Ks. Yoon et al., A NOVEL TRANSFORMATION FROM 5-ARYL-4,4-DIMETHYL-2-PHENYLISOXAZOLIDE-3-THIONES TO 4-ARYL-3,3-DIMETHYL-2-PHENYLIMINOTHIETHANES, Heterocycles, 43(6), 1996, pp. 1211-1221
Treatment of -aryl-4,4-dimethyl-2-phenylisoxazolidine-3-thiones with t
rimethylsilyl iodide (6 molar equiv) in the presence of zinc iodide (2
molar equiv) in chloroform at 50 degrees C under nitrogen atmosphere
gave 4-aryl-3,3-dimethyl-2-(N-phenylimino)thiethanes in good to modera
te yields.
