Abstract

12-Tungstosilicic acid (H4SiW12O40) is applied for the conversion of a series of thioamides to their corresponding oxo analogues in excellent yields in acetonitrile. In the case of thioketones, no reaction is observed under these conditions. The reusability of the catalyst also is investigated.
