Reactions of Dithiocarbamates and Thiocarbonates with Heterocumulenes

3,3-Bis(alkylthio)-2-dialkylaminothiocarbonylthioacrylonitriles 3-5 are obtained by dithiocarboxylation reaction of N,N-disubstituted S-cyanomethyl dithiocarbamates 1a-c in NaH/THF at -15 deg C followed by alkylation.Treatment of N,N-dimethyl-S-methylthiomethyldithiocarbamate 6 with CS2/2 n-BuLi in THF at -55 deg C gives N,N-dimethyl S-dithiocarbamates 7a-c.Phenylisothiocyanat reacts with S-alkoxycarbonylmethyl-O-alkylthiocarbonates 8a, b in the presence of t-BuOK/dry DMF to yield 4-subst. 2-oxo-3-phenyl-1,3-thiazoline-5-carboxylates 11a-e.

A New Synthetic Route to Aliphatic and Alicyclic Nitriles via Homolytic Desulfurization of α-(Dithiocarbamoylthio) Nitriles

Chloroacetonitrile was transformed into aliphatic and alicyclic nitriles through (dimethyldithiocarmoylthio)acetonitrile.The key steps in the synthetic route consisted of mono- and dialkylation via sulfur-stabilized carbanion and homolytic desulfurization using tributyltin hydride.
