Thiethan-1-N-arylamides and their Rearrangements to N-Aryl-1,2-thiazolidines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00811249

Reaction of thiethanes with anilines and tert.butyl hypochlorite results in the formation of thietane-1-N-arylimides which rearrange thermally with ring enlargement to give N-aryl-1,2-thiazolidines in high yields. - Keywords: Thietane-1-imides; 1,2-Thiazolidines; Sulfimides; Thermal ring enlargement; 1,2-Migration
