Cycloaddition reaction of ynamines with aryl isothiocyanates afforded N-aryl-2H-thietimines in moderate yields (44-80%). The yields were greatly affected depending upon the stability of ynamines. X-ray crystallography was used to determine the representative thietimine structure of 1-(4-diethylamino-2-p-bromophenylimino-2H-3-thietyl)-1-ethanone unambiguously.
