A novel samarium diiodide (SmI 2 ) promoted intramolecular cyclization of β‐ketoisothiocyanate, derived from α,β‐unsaturated esters and ammonium thiocyanate led to α‐hydroxythiolactams and/or thiolactams in high yields. Treatment of β‐ketoisothiocyanate with two equivalents of SmI 2 gave a mixture of α‐hydroxythiolactam and thiolactam. Four equivalents of SmI 2 afforded only thiolactam in high yields. The intramolecular cyclization took place with high to complete stereoselectivity. A mechanism to explain this transformation is proposed.
