Dithiobiuretes in reactions with electrophilic acetylenes. New derivatives of 1,3,5-dithiazines,-thiadiazines and-triazines as the products of competing reactions of nucleophilic cycloaddition

The nucleophilic addition of 2,4-dithiobiurete, 1- and 1,4-substituted 2,4-dithiobiuretes (2 a-e) with benzoylacetylene (1) has been studied. 2-(Benzoylmethyl)-4-(R¹-imino)-6-(R²-imino)dihydro-4H-1,3,5-dithiazinium perchlorates (3 a-e) are obtained in glacial acetic acid (AcOH) in the presence of equimolar quantities of HClO₄. The reaction of benzoylacetylene with 1,5-diphenyl-2,4-dithiobiurete in either of MeOH, C₆H₆, or MeCN solvents proceeds non-selectively to give a mixture of products such as 2-(benzoylmethyl)-4,6-di(phenylimino)dihydro-4H-1,3,5-dithiazine (5), 2-(benzoylmethyl)-4-(β-benzoylvinyl)thio-3-phenyl-6-(phenylimino)-3,6-dihydro-2H-1,3,5-thiadiazine (8), 2-(benzoylmethyl)-1,3-diphenylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazine-4,6-dithione (7) and N-(β-benzoylvinyl)-N-phenylthioureas (6).
