For the case of 1-(allylsulfanyl)-2-methoxy-N-(1-methylethylidene)buta-1,3-dien-1-amine, obtained from α-lithiated methoxyallene, isopropyl isothiocyanate, and allyl bromide, it was shown that 5-ethylidene-2-(1-methoxyprop-2-enyl)-4,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazole and 6-methoxy-2-methyl-3H-azepine are formed competitively upon the action of the t-BuOK–THF–DMSO system.
