Thermal Generation and Reactions of (Benzylthio)-and (Arylthio)-Substituted Nitrile YlidesThermolysis of 4-(benzylthio)- and 4-(arylthio)-1,3-oxazol-5(2H)-ones 6, at 110-155° in the presence of dipolarophiles with activated C≡C, C=C, C=O, C=S, and N=N bonds, led to 5-membered cyclo-adducts and CO2 (cf. Schemes 3, 5-7). Heating 6a and 6c in the presence of ethyl propiolate yielded ethyl quinoline-3-carboxylate (19) and ethyl pyridine-3-carboxylate(22), respectively (cf. Scheme 8). These results are rationalized on the basis of the intermediate formation of thio-substituted nitrile ylides of type 7 (cf. Scheme 2), which undergo regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with reactive dipolarophiles. In the absence of such a dipolarophile, the nitrile ylides isomerize via a [1,4]-H shift to give 2-aza-1,3-butadienes of type 20. The latter are trapped in a Diels-Alder reaction with ethyl propiolate (cf. Scheme 8).
