Regioselective synthesis of substituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-thiines from alpha,beta-unsaturated oxathiolanes and styrene derivatives

Chem Commun (Camb). 2001 Nov 7:(21):2284-5. doi: 10.1039/b106882m.

Abstract

A one-step TiCl4-mediated regiospecific synthesis of thiine derivatives is effected in good yields by a tandem cyclisation-fragmentation reaction.
