Abstract
2‐(1__H__‐Benzotriazol‐1‐ylmethyl)‐1‐naphthalenol (1) can be transformed in high yields to the corresponding thiol 4. Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 4 leads to 2__H__‐naphtho[1,2‐b]thiete (5). The benzotriazolyl group proved to be a good leaving group; however, a subsequent nitrogen extrusion takes place under flash vacuum pyrolysis conditions and cyclopentadienecarbonitriles 6a,b are formed by a ring contraction (Scheme 1). Cycloaddition reactions of 5 and dienophiles or heterodienophiles yield the naphtho‐condensed sulfur heterocycles 8, 10, 12 and 14 (Scheme 2).
