Derivatives of 2-Oxo-3(2H)-benzothiazolineacetonitrile and Related Compounds. II. Synthesis of 2-Oxo-alkyl Esters of 3(2H)-Benzothiazolineacetimidic Acids and Related Products

The reaction of the appropriate 2-benzothiazolinone or 2-benzoxazolinone under basic conditions with (1) 2-chloropropionitrile, (2) acrylonitrile, (3) 4-chlorobutyronitrile or (4) chloroacetonitrile afforded the nitriles 1-8.The reaction of various nitriles with alcoholic-hydrogen chloroide solutions at low temperatures afforded the hydrogen chloride salts of the imino-ester which upon neutralization with potassium carbonate yielded the titled compounds.
