Abstract

Study of the potential energy surface for the reaction of isothiocyanates with α-lithiated allenes showed that the formation of 1,3,4-azatriene occurs in one step through a four-center transition state. [1,5]-Sigmatropic rearrangements of 1,3,4-azatrienes and electrocyclizations of the resulting conjugated 1,3,5-azatriene systems lead to formation of dihydropyridine ring. Pyrrole structures are more likely to arise from protonation of 3-alkoxy-1,3,4-azatriene.
