Lewis-Acid-Catalyzed (3+2)-Cycloadditions of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes with Thioketenes.

ABSTRACT: The reactivity of donor-acceptor (D-A) cyclopropanes towards thioketenes was investigated. In a (3+2)-cycloaddition using Sc(OTf)₃ as a Lewis acidic catalyst, the corresponding exocyclic thioenol ethers (2-methylidene tetrahydrothiophenes) were formed in moderate to good yields. Unsymmetrical thioketenes provided E/Z mixtures at the double bond, with the Z isomer being preferred.
