      1,2,3-Dithiazole chemistry in heterocyclic synthesis 

      Christoforou, Irene C.; Koutentis, Panayiotis Andreas; Michaelidou, Sophia S. (2006)
      The chemistry of various 5H-1,2,3-dithiazoles is investigated with emphasis on assisted ring opening and ring closure reactions leading to new heterocycles. Thus on treatment with catalytic tetraalkylammonium iodide ...

      3,4,5-Triarylisothiazoles via C-C coupling chemistry 

      Christoforou, Irene C.; Koutentis, Panayiotis Andreas (2007)
      The regiocontrolled preparation of triarylisothiazoles is presented. 3-Halo-5-phenylisothiazole-4-carbonitriles, 1 (hal = Cl) and 18 (hal = I), are converted into the corresponding 4-bromo derivatives 5 (3-hal = Cl) and ...
