Reaction between diethyl bromomalonate and 3-phenylpyrrolidine-2-thione yielded a vinylogous urethane by the Eschenmoser sulfide contraction. However, with 3-substituted piperidine-2-thiones, sulfur was retained in the products, and a range of bicyclic heterocycles, including bicyclic ketene S,N-acetals (2-alkylidene-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones) and stable thioisomuechnones, was isolated. A novel dimeric ketene S,N-acetal was characterised by X-ray crystallography.
