10. Beyond the original paper, which itself has only been cited 14 times to date, we are only aware of four isolated examples of the reaction of isothiocyanates with simple thioacids (three with thioacetic acid and one with indolethioacetic acid) and of none between isocyanates themselves and thioacids. The four examples of isothiocyanates and thioacids all make use of heating to 60 or 80 °C to achieve the reactions described, and none of the four papers makes reference to the original work of Kricheldorf and Leppert.
