Popis: Formation of 3,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-thiadiazoles by the reaction of sulfur dichloride with nitriles in the presence of a Lewis acid was found. For example, 3,5-diphenyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole was obtained with its chlorinated products, 3-o-chlorophenyl-5-phenyl- and 3-p-chlorophenyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-thiadiazoles, from benzonitrile and sulfur dichloride using aluminium chloride as a catalyst (total yield 80%). The extent of chlorination of the aromatic ring was suppressed by use of iron(III) chloride as the catalyst or of sulfur chloride instead of the dichloride. Some substituted benzonitriles and pivalonitrile also gave thiadiazoles in lower yields.
