Abstract
The treatment of 5 H-1,2,3-dithiazole-5-thiones 1 in chloroform under reflux and 5 H-1,2,3-dithiazol-5-ones 2 in THF at room temperature with primary aliphatic amines and benzylamine afforded 1,2,5-thiadiazole-3(2 H)-thiones 3 and 1,2,5-thiadiazol-3(2 H)-ones 6, respectively. The structure of dithiazolone 3f was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The reaction of dithiazolone 2e bearing an electron-donating methyl group in the 4-position gave 2-oxoacetamide 7e in high yield. The reaction of thiones 1 with secondary aliphatic amines in DMSO yielded 2-iminothioacetamides 8 in moderate yields together with elemental sulfur. Interestingly, the treatment of dithiazolones 2 with secondary amines under the same conditions afforded 2-oxoacetamides 9—the products of the hydrolysis of corresponding imino derivatives 10, which was isolated as 10b. A general mechanism was proposed for the formation of the products.
