Reactions of Cyanodithioformates with Primary Amines
N-alkyldithiooxamides 3 and N,N-dialkyldithiooxamides 4 were synthesized in good yields by reaction of cyanodithioformates 1 with primary aliphatic amines.N-alkylcyanodithioformamides 2, intermediates in these reactions were obtained in very low yields only.The reaction of 1 and diaminoethane or 1,3-diaminopropane afforded imidazolidine-2-thione 5a respectively perhydropyrimidine-2-thione 5b.The reaction of 1 with 1-chloro-2-aminoethane did gave 2-thiocarbamoylthiazoline 7.
