• –Alder reactions are rarely reported. However, aryl and hetaryl thioketones are known to react as ‘superdienophiles’, thereby yielding the corresponding 3,6-dihydro-2H-thiopyrans [11][12][13][14]. Despite the fact that thiochalcones exist in solution as mixtures of dimers [15][16], they enter into
