Abstract
Various 1,3-dienes when treated with a solution of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate and ammonium thiocyanate in acetonitrile afforded the isothiocyanatothiocyanates via a [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement. Electron rich dienes afforded the γ-thiocyanato-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds under similar experimental conditions.
