Abstract

A metal-free and one-pot procedure for thioarylation of uracils and in situ generated enaminones with thiols in the presence of C2Cl6 is introduced. This protocol is a less toxic alternative to other conventional thioarylation techniques because it uses hexachloroethane as a solid oxidant, which is stable, inexpensive, readily available and easier to work with.
