Selectivity in the thermal and photochemical fragmentation of the cycloadduct from benzyne and a mesoionic thiazol-4-one
Abstract
During the preparation of benzo-condensed five-membered heterocycles by cycloaddition–extrusion reaction of benzyne with mesoionic compounds, a cycloadduct with a thiazol-4-one was isolated, which behaved differently on pyrolysis and photolysis.
