Cyclopenta-1,2,3-dithiazoles and related compounds
Abstract
Cylopentanone oxime reacts with S2Cl2at 4 °C in tetrahydrofuran containing a base, or in dimethylformamide, to give deep-violet crystals of the 10π-heteroaromatic trichlorocyclopenta-1,2,3-dithiazole 7 without isolable intermediates; other 1.2,3-dithiazoles (2, 4, 10, 12, 13, and 15) are readily formed similarly.
