Thiochalcones undergo cycloaddition reactions in THF solution at 60 °C with the synthetically unexplored 1-phenyl-4H-phosphinin-4-one 1-oxide in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner, yielding hitherto unknown bicyclic P,S-heterocycles containing fused thiopyran and phosphinine rings. The stereochemical structures of two of the obtained (4+2)-cycloadducts were unambiguously assigned by means of the X-ray single-crystal analysis. Based on these assignments, a concerted mechanism of the hetero-Diels–Alder reaction via the preferred endo approach of the heterodiene from the less hindered P=O side of the phosphininone molecule is postulated to explain the established rac-(4RS,8SR,9SR,10SR)-configured (4+2)-cycloadducts isolated as major products.
