The cycloaddition of other chloral N-acylimines to
I and reactivity of compounds III will be considered
in details in future publications.
5(2H)-imines (I) are capable of [3+2]-cycloaddition
to nitriles and heterocumulenes [1]. In this publication
we report on the fact that the similar process easily
proceeds in the reaction of I with chloral N-alkoxy-
carbonylimines (II), possessing emphasized electro-
philicity of their C=N bond. Structure of the formed
cycloaddition compounds III was established by
spectral and x-ray structural investigations which
prove formation of 1,2,4-thiadiazolidine ring with the
sulfur atom coordinated additionally with the terminal
nitrogen in the side chain of 1,3- diaza-1,3-diene
group. Such coordination is obviously significant not
only for stabilization of structure of compounds III
Ethyl 4-methyl-3-trichloromethyl-5-[(E)-N-
phenylbenzimidoyl-(Z)-imino]-1,2,4-thiadiazo-
lidyne 2-carboxylate (IIIa). To a solution of 4.55 g
(
