Gh. Elgemeie et al., THE REACTION OF CYANOKETENE DITHIOACETALS WITH IMIDAZOLIDINONES - A SYNTHESIS OF METHYLSULFANYLPYRROLO[1.2-C]IMIDAZOLONES, Journal of chemical research. Synopses, (7), 1996, pp. 340-341
A novel synthesis of 7-methylsulfanylpyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazoles via reac
tion of [bis(alkylsulfanyl)methylene] malononitrile and ethyl 2-cyano-
3,3-bis(alkylsulfanyl)acrylate with 2-thioxohydantoins is reported and
the synthetic potential of the method is demonstrated.
