Abstract
Thermal rearrangement of 2,3-diarylthiazolidine-4-one (I and II) provided H2S, H2O benzene and its alkyl derivatives, thioglycolic acid, aromatic primary amine, benzonitrile, biaryl, tetraphenylthiophene, indole derivatives, benzil, acetophenone derivatives and benzthiazole derivatives. A suitable mechanism has been suggested which explains the obtained products.
