A procedure has been developed for the synthesis of substituted 2-methyiquinolin-4-yithiuronium salts by reaction of 2-methyl-4-chloroquinoline with N-substituted thioureas. Alkaline hydrolysis of these salts yields 2-methyl-4-quinolyl isothiocyanate instead of the expected 2-methylquinoline-4-thiol.

4-Quinolyl isothiocyanates were synthesized in a regiospecific fashion from the corresponding 4-chloroquinolines and silver thiocyanate in refluxing toluene. The products were isolated in quantitative yield and high purity (>95%) by simple filtration and concentration. Reactivity and mechanism of the reaction are discussed. The new approach would provide a new mean which had been lacking for the synthesis
