The reaction of thiourea S,S-dioxide (formamidinesulfinic acid) in ethanolic alkali with 2,2'-dinitrobiphenyl and several related dinitro compounds possessing an-X-bridge (where X = NH, NMe, O and S), located at the 1,1'-positions, has been investigated.With 2,2'-dinitrobiphenyl (which gives good yields of benzocinnoline and its oxides) and, to a minor extent, with 2,2'-dinitrodiphenylamine, an intramolecular reaction occured to give heterocyclic products; with each of the other dinitro compounds, the only product obtained was formed as the result of a Smiles rearrangement.
