Abstract

A new, efficient, and straightforward synthesis of 3-arylmethyl-4-chloromethyl-2-imino-1, 3- thiazolidines and 2-(N-acylimino)-3-arylmethyl-4-chloromethyl-1, 3-thiazolidines has been developed by ring transformation of 1-arylmethyl-2-(thiocyanomethyl) aziridines upon treatment with a catalytic amount of titanium (IV) chloride in dichloromethane. The latter 2- (thiocyanomethyl) aziridines were prepared in high yields from 1-arylmethyl-2-( ...
