Abstract
Arynes, generated from trimethylsilyl phenyltriflate precursors, have been found to react with thioureas via a formal π-insertion into the C=S bond. The reaction contrasts with that of ureas, which proceeds via benzyne σ-insertion into the C-N bond, and represents a new, operationally simple route to functionalized amidines. © 2011 American Chemical Society.
