 [ 1 Apr. 8, 1975 Primary E.\&#39;aminerDonald G. Daus Assistant Examiner-Raymond V. Rush Attorney, Agent, or Firnw-Young &amp; Thompson [57] ABSTRACT Said derivatives are those of the general formula:  
  1 s N R Y I a N in which R,, R R and R are each hydrogen. an alkyl group or an aryl group, one at least of said symbols being other than hydrogen, or R and R form together a group (CH n being equal to 3. 4 or 5, and their acid addition salts. They are therapeutically useful. in particular as analgesic drugs.  
 7 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures THIAZOLINO-PYRIMIDIN-S-ONE DERIVATIVES, PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF This invention relates to a series of new chemical compounds endowed with therapeutic. particularly analgesic. properties.  
  These compounds (I) are those of the general formula illustrated in FIG. I of the accompanying drawing. in which R,. R R and R, are each hydrogen. an alkyl group or an aryl group. one at least of said symbols heing other than hydrogen. or else R and R form together a (CH- group. n being equal to 3. -l or 5. and their acid addition salts. particularly with pharmaceutically acceptable acids.  
  Thus. compounds (I) are 2- and/or B-substituted thiazolino-pyrimidin-S-ones. It should be noted that such substitutions may produce stereoisomers and the invention includes within its scope hoth the racemic forms and the optically active forms.  
  The alkyl and aryl groups that may he represented by symbols R, to R, are preferably lower alkyl and monocyclic aryl groups. respectively.  
  To prepare compounds (l). a process illustrated in H0. 2 of the accompanying drawing may he used.  
  This process comprises condensing a Z-iminothiazolidine (ll) in which R,. R R and R, have the above-defined meanings. with an alkyl alkoxymethylene malonate (Ill). in which R is a lower alkyl group. particularly an ethyl group. then hydrolyzing resulting ester (1V). decarboxylating acid (V) and then. if desired. salifying resulting compound (l).  
  lmino-thiazolidine (ll) may be used in free or salt form. In the latter case. the imine is released in situ by means of an alkaline compound. The condensation be tween imino-thiazolidine (II) and alkyl alkoxymethylene-malonate (III) is advantageously conducted within an organic solvent such as ethanol. Hydrolysis of ester (IV) is carried out in conventional manner. such as by refluxing in formic acid in the presence of methane-sulfonie acid. Decarhoxylation ofacid (Y) is also conducted in a known manner. such as by heating in the presence of copper oxide.  
  Intermediate compounds (IV) and (V) are themselves new compounds.  
  The following non-limiting examples illustrate the in vention.
