We report a reliable and regiocontrolled alternative route to unsubstituted 2-aminothiopyrans
and 2-aminothiophenes. These sulfur heterocycles were prepared by reaction of protected
aminothiabutadiene 1 with acrylic dienophiles or acceptor-substituted halomethyl compounds. All compounds
were fully characterized by IR, HRMS, and 13C and 1H NMR spectroscopy.
