Thermal and photochemical rearrangements of 3H-thieno-1,2-diazepines
Abstract
Photolysis of the 3H-thieno-1,2-diazepines (1) affords the 3-vinylthienopyrazoles (2), whereas their thermolysis gives the thienylpyrazoles (3)via a [1,5] hydrogen shift in the diazepine ring; this mechanism has been confirmed by a deuterium-labelling experiment.
