A Rh-catalyzed 1,2-sulfur migration/aza-Diels-Alder cascade initiated by aza-vinyl carbenoids from sulfur-tethered N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles

Abstract

A novel Rh(ii) catalyzed intramolecular 1,2-sulfur rearrangement/intermolecular aza-Diels-Alder cascade initiated by azavinyl carbenes has been developed, efficiently affording sulfur-containing tetrahydropyridine derivatives or α,β-unsaturated imines with a broad substrate scope.
