4-Methyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione is a selective disulfide reductase with metal halide and cycloaddition activity. It catalyzes the reaction of alkali metal with carbon disulfide to form aziridine. The reaction proceeds through two steps: in the first step, alkali metal is reduced by carbon disulfide to form an alkyl radical; in the second step, the alkyl radical reacts with carbon disulfide to form aziridine. 4-Methyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione has been shown to be an efficient catalyst for this reaction and can also catalyze cycloadditions between urethane and aziridine.
