Abstract
A series of benzo- and naphthothiazolediones have been synthesized by the reactions of N-substituted thioureas with π-deficient quinones. The products were obtained by the reaction of N-aroylphenylthioureas with 2,3,5,6-tetracholoro-1,4-benzoquinone, 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone and 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone.
