in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com).1,3-Thiazine-5,6,6-tricarbonitrile and 2-thioxo-2,3-dihydropyrimidine-4,5-dicarbonitriles derivatives were synthesized via interactions between (1-aryl ethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamides and tetracyanoethylene to give the derivatives of tetracyanoethane and tricyanovinylation intermediates, followed by heterocyclization. The structures of the products have been confirmed by different spectroscopic analyses. A rational for the formation of the products is presented.
