Addition of Diazo Compounds ipso-C-H Bond to Carbon Disulfide: Synthesis of 1,2,3-Thiadiazoles under Mild Conditions.

We describe here an operationally simple and straightforward synthesis method for a series of diverse 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-thiadiazoles via the nucleophilic addition of α-diazo carbonyl compounds to carbon disulfide. This method features using abundant and inexpensive carbon disulfide under mild reaction conditions.
