The reaction of 2-methylthio- or 2-phenylthioarylimines with di-iso-propyl peroxydicarbonate (DPDC) is described. The phenylthio-derivatives undergo cyclization to benzothiazoles via a free-radical mechanism, whereas the methylthio-analogs afford arylthiomethyl iso-propyl carbonates, together with benzothiazoles as well; this last result could be accounted for with the intervention of a non-radical mechanism operating side by side with the radical one.
