Synthesis,Structure, and Some Transformations of Novel 1,5‐methanonaphtho[1,2‐g][1,3,5]oxadiazocine Derivatives

Biginelli reaction of thiourea, 2‐hydroxy‐1‐naphthaldehyde, and acetoacetic ester (or benzoyl acetone) under solvent‐free conditions and MW irradiation gave novel 3‐thioxo‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1H‐1,5‐methanonaphtho1,2‐g]1,3,5]oxadiazocine derivatives. Subsequent reaction of the obtained compounds with α‐chloroacetamide led to 5‐methyl‐5H,13H‐5,13‐methanonaphtho1,2‐g] thiazolo2,3‐d]1,3,5]oxadiazocin‐1(2H)‐ones, which were converted to the Z‐isomers of 2‐arylylidene‐5H,13H‐5,13‐methanonaphtho1,2‐g]thiazolo2,3‐d]1,3,5]oxadiazocin‐1(2H)‐one derivatives by reaction with arylaldehydes. The structures of the products were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra, and X‐ray analysis.
