J. CHEM. SOC. PERKIN TRANS. I 1995 Some chemistry of 4,5-dichloro-l,2,3-dithiazolium chloride and its derivatives Thierry Bessont and Charles W. Rees Department of Chemistry, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London S W7 2A K UK 4,5-Dichloro- 1,2,3-dithiazoliurn chloride 1 reacts with fluoroanilines (see Table 1) to give the imino- dithiazoles 5 in very high yield. Thermolysis of the latter gave the corresponding 2-cyanobenzothiazoles 6 together, in some cases, with the cyanoimidoyl chlorides 7.This reaction sequence provides modest yields of 2-cyanobenzothiazoles from the corresponding aniline, in two steps. Treatment of the iminodithiazoles with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in dichloromethane at or below room temperature opened the heterocyclic ring to give the N-arylcyanothioformamides(e.g.8 -lo), except for the p-nitrophenyl compound which gave p-nitrophenyl isothiocyanate 14 in high yield. 4,5-Dichloro- 1,2,3-dithiazolium chloride 1, which is readily prepared from chloroacetonitrile and disulfur dichloride, reacts rapidly with anilines in the presence of pyridine to give very stable, pale yellow to orange, N-arylimines 2. Previous work also showed that imino compounds 2cyclised when vigorously heated to give sulfur, hydrogen chloride and 2-cyanobenzothiazoles3.2An electron-releasing group (R = rn-OMe) favoured formation of the benzothiazole 3 whilst a strongly electron-withdrawing group (R = m-or p-NOz) reduced the yield of 3 dramatically, in favour of the cyano- imidoyl chloride 4, which became the major product.2 2 3 4 We have now explored further this new method for con- verting anilines into 2-cyanobenzothiazoles and cyanoimidoyl chlorides in two simple steps, with particular reference to fluoroanilines.The benzothiazoles 3 could, presumably, be formed by an electrocyclisation and fragmentation process, as shown in Scheme 1. The sulfur atom is presumably not extruded as such CI Scheme 1 but in some bimolecular process, possibly involving the nitrile sulfide. Imidoyl chloride formation involves the loss of both t Present address: Laboratoire de Gknie Proteique et Cellulaire, Chimie Organique et Biocatalyse, PBles des Sciences et Technologies, Universite de La Rochelle, Avenue Marillac, F-17042, La Rochelle Cedex 1, France.sulfur atoms and this could possibly occur by their direct loss as S2 to form the nitrilium chloride shown (Scheme 2) which collapses to the observed product. ci Scheme 2 Apart from the inherent interest of fluorinated derivatives of compounds 3 and 4, it was felt that fluoro substituents, being small and electron-withdrawing, would throw light on the factors controlling the alternative pathways of Schemes 1 and 2. The monofluoroanilines and 2,4- and 3,4-difluoroanilines all reacted cleanly with 4,5-dichloro- 1,2,3-dithiazolium chloride 1 (1 equiv.) in dichloromethane at room temperature for 2 h, followed by addition of pyridine (2 equiv.), to give the appro- priate iminodithiazole, 5a-e, in very high yield (Table 1). These products when heated neat at 250°C for 1 min gave black, messy reactions which were even more complex when con- ducted in a solvent.However all resulted in cyclisation to the corresponding 2-cyanobenzothiazole 6a-f, usually in modest yield, whilst three (5c, d, e) also gave some imidoyl chloride, 7. With 5e both possible benzothiazoles (6eand 6f) were formed together with a comparable amount of the imidoyl chloride 7e (Table 1). In general, the fluorines appear not to be sufficiently electron-withdrawing for the imidoyl chlorides to become dominant, and this simple reaction sequence still provides an acceptable route to fluorinated 2-cyanobenzothiazoles. m-Chloroperbenzoic acid reactions In view of the high temperature required for rearrangement of the iminodithiazoles 5 into benzothiazoles 6 and imidoyl chlorides 7, we decided to attempt S-oxidation of the dithiazole ring in the expectation that the less aromatic system so formed would decompose at a lower temperature.N-(4-Chloro-W- 1,2,3-dithiazol- 5-ylidene)-4-met hoxyaniline 82 was treated with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (1.1 equiv.) in dichloromethane at -20 "C and at room temperature; the Table 1 Prep ofthe iminodithiazoles S J.

Similar oxidation of 8, but with excess of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (3 equiv.) in refluxing dichloromethane gave the thioamide derivative 11 (72), presumably by oxidative hydration of the cyano group in 10.In a separate experiment, compound 10was shown to be converted into 11 (80) by treatment with m- chloroperbenzoic acid (2 equiv.) in refluxing dichloromethane.This efficient oxidative hydration of the cyano group of the cyanothioformamide 10,without oxidation of the thioamide group, is worthy of further investigation. The 2-fluoro- 5a and 4-fluoro-phenyl iminodithiazoles 5c were similarly treated with m-chloroperbenzoic acid to give the corresponding cyanothioformamides in 59 and 37 yields, respectively. It was also shown, though by TLC evidence only, that all of the cyanothioformamides made in this work could be reconverted into the starting iminodithiazoles by treatment with sulfur dichloride in dichloromethane at room temperature Cwn.(1)l.
