Synthesis and rearrangement of a bridged thioamide

Michal Szostak and Jeffrey Aubé


The synthesis of a bridged thiolactam is described. This thiolactam is shown to undergo an unusual C–N bond cleavage reaction under conditions of its synthesis. Spectroscopic properties of the thiolactam indicate a considerable degree of twist of the thioamide bond.
