REACTION OF 2-IMINOBENZOTHIAZOLINES WITH PROPYLENE OXIDE

The reaction of 2-iminobenzothiazolines with propylene oxide in methanol involves splitting of the thiazoline ring and formation of derivatives of o-aminothiophenol, urea, and oxazolidinone. It is shown that diaLkylaminobenzothiazoles, in contrast to their imino isomers, do not react with oxiranes.
