Synthesis of isomeric N-substituted 5-methyl-2H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-3(6H)one 1,1-dioxides from sulfamides and diketene

The reaction of N-n-butyl and N-benzylsulfamides with diketene in acetic acid solution in the presence of mercuric cyanide as a catalyst, afforded the corresponding 5-methyl-2-substituted-2H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-3(6H)one 1,1-dioxides. The reaction of the above mentioned sulfamides with diketene in an aqueous alkaline medium resulted in the isolation of the corresponding N-aceto-acetyl-N' -substituted-sulfamides, which were then converted into 5-methyl-6-substituted-2H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-3(6H)one 1,1-dioxides. Catalytic hydrogenation of the 5-methyl-2- and 6-n-butyl-2H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-3(6H)one 1,1-dioxides furnished the corresponding dihydro-derivatives. The structures of the isomeric 1,2,6-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxide derivatives obtained were assigned on the basis of nmr spectroscopic studies.
