5,6-Dihydropyridine-2-thiones 2 are synthesized from 5,6-dihydropyridi
n-2-ones 1 and Lawesson reagent. Stereoselective Michael-like addition
of amines, methylhydrazine or functionalized thiols affords trans pip
eridine-2-thiones 5 with the corresponding heterosubstituent in positi
on 4 as major products. The configuration of the adducts 5 was determi
ned by nmr-techniques.
