Abstract

A new route to S-alkylcarbamothioates is disclosed. In a first step, N-(2-aminophenyl)-4- methyl-thiazolin-2-thione is transformed into a mono-or disubstituted urea at nitrogen, and then in a second step, alkylated at sulfur. The resulting salts, after treatment with a base, gave S-alkylcarbamothioates in high isolated yields together with 3-methyl [1, 3] thiazolo [3, 2-a] benzimidazole under very mild conditions.
