In p-xylene at 150°, 3-phenyloxirane-2,2-dicarbonitrile (4b) and 2-phenyl-3-thia-1-azaspiro[4.4]non-1-ene-4-thione (1a) gave the three 1:1 adducts trans-3a, cis-3a, and 13a in 61, 21, and 3% yield, respectively (Scheme 3). The stereoisomers trans-3a and cis-3a are the products of a regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of carbonylylide 2b, generated thermally by an electrocyclic ring opening of 4b (Scheme 6), and the C=S group of 1a. Surprisingly, 13a proved not to be a regioisomeric cycloadduct of 1a and 2b, but an isomer formed via cleavage of the O-C(3) bond of the oxirane 4b. A reaction mechanism rationalizing the formation of 13a is proposed in Scheme 6. Analogous results were obtained from the reaction of 4b and 4,4-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thione (1b, Scheme 3). The thermolysis of 4b in p-xylene at 130° in the presence of adamantane-thione (10) led to two isomeric 1:1 adducts 15 and 16 in a ratio of ca. 2:1, however, in low yield (Scheme 4). Most likely the products are again formed via the two competing reaction mechanisms depicted in Scheme 6. The analogous reactions of 4b with 2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclobutane-1,3-thione (11) and 9H-xanthene-9-thione (12) yielded a single 1:1 adduct in each case (Scheme 5). In the former case, spirocyclic 1,3-oxathiolane 17, the product of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with 2a corresponding to 3a, was isolated in only 11% yield. It is remarkable that no 2:1 adduct was formed even in the presence of an excess of 4b. In contrast, 4b and 12 reacted smoothly to give 18 in 81% yield; no cycloadduct of the carbonyl-ylide 2a could be detected. The structures of cis-3a, 13a, 15, and 18, as well as the structure of 14, which is a derivative of trans-3a, have been established by X-ray crystallography (Figs. 1-3, Table).

Pyrenediones (PYDs) are efficient photocatalysts for three oxygenation reactions: Epoxidation of electron deficient olefins, oxidative hydroxylation of organoborons, and oxidation of sulfides via in situ generation of H2O2 under visible light irradiation, using oxygen as a terminal oxidant and IPA as a solvent and a hydrogen donor.

A convenient approach for the synthesis of β-cyanoepoxides is illustrated by iodine(III)-catalyzed epoxidation of electron-deficient β-cyanostyrenes, wherein the active catalytic iodine(III) species was generated in situ. The epoxidation of β-cyanostyrenes was performed using 10 molpercent PhI as precatalyst in the presence of 2.0 equivalents Oxone as an oxidant and 2.4 equivalents of TFA as an additive at room temperature under ultrasonic radiations. The β-cyanoepoxides were isolated in good to excellent yields in a short reaction time.
