A Mild and Convenient Method for Conversion of Thioamides to Their Corresponding Amides Using Acidified Wet Silica-Supported Permanganate Under Solvent-Free Conditions

A mild and efficient method for conversion of thioamides to their corresponding amides is reported. A series of thioamides are transformed to their corresponding carbonyl compounds in good to excellent yields by acidified wet silica-supported permanganate under solid phase conditions.
