An efficient decarboxylative thioamidation of arylacetic and cinnamic acids has been developed employing formamides as amine surrogate and sulfur as promoter. Thioamides with variant structural features are obtained under mild reaction conditions without the use of transition metal catalysts and oxidants.

The reaction of organolithium derivatives with thiuram monosulfides gives a convenient method for the synthesis of both aromatic and aliphatic thioamides in good yields. In our hands, the reaction of organolithium derivatives with tetramethylthiuram disulfide gave only dithiocarbamates and not a mixture of these and thioamides.
A general method for one-potsynthesis of thioamides without transition metals or external oxidants is developed through a three-component reaction involving chlorohydrocarbon, amide and elementalsulfur. Both alkyl and aryl thioamides could be obtained in moderate to excellent yields through this protocol. A high tolerance regarding various substituents on chlorohydrocarbon or amide was justified
A new decarboxylative strategy has been developed for the synthesis of thioamides via a three-component reaction involving arylacetic or cinnamic acids, amines and elemental sulfur powder, without the need of a transition metal and an external oxidant.
