Abstract

The reaction of ,′-bis(arylmethylidene)arylmethane diimines with thiourea under reflux in methanol was studied. The reaction gave a diastereomeric mixture of 4,6-disubstituted 1,3,5-triazinane-2-thiones in good yields. Two diastereoisomers of 4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazinane-2-thione were detected in a solution of CDCl by NMR analysis. According to the NMR studies, the -dia­stereoisomer undergoes a solvent-induced /-isomerization process, producing the -diastereoisomer in DMSO. The stereochemistry of the -diastereoisomer was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
