Thiomethylation of heteroaromatic amines with formaldehyde-hydrogen sulfide gave linear and cyclic heteroatom compounds: N,N′-[methylenebis(sulfanediylmethylene)]bishetarenamines and 5 3,]bishetarenamines were found to undergo transformation into 5-hetaryl-1,3,5-dithiazinanes by the action of CH 2 O-H 2 S. Transamination of 5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-amine, 6-nitro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-amine, and 5-bromopyridin-2-amine with 5-methyl-1,3,5-dithiazinane selectively afforded the corresponding 5-hetaryl-1,3,5-dithiazinanes.One-pot thiomethylation of amines with the CH 2 O-H 2 S system [1] provides a simple and efficient synthetic route to 1,3,5-thiadiazinanes and 1,3,5-dithiazinanes [2-5], some of which were found to exhibit bactericidal, herbicidal, fungicidal, insecticidal, acaricidal, and antimicrobial activity [6-8].1,3,5-Dithiazinanes can also be obtained by transamination with N-tert-butyl-1,3,5-dithiazinane [9] or by reaction of hydrogen sulfide with 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazinane formed by condensation of methylamine with formaldehyde [10]. There are no published data on the synthesis of 1,3,5-dithiazinanes and 1,3,5-thiadiazinanes by thiomethylation of heteroaromatic amines, many of which possess various kinds of biological activity (fungicidal, antimicrobial, antitumor, and antioxidant) [11,12].In the present work we examined both synthetic approaches to 1,3,5-thiadiazinanes and 1,3,5-dithiazinanes via thiomethylation of 5-methylisoxazol-3-amine (Ia), 5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (Ib), 4-methyl-, 5-methyl-, 4-phenyl-and 5-nitrothiazol-2-amines IcIf, 6-nitro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-amine (Ig), pyridine-2-amine (Ih), pyridine-3-amine (Ii), pyridine-4-amine (Ij), 4-methylpyridin-2-amine (Ik), and 5-bromopyridin-2-amine (Il). We previously showed that substituted anilines undergo thiomethylation with CH 2 O-H 2 S and that the reaction direction depends on both the conditions and structural specificity of the substrate
