The behavior of ethyl 2-phenylthiocarbamoyl acetate 1 toward a variety of several ␣-halocarbonyl compounds was investigated. Thus, reaction of 1 with ␣-bromoketones, hydrazonoyl bromides, and 2-chloro-N-arylacetamides afforded the corresponding dihydrothiazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole, and thiophene derivatives, respectively. The synthesis of thiazolidin-4one 11, thiazolidin-5-one 12, and some azo derivatives of thiazolidin-5-one were described. 5-Arylazothiazoles 17 and 19 were synthesized by condensation of hydrazonoyl bromides 3 with different thiourea derivatives.
