TL;DR: In this paper, 1,3-Butadienyl thiocyanates are used as dienes for Diels-Alder reactions followed by a [3,3]-sigmatropic shift to obtain an isomeric isothiocynate.
Abstract: 1,3-Butadienyl Thiocyanates in the Diels-Alder Reaction Followed by a [3,3]-Sigmatropic Shift (E)- and (Z)-1,3-Butadienyl thiocyanates 3, 4, and 12–15 have been synthesized selectively. Their use as dienes for Diels-Alder reactions followed by a [3,3]-sigmatropic shift to obtain an isomeric isothiocyanate has been studied. The butadienyl thiocyanates are, unfortunately, not very reactive in Diels-Alder reactions. This disadvantage can be overcome, if a trapping reaction with EtOH is added to the two-step sequence. This sequence allows to get good yields of the O-ethyl thiocarbamates 18–23, even if the first two reactions have not favorable equilibrium constants.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of allenes, which bear a functional group with at least two heteroatoms, by sigmropic rearrangements of appropriate propargyl precursors is summarized.
Abstract: The present article summarizes the synthesis of allenes, which bear a functional group with at least two heteroatoms, by [2,3] or [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangements of appropriate propargyl precursors. Recently, this method has been extended to prepare new types of functionalized allenes such as isocyanates, isothiocyanates, isoselenocyanates, azides, thiocarbonates, and azo compounds. The title compounds are very reactive as shown by rapid intra- and intermolecular consecutive reactions. This reactivity can be used to synthesize heterocycles and doubly functionalized 1,3-butadienes.

TL;DR: A pericyclic approach for the synthesis of six-membered ring structures that offers novel stereocontrolled access to cyclohexenes that are inaccessible via a direct [4 + 2] cycloaddition route.
Abstract: A pericyclic approach for the synthesis of six-membered ring structures is described. The method employs 1,3-dienes with a 1-sulfur substituent in a tandem sequence of Diels–Alder and retro-ene reactions. In this pairing of [4 + 2] cycloaddition and 1,5-sigmatropic rearrangement, 1-sulfenyl-1,3-dienes engage in Diels–Alder reactions with electron-deficient dienophiles. Subsequently, the sulfenyl group of the cycloadducts is oxidized and unmasked to form allylic sulfinic acids, which undergo sterospecific reductive transposition via sulfur dioxide extrusion. The sequence can also include an inverse electron demand Diels–Alder reaction by using a 1-sulfonyl-1,3-diene. This combination of two pericyclic events offers novel stereocontrolled access to cyclohexenes that are inaccessible via a direct [4 + 2] cycloaddition route.

TL;DR: A highly efficient asymmetric Diels-Alder/[3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement reaction of methyleneindolinones with 1-thiocyanatobutadienes has been realized by using a chiral N,N'-dioxide/nickel(II) complex as the catalyst.
Abstract: A highly efficient asymmetric Diels-Alder/[3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement reaction of methyleneindolinones with 1-thiocyanatobutadienes has been realized by using a chiral N,N'-dioxide/nickel(II) complex as the catalyst. A range of cyclohexenyl isothiocyanates were synthesized in high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Based on mechanistic studies, a catalytic cycle with possible transition-state models were proposed to explain the process.

TL;DR: Two novel series of 2-substituted estradiol derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated for uterotrophic and antiimplantation activities, finding that nuclear substitution at the C-2 position of the steroid nucleus is markedly inhibitory for estrogenic activity.
