“…Dithiomalonodiamides and, in particular, N,N'diphenyldithiomalonodiamide 1 are actively used in various chemistry fields as bidentate complexing agents [1][2][3][4][5][6], steel corrosion inhibitors [7], reagents for the Ag + extraction from chloride-containing aqueous solutions [8], and also as starting reagents for the synthesis of a number of sulfur-containing heterocyclic systems-derivatives of 1,2-dithiol [9][10][11][12][13][14], thiazole [15,16], 1,3-dithiine [17][18][19][20][21][22], [1,2]dithiolo [3,4-b]pyridine [23], 1,2,3-thiadiazole [24], thiophene [25,26], 3,5-diaminopyrazole [11,26,27], etc. (Scheme 1).…”
