We have shown that the reaction of acetals 1 with thioamides in acetonitrile or absolute ethanol gives
C-phosphorylated 4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazoles 3.
The reaction probably proceeds through formation of linear intermediate 2. Attack of the proton of the
C(4) imino group at the methine carbon atom in intermediate 2 is accompanied by intramolecular cyclization to
give heterocycle 3.
The IR spectra of 3a and 3b lack the C(4)=NH absorption band at 2500-2600 cm-1 but have bands at
1070 (CH–O), 1290 (P=O), and 1635 (C=N), and 2980 cm-1 (C(2)=NH) as well as ketone group stretching
bands at 1680-1700 cm-1.

The H NMR spectra of compounds 3a-d lack signals for the acetal and C(4)=NH imino fragments (at
5.0-5.2 ppm with 3JPH = 2.5 Hz and 6.5-8.0 ppm, respectively). The ratio of the integral intensities of the protons
of the ethoxy fragments at the phosphorus atom and at the methine carbon atom (9:2:4) exclude structure 2. The
S–C(R)=NH proton is found in the vicinity of 4.5 ppm as a broad singlet, while the semiaminal proton at C(4)
3
appears as a double doublet (mixture of diastereomers) at 5.1-5.2 ppm with JPH = 12.5 Hz. The phenyl ring
protons appear as a series of downfield multiplets at 7.2-7.9 ppm. The 31P NMR spectrum shows signals at 15.41
and 16.47 ppm, indicating formation of a mixture of diastereomers.

The IR spectra for KBr pellets were taken on a UR-20 spectrometer. The H NMR spectra were taken
for solutions in acetone-d6 on a Tesla BW-567 spectrometer at 100 MHz with HMDS as the internal standard,
while the 31P NMR spectra were taken on a Bruker WP-80 spectrometer at 32.38 MHz with 85% H3PO4 as the
standard.
