✦ Synopsis


Chiral pyrroloisothiochroman and pyrrolo[d]

thiepine were obtained efficiently in four steps from N-alkylated maleimides via, successively, sulfurization, regioselective reduction followed by p-cationic cyclization of the N-acyliminium ion intermediates. These latter, in addition, led to conjugate enamides as a consequence of the dehydration reaction.
