Thermal reactions of 1,2,3‐trisubstituted aziridines 1 with 1,3‐thiazole‐5(4 H )‐thiones 6 in toluene yielded, in general, a mixture of two diastereoisomeric spirocyclic [2+3] cycloadducts. The formation of these products can be explained by a stereoselective electrocyclic ring opening of 1 to give an azomethine ylide 2 as the reactive intermediate, which is trapped immediately by 6 via a stereoselective 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition. Only in the case of trans ‐dimethyl 1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)aziridine‐2,3‐dicarboxylate ( trans ‐ 1a ), four diastereoisomeric cycloadducts were formed ( Scheme 4 ). This result is rationalized by an isomerization of the intermediate azomethine ylide cis ‐ 2a to trans ‐ 2a .
