Thioisatoic anhydrides

Despite that the thiophene ring is considered as a bioisoster of the benzene ring, the synthesis and chemistry of thiophene analogs of heterocycles with therapeutic interest remain poorly studied. One of the most recent examples concerns the synthesis of new substituted thioisatoic anhydrides (6 and 7-arylthieno[3,2-d] [1,3]oxazine-2,4-diones), which were prepared on a large scale under microwave irradiation conditions. A small library of thiophene ureidoacids was easily performed using a Normatron microwave reactor (500 W) with high yields and good purity [4,5] (Scheme 4).
