Isothiazole-carboxylic acids

In most other reactions the azolecarboxylic acids and their derivatives behave as expected (cf. Scheme 52) (37CB2309), although some acid chlorides can be obtained only as hydrochlorides. Thus imidazolecarboxylic acids show the normal reactions they can be converted into hydrazides, acid halides, amides and esters, and reduced by lithium aluminum hydride to alcohols (70AHC(12)103). Again, thiazole- and isothiazole-carboxylic acid derivatives show the normal range of reactions. 

Phenyl substituents, especially in the 3 position, are deactivated by the isothiazole ring. The order for ease of decarboxylation of isothiazole carboxylic acids is 5 > 3 > 4. 

Isothiazoles with electron-releasing substituents such as amino, hydroxy, or alkoxy in the 3- or 5-position are brominated in high yield in the 4-position. Alkylisothiazoles give lower yields, but 3-methylisothiazole-5-carboxylic acid has been brominated in 76% yield (72AHC(14)1). Again, thiazoles with an electron-releasing substituent in the 2- or 4-position are brominated at the 5-position (79HC(34-1)5). 

Both 1,2- and 2,1-benzisothiazoles react with electrophiles to give 5- and 7-substituted products (see Section 4.02.3.2). The isothiazole ring has little effect on the normal characteristics of the benzene ring. C-Linked substituents react almost wholly normally, the isothiazole ring having little effect except that phenyl substituents are deactivated (see Section 4.17.2.1). There are, however, considerable differences in the ease of decarboxylation of the carboxylic acids, the 4-isomer being the most stable (see Section 4.02.3.3).

Simple isothiazole-4-carboxylic acids have been made from the corresponding nitriles, which are available in turn from the halogeno derivatives, or directly by the olefin route.5-Aminoiso-thiazole-4-esters and -nitriles are readily obtained by the thioamide route. The 4-acids behave normally and form acid chlorides, esters, amides, and hydrazides. In contrast to the 5-series...

Isothiazole and alkylisothiazoles may be brominated under various conditions,18,70,92 but yields are often poor possibly because of the formation of perbromo compounds. Isothiazoles with electronreleasing substituents, however, undergo facile bromination and high yields have been reported for isothiazoles with amino,3, 7 9-93-95 hydroxy,18 or alkoxy93,96 substituents in the 3- or 5-position. An isothiazole with an electron-withdrawing substituent, 3-methyl-isothiazole-5-carboxylic acid, has been brominated in 76% yield.70...
