Abstrakt: On acylating 2 H-imidazole-4(3 H)-thiones the orange to violet crystalline N-1-acyl-2 H-imidazole-4(3 H)-thiones 1 a-18 a are formed, the thermal stability of which depends on the acyl group and the substituents in the heterocyclic ring system. Thus the N-aroyl-2,2,5-trimethyl-2 H-imidazole-4(3 H)-thiones 13 a-16 a are stable on being heated to the melting point, while 1 a-12 a are converted quantitatively to the corresponding S-aroyl-2 H-imidazole-4-thiols 1-12. Rearrangement is faster when the heterocyclic ring bears bulky substituents. The aliphatic N-acyl compounds 17 a and 18 a are thermally unstable. This N → S acyl group migration, described here for the first time, is shown to proceed by an intermolecular mechanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
