Reaction of Nitroxides with Sulfur Containing Compounds II [1]. Preparation of Nitroxides Bearing an Isothiocyanate Substituent in View of the Nitroxyl Group Reduction with Thiophosgene

Summary.

 The reaction of thiophosgene with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (used as a model nitroxyl radical) was examined. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-hydroxypiperidine were identified as products. The reaction is not competitive with the reaction of thiophosgene with an amino group. Thus, three nitroxides with an isothiocyanate group were synthesized from thiophosgene and the nitroxides containing the amino substituent.
