Synthesis and NMR configurational study of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles from 1H-1,4-diazepine-7(6H)-thiones

Abstract A thermal intramolecular cyclization of 1-vinyl2,3-dihydro-3 H -imidazole-2-thiones to imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles is reported. A heteronuclear correlation study of these systems was made in order to establish the configuration of the products.

Conformational mobility of thianthrene-5-oxide.

[reaction: see text] Data on the apparent dipole moment of thianthrene-5-oxide (1) and (1)H NMR spectra in different solvents support the conformational mobility of 1, which flaps between two limit boat conformations with the sulfinyl group in pseudoequatorial and pseudoaxial positions, respectively. The conformational equilibrium of 1 occurs too fast for the (1)H NMR (500 MHz) time-scale even at -130 degrees C, and the equilibrium constant has not been determined. The apparent dipole moments of 1 in n-hexane and 1,4-dioxane and the (1)H NMR spectra of 1 and the model compounds cis- and trans-thianthrene-5,10-dioxides (2) and thianthrene (5) in different solvents and at various temperatures…

Mechanism of the oxidation of sulfides by dioxiranes: conformational mobility and transannular interaction in the oxidation of thianthrene 5-oxide.

The detailed study of the oxidation of thianthrene 5-oxide (1) with methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (5b) in different solvents and in the presence of (18)O isotopic tracers is reported. Thianthrene 5-oxide (1) is a flexible molecule in solution, and this property allows for transannular interaction of the sulfoxide group with the expected zwitterionic 7 and hypervalent 10-S-4 sulfurane 9 intermediates formed in the oxidation and biases the course of the reaction toward the monooxygenation pathway.

Unexpected metal-free synthesis of trifluoromethyl arenes via tandem coupling of dicyanoalkenes and conjugated fluorinated sulfinyl imines

A novel strategy for the synthesis of policyclic trifluoromethyl arenes has been devised. It involves a DBU-promoted tandem cycloaromatization reaction of dicyanoalkenes and fluorinated conjugated sulfinyl imines. This unprecedented transformation is a metal-free and air-tolerant process that takes place from readily available starting materials under mild reaction conditions.
