Abstract

The transformation of N-substituted 2-heteroylthiosemicarbazides to N-(2-substituted imino)-4-amino-5-cyanothiazol-3(2H)-3-yl)-heteroyl-2-carboxamides was achieved via the reaction with tetracyanoethylene, which is used as a building block in this transformation. The structures of the products have been confirmed unambiguously by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. A rationale for the formation of the products is presented.
