The title compounds ( 3a-c ) together with the benzothiazolines ( 4b-c ) were obtained by reaction between 2,2′ -dithiodianiline ( 1 ) and acetylenic ketone ( 2a ) or esters ( 2b-c ). A possible pathway involving the formation and subsequent cyclization to 3 of enamine intermediates A and/or B , is suggested.     

Synthesis of 5,6- and 5,7-dichloro-3-methyl-4H-1,4-benzothiazines and their conversion into sulfones

A one pot synthesis of 5,6- and 5,7-dichloro-3-methyl-4H,4-benzothiazines is reported by the condensation and oxidative cyclization of 2-amino-3,4- and 3,5-dichlorobenzenethiols with β-dicarbonyl compounds. The oxidation of 4H-1,4-benzothiazines by 30% hydrogen peroxide in glacial acetic acid has provided the corresponding sulfones. The effect of the conversion of the sulfide linkage to sulfone is discussed. The structure of all the newly synthesized compounds has been confirmed by elemental analysis and spectral studies.     

Synthesis of 2-amino-5-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzenethiol and conversion into 4H-1,4-benzothiazines and their sulfones

The synthesis of 2-amino-5-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzenethiol was achieved by hydrolytic cleavage of 2-amino-6-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzothiazole which was prepared by cyclization of 4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenylthiourea by bromine in chloroform, the phenylthiourea was prepared by the reaction of 4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)aniline with ammonium thiocyanate in hydrochloric acid. Condensation and oxidative cyclization of 2-amino-5-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzenethiol with β-diketones/β-ketoesters provided 4H-1,4-benzothiazines. Fluorinated sulfones were obtained by oxidation of the corresponding benzothiazines with 30% hydrogen peroxide in glacial acetic acid. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral studies.

Raman-spectrum investigation of some acetylenic alcohols and their acetic esters

Summary The formation of the acetic esters of tri- and di-bromo ketols by the action of HOBr on the acetic esters of secondary and tertiary acetylenic alcohols is due to the particularly strongly protonized (acidic) hydrogen atom of the methylidyne group=C-H, which results from profound frequency modulation of the vibrations of the latter by the low-frequency intermolecular vibrations at the hydrogen bonds.     

Reaction of 2-aminothiophenol with acrylic acid and conversion of the resultant adducts

The reaction of acrylic acid with 2-aminothiophenol gives 5-carboxyethyl-2,3-dihydro-5H-benzo[b][1,4]-thiazepin-4-one and N-[2-(carboxyethylthio)phenyl]-α-alanine, while the reaction of acrylic acid with bis(2-aminophenyl) disulfide gives bis[2-(carboxyethylamino)phenyl] disulfide. The action of potassium thiocyanate in acid medium on the carboxyethylamino derivatives yields 1-[2-carboxyethylthio)phenyl]dihydro-4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinone-2-thione, bis-{2-[dihydro-4(1H, 3H)-pyrimidinone-2-thion-1-yl]phenyl} disulfide, and 3-(2-mercaptobenzothiazol-3-yl)propanoic acid. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 256–261, February, 2006.     

Reactions of N-vinylic phosphazenes with azodicarboxylic and acetylenic esters

N-Vinylic phosphazenes react as enamines (1,4-addition) with azodicarboxylic esters, whereas different behavior is observed when these phosphazenes react with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (3,4-addition). A [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of the vinyl moiety of vinylic phosphazenes with the acetylenic triple bond of the acetylenic esters followed by a ring opening leads to the formation of functionalized conjugated phosphazenes.

4-Methyl-o-benzoquinone, generated oxidatively, reacts readily with 2-aminoethanethiol giving 5-hydroxy-7-methyl-1,3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazine (I) or 5-oxo-7-methyl-8-(2-hydroxy-4-methylphenoxy)-3,5-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazine (VIII), depending on the conditions under which the reaction is performed. Chemical and spectral (uv, ir, nmr and ms) evidence for the assigned structures, as well as the course of the above mentioned reaction is described. A study of the behaviour of compound VIII in the presence of acids and alkalies is also reported.     

One-pot conversion of aromatic bromides and aromatics into aromatic nitriles via aryllithiums and their DMF adduct

Various aromatic bromides and iodides were smoothly converted into the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good to moderate yields by the treatment with n-butyllithium and subsequently DMF, followed by treatment with molecular iodine in aq NH₃. The same treatment of typical aromatics and heteroaromatics with n-butyllithium and subsequently DMF, followed by treatment with molecular iodine in aq NH₃ also provided the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good yields. Moreover, the same treatment of aromatic bromides and aromatics with half amount of DIH (1,3-diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin) instead of molecular iodine worked effectively to give the corresponding aromatic nitriles, respectively, in good yields. These reactions are novel and environmentally benign one-pot methods for the preparation of aromatic nitriles from aromatic bromides and aromatics, respectively, through the formation of aryllithiums and their DMF adducts.     

Facile and racemization-free conversion of chiral nitriles into pyridine derivatives

The results described herein demonstrate how the very mild reaction conditions of the Co(I)-catalyzed photochemical [2 + 2 + 2] cyclocotrimerization are suited to prepare chiral compounds containing unsubstituted and polysubstituted 2-pyridyl moieties starting from chiral nitriles without any detectable loss of enantiomerical purity. This further increases the already very broad synthetic scope of this particular reaction.     

Catalytic oxidative conversion of alcohols, aldehydes and amines into nitriles using KI/I2-TBHP system

The oxidative conversion of alcohols, aldehydes and amines to give corresponding nitriles in excellent yields was easily achieved by the catalytic amount of KI or I₂ in combination with TBHP as an external oxidant. This non-transition metal catalyst is cost effective and provides easy work-up and separation of the product.     

Reaction of acetylenic esters and N-functionalized phosphazenes. 1,2-versus 1,4-addition of N-vinylic phosphazenes

Reaction of phosphazenes derived from aminophosphonates with acetylenic esters leads to conjugated phosphorus ylides. The formation of these stabilized ylides is explained through a [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of the P = N linkage of the phosphazene (1,2-addition) and the triple bond of the acetylenic ester followed by ring opening of the azaphosphete intermediate. However, in the case of N-vinylic phosphazenes, the phosphazenes derived from triphenyl- and trimethyl-phosphine react as enamines (1,4-addition) with diacetylenic esters, whereas in phosphazenes derived from trimethylphosphine a 1,2-addition of ethyl propiolate to the P = N linkage of the phosphazene is produced.
