Convenient synthesis of (thiocyanomethyl)-thio heteroaromatics as antifungal agents

Synthesis of some (thiocyanomethyl)-thio heteroaromatic derivatives by reacting metal salts of (mercapto) heteraromatics with chloromethylthiocyanate using methanol or acetone as cosolvent, reported. All the synthesized derivatives were identified by conventional methods, IR-, ¹H NMR and mass spectral data. All the prepared compounds were tested for their antifungal activity. © 1998 SCI
