Abstract

Reaction of lithiated methoxyallene, 1-ethoxyethoxyallene, 1-(methylthio) propyne and 2- butyne with methoxymethyl isothiocyanate, MeOCH2N C S followed by methylation affords the imidothioates H2C C C (R) C (SMe) NCH2OMe [R= Me, OMe, OCH (Me) OEt, SMe]. Rearrangement to the fully conjugated systems H2C CH C (R) C (SMe) N CHOMe and subsequent electrocyclisation of these compounds leads to the 5- ...
