Abstract
An efficient oxidative desulfurisation of thioamides by CuBr/TBHP is reported. Thioamides containing alkyl or aryl on the nitrogen undergo desulfurisation and give amides with good yields. Thioamides not containing substituent on the nitrogen undergo desulfurisation and give 1,2,4-thiadiazoles in moderate to good yields.
