Diels-Alder Addition of 1,1'-Thiocarbonylbis(1,2,4-triazole) to Dienes. A Useful Preparation of Bicyclic Sulfides and Related Derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo01306a034

1,1'-Thiocarbonylbis(1,2,4-triazole) adds in a Diels-Alder fashion to a variety of dienes to give high yields of bicyclic sulfides.Alcoholysis of some of these derivatives provided cis-3,5-fused mercapto esters.
