Cyclocondensation of 1-hydroxyketones with thiosemicarbazide resulted in thiadiazines. Nitrate ester of 1-hydroxyketone reacted under similar conditions to give the corresponding thiosemicarbazone. In the case of bromoacetyl-substituted nitrate ester of 1-hydroxyketone, condensation proceeded via intramolecular reaction between the thiol and bromomethyl groups.
