Abstract

Irradiation of N-thioaroylureas and N-thioaroylthioureas gave imidazolidinones and imidazolidinethiones, respectively both via intramolecular hydrogen abstraction by the thioaroyl groups; the photoproducts were easily converted to the imidazolones and imidazolthiones on treatment with trifluoroacetic acid.
