Europhtal: An industrial cobalt phthalocyanine complex as the efficient catalyst for synthesis of thioamides by one‐pot reaction of mercaptans and amines
The potential of industrial cobaltphthalocyanines in the synthesis of thioamides is reported. A mixture of an industrial sulfonated cobaltphthalocyanines known as Co[(SO3Na)2,3Pc] (Europhtal catalyst additive 8020) is introduced as an efficient catalyst capable of converting benzyl thiols to synthetically valuable thioamides by reaction with amines and DMSO. In this procedure, different primary and
