Thiocarbamoyl isothiocyanates 4+2 cycloaddition reactions

Cycloaddition Reactions. In [2+2] cycloaddition reactions with car-bodiimides sometimes [2+4] cycloadducts are produced as coproducts. Examples include the reaction of phenylcarbonyl isocyanate, phenylcarbonyl isothiocyanate and thiocarbamoyl isothiocyanate with carbodiimides to give [2+4] cycloadducts, discussed in Section 5.3.1. In the current section, mainly [2+4] cycloaddition of carbodiimides as dienophile with dienes derived from oxoketenes, generated in situ or masked oxoketenes, especially 2,3-diones investigated by Kollenz and his coworkers are discussed. 

A miscellany of papers dealing with the potency of the thioureido neighbouring group in nucleophilic substitution processes, the complexing ability of thioureas towards macrocyclic polyethers, and the cycloaddition reactions of thiocarbamoyl isothiocyanates (190) with ketens, ketenimines, imines, isocyanates, carbodi-imides, and isonitriles also deserve attention. 

Imidoyl -, thiocarbamoyl - and ethylmercaptothiocarbonyl isothiocyanatesalso afford dimers formed in a [4-1-2]] cycloaddition reaction. Carbamoyl isothiocyanates are in equilibrium with thiocarbamoyl isocyanates therefore on standing mixed dimers 3 of the... 

The dimerization of carbonyl-, thiocarbonyl-, imidoyl- and thiocarbamoyl isothiocyanates proceeds in a [4-1-2] cycloaddition reaction (see Section 3.3.2.2). Carbonyl isothiocyanates also readily undergo [4-1-2] cycloaddition reactions with aliphatic and aromatic azomethines, the former being considerably more reactive. For example, phenylcar-bonyl isothiocyanate reacts with benzylidenemethylamine 184 to give a [4-1-2] cycloadduct 185... 

Cycloadditions The [4+2] cycloaddition reactions of carbodiimides with phenyl-carbonyl isocyanate, phenylcarbonyl isothiocyanate and thiocarbamoyl isothiocyanate have been discussed above. In the dimerization reactions the functional carbodiimides react as both the diene and the dienophile. Unsaturated carbodiimides, generated in situ, can be trapped with N=N bond- or C=N bond-containing substrates.
