The compound of the formula (I) is a useful intermediate for the production of 1,3,5-thiadiazine-4-one, 2-imino-1,3,5-thiadiazine-4-one, imidazo- and pyrimido-1,3,5-thiadiazine-4-one, 5-phenoxy-phenyl-tetrahydro-1,3,5-thiadiazine-4-one, dihydro-1,3,5-thiadiazine-4-one and derivatives thereof, etc. In the conventional methods for preparing the 1,3,5-thiadiazine-4-one derivatives, the end products have been prepared by reacting N-chloromethyl carbamoyl chloride with thiourea. In these methods, N-chloromethyl carbamoyl chloride is too reactive and very inconvenient in treatment due to its instability. Furthermore, there are many drawbacks such as use of poisonous phosgene for the production of N-chloromethyl carbamoyl chloride and moreover formation a lot of isomeric compounds when unsymmetric thiourea which has different substituents each other is reacted, thereby resulting in poor yield in the final product, and also making the process be difficult. The present inventors engaged in research in order to solve the above problems/disadvantages and concluded that 1,3,5-thiadiazine-4-one derivatives can be easily prepared with a high yield by cyclization in the presence, or in the absence of solvent of S-(N-alkoxycarbonyl, N-substituted)amino methyl isothiourea derivative of the present invention. The present invention provides the compound of formula (I) and the process thereof which comprises reacting the compound of formula (II) with thiourea of formula(III). in the above formulas, R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁵ and R⁶ are as defined above. The compound of formula (I) according to the present invention can be prepared by reacting the compound of formula (II) with the compound (III) in the presence or in the absence of a base within a temperature range of from -20 °C to 120 °C but it is preferable to proceed the reaction within a temperature range of 10 to 60°C. The compound of formula(I), which the radical R⁶ is a hydrogen atom, has tautomeric structures as follows; The compound of formula (I) can be obtained in the form of a base or acid addition salt, if necessary. When a base is not added during the reaction, the product is obtained in the form of the salt, and when a base is added, it is obtained in the form of a free salt of isothiourea. When the acid is added to a free salt the product is obtained as the form of an acid addition salt thereof. The reaction of the invention is preferably proceeded in the solvent which does not severely affect the reaction. Here, as the solvent, there may be employed water, an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent such as hexane, cyclohexane, an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent such as benzene, toluene, xylene or chlorobenzene, a ketone solvent such as acetone, cyclohexanone, methylethyl ketone or methylisobutyl ketone, an ether solvent such as ethyl ether, isopropyl ether, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform, tetrachloromethane, dichloroethane or trichloroethylene, an aliphatic ester solvent such as ethyl acetate, an aliphatic amide solvent such as acetonitrile, nitromethane, nitropropane, dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide, an alcohol solvent such as ethanol, isopropanol or tert.-butanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide, etc. The above solvent may be used solely or in the combination with water and/or other organic solvents. However, the solvent is not restricted to such specific examples. As the base, there may be employed an inorganic base such as potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, aqueous ammonia, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium phosphate, sodium biphosphate, borax, calcium hydroxide or calcium oxide, etc., or an organic base such as triethylamine, pyridine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0,7]-undecene or triethylenediamine, etc. These bases can be used in the form of powder or solution. The molar ratio of the reactant to starting material in the reaction is 1:1 which is stoichiometric amount. However, an excess amount of anyone can be used, unless the reaction is affected. The amount of the base can be one equivalent molar ratio to the reactants and an excess amount of the base does not harm the reaction. The amount of the solvent is not restricted. That is to say, an excess amount thereof may be used, and also only a small amount enough to agitate the reactants may be used. After the completion of the reaction, the compound of formula(I) is extracted from the reaction mixture by treating the appropriate solvent, washing, drying, and distilling the solvent, or if necessary, the conventional recrystallization or purification can be employed. When the compound of formula (I) is required to be obtained in the form of the salt thereof, the product is subjected to treat with an appropriate acid. As an acid for preparing the salt thereof, there may be employed an inorganic acid or organic acid such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromide, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, perchloric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, trichloroacetic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, toluene sulfonic acid, etc. The typical compound of the formula (I) is shown in Table I. Most of the compounds of formula(II) can be easily prepared by the conventional methods and also some are published, for example, in the U. S. Patent No. 2,131,362, British Patent No. 1,339,116 and British Patent No.1,350,528. The compound of formula(III) also can be easily prepared by the conventional methods in the art.

The reaction can be proceeded in the presence of an afore-mentioned base. The final product, 1,3,5-thiadiazine-4-one derivatives can be separated and/or purified by the conventional methods, if necessary.
