A new synthetic approach to 2,3-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazine derivatives based upon reductive rearrangement of 1,2- dithiole-3-ylidene thiones has been developed. In turn, the 1,2-dithiole derivatives were prepared by an efficient ring- opening-closing process of 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidines, induced in the presence of Lawesson's reagent by intramolecular non-bonded 1,5-type S...O interactions in the 4-oxothiazolidine precursors.
Information about the strength of donor–acceptor interactions in push–pull alkenes is valuable, as this so-called “push–pull effect” influences their chemical reactivity and dynamic behaviour. In this paper, we discuss the applicability of NMR spectral data and barriers to rotation around the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C double bond to quantify the push–pull effect in biologically important 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidines. While olefinic proton chemical shifts and differences in 13C NMR chemical shifts of the two carbons constituting the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C double bond fail to give the correct trend in the electron withdrawing ability of the substituents attached to the exocyclic carbon of the double bond, barriers to rotation prove to be a reliable quantity in providing information about the extent of donor–acceptor interactions in the push–pull systems studied. In particular all relevant kinetic data, that is the Arrhenius parameters (apparent activation energy Ea and frequency factor A) and activation parameters (ΔS‡, ΔH‡ and ΔG‡), were determined from the data of the experimentally studied configurational isomerization of (E)-9a. These results were compared to previously published related data for other two compounds, (Z)-1b and (2E,5Z)-7, showing that experimentally determined ΔG‡ values are a good indicator of the strength of push–pull character. Theoretical calculations of the rotational barriers of eight selected derivatives excellently correlate with the calculated C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond lengths and corroborate the applicability of ΔG‡ for estimation of the strength of the push–pull effect in these and related systems.
A new series of unsubstituted and substituted pyridinium salts bearing a 4-oxothiazolidinyl moiety has been prepared by an efficient rearrangement of 2-(1-bromoalkylidene)thiazolidin-4-ones. The process in based on three steps, namely carbon-bromine cleavage, bromine transfer, and substitution, each induced by pyridine or its derivatives, acting as base and reactant.
Heterocyclization of (Z)-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-methyl-4-oxothiazolidines, bearing electron-withdrawing groups conjugated to an exocyclic double bond at C(2)-position, afforded under reductive conditions, cis-tetrahydroftiro[2,3- d]thiazole derivatives. The reactions of these functionalized push-pull beta-enamines occur in a stereocontrolled fashion via activated vinylogous N-methyliminium ions, which are trapped by an internal hydroxyethyl group
Structures of a series of push-pull 2-alkylidene-4-thiazolidinones and 2-alkylidene-4,5-fused bicyclic thiazolidine derivatives were optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory in the gas phase and discussed with respect to configurational and conformational stability. Employing the GIAO method, C-13 NMR chemical shifts of the C-2, C-2', C-4 and C-5 atoms were calculated at the same level of theory in the gas phase and with inclusion of solvent, and compared with experimental data. Push-pull effect of all compounds was quantified by means of the quotient pi*/pi, length of the partial double bond, C-13 NMR chemical shift difference (Delta delta(C=C)) and H-1 NMR chemical shifts of olefinic protons. The effect of bromine on donating and accepting ability of other substituents of the push- pull C=C double bond is discussed, too.
Syntheses of thiazolidine-fused heterocycles via exo-mode cyclizations of vinylogous N-acyliminium ions incorporating heteroatom-based nucleophiles have been examined and discussed. The formation of (5,6)-membered systems was feasible with all nucleophiles tried (O, S and N), while the closing of the five-membered ring was restricted to O- and S-nucleophiles. The closure of a four-membered ring failed. Instead, the bicyclic (5,6)-membered acetal derivative and the tricyclic system with an eight-membered central ring were obtained from the substrates containing O and S nucleophilic moieties, respectively. The reaction outcome and stereochemistry are rationalized using quantum chemical calculations at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The exclusive cis-stereoselectivity in the formation of (5,6)- and (5,5)-membered systems results from thermodynamic control, whereas the formation of the eight-membered ring was kinetically controlled.
Trithiaazapentalene derivatives were prepared by the reaction of 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidines with Lawesson's reagent. They are classified as two structurally different trithiaazapentalene compounds that have different contributions of monocyclic 1,2-dithiole and 1,2,4-dithiazole structures and degrees of aromaticity of the bicyclic trithiaazapentalene system. The electron-donating ability of substituents at the C(5) position of the trithiaazapentalene system is recognized as the main cause for changes in pi-Celectron distribution. This is the first complete study of substituent effects on the structure of trithiapentalenes. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A series of 5-unsubstituted and 5-substituted 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidine-S-oxides were synthesized by the sulfur-oxidation with m-CPBA. The stereochemistry of 5-substituted sulfoxides was determined by means of NMR spectroscopy and DFT theoretical calculations. It was found that the thermodynamically less stable anti-isomer was initially formed in the course of the oxidation, but it underwent epimerization to the mixture enriched in the more stable syn-isomer, during the work-up process. The higher stability of syn-isomers is ascribed to the stronger hyperconjugative sigma(C-H)->sigma*(S-O) interaction versus the weaker sigma(C-C)->sigma*(S-O) delocalization in their anti-counterparts and to the existence of intramolecular 1,5-CH center dot center dot center dot C hydrogen bonds.

Information about the strength of donor-acceptor interactions in push-pull alkenes is valuable, as this so-called "push-pull effect' influences their chemical reactivity and dynamic behaviour. In this paper, we discuss the applicability of NMR spectral data and barriers to rotation around the CQC double bond to quantify the push-pull effect in biologically important 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidines. While olefinic proton chemical shifts and differences in C-13 NMR chemical shifts of the two carbons constituting the CQC double bond fail to give the correct trend in the electron withdrawing ability of the substituents attached to the exocyclic carbon of the double bond, barriers to rotation prove to be a reliable quantity in providing information about the extent of donor-acceptor interactions in the push-pull systems studied. In particular all relevant kinetic data, that is the Arrhenius parameters ( apparent activation energy Ea and frequency factor A) and activation parameters ( Delta S-double dagger, Delta H-double dagger and Delta G(double dagger)), were determined from the data of the experimentally studied configurational isomerization of ( E)-9a. These results were compared to previously published related data for other two compounds, ( Z)-1b and ( 2E, 5Z)-7, showing that experimentally determined Delta G(double dagger) values are a good indicator of the strength of push-pull character. Theoretical calculations of the rotational barriers of eight selected derivatives excellently correlate with the calculated CQC bond lengths and corroborate the applicability of Delta G(double dagger) for estimation of the strength of the push-pull effect in these and related systems.
