Abstract:
Under acetylating conditions racemic thioflavanone thiosemicarbazones cyclize into racemic 3‐acetyl‐spiro[1,3,4‐thiadiazoline‐2,4′‐thioflavans] and a racemic 3‐acetylspiro[1,3,4‐oxadiazoline‐2,4′‐thioflavan] with trans O(1) or S(1) and Ph(2′eq). Hindered rotation of the endocyclic N(3) acetyl group spirothia‐diazolines caused the formation of isomers separable by HPLC. X‐ray diffraction analyses, 1H‐, 13C‐, and 15N NMR measurements as well as MOPAC QM calculations were performed to reveal the structures of these isomers.
