Abstract

The synthesis of thiazolidine-2-thiones from vic-iodoalkanecarbamates, stereospecifically obtained from cis and trans-butene, is reported. Reaction of the iodo-derivatives with potassium ethylxanthate and sodium hydroxide, allowed the stereospecific formation of thiazolidine-2-thiones. The stereochemistry of the latter reaction could be controlled by the experimental conditions. 4-Phenylthiazolidine-1-thione was obtained from the vic-iodoalkanecarbamate generated from styrene. A separable mixture of thiazolidin-2-ones (major camponent) and thiazolidine-2-thiones was obtained by reduction with NaBH4 from the substitution product of vic-iodoalkanecarbamates with potasium ethylxanthate.
