G. Brahmeshwari et al., A NOVEL SYNTHESIS OF SOME NAPHTHO[2,3-D]THIAZOLE-4,9-DIONES FROM LAWSONE, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 92(1-4), 1994, pp. 51-56
A series of naphtho[2,3-d]thiazole-4,9-diones (IV) have been prepared
by the condensation of bromo-lawsone (II) with thiosemicarbazones deri
ved from aldehydes and ketones in dry DMF. The products (V) are also o
btained by the cyclization of the intermediate 2-chlorobenzaldehyde th
iosemicarbazone of 1,4-naphthoquinone (IV) in ethanol containing KHCO3
obtained from 2, 3-dichloronaphthoquinone.
