29. The acid hydrolysis of a thiazolinium salt leading to N-methylcysteine has already been reported, but the yield was not given: K. Undheim, A. Aidem, Acta Chem. Scand. 1970, 24, 3129.
30. The use of only 1 equiv. of MsCl led to a mixture of compounds difficult to separate and characterize.

32. 2O was used instead of MsCl in the reaction with 3b. The conversion of the 2-[(trifluoromethyl- carbonyl)methylidene]thiazolidine into amino thiol 5b was still incomplete even after 3 d under acid hydrolysis conditions.
