Popis: The reactions of the title compounds are governed by sulfur redox chemistry. Thus, cyanothioformamide 2 reacts with aryl isocyanates 3a−c to give bis[3-aryl-1-(arylcarbamoyl)-2-oxo-4-(arylcarbamoylimino)imidazolidin-5-yl] disulfides 6, as shown by an X-ray crystallographic investigation of product 6a. Reaction with methyl isocyanate (3d) gives the related trisulfide 7d along with disulfide 6d. A desulfurized product, imidazolinone 10, could also be isolated from the methyl isocyanate reaction and was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. In boiling ethanol, 6a and 7d undergo reductive desulfurization to give 4-iminoimidazolidin-2-one 11a and the methyl analog 11d, respectively.
