Known methods were developed to give convenient general procedures for preparing N-acyl-N'-mono- and -N',N'-disubstituted thioureas from acid chlorides, and related N-imidoyl thioureas from imidoyl chlorides.In the products from three acid chlorides and ammonium thiocyanate the acyl isothiocyanates did not appear to be accompained by the isomeric thiocyanates.Treatment of N-(anilino)benzylidene-N',N'-disubstituted thioures with chloroacetone in the presence of triethylamine leads to 5-acetyl-4-phenyl-2-(N,N-disubstituted amino)thiazoles.In contrast, the corresponding N-benzoyl thioureas form only small amounts of these compounds; the main products are the 5-benzoyl-4-methyl isomers, and this unexpected outcome requires a revision of the literature.It is thought that formation of the 5-benzoyl-4-methylthiazoles involves N-C(4) fission of a cyclic intermediate to give an open-chain intermediate in which nucleophilic attack can occur at either the acetyl or the benzoyl group.One of the latter intermediates was generated directly from 2-acetyl-2-bromoacetophenone and N-methyl-N-phenylthiourea, and found to give the 5-benzoyl-4-methyl- and 5-acetyl-4-phenyl-thiazoles as the major and minor products, respectively.
