Synthesis of 3-thienyl-substituted isothiazolines-2 and 1,2,4-thiadiazoles based on nitrile sulfides of the thiophene series

The reaction of substituted - and -thienylcarboxamides with chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride gave 5-thienylsubstituted 1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-ones. Decarboxylation of the latter by heating in o-dichlorobenzene generated in situ - and -thienylnitrile sulfides, which in the presence of dipolarophiles dimethyl fumarate, N-phenylmaleinimide, chloro(trichloro)acetonitrile] give the corresponding 3-thienyl-substituted ²-isothiazolines and 5-chloromethyl(trichloromethyl)-1,2,4-thiadiazoles.N.
