Abstract:  Synthesis, structure, and reactivity of ß-styryl isothiocyanate as a new type of heterodiene were studied. The prepared ß-styryl isothiocyanate was a mixture of cis and trans isomers, the structures of which were proved by spectral methods after their separation by preparative gas chromatography. Kinetics of the nucleophilic addition reaction with glycine as well as the results of spectral measurements pointed to the resemblance of ß-styryl isothiocyanate to aromatic isothiocyanates. On the basis of the calculated molecular diagram, the possible courses of cycloaddition reactions of ß-styryl isothiocyanate were discussed.
