Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Some Novel 2-Aroylimino-3-aryl-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazolines

Abstract

Abstract An efficient synthesis of some novel 2-aroylimino-3-aryl-4-phenyl-1,3-thiazolines was carried out by base-catalyzed cyclization of 1-aroyl-3-arylthioureas with acetophenone in the presence of bromine. The structures were confirmed by spectroscopic data, elemental analyses, and in one case (2t) by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data.
