Abstract
An intramolecular transition-metal-free base-mediated hydroamination of propargylamine with isothiocyanates enables an atom-economical, regioselective synthesis of diversely substituted imidazole-2-thiones and spiro-cyclic imidazolidine-2-thiones in good yields via intramolecular 5-exo-dig cycloisomerization.
