Abstract-Three-component condensations of formaldehyde with hydrogen sulfide and hydroxylamine or amino alcohols at a ratio of 3 : 2 : 1 give 47-73% of N-hydroxy(or hydroxyalkyl)-1,3,5-dithiazinanes. The reactions of CH 2 O with H 2 S and hydroxylamine or α-amino alcohols at a ratio of 4 : 3 : 1 involve both amino and hydroxy groups, leading to the corresponding dithiazinanes. 4-Aminobutan-1-ol reacts with CH 2 O and H 2 S under analogous conditions only at the amino group to form 4-(1,3,5-dithiazinan-5-yl)butan-1-ol.Thiomethylation of various amines with formaldehyde and hydrogen sulfide is known to give 1,3,5-dithiazinanes [1][2][3]. With a view to extent the scope of application of this method and elucidate the possibility of using difunctional amino-and hydroxy-containing monomers as substrates, in the present study we examined for the first time reactions of aliphatic amino alcohols with CH 2 O and H 2 S. As initial compounds we selected aqueous ammonia, hydroxylamine, 2-aminoethanol, R-(-)-2-aminobutan-1-ol, 2-amino-3-hydroxypropionic acid (serine), and 4-aminobutan-1-ol. According to [4], hydroxylamine reacts with formaldehyde to give exclusively 1,3,5-trihydroxy-1,3,5-triazine. We have found that three-component condensation of hydroxylamine with CH 2 O and H 2 S at a ratio of 1 : 2 : 1 or 1 : 3 : 2 at 20°C leads to the formation of 1,3,5-dithiazinan-5-ol (I) (Scheme 1). When the amount of the thiomethylating agent (CH 2 O-H 2 S) increases (reactant ratio 1 : 4 : 3), the hydroxy group of the substrate is also involved in the process. At a reactant ratio of 1 : 2 : 1, the yield of compound I is ~31%; also, 5-methyl-1,3,5-dithiazinane (II) is formed as minor product: its fraction does not exceed 1% (Table 1). In the presence of excess CH 2 O and H 2 S (NH 2 OH-H 2 O-H 2 S ratio 1 : 4 : 3), the major product is 1,3,5-dithiazinan-5-yloxymethanol (III, ~56%). In addition, ~3% of 1,3,5-dithiazinane (IV) and ~2% of 1,2,4-trithiolane (V) are formed. Further raising of the amount of CH 2 O-H 2 S to a ratio of (5 : 3) : 1 with respect to hydroxylamine favors preferential formation of alcohol III which is likely to arise from compound I and formaldehyde.
