Abstract

Rapid access to pharmaceutically important scaffolds, including salicylamides, dihydronicotinamides and dihydrothio/dihydroselenopyran­-3-carboxamides, are described. The [5+1]-annulation­ reactions of α-alkenoyl-α-carbamoylketene dithioacetals with carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and selenium nucleophiles give the title­ compounds in high yields under mild conditions.
