Abstract
Abstract Thiols add to allenylnitriles to give unconjugated nitriles which may be isomerised to conjugated enesulphide nitriles either at high temperature (200°) or with base. Phenylpropynenitrile gives conjugated adducts directly. Heating the conjugated adducts from aminoethanethiols at > 200° results in 5-exotrig ring closure and elimination of acetonitrile to give thiazolines and benzothiazoles.
