Abstract

o-Thioquinones, generated in situ from o-hydroxyphenylthiophthalimides, underwent facile [4 + 1] cycloaddition reactions with isocyanides to afford 2-imino-1,3-oxathioles.

5

The ratio of the isomers was determined by the relative heights of the 13C signal of the carbon attached to the imino nitrogen.
