G. Argay et al., HETEROCYCLIC-COMPOUNDS FROM SUGARS .13. SYNTHESIS OF 2-POLYHYDROXYALKYL-DELTA(4)-1,3,4-THIADIAZOLINES FROM ALDOSES, Tetrahedron, 51(47), 1995, pp. 12911-12922
The reaction between 2-phenylthiobenzhydrazide and aldoses has been in
vestigated; the products obtained in these reactions have the structur
e of 2-polyhydroxyalkyl-Delta(4)-1,3,4-thiadiazolines as shown by spec
troscopic evidence and by single crystal X-ray analysis.
