Investigations in the field of 2,1,3-thiadiazole and 2,1,3-selenadiazole

The action of sodiomalonic ester on 4-bromomethylbenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole forms a malonate which is converted by acid hydrolysis into 4-(-carboxyethyl)benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole. When this reaction is carried out with 5-bromomethylbenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole, mono- and disubstituted malonic esters are formed the acid hydrolysis of which gives the corresponding acids. The nitration of 4-and 5-(-carboxyethyl)benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazoles forms, respectively, 4-(-carboxyethyl)-5,7-dinitrobenzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole and 5-(-carboxyethyl)4-nitrobenzo-2,1, 3-thiadiazole. The reaction of 4-bromomethylbenzo-2,1, 3-thiadiazole with potassium cyanide forms two products: 4-cyanomethylbenzo-2,1, 3-thiadiazole and 1,2-di(benzo-2,1, 3-thiadiazole-4-yl)-2-cyanoethane.For part LVIII, see [1].
