1,1’-Thiocarbonyldiimidazole (Cat No.: R055660) is an organosulfur reagent with the molecular formula C₇H₆N₄S, consisting of a thiocarbonyl group bonded to two imidazole rings. It is widely used in organic synthesis for activating hydroxyl groups and forming thiocarbonates, thioesters, and carbamothioates. This reagent is particularly valuable in peptide and nucleoside chemistry, as well as in the synthesis of thio analogs of biologically active compounds. Its mild reactivity, good solubility, and selectivity make it a versatile tool in constructing sulfur-containing molecular architectures.
