Anthranilic acid and 4, 5-dichloro-1, 2, 3-dithiazolium chloride 1 give the delicate dithiazoloimino carboxylic acid 8 which on mild thermolysis gives 2-cyano-3, 1-benzoxazin- 4-one 6 and with triphenylphosphine gives 2-cyano-3, 1-benzothiazin-4-one 7, both quantitatively; in general N-aryliminodithiazoles 2 with triphenylphosphine give the corresponding cyanothioformanilides 3, providing a route to these compounds from ...
