In contrast to thermolysis of 1,3λ4δ2,2,4‐benzodithiadiazine (1) and its 5,6,7,8‐tetrafluoro derivative 2 in dilute (10–3 M) hydrocarbon solutions, which leads to persistent 1,2,3‐benzodithiazolyls in nearly quantitative yields, the thermolysis of 1 and 2 (the 6‐6 bicyclic system) in concentrated (0.5 M) solutions at 150–170 °C results in complex mixtures of various polysulfur‐nitrogen heterocycles, in particular differently fused 5‐5‐6, 5‐6‐7 and 5‐6‐6‐6 polycyclic systems that were previously unknown. The products were isolated by column chromatography, and the structures of the 5‐5‐6 (11, 12), 5‐6‐7 (5, 13), and 5‐6‐6‐6 (6, 14, 15) polycyclic systems, as well as the 6‐7 (4) and 5‐6 (16) bicyclic derivatives, confirmed by X‐ray diffraction. The crystal packing of 6 and 11–16 is discussed with special emphasis on π‐stacking interactions. The fluorescent properties of the 5‐6‐6‐6 systems synthesized are reported. An alternative approach to the linear 5‐6‐6‐6 system 15 based on self‐condensation of an R–N=PPh3 precursor (R = 4,5,6,7‐tetrafluoro‐1,2,3‐benzodithiazol‐2‐yl) is described, and the free‐radical character of this new reaction is proved.
