Abstract: | The preparation of some 3,5-diarylidene-1-thipyran-4-one derivatives (Ia-e) was described. Oxidation of Ia, b and Ie with hydrogen peroxide gave the corresponding dioxides (IIa-c). Reaction of the 1-thiapyran-4-one derivatives with bromine, Grignard reagents, and amines were studied. Structural assignments are supported by spectral (UV, IR, and 1HNMR) data. |
