Abstract
The photooxygenation of 2-amino-3-cyano-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[b]thiopene1 was carried out in the presence of thiourea in order to reductively trap the intermediate; however, the rearranged compound 3-cyano-7-hydroxy-2-thio-2,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydroindole2 was isolated. The structure, determined by X-ray crystallography, is described, and the mechanism for the formation of2 is discussed.
