The N-(4-substituted phenyl)-N'-cyclohexylideneacetylthioureas IIa - I
If were readily prepared by the reaction of cyclohexylideneacetyl isot
hiocyanate I with 4-substituted anilines. They were cyclized to the 2-
(4-substituted phenylimino)-4-oxo-1,3-thiazaspiro[5.5]undecanes IIIa -
IIIe in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate and to the 1-(4-su
bstituted enyl)-4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,3-diazaspiro[5.5]-undecanes IVa, IVc
- IVf in alkaline medium.
