A new and efficient method for the conversion of primary and secondary alkyl, aryl, allyl and benzyl silyl ethers to their corresponding thiocyanates by in-situ generation of Ph3P(SCN)2 is described. The reactions occur immediately at room temperature and provide high to excellent yields of thiocyanates.
