TLDR
In this article, an improved synthesis of the title compounds was reported, and the N,N'-dialkylthioureas 1 with 3-hydroxy-2-butanone gave the imidazole-2(3H)-thiones 2 which on treatment with potassium in boiling tetrahydrofuran give the IMidazol-2ylidenes 3 in excellent yields
Abstract
An improved synthesis of the title compounds is reported. Reaction of the N,N'-dialkylthioureas 1 with 3-hydroxy-2-butanone gives the imidazole-2(3H)-thiones 2 which on treatment with potassium in boiling tetrahydrofuran give the imidazol-2-ylidenes 3 in excellent yields

C−H Activation with Elemental Sulfur: Synthesis of Cyclic Thioureas from Formaldehyde Aminals and S8

TL;DR: The C-H activation of cyclic formaldehyde aminals LCH2 with S8 proceeds at unusually low temperatures and results in the formation of the respective thioureas LC=S and H2S, which constitutes a new, solvent-free method for the synthesis of thiOUreas that eliminates the toxic and highly flammable CS2.

TADDOL-Derived Cationic Phosphonites: Toward an Effective Enantioselective Synthesis of [6]Helicenes via Au-Catalyzed Alkyne Hydroarylation

TL;DR: In this article, a series of cationic phosphonites, all sharing a TADDOL skeleton but decorated with different positively charged substituents at phosphorus, were synthesized and tested as chiral ancillary ligands on the Au-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of appropriate diynes toward carbo[6]helicenes with different substitution patterns.
