Thiocarbonyldiimidazole
1,1'-Thiocarbonyldiimidazole (TCDI) is a thiourea containing two imidazole rings.[1] It is the sulfur analog of the peptide coupling reagent carbonyldiimidazole (CDI).

Synthesis
TCDI is commercially available but can also be prepared via the reaction of thiophosgene with two equivalents of imidazole.[1]
Reactions
The imidazole groups on TCDI can be easily displaced, allowing it to act as a safer alternative to thiophosgene. This behaviour has been used in the Corey–Winter olefin synthesis.[2] It may also replace carbonothioyl species (RC(S)Cl) in the Barton–McCombie deoxygenation. Other uses include the synthesis of thioamides and thiocarbamates. Like the analogous CDI, it may be used for peptide coupling.[3]
