Original Recyclization of S-Phenacyl Derivatives of 4-Acylamino-2-mercapto-1,3-oxazoles and Their Analogues 433
regioselectively with, for example, chloroacetone,
It should also be noted that the two-step con-
version 1→2→3, shown in Scheme 1, closely re-
sembles the formerly studied cyclocondensation of
α-ethylthio substituted α-chloroketones with potas-
sium rhodanide [10] (see Scheme 2).
Thus, the constitution of compounds 3a–f, 5a–i,
and 6a–c is determined quite unequivocally, which
enables the treatment of the further complex con-
versions, 5→7→9 and 6→8→10, occurring on heat-
ing the reaction mixture to 140◦C in polyphosphoric
acid.
phenacyl bromide, 4-halogenophenacyl bromides,
and methyl chloroacetate to give the corresponding
2-mercapto-1,3-oxazole derivatives 5a–i and 6a–c.
Structures 3, 5, 6 are supported by the IR and
1H NMR spectral data, which suggest that the con-
→
version 1−→ 3 involves the carbonyl group of the
phenacyl moiety and the proton of the methine
group is eliminated from the moiety
in
the course of the thioamide group formation. At the
same time, the spectral data summarized in Table 1
demonstrate that the conversions 3→5 and 3→6
are completely regioselective and result in the in-
troduction of the groups CH2COMe, CH2COAr, and
CH2C(O)OMe at the sulfur atom.
As was shown previously [11], substituted ox-
azoles bearing an acetonylthio- or phenacylthio
group at position 2 can be converted on heat-
ing in polyphosphoric acid into fairly stable
