M. Kleist et al., UNUSUAL FORMATION OF 3-AROYLIMINO-5-ARYLA MINO-3H-1,2,4-DITHIAZOLES, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 97(1-4), 1994, pp. 149-155
The reaction of 1,3-diaryl-3-arylamino-2-thiocyanato-propanones 9 and
aroylisothiocyanates was studied. 3-Aroylimino-5-arylamino-3H-1,2,4-di
thiazoles 11 were formed in this unusual pathway by several fragmentat
ion and rearrangement steps. The structure of the prepared compounds w
as confirmed by X-ray analysis of 11b.
