Carbonyl addition and alkylation reactions of isothiazolidine 1-oxide, the sulfur analog of 2-pyrrolidone
摘要:
Isothiazolidine 1-oxide is the sulfur analog of 2-pyrrolidone. A series of reactions at both the nitrogen and the alpha-sulfinyl carbon have been carried out. N-Deprotonation under phase-transfer conditions in the presence of p-nitrobenzyl bromide gives 2-(p-nitrobenzyl)isothiazolidine 1-oxide, the first cyclic sulfinamide to be characterized by X-ray analysis. Other N-substituted derivatives are also described. The dianion formed using 2 equiv of alkyllithium undergoes stereoselective monosubstitution with ketones and benzyl chloride at the carbon alpha to the sulfinyl group. With benzophenone, the syn product predominates as shown by X-ray analysis. Acetone also gives the syn product; however, with benzyl chloride, the anti product predominates. Unlike open-chain sulfinamides, the presence of a hydroxyl substituent on the carbon beta to the sulfinyl group in cyclic sulfinamides does not facilitate thermal elimination Of SO2 at 153-degrees-C, even after 5 h.
