27. t-Butyl-substituted thiocarbamate 1g in solution was gradually converted to the allenyl isomer 3g even at room temperature. Thermal isomerization of O-propargyl thiocarbamates and propargyl dithiocarbonates to allenyl compounds has been reported. See:. Banert K., Fendel W., and Schlott J. Angew. Chem., Int.

29. Although the precise mechanism for the formation of 8a is unclear at present, the electrophilic substitution of pyrrole with allyl cationic species B (Scheme 1) is the likely reaction mechanism.
