Thiete 1,1-dioxides 3-amino

The synthesis and properties of optically active thiet 1,1-dioxides have been reviewed. The generation of sulphenes from p-nitrophenyl sulpho-nates is claimed to have advantages in the preparation of 3-amino-4-arylthiet 1,1-dioxides from acetylenic amines, principally in the avcndance of the presence of triethylamine hydrochloride, which is believed to cause isomerization of the thiet derivative. Several other thiet dioxides have been obtained by reaction of a sulphene with an acetylenic amine. - They are claimed to be anti-inflammatory agents. The formaticm of a thiet 1,1-dioxide from acetylenic sulphine (167) and an enamine has been noted previously. A number of substituted thiet dioxides have been prepared by addition of sulphene to enamines followed by a Cope elimination of the amine. These compounds were tested for analgesic activity but none was found. Thiet 1,1-dioxide (123) is obtained from... 

Nucleophilic attack by an amino group on the carbonyl function of a /3-thiolactone forms the basis for a novel peptide synthesis, as illustrated by the preparation of (63) (64RCR493). Amines undergo Michael addition to the carbon-carbon double bond of thiete 1,1-dioxide (61) (62JA399). 

The cycloaddition of sulfenes with enamines provides a good synthetic route to thiete 1, 1-dioxides (174) (see Chapter 7, p. 115) (Scheme 69).8 Thiete-1, 1-dioxides like (174) react with alkylamines by conjugate addition to yield the corresponding amino derivatives (175), and by heating in the presence of a reactive alkene, e.g. norborene (176), they form the [2+4] cycloadducts, e.g. (177) (Scheme 69). 

Formation.—Preparation of thietan oxides by oxidation of thietans is covered in the previous section. Cycloaddition of sulphenes to electron-rich alkenes, the other important method of preparation of episulphones, has been further used for the preparation of a-chloro- and /S-amino-, cf-sila- and -amino-, and cf-alkoxycarbonyl- and -amino-thietan dioxides. The sulphonyl enamine (96) can be converted into the thietan dioxide (97) by treatment with acid, a procedure that usually hydrolyses enamines to ketones. Regeneration of (96) from (97) occurs on heating in alcoholic base. Thiet sulphone cyclo-adds to cyclopentadiene to give the Diels-Alder adducts with an exo/endo ratio of 0.25. ...
