“…Their syntheses have been reviewed in 2005 by summarizing only 34 references. [1] Nevertheless, the synthetic potential of this functional group has been demonstrated by the preparation of several heterocyclic ring systems from suitable substituted thioimidates; among these are triazoles, [2] chiral pyrrolidinones, [3] thiazoles, [4] pyrroles, [5] 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrroles, [6] pyrimidines, [7] dihydropyridines, [8] and 2-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-enes. [9] Furthermore, N,NЈ-unsymmetrically substituted 1,3-diketimines were prepared from thioimidates.…”
