Abstract: | Addition Reactions of 2-Thiazolin-5-thiones with Acetylenes The reaction of the 2-thiazolin-5-thiones 1 and 5 , respectively, with acetylen carboxylates yields mainly 1, 4-dithiafulvenes of type 3. In the presence of the acetylenic compounds, the 1, 4-dithiafulvenes undergo an isomerization to give the corresponding 2, 3-dihydrothiophene-2-thiones 4. |
