✦ Synopsis
Enobed a-thioqaua@~dicarbonyl compounds dimerise in ethanol at room temperature to give tautomeric 4,5-disubstiRued Zami~ and 2-xetami&thiazoles by a C-S-C + C-N cyclisation. Tautomerism is due to the unusual 4+dicarbonyl-u-thio) sub&i&W. Compe@ intramolecular cyclisations lead to minor amounts of heterccycles containing the thiazole and /or oxathiole ring systems.

RESULT!5 AND DISCUSSION
Treatment of diethyl chloromalonate and ethyl 2-chloro-2-methylacetoacetate with potassium or ammonium thiocyanate in ethanol led smoothly to the expected thiocyanates 5 and 6.2
