Abstract The reaction of potassium cyanodithioimidocarbonate with 3-chloro-2, 4- pentanedione, ethyl α-chloroacetoacetate, chloroacetone, or 2, 3-dichloro 1, 4- napthoquinone afforded novel heterocyclic compounds (2),(3), and (4) and (6). The reaction of the potassium salt with p-chlorophenyl chlorothioformate, 4-chloro-3-nitro or 3, 5- dinitrobenzotrifluoride or dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride furnished new routes for the ...
