Popis: Base-induced cycloadditions of tosylmethyl isocyanide to a series of isothiocyanates have been investigated. Depending on the reaction conditions, thiazoles 5 and/or imidazoles 7 are obtained, with the thiazoles, in particular, being obtained with high regiospecificity. During the course of this work a high-yield ring transformation of 5-amino-1,3-thiazoles (5) to imidazole-5-thiols (7) was discovered, which has not been previously reported. A number of reactions of 7 are described.
