Abstract

We report the unexpected formation of a 1-Azadiene dimer from 4,6-diphenyl-3,6-dihydro- 2H-1,3-Thiazine-2-Thiones under prolonged microwave irradiation. In this manner, thiazine-2-Thiones act as "masked" 1-Azadiene equivalents, which makes them useful synthetic tools to access complex heterocyclic frameworks. We compare this dimerization with earlier approaches and elaborate on the observed diastereoselectivity.
