Factors Determining the Stereochemical Structure of 2-(Phosphorus Substituted) Methylidene-thiazolidine- 4-ones in Solid State and in Solution
摘要:
Regioselective synthesis of novel 2-(phosphorus substituted) methylidene-thiazolidine-4-ones 5a-c was performed via condensation of phosphorus-substituted acetic acid thioamides 4a-c with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. Thiazolidine-4-ones 5a,b bearing thiophosphoryl or dithiophosphoryl moiety were obtained as E,Z-isomers while their analog 5c with triphenylphosphonium group was formed as a Z,Z-isomer. The structures of thiazolidin-4-ones 5a-c obtained were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. According to quantum-chemical calculations, the isomers observed in the solid state are thermodynamically more stable. In solution, thio- and dithiophosphorylated thiazolidinones 5a, b undergo E,Z Z,Z isomerization relative to C2 carbon atom of the heterocycle proceeding via an imine-enamine mechanism.
