Benzo-condensed 1,3-oxathiin-2-ones 4, 8, 11, 14 were prepared according to the reaction sequences shown in the Schemes 1 and 3. Due to the facile thermal extrusion of CO2 these compounds proved to be very useful synthetic thiete equivalents for the preparation of heterocyclic ring systems containing sulfur. Some examples of hetero Diels-Alder reactions are compiled in the Schemes 2 and 4.
