Abstract
The in situ generated nitrilimines are trapped efficiently with heteroaryl thioketones bearing thiophen-2-yl or selenophen-2-yl substituents. The exclusive products observed in these reactions are 2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles formed via regioselective [3+2]-cycloaddition. Competitive head-to-tail dimerization of the intermediate 1,3-dipoles was not observed in any of the studied reactions.
