vic-Iodothiocyanates and iodoisothiocyanates. Part 3. Further preparations, and the formation of 2-alkoxy-2-thiazolines

Abstract

The reactions of (E)-hex-3-ene, 4-t-butylcyclohexene, and 3-t-butylcyclohexene with iodine and potassium thiocyanate are examined. The action of iodine and thiocyanogen with (E)-hex-3-ene gives different results from those reported in the literature. Isomerizations of the vic-iodothiocyanates to vic-iodoisothiocyanates and formation of 2-alkoxy-2-thiazolines from the latter adducts are reported.
