Abstract

A synthesis of 2-vinylazetidines 11a-c by means of ClSO2NCO addition to 1,3-dienes followed by A1H3 reduction is described. One example (11a) underwent Michael additions with several olefinic and acetylenic substrates. The 1,2-divinylazetidines obtained with the latter reagents underwent Cope rearrangements when heated and gave rise to tautomeric mixtures of 3,4,7,8- and 1,4,7,8-tetrahydroazocines (21 and 22).
