Synthesis of Pyridothiazepines via a 1,5‐Dipolar Cycloaddition Reaction between Pyridinium 1,4‐Zwitterionic Thiolates and Activated Allenes.

The synthesis of pyridothiazepines has been achieved via a 1,5‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction between pyridinium 1,4‐zwitterionic thiolates and activated allenes conducted under thermal conditions. Meanwhile, a ring‐contraction reaction of the resulting pyridothiazepine derivatives via the extrusion of 3‐thioxoacrylates has also been described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
