Abstract
Among the five-membered heterocycles containing nitrogen and sulphur atoms, 1,2,3-dithiazoles are important compounds due to their unusual physical properties, biological activity and versatile chemistry. The present review presents data on Appel’s salt and on the syntheses and reactions of imino-1,2,3-dithiazoles obtained over the recent 10 years.
