In this paper, we report a highly regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) reaction of nitrilimines with thioaurone derivatives that afforded the hitherto unreported spiropyrazolines. Spectroscopic and spectrometric data were utilized to confirm the structure of all products and elucidate the reaction’s regiochemistry. A mechanistic study was performed within the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) computational level to explain the regioselectivity observed. The electron localization function (ELF) topological analysis confirms the carbenoid-type (cb-type) mechanism of the cycloaddition reactions between nitrilimines and thioaurones. The intermolecular interactions between reagents in this reaction account for the regioselectivity observed experimentally.
