Summary

  1. 1.

    A method was developed for the preparation of the previously unknown thiolformic esters.

  2. 2.

    Benzyl, ethyl, and butyl thiolformates are described.

  3. 3.

    By reaction of benzyl thiolformate with α-toluenethiol in presence of hydrogen chloride, a quantitative yield of tribenzyl trithiolorthoformate was obtained.

  4. 4.

    Thiolformic esters can act as N-formylating agents: by the action of benzyl thiolformate on 2-aminopyridine, N-2-pyridylformamide was obtained, and in the reactions of all the thiolformic esters that we have described with phenylhydrazine, formic 2-phenylhydrazide was obtained.
