However, the thione form of mereaptoazole ligands is retained in the metal eomplexes of l-methyl-l,3-imidazolin-2-thione 370 (90POL981) and 371 [92ICA75 93JOM(453)47], l-phenyltetrazol-5-thione 372 [96JOM (513)63] and l,3-thiazolidin-2-thione 373 (89ICA265). 

Evans et al. reported that the bis(imine)-copper (II) complex 25, prepared from chiral bis(imine) ligand and Cu(OTf)2, is also an effective chiral Lewis acid catalyst [34] (Scheme 1.44, Table 1.18). By tuning the aryl imine moiety, the bis(2,6-dichlor-ophenylimine) derivative was found to be suitable. Although the endojexo selectivity for 3-alkenoyloxazolidinones is low, significant improvement is achieved with the thiazolidine-2-thione analogs, for which both dienophile reactivity and endojexo selectivity are enhanced. 

Cyclocondensation of 3-amino-4-(hydroxyamino)thiazolidine-2-thiones 649, with diacetyl gave 650, which were reduced by sodium borohydride to give the corresponding A-hydroxy derivatives 651 (87KGS554) (Scheme 133).

In Entry 5, the aldehyde is also chiral and double stereodifferentiation comes into play. Entry 6 illustrates the use of an oxazolidinone auxiliary with another highly substituted aldehyde. Entry 7 employs conditions that were found effective for a-alkoxyacyl oxazolidinones. Entries 8 and 9 are examples of the application of the thiazolidine-2-thione auxiliary and provide the 2,3-syn isomers with diastereofacial control by the chiral auxiliary.

The stereoselective addition of the titanium enolate of A-acetyl-4-phenyl-l,3-thiazolidine-2-thione 153 to the cyclic A-acyl iminium ion 154 is utilized in the synthesis of (-)-stemoamide, a tricyclic alkaloid <06JOC3287>.

Bicyclic alkaloids. Nagao et al. have developed a general synthesis of chiral bicyclic alkaloids with a nitrogen atom at the ring juncture, such as pyrrolizidines [5.5], quinolizidines [6.6], and indolizidines [6.5], based on a highly diastereose-lective alkylation of 3-a>-chloroacyl-(4S)-isopropyl-l,3-thiazolidine-2-thiones (1, m = 1,2) with 5-acetoxy-2-pyrrolidinone (2, n = 1) or 6-acetoxy-2-piperidinone (2, n = 2). Thus the tin enolate of 1 (m = 1), prepared with Sn(OTf) and N-... 

This asymmetric alkylation of cyclic acylimines can provide optically active precursors to carbapenems.2 Thus reaction of the 4-acetoxy-2-azetidinone 5 with the chiral 3-acyl-(4S)-ethyl-l,3-thiazolidine-2-thione 6 provides the substituted aze-tidinone 7, an intermediate in a total synthesis of (- )-l-(3-methylcarbapenem.

Evans and coworkers262 demonstrated the utility of bis(oxazolidine)copper(II) complexes 425 as Lewis acid catalysts in Diels-Alder reactions of iV-enoyl-l,3-oxazolidin-2-ones 423 with cyclopentadiene, which gave adducts 424 (equation 128, Table 25). Their best results were obtained using catalyst 425c. Surprisingly, only 30% ee was obtained in the reaction between cyclopentadiene and 17a when catalyzed by 425a. Similar results were obtained for the thiazolidine-2-thione analogs of the iV-enoyl-l,3-oxazolidin-2-ones. 

Abstract This presentation is a brief review on the resnlts of our work on iodine interaction with thioamides, selenoamides and amides. The thioamides, benzothia-zole-2-thione (BZT) (1), 6-n-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU) (2), 5-chloro-2-mercap-tobenzothiazole (CMBZT) (3), N-methyl-benzothiazole-2-thione (NMBZT) (4), benzimidazole-2-thione (BZIM) (5), thiazolidine-2-thione (TZD) (6), 2-mercapto-pyridine (PYSH) (7), 2-mercapto-nicotinic acid (MNA) (8), 2-mercapto-benzoic acid (MBA) (9) and 2-mercapto-pyrimidine (PMT) (10) react with producing three type of complexes of formulae [(HL)IJ(l2) (HL= thioamide and n= 0, 1), [(HL) [I3 ] and [(HL-L)]+[l3 ]. The interaction of seleno-amides, derived from, 6-n-propyl-2-thiouracil (RSelJ) (R= Me- (11), Et- (12), n-Pr- (13) and i-Pr- (14)) with I, have also been studied and produced the complexes [(RSeU)IJ of spoke structure. These complexes are stable in non-polar solvents, but they decompose in polar solvents, producing dimeric diselenide compounds or undertake deselenation. 

These compounds derived from 3-acetylthiazolidine-2-thione are very versatile chiral materials, capable of being transformed into various synthetic intermediates as previously demonstrated (30). Furthermore, in the stannous enolate mediated aldol-type reactions of 3-(2-benzyloxyacetyl)thiazolidine-2-thione, the stereochemical course of the reaction is dramatically altered by the addition of TMEDA as a ligand. High asymmetric induction is also achieved by the addition of a chiral diamine derived from (S)-proline (31). 

Special attention was given to the characterization of the radioactive metabolites found in the strawberry fruits where no parent compound was detectable. Unidentified, very polar metabolites accounted for 83% of the material while 3% was identified as thiazolidine-2-thione-4-carboxylic acid by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography. Treatment with diazomethane allowed for GC-MS confirmation of the latter as the methylated derivatives of the thiazolidine. 

Leaves contained 55% of the label as the parent compound dichlofluanid, 35% as very polar unidentified metabolites and 10% as thiazolidine-2-thione-4-carboxylic acid. A small amount (0.2%) was bis-(fluo-rodichloromethyl) disulfide as confirmed by two dimai-sional tic and MS. This amount is probably less than was actually present as the work up procedures were not optimized to detect such a relatively volatile... 

Acylation of o-glucono-1,4-lactone and o-glucono-1,5-lactone with A-(l 1-unde-cenoyl)-l,3-thiazolidine-2-thione in the presence of triethylamine gave 6-(9-unde-cenoyl ester as the single product. In the case of the 1,5-lactone, isomerization to the... 

The spiro compound 15 is obtained in excellent yield by the cycloaddition of 3-(4-fluorophenylimino)indolin-2-one with mercaptopropionic acid under microwave irradiation <2003SUL201>. Treatment under basic conditions of 2,3-dihalopropylamines with carbon disulfide results in the formation of two isomeric products 5-halotetrahydro-l,3-thiazine-2-thione 204 and 5-(halomethyl)thiazolidine-2-thione 205 <2002CHE1533>. 

A chiral recognition was observed in aminolysis of 3-acyl-4(R)-methoxycarbonyl-l,3-thiazolidine-2-thione, a derivative of (R)-cysteine, by racemic amines to give an optically active amide [(S)-excess] and amine [(R)-excess]264). In the reaction of cyclic meso-1,3-diols with chiral N-protected phenylalanyl chlorides, Yamada et al.26S) observed the preferential formation of one of the two possible diastereomeric monoesters, which has been used for the synthesis of optically active steroids 266) and prostaglandins 267).
