Regioselective 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloadditions of a ‘Thiocarbonyl‐methanide’ ((Alkylidenesulfonio)methanide) with Aromatic Sulfines Reaction of the spirocyclic 2,5‐dihydro‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole 7 and thiobenzophenone S ‐oxide ( 6a ) in THF at 45° yielded the spirocyclic 1,3‐dithiolane 1‐oxide 8 , thiirane 9 , and the diazane derivative 10 in a ratio of 61:15:23 ( Scheme 2 ). The formation of 8 is rationalized by a 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of ‘thiocarbonyl‐methanide’ 1 , generated from 7 by thermal elimination of N 2 , and the CS bond of sulfine 6a . Cyclization of intermediate 1 leads to thiirane 9 . Under the same conditions, 7 and adamantane‐2‐thione S ‐oxide ( 6b ) or 2,2,4,4‐tetramethyl‐3‐thioxocyclobutanone S ‐oxide ( 4 ) reacted to give only 9 and 10 but no cycloadduct of type 8 ( Scheme 4 ). With the aim to favor the formation of 8 , a mixture of 6a and 1.1 equiv. of 7 was heated to 45° without any solvent in a sealed tube. The ratio of products was only slightly different from that of the thermolysis in THF. An analogous experiment with 7 and 9 H ‐fluorene‐9‐thione S ‐oxide ( 6c ) yielded cycloadduct 13 and 9 ( Scheme 5 ). It is most interesting that the 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions of 1 and the sulfines 6a and 6c proceeded with different regioselectivity. A reaction mechanism for the unexpected formation of 10 is proposed in Scheme 7 . The key step is the base‐catalyzed ring opening of 7 and the nucleophilic addition of the thereby formed thiolate 21 onto the sulfonium ion 19 .
