Conformational flexibility of 4,4-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiasiline and its monoheterocyclic analogs

Conformational behavior of the first cyclic organosilicon vinylsulfide, 4,4-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiasiline as well as its monoheterocyclic analogs, 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran, 3,4-dihydro-2H-thiopyran, and 1,1-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrosiline is studied in comparison with the carbocyclic analog, cyclohexene, using the methods of low-temperature NMR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations at the DFT and MP2 levels of theory. The barrier to the ring inversion with respect to that in cycloxene is increased in 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran and 1,1-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrosiline, but, in contrast to the suggestions made in the literature, is decreased in 3,4-dihydro-2H-thiopyran. In 4,4-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiasiline the barrier is intermediate between those in the corresponding monoheterocycles, 1,1-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrosiline and 3,4-dihydro-2H-thiopyran. The observed variations are rationalized from the viewpoint of the interaction of the π-electrons of the C=C double bond with the orbitals of heteroatoms in the ring. The structure of the transition state for the ring inversion is discussed.

The structure of 7-methyl-2,5-diphenyl-2,3,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinolin-1-one was proved by X-ray analysis.

3-Alkynylquinoxaline-2-carbonitriles have been synthesized from 3-chloroquinoxaline-2-carbonitrile via the Sonogashira reaction. Treatment of 3-alkynylquinoxaline-2-carbonitriles with an alkylamine or ammonia has been shown to produce stable enamines, e.g., (Z)-3-(2-aryl-2-aminovinyl)quinoxaline-2-carbonitriles. Their base-induced cyclization gave the previously unknown pyrido[3,4-b]quinoxalin-1(2H)-imines or pyrido[3,4-b]quinoxalin-1-amines. 3-Alkynylquinoxaline-2-carbonitriles were directly transformed into pyrido[3,4-b]quinoxalin-1(2H)-imines by heating with an alkylamine and K₂CO₃ in DMF.

The five-component reaction of ethyl 2-[(2-oxopropyl)sulfanyl]acetate, aromatic aldehydes, and ammonium acetate affords two diastereomers of 5,7-diaryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]thiazin-2(3H)-ones via a novel tandem Mannich-enamine-substitution sequence. Presumably, they are generated from ethyl 2-[(4-oxo-2,6-diaryl-3-piperidinyl)sulfanyl]acetates. During the formation of the trans-5,7-diaryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]-thiazin-2(3H)-ones from ethyl 2-[(4-oxo-2,6-diaryl-3-piperidinyl)sulfanyl]acetates, the configuration at the carbon bearing an aryl group adjacent to the enamide CC double bond is inverted via ring opening and closure. When o-substituted benzaldehydes were employed in this reaction, 5,7-diaryl-5,6-dihydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]thiazin-2(3H)-ones were obtained via air oxidation, along with trans-5,7-diaryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]-thiazin-2(3H)-ones.
