Umsetzung von Di(tert-butyl)- und Diphenyldiazomethan mit 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thionen: Isolierung und Kristallstruktur des primären Cycloadduktes

Reaction of Di(tert-butyl)- and Diphenyldiazomethane and 1,3-Thiazole-5(4H)-thiones: Isolation and Crystal Structure of the Primary Cycloadduct Reactions of diazo compounds with C?S bonds proceed via the formation of thiocarbonyl ylides, which, under the reaction conditions, undergo either 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions or electrocyclic ring closer to thiiranes (Scheme 1). With the sterically hindered di(tert-butyl)diazomethane ( 2c ), 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 1 react to give spirocyclic 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 3 (Scheme 2). These adducts are stable in solution at ?20°, and they could be isolated in crystalline form. The structure of 3c was established by X-ray crystallography. In CDCl₃ solution at room temperature, a cycloreversion occurs, and the adducts of type 3 are in an equilibrium with 1 and 2c . In contrast, the reaction of 1 with diphenyldiazomethane ( 2d ) gave spirocyclic thiiranes 4 as the only product in high yield (Scheme 3). The crystal structure of 4b was also determined by X-ray analysis. The desulfurization of compounds 4 to 4,5-dihydro-5-(diphenylmethylidene)-1,3-thiazoles 5 was achieved by treating 4 with triphenylphosphine in boiling THF. The crystal structure of 5f is shown.     

Synthese von 4,4-disubstituierten 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thionen

Synthesis of 4,4-Disubstituted 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thiones An easy synthesis for the 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-thiones 5 , a class of heterocycles which have hitherto only been available with difficulty, is described. Reaction of 3-amino-2H-azirines 25 with thiocarboxylic acids at 0° yields monothiodiamides of type 20 (Scheme 6) which, on treatment with Lawesson reagent at 100°, undergo thiation and cyclization to give 5 in good yield.     

Carbenoid Reactions of Dimethyl Diazomalonate with Aromatic Thioketones and 1,3-Thiazole-5(4H)-thiones

Dimethyl diazomalonate ( 4 ) and thiobenzophenone ( 2a ) do not react in toluene even after warming to 50°. After addition of catalytic amounts of Rh₂(OAc)₄, a smooth reaction under N₂ evolution afforded a mixture of thiiranedicarboxylate 5 and (diphenylmethylidene)malonate 6 (Scheme 2). A reaction mechanism via an intermediate ‘thiocarbonyl ylide’ 7 , formed by the addition of the carbenoid species 8 to the S-atom of 2a , is plausible. Similar reactions were carried out with 9H-xanthene-9-thione ( 2b ), 9H-thioxanthene-9-thione ( 2c , Scheme 4), and 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thione 18 (Scheme 6). In the cases of 2b and 2c , spirocyclic 1,3-dithiolanetetracarboxylates 14a and 14b , respectively, were obtained as the third product. Reaction mechanisms for their formation are proposed in Scheme 5: S-transfer from intermediate thiirane 12 to the carbenoid species yielded thioxomalonate 15 which underwent a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with ‘thiocarbonyl ylide’ 16 . An alternative is the formation of ‘thiocarbonyl ylide’ 17 via carbene addition to 15 , followed by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with 2b and 2c , respectively.     

Carbophile Additionen von Organocupraten mit 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thionen

Carbophilic Additions of Organocuprates and 1,3-Thiazole-5(4H)-thiones Organocuprates and 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 1 react in THF at 0° via carbophilic addition onto the C? S bond to give 4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazole-5-thiols 3 (Scheme 3). This observation is in marked contrast to the previously described reaction of organolithium compounds and 1 , which undergo a thiophilic addition onto the exocyclic S-atom. As an exception, treatment of the 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thione 1a with tert-butyl cuprate leads to 7a (Scheme 3).     

1,3-Oxathiole and Thiirane Derivatives from the Reactions of Azibenzil and α-diazo amides with thiocarbonyl compounds

The reactions of α-diazo ketones 1a,b with 9H-fluorene-9-thione ( 2f ) in THF at room temperature yielded the symmetrical 1,3-dithiolanes 7a,b , whereas 1b and 2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclobutane-1,3-dithione ( 2d ) in THF at 60° led to a mixture of two stereoisomeric 1,3-oxathiole derivatives cis- and trans- 9a (Scheme 2). With 2-diazo-1,2-diphenylethanone ( 1c ), thio ketones 2a–d as well as 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thione 2g reacted to give 1,3-oxathiole derivatives exclusively (Schemes 3 and 4). As the reactions with 1c were more sluggish than those with 1a,b , they were catalyzed either by the addition of LiClO₄ or by Rh₂(OAc)₄. In the case of 2d in THF/LiClO₄ at room temperature, a mixture of the monoadduct 4d and the stereoisomeric bis-adducts cis- and trans- 9b was formed. Monoadduct 4d could be transformed to cis- and trans- 9b by treatment with 1c in the presence of Rh₂(OAc)₄ (Scheme 4). Xanthione ( 2e ) and 1c in THF at room temperature reacted only when catalyzed with Rh₂(OAc)₄, and, in contrast to the previous reactions, the benzoyl-substituted thiirane derivative 5a was the sole product (Scheme 4). Both types of reaction were observed with α-diazo amides 1d,e (Schemes 5–7). It is worth mentioning that formation of 1,3-oxathiole or thiirane is not only dependent on the type of the carbonyl compound 2 but also on the α-diazo amide. In the case of 1d and thioxocyclobutanone 2c in THF at room temperature, the primary cycloadduct 12 was the main product. Heating the mixture to 60°, 1,3-oxathiole 10d as well as the spirocyclic thiirane-carboxamide 11b were formed. Thiirane-carboxamides 11d–g were desulfurized with (Me₂N)₃P in THF at 60°, yielding the corresponding acrylamide derivatives (Scheme 7). All reactions are rationalized by a mechanism via initial formation of acyl-substituted thiocarbonyl ylides which undergo either a 1,5-dipolar electrocyclization to give 1,3-oxathiole derivatives or a 1,3-dipolar electrocyclization to yield thiiranes. Only in the case of the most reactive 9H-fluorene-9-thione ( 2f ) is the thiocarbonyl ylide trapped by a second molecule of 2f to give 1,3-dithiolane derivatives by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition.     

Hetero-Diels-Alder-Reaktion mit 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thionen

Hetro-Diels-Alder Reaction with 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thiones On heating in toluene to 180° and on treatment with BF₃·Et₂O in CH₂Cl₂ room temperature, 1,3-dienes react with the C?S group of 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-thiones 1 in a reversible Diels-Alder reaction to give spiro[4.5]-heterocycles of type 6. A 1:1 mixture of two regioisomeric cycloadducts is formed in the thermal reaction with 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene (isoprene, 5b ). In contrast, the formation of one regioisomer is strongly preferred in the BF₃-catalyzed reaction. Frontier-orbital control as well as steric factors seem to be responsible for the observed regioselectivity. BF₃-Catalyzed, cyclic 1,3-dienes and 1 also undergo a smooth Diels-Alder reaction. Whereas cyclohexa-1,3-diene ( 5c ) reacts with 1a and 1b to give a single isomer (presumably the ‘exo’-adduct), cyclopenta-1,3-diene ( 5d ) leads to a ca. 3:1 mixture of ‘exo’-and ‘endo’-isomer.     

Umsetzung von Diazoessigsäure-ethylester mit 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thionen

Reaction of Ethyl Diazoacetate with 1,3-Thiazole-5(4H)-thiones Reaction of ethyl diazoacetate ( 2a ) and 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 1a,b in Et₂O at room temperature leads to a complex mixture of the products 5–9 (Scheme 2). Without solvent, 1a and 2a react to give 10a in addition to 5a–9a . In Et₂O in the presence of aniline, reaction of 1a,b with 2a affords the ethyl 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-carboxylate 10a and 10b , respectively, as major products. The structures of the unexpected products 6a, 7a , and 10a have been established by X-ray crystallography. Ethyl 4H-1,3-thiazine-carboxylate 8b was transformed into ethyl 7H-thieno[2,3-e][1,3]thiazine-carboxylate 11 (Scheme 3) by treatment with aqueous NaOH or during chromatography. The structure of the latter has also been established by X-ray crystallography. In the presence of thiols and alcohols, the reaction of 1a and 2a yields mainly adducts of type 12 (Scheme 4), compounds 5a,7a , and 9a being by-products (Table 1). Reaction mechanisms for the formation of the isolated products are delineated in Schemes 4–7: the primary cycloadduct 3 of the diazo compound and the C?S bond of 1 undergoes a base-catalyzed ring opening of the 1,3-thiazole-ring to give 10 . In the absence of a base, elimination of N₂ yields the thiocarbonyl ylide A ′, which is trapped by nucleophiles to give 12 . Trapping of A ′, by H₂O yields 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-one 9 and ethyl mercaptoacetate, which is also a trapping agent for A ′, yielding the diester 7 . The formation of products 6 and 8 can be explained again via trapping of thiocarbonyl ylide A ′, either by thiirane C (Scheme 6) or by 2a (Scheme 7). The latter adduct F yields 8 via a Demjanoff-Tiffeneau-type ring expansion of a 1,3-thiazole to give the 1,3-thiazine.     

Synthese von Trifluoromethyl-substituierten Schwefel-Heterocyclen unter Verwendung von 3,3,3-Trifluorobrenztraubensäure-Derivaten

Synthesis of Trifluoromethyl-Substituted Sulfur Heterocycles Using 3,3,3-Trifluoropyruvic-Acid Derivatives The reaction of methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropyruvate ( 1 ) with 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 4a, b in benzene at 45° yielded the corresponding methyl 5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-oxathiolane-5-carboxylates 5a, b (Scheme 1) via a regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an intermediate ‘thiocarbonyl ylide’ of type 3 . With methyl pyruvate, 4a reacted similarly to give 6 in good yield. Methyl 2-diazo-3,3,3-trifluoropropanoate ( 2 ) and thiobenzophenone ( 7a ) in toluene underwent a reaction at 50°; the only product detected in the reaction mixture was thiirane 8a (Scheme 2). With the less reactive thiocarbonyl compounds 9H-xanthene-9-thione ( 7b ) and 9H-thioxanthene-9-thione ( 7c ) as well as with 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thione 12 , diazo compound 2 reacted only in the presence of catalytic amounts of Rh₂(OAc)₄. In the cases of 7a and 7b , thiiranes 8b and 8c , respectively, were the sole products (Scheme 3). The crystal struture of 8c has been established by X-ray crystallography (Fig.). In the reaction with 12 , desulfurization of the primarily formed thiirane 14 gave the methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-5-ylidene)propanoates (E)-and (Z)- 15 (Scheme 4). A mechanism of the Rh-catalyzed reaction via a carbene addition to the thiocarbonyl S-atom is proposed in Scheme 5.     

1,4-Dithiafulvene aus der Umsetzung von 4,4-disubstituierten 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thionen mit Acetylenderivaten

1,4-Dithiafulvenes, Products of the Reaction of 4,4-Disubstituted 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thiones and Acetylenic Compounds On heating in toluene, 4,4-disubstituted 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-thiones 1 and acetylenecarboxylates or acetylenecarbonitriles 2 undergo a cyclosubstitution reaction to yield 2-methylidene-1,3-dithiol derivatives 3 (1,4-dithiafulvenes) and a nitrile. Further heating of 3a and 3b in the presence of excess 2a leads to the isomeric 2,3-dihydrothiophene-2-thiones 4a and 4b , respectively. The benzodithiafulvene 14 has been formed in a similar reaction from 1a and in situ generate benzyne.     

Reaktion von Phenyldiazomethan mit 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thionen: Basenkatalysierte Ring-Öffnung des Primäradduktes

Reaction of Phenyldiazomethane with 1,3-Thiazole-5(4H)-thiones: Base-Catalyzed Ring Opening of the Primary Adduct Reaction of 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 1 and phenyldiazomethane ( 2a ) in toluene at room temperature yields the thiiranes trans- and cis-1,4-dithia-6-azaspiro[2.4]hept-5-enes (trans- and cis- 4 ; Scheme 2). With Ph₃P in THF at 70°, these thiiranes are transformed stereospecifically into (E)- and (Z)-5-benzylidene-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazoles 5 , respectively. In the presence of DBU, 1 and 2a react to give 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives 6 or 7 via base-catalyzed ring opening of the primary cycloadduct (Scheme 3). In the case of 2-(alkylthio)-substituted 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 1c and 1d , this ring opening proceeds by elimination of the corresponding alkylthiolate, yielding isothiocyanate 7 . The structures of (Z)- 5c and 6b have been established by X-ray crystallography.     

Diazo-Transfer Reaction with Diphenyl Phosphorazidate

Diphenyl phosphorazidate (DPPA) was used as the azide source in a one-pot synthesis of 2,2-disubstituted 3-amino-2H-azirines 1 (Scheme 1). The reaction with lithium enolates of amides of type 2 , bearing two substituents at C(2), proceeded smoothly in THF at 0°; keteniminium azides C and azidoenamines D are likely intermediates. Under analogous reaction conditions, DPPA and amides of type 3 with only one substituent at C(2) gave 2-diazoamides 5 in fair-to-good yield (Scheme 2). The corresponding 2-diazo derivatives 6–8 were formed in low yield by treatment of the lithium enolates of N,N-dimethyl-2-phenylacetamide, methyl 2-phenylacetate, and benzyl phenyl ketone, respectively, with DPPA. Thermolysis of 2-diazo-N-methyl-N-phenylcarboxamides 5a and 5b yielded 3-substituted 1,3-dihydro-N-methyl-2H-indol-2-ones 9a and 9b , respectively (Scheme 3). The diazo compounds 5–8 reacted with 1,3-thiazole-5 (4H)-thiones 10 and thiobenzophenone ( 13 ) to give 6-oxa-1,9-dithia-3-azaspiro[4.4]nona-2,7-dienes 11 (Scheme 4) and thiirane-2-carboxylic acid derivatives 14 (Scheme 5), respectively. In analogy to previously described reactions, a mechanism via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, leading to 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, and elimination of N₂ to give the ‘thiocarbonyl ylides’ of type H or K is proposed. These dipolar intermediates with a conjugated C?O group then undergo either a 1,5-dipolar electrocyclization to give spirohetrocycles 11 or a 1,3-dipolar electrocyclization to thiiranes 14 .     

Reaction of 1,3-Thiazole-5(4H)-thiones with 1,2-Epoxycycloalkanes: Formation of Spirocyclic 1,3-Oxathiolanes

Treatment of solutions of 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 1 in CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature with BF₃⋅Et₂O and 1,2-epoxycyclohexane (7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane; 2a ) or 1,2-epoxycyclopentane (6-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane; 2b ) yielded mixtures of diastereoisomeric spirocyclic 1,3-oxathiolanes ( 3 / 4 and 8 / 9 , respectively). In addition, the corresponding 1,3-dithiolane 6 was formed as a minor product in the reaction of 4,4-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thione ( 1a ) with 2a . The structures of the different types of products have been established by X-ray crystal-structure analysis. An ionic two-step mechanism via nucleophilic ring-opening of the complexed oxirane by the attack of the thiocarbonyl S-atom is proposed. This proposal is supported by the formation of the propellane 10 with a Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement as the key step.     

1,3-Dipolare Cycloadditionen eines Carbonyl-ylids mit 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thionen und Thioketonen

1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions of a Carhonyl-ylide with 1,3-Thiazole-5(4H)-thiones and Thioketones Inp-xylene at 150°, 3-phenyloxirane-2,2-dicarbonitrile ( 4b ) and 2-phenyl-3-thia-1-azaspiro[4.4]non-1-ene-4-thione ( 1a ) gave the three 1:1 adduets trans- 3a , cis- 3a , and 13a in 61, 21, and 3% yield, respectively (Scheme 3). The stereoisomers trans- 3a and cis- 3a are the products of a regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of carbonylylide 2b , generated thermally by an electrocyclic ring opening of 4b (Scheme 6), and the C?S group of 1a . Surprisingly, 13a proved not to be a regioisomeric cycloadduct of 1a and 2b , but an isomer formed via cleavage of the O? C(3) bond of the oxirane 4b . A reaction mechanism rationalizing the formation of 13a is proposed in Scheme 6. Analogous results were obtained from the reaction of 4b and 4,4-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazole-5 (4H)-thione ( 1b , Scheme 3). The thermolysis of 4b in p-xylene at 130° in the presence of adamantine–thione ( 10 ) led to two isomeric 1:1 adducts 15 and 16 in a ratio of ca. 2:1, however, in low yield (Scheme 4). Most likely the products are again formed viathe two competing reaction mechanisms depicted in Scheme 6. The analogous reactions of 4b with 2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclobutane-1,3-thione ( 11 ) and 9H-xanthene-9-thione ( 12 ) yielded a single 1:1 adduct in each case (Schemes). In the former case, spirocyclic 1,3-oxathiolane 17 , the product of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with 2a corresponding to 3a , was isolated in only 11 % yield. It is remarkable that no 2:1 adduct was formed even in the presence of an excess of 4b. In contrast, 4b and 12 reacted smoothly to give 18 in 81 % yield; no cycloadduct of the carbonylylide 2a could be detected. The structures of cis- 3a , 13a , 15 , and 18 , as well as the structure of 14 , which is a derivative of trans- 3a , have been established by X-ray crystallography (Figs. 1–3, Table).     

N-(1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-yliden)amine aus 1,3-dipolaren Cycloadditionen von Aziden mit 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thionen

N-(1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-ylidene)amines via 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition of Azides and 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thiones Organic azides 5 and 4,4-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-thione ( 2 ) in toluene at 90° react to give the corresponding N-(1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-ylidene)amines (= 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-imines) 6 in good yield (Table). A reaction mechanism for the formation of these scarcely investigated thiazole derivatives is formulated in Scheme 3: 1,3-Dipolar azide cycloaddition onto the C?S group of 2 leads to the 1:1 adduct C . Successive elimination of N₂ and S yields 6 , probably via an intermediate thiaziridine E .     

Generation and cyclization of thiocarbonyl S‐ylides by reaction of diazocompounds with C‐sulfonyldithioformates

The unexpected 1,3‐benzodithiine derivatives 5b,c were obtained from the reactions of trimethylsilyldiazomethane 2 with C‐sulfonyldithioformates, bearing pentachlorophenylthio group, 1b,c via unprecedented cyclization of the transient thiocarbonyl ylides 4b,c . While the corresponding reaction with C‐sulfonyldithioformates, bearing phenylthio group, afforded 5a via [2 + 3]‐cycloadditive dimerization of a transient thiocarbonyl ylides 4a . Under the same reaction condition, C‐sulfonyldithioformates 1d–f react with diazomethane and/or phenyldiazomethane to afford the unsymmetrical 1,3‐dithiolane 7d,e and thiirane 8e,f derivatives, respectively. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

1,5-Dipolare Elektrocyclisierung von Acyl-substituierten ‘Thiocarbonyl-yliden’ zu 1,3-Oxathiolen

1,5-Dipolar Electrocyclization of Acyl-Substituted ‘Thiocarbonyl-ylides’ to 1,3-Oxathioles The reaction of α-diazoketones 15a, b with 4,4-disubstituted 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 6 (Scheme 3), adamantanethione ( 17 ), 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-thioxocyclobutanone ( 19 ; Scheme 4), and thiobenzophenone ( 22 ; Scheme 5), respectively, at 50–90° gave the corresponding 1,3-oxathiole derivatives as the sole products in high yields. This reaction opens a convenient access to this type of five-membered heterocycles. The structures of three of the products, namely 16c, 16f , and 20b , were established by X-ray crystallography. The key-step of the proposed reaction mechanism is a 1,5-dipolar electrocyclization of an acyl-substituted ‘thiocarbonyl-ylide’ (cf. Scheme 6). The analogous reaction of 15a, b with 9H-xanthen-9-thione ( 24a ) and 9H-thioxanthen-9-thione ( 24b ) yielded α,β-unsaturated ketones of type 25 (Scheme 5). The structures of 25a and 25c were also established by X-ray crystallography. The formation of 25 proceeds via a 1,3-dipolar electrocyclization to a thiirane intermediate (Scheme 6) and desulfurization. From the reaction of 15a with 24b in THF at 50°, the intermediate 26 (Scheme 5) was isolated. In the crude mixtures of the reactions of 15a with 17 and 19 , a minor product containing a CHO group was observed by IR and NMR spectroscopy. In the case of 19 , this side product could be isolated and was characterized by X-ray crystallography to be 21 (Scheme 4). It was shown that 21 is formed – in relatively low yield – from 20a . Formally, the transformation is an oxidative cleavage of the C?C bond, but the reaction mechanism is still not known.     

Additionsreaktion von 1,3-Thiazol-5(4H)-thionen und inaminen; Bildung von Thioamiden und Thioketonen

Addition Reaction of 1,3-Thiazole-5(4H)-thiones and Ynamines; Formation of Thioamides and Thioketones Ynamines and 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones of type 1 undergo an addition reaction on heating in toluene yielding mainly α,β-unsaturated 2-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-5-yliden)thioamides of type 7 (Scheme 2 and Table). In some cases, 1-diethylamino-1-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-5-yliden)-2-alkanethiones 8 have been isolated as minor products. In analogy to other reactions of ynamines with C?O and C?S bonds, a [2 + 2] cycloaddition to thiete intermediates, followed by an electrocyclic ring opening is suggested as reaction mechanism.     

Trapping of a Thiocarbonyl Ylide with Imidazolethiones,Pyrimidinethione, and Thioamides

The reactions of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-8-thia-5,6-diazaspirol[3.4]oct-5-en-2-one ( 1a ) with imidazole-2-thiones 3 and pyrimidine-2(1H)-thione ( 6 ) in CHCl₃ at 40 – 50° yield 2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclobutanone dithioacetals of type 4 and 7 , respectively, by interception of the intermediate thiocarbonyl ylide 2a (Scheme 2). Thiirane 5 is formed as a minor product by 1,3-dipolar electrocyclization of 2a . When thioacetamide ( 8a ) and thiobenzamide ( 8b ) are used as trapping reagents, the primary adduct 10 undergoes a spontaneous cyclization by intramolecular nucleophilic addition of the imino group at the carbonyl group to yield bicyclic products of type 9 . The structure of 9a has been established by X-ray crystallography.     

Bildung von 5,6-Dihydro-1,3(4H)-thiazin-4-carbonsäure-estern aus 4-Allyl-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-onen

Formation of Methyl 5,6-Dihydro-l, 3(4H)-thiazine-4-carboxyiates from 4-Allyl-l, 3-thiazol-5(4H)-ones . The reaction of N-[1-(N, N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl)-1-methyl-3-butenyl]benzamid ( 1 ) with HCl or TsOH in MeCN or toluene yields a mixture of 4-allyl-4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-one ( 5a ) and allyl 4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl sulfide ( 11 ; Scheme 3). Most probably, the corresponding 1,3-oxazol-5(4H)-thiones B are intermediates in this reaction. With HCl in MeOH, 1 is transformed into methyl 5,6-dihydro-4,6-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3(4H)-thiazine-4-carboxylate ( 12a ). The same product 12a is formed on treatment of the 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-one 5a with HCl in MeOH (Scheme 4). It is shown that the latter reaction type is common for 4-allyl-substituted 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-ones.     

Bildung tricyclischer Thietan-Derivate durch intramolekulare(2+2)-Cycloaddition

Formation of Thietane Derivatives via Intramolecular (2+2) Cycloaddition On irradiation, the two 4-vinyl-1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 1a, b , synthesized from thiobenzoic acid and the corresponding 3-amino-2H-azirines 2a , b , undergo an intramolecular (2+2)-cycloaddition reaction of the C?S and C?C bonds to give the tricyclic thietane derivatives 3a , b .
