Abstract
The reactions of α-diazocamphor (6) with aromatic thioketones (9a-d) in dichloromethane at room temperature afforded mixtures of the stereoisomeric spirocyclic thiiranes (10) and (11). A reaction mechanism via [2+3] cycloaddition to give the spirocyclic 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles (13) and (14), subsequent elimination of nitrogen and 1,3-dipolar electrocyclization of the intermediate thiocarbonyl ylide (15) is proposed. The structure of the stereoisomers (10a) and (11a) has been established by X-Ray crystallography. Desulfurization of the mixtures (10/11) with triphenylphosphane in boiling THF yielded the alkylidene derivatives (12).
