Abstract:
The reaction of isothiocyanates with in situ generated carbanions of α,β‐unsaturated ketones yielded α,β‐unsaturated keto thioamides which in the reaction with acids or bases cyclized to give 2,6‐disubstituted thiopyran‐4‐ones and in the reaction with α‐bromoesters gave thiazolidin‐4‐one derivatives. The thiopyran‐4‐ones reacted with α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes to yield tetrahydrothiopyran[2,3‐b]pyridin‐4‐ones, while thioanilides were formed in the reaction with phenyl isothiocyanate.
