Abstract: | N-(3,5-Dichlorophenyl)-2-cysteinylsuccinimide methyl ester hydrochloride ( 5 ) was prepared from N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)maleimide ( 3 ) and cysteinyl methyl ester hydrochloride. Attempted neutralization of the cysteine conjugate salt with triethylamine resulted in spontaneous cyclization of 5 to form the more stable 2-(N-3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamoylmethyl)-5-carbomethoxy-1,4-thiazine- 3-one ( 6 ). Similar results might be expected in vivo should these metabolites of succinimides be formed. |
