efficient synthesis from p-substituted acetophenones. Alkylation of heterocycles 6–10 in the form of their potassium or tetraalkylammonium salts 11–15 affords N-alkoxy-4-arylthiazole-2(3H)-thiones 16–20 in good to satisfactory yields. The hitherto unknown thiones 16–20 have been subjected to a detailed structural investigation (NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography) and furthermore to a mechanistic

4-(p-Chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxythiazole-2(3H)-thione (3) can be prepared in good yields and in useful quantities from p-chloro acetophenone (1). 0-Alkylation of the cyclic thiohydroxamic acid 3 via the respective potassium or the tetraethyl ammonium salts affords the esters 4. A slightly modified procedure allows the conversion of the acid 3 to the mixed anhydrides 5. The esters 4 and the anhydrides 5 are colorless to yellowish crystalline compounds which show a good shelf life. Visible light photolysis of the N-alkoxy derivatives 4e-g and reactive hydrogen donors affords substituted tetrahydrofurans 7 or tetrahydropyrans 8 via an alkoxyl radical pathway.
