Abstract

The title betain was found to display both 1,3 and 1,5-dipolar reactivity, depending on reaction conditions. Whereas the reaction with aromatic isothiocyanates in nonpolar solvents produced cycloadducts in concerted manner stewise addition in dimethylformamide led to a single product, presumably with sevenmembered ring. An open-chain intermediate could be isolated and characterized.
