The reaction of the potassium salt of 5,5-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin with 1,3-dibromopropane and triethylamine carried out under phase transfer catalytic conditions gave almost quantitatively two isomeric diphenylimidazothiazine 2 and 3 in a ratio ca 1:2. 2,3,4,5-Tetrahydro-7,7-diphenylimidazo- [2,1-b]-thiazine-6(7H)-one (3) crystallises from DMSO in the space group P212121 with a = 8.488(3), b = 11

The reaction between the potassium salt of 5,5-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin (1) and 1,3-dibromopropane carried out in DME under anhydrous conditions has been found to give two isomeric diphenylimidazothiazines 2 and 3. When the reaction of 1 with 1,3-dibromopropane was performed in protic solvents (EtOH, HOH, NaOH) 2 and 3-(3-mercaptopropyl) - 5,5 - diphenylthiohydantoin (4) were formed. The latter is
