Abstract
Abstract Phenoxymethyl and phenylthiomethyl chlorides are readily converted into the corresponding thiocyanates by interaction with potassium thiocyanate in acetone or alcohol. The compounds thus obtained possess the thiocyanate and not the isothiocyanate structure. 2: 4‐Dichlorophen‐oxymethyl thiocyanate undergoes isomerization to the isothiocyanate on distillation under reduced pressure.
