FeCl3 promoted highly regioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of dimethyl 2-vinyl and aryl cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylates with aryl isothiocyanates†
Abstract
A FeCl3 promoted [3 + 2] annulation of dimethyl 2-vinyl and arylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylate with aryl isothiocyanates has been developed to give pyrrolidine-2-thiones in good yields with high regioselectivity.
