Abstract

The reaction of (substituted) alkenylidene-hydrazinecarbothioamides with 2-(1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-ylidene)propanedinitrile led to the formation of 1,3-dioxospiroindene[1,3]-thiazine and thioxoindeno[2,1-d]imidazolone derivatives in modest yields. In addition, 1,3-dihydroxyindan-2-ylidenepropanedinitrile was found. Explanations of these conversions involving nucleophilic reactions and condensations are presented.
