[4 + 6]π Cycloadditions of thiadiazole 1,1-dioxides to 6-dimethylaminofulvene: a synthesis of a diaza-azulene
Abstract
Treatment of 2,5-bis(alkylsulphinyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole 1,1-dioxides with 6-dimethylaminofulvene in acetone gave 5,6-diaza-azulenes in good yields; solvent effects support a concerted mechanism for the formation of the cycloadducts.
