Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of thiazolidine-2-thiones is described via regiospecific iodocyclization of an allyl amine, carbon disulfide, and iodine. Dehydrohalogenation of the iodo-derivatives gives thiazole-2 (3H)-thiones. In addition, nucleophilic substitution of the iodine in the products is accomplished using NaN3, thiophenol, or dithiocarbamate.
