Reaction of sulfene with heterocyclic N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XI. Synthesis of 1,2-oxathiino[5,6-d]-1-benzoxepin derivatives

The 1,4-cycloaddition of sulfene to N,N-disubstituted (E)-4-aminomethylene-3,4-dihydro-1-benzoxepin-5(2H)-ones gave, generally in excellent yield, N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,2-oxathiino-[5,6-d)-1-benzoxepin 2,2-dioxides, which are derivatives of the new heterocyclic system 1,2-oxathiino[5,6-d]-1-benzoxepin. This reaction did not occur only with the N,N-diphenylenaminone.
