The C-H activation of cyclic formaldehyde aminals LCH2 (L = RNCH2CH2CH2-NR and RNCH2CH2-NR, R = Me, Et, iPr, tBu, or Ph) with S8 proceeds at unusually low temperatures (T 2S. The reaction constitutes a new, solvent-free method for the synthesis of thioureas that eliminates the toxic and highly flammable CS2. For R = tBu, the ionic carbenium thiocyanates [LCH]+ SCN- dominate the product spectrum and the respective thioureas are obtained in low yield. The reactivity of the analogous sulfur and oxygen ring systems towards S8 was investigated. 1,3-Dithiolane is cleanly converted into 1,3-dithiolane-2-thione (S8, 14 d, 190°C) and resembles the cyclic formaldehyde aminals in this respect. 1,3-Dioxolane (L = OCH2CH2O) is completely inert towards sulfur even under forceful reaction conditions (190°C, 14 d). The formation of thioureas from aminals was investigated at the CBS-4 and B3LYP/6-31G(d) levels of theory.

1,3-Dimethyl-3H-imidazole-2-thione (3), prepared by a much improved procedure from 1,3-dimethylimidazolium iodide (6) with sulfur and organic base, was oxidized with H2O2 in MeOH; three molar proportions of H2O2 were consumed, 1,3-dimethylimidazolium picrate (14; synthesized independently) was isolated in 61percent yield, and 80percent of the expected sulfate ion was found.Oxidation of the analogous imidazolidine (4), prepared from 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidone (16) with Lawesson's reagent (17), gave a counterpart picrate (73percent from 4) in a similar but slower reaction. 1,3-Diphenyl-2-imidazolidinethione (5) had to be oxidized in DMF-AcOH, with H2SO4 catalysis, and only 1,3-diphenyl-2-imidazolidone (19, 63percent) could be isolated.Understanding is added to the behavior in oxidations of thiono derivatives of imidazoles by these extensions of several earlier studies to different types within the class, i.e., of an N-unsubstituted one (1) to the N,N-dimethyl counterpart (4), of an N-methyl unsaturated one (2) to the N,N-dimethyl counterpart (3), and of an N,N-diphenyl unsaturated one (23) to the saturated counterpart (5).Similarities and differences are discussed relative to members of the class studied previously, along with information that improves understanding of the different courses of reactions various members of the class may follow when they are oxidized.
