I) SCN‑R 1 -R 4 -R 2 in which R 1 and R 2 represent, independently of one another, an alkyl, aryl or alkylaryl group, R 4 represents a carbonyl, sulphinyl or sulphonyl group or a sulphide and derivatives thereof comprising a step of reacting an alkylalkylamine having the general formula (II) NH 2 n _ R 1 n _ R 4 n _ R 2 in which R 1 and R 2 represent, independently of one another, an alkyl, aryl or alkylaryl group, R 4 represents a carbonyl, sulphinyl, sulphonyl or sulphide group, in the presence of carbon sulphide and of di- tert -butyl dicarbonate with formation of the aforesaid corresponding isothiocyanate, compounds obtained by this process and also uses thereof. |
