<p>THIATION PROCESS The carbonyl group of an amide is thiated to the corresponding thiono group by reacting the amide with phosphorus pentasulfide in the presence of an alkali metal bicarbonate and a hydrocarbon diluent. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the amide is an aromatic amide, and the diluent is an inert hydrocarbon having a boiling point in the range of 50-150.degree.C.</p> |
