G. Labbe et al., SYNTHESIS OF THIAZOLO[4,3-A]ISOINDOLES BY INTRAMOLECULAR CYCLOADDITION-ELIMINATION REACTIONS OF -(SUBSTITUTED)IMINO-DELTA-2-1,2,3,4-THIATRIZOLINES, Tetrahedron, 49(20), 1993, pp. 4439-4446
Fused thiazolidine 11 and thiazoline derivatives 19a-c are obtained by
intramolecular cycloaddition-elimination reactions of appropriately s
ubstituted 5-iminothiatriazolines 10 and 18a-c. The incorporation of a
sidechain phenyl group excercises a favorable effect on cyclization s
ince no reaction is observed with 25. Comparable intermolecular reacti
ons also fail to occur.
