Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 2-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-one (5) at 600°C/1.5·10-3 Torr proceeded via CO2-elimination to give 3-phenyl-2H-azirine (6) as the only detectable product which was isolated in 34% yield. Under similar conditions, 4,4-dimethyl-1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 7a and 7b yielded isomeric 1,4,2-dithiazole derivatives 8a,b as main products. Desulfurization leads to 2-(2-propylidene)-1,3-thiazetes 9 as minor products, and in the case of 7a, disulfide 10a is formed as a second minor product.
