Cascade Reaction of Imines with Phenylsulfinylallene. X-Ray Structure of the Product and Its Formation Mechanism.

Abstract

The structure of the product derived from the reaction of a dihydropyridine derivative with phenylsulfinylallene has been clarified by a single crystal X-ray analysis and the formation mechanism is discussed on the basis of the reaction-path calculations by semiempirical and ab initio molecular orbital methods.
