Abstract: | Irradiation of β-aminovinyl aryl thioketones ( 1a-b ) afforded β-aminovinyl aryl ketones ( 2a-b ). 2H-Thiopyran derivatives ( 4a-b ) were obtained when β-aminovinyl phenyl thioketone ( 1a ) was irradiated with methyl acrylate and acrylonitrile. 4H-Thiopyran derivatives ( 6,8 ) were also obtained thermally in the reaction of β-aminovinyl phenyl thioketone ( 1a ) and methyl propiolate and maleic anhydride. |
