Abstract
A Diels–Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and methyl cyanodithioformate afforded a 60:40 mixture of the isomers 2a and b. The n.m.r. studies of these compounds and the products of LiAlH4 reduction, 3a and b, established that the major isomer, 2a, was 3-exo-cyano-3-methylthio-2-thiabicyclo-[2.2.1]hept-5-ene, and that 3a was the corresponding 3-exo-aminomethyl compound.Keywords
