Ruthenium-Catalyzed Cycloaddition of 1,6-Diynes with Isothiocyanates and Carbon Disulfide: First Transition-Metal Catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] Cocyclotrimerization Involving CS Double Bond

Abstract
In the presence of 10 mol % Cp*Ru(cod)Cl, 1,6-diynes with a tertiary center at 4-position reacted with various isothiocyanates at their CS double bond to afford bicyclic (2H)-thiopyranimines in 35−88% yields. The (2H)-thiopyran structure was unequivocally determined by X-ray analysis. The cycloaddition of carbon disulfide with a diyne similarly gave the expected bicyclic dithiopyrone in 50% yield.
