“…The reaction of potassium salts [RNHC(=S)SK], R = -N(CH,),, morpholino, piperidino, or hexahydro-1-( 1H)azepinyl] in ethanol with 3-chloro-2,4-pentanedione [5] at 25-30' afforded 1-acetylacetonyl]dimethylaminodithiocarbamate (l), 1-acetylacetonyl4-morpholinodithiocarbamate (2), 1-acetylacetonyl 1-piperidinodithiocarbamate (3), 1-acetylacetonyl hexahydro-l(1H)azepinedithiocarbamate (4), respectively (Table 1). However, under refluxing temperatures (78-80°), the same reactants gave the heterocyclic compounds, 3-dimethylamino-4-methyl-5-acetyl-4-thiazoline-2-thione (5), 3-morpholino-4-methyI-5-acetyl-4-thiazoline-2-thione (6), 3-piperidino-4-methyl-5-acetyl-4-thiazoline-2-thione (7) and 3-(hexahydro-l-(lH)azepinyl)-4-methyl-5-acetyl-4-thiazoline-2-thione (8), respectively ( Table 2).…”
