Abstract
S-Benzylisothiouronium halides are used as shelf-stable, odorless thiol equivalents. The method developed is used to access 2-(benzylthio)-4-(trifluoromethyl)thiazole carboxyl building blocks. Using the latent trifluoromethyl substituent the reactions could be monitored using 19F NMR spectroscopy.
