Abstract: | The reactivity of the methylene group of 5-phenyl and a, G-diphenylimidazo [2, 1-b]thiazolid-3-ones is investigated. The corresponding alkylidene, arylidene, and azomethine derivatives are prepared by reaction with, respectively, aldehydes, isatin, and nitro compounds. Diazonium salts give azo coupling products whose IR spectra show then to be 2-arylhydrazines of imidazo[2, 1-b]thiazolid-2, 3diones.For Part XXXIII see [18] |
