of biologically relevant heterocycles employing domino

We started our study with the optimization of the model two-
component reaction between (E)-4-bromo-N-hydroxybenzimidoyl
chloride (1 mmol) and 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol (0.5 mmol) in the
presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (1 equiv) in etha-
nol at room temperature for 10 h.

The reaction was performed with corresponding (E)-N-hydroxyarylimidoyl
chloride and 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol in the presence of Et3N in CH3CN at reflux.24
After standard work-up and purification of the reaction mixture
via silica gel column chromatography, product 3b was obtained in
52% yield (Table 1, Entry 1). Then we proceeded with the optimiza-
tion of reaction conditions for maximizing the yield of the product.
As shown in Table 1, various bases such as potassium carbonate,
triethylamine, pyrrolidine, piperidine, pyridine, N,N-dimethylami-
nopyridine, and 1,4-diazabicyc-lo[2.2.2]octane were screened for
their catalytic efficacy in the reaction. Among the above bases, tri-
ethylamine is found to be superior to other bases and the yield of
the desired product could be increased to 65% in ethanol (Table 1,
Entry 12) and 74% in dichloromethane (Table 1, Entry 10) under
mild reaction conditions. Next, the model reaction was
investigated in other solvents, such as N,N-dimethylformamide,
methanol, water, and 1,4-dioxane (Table 1, Entries 10–16). From
the data listed in Table 1, it is clear that triethylamine–dichloro-
methane pair is ideal for obtaining a maximum yield of 3b (74%).
With the above optimized reaction conditions in hand, we pro-
ceeded to investigate the synthesis of a series of 3-aryl-5,6-dihy-
dro-1,4,2-oxathiazin-6-ols
3 (Table 2) employing differently
substituted (E)-N-hydroxyarylimidoyl chlorides (1 mmol) and
1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol (0.5 mmol) in the presence of triethylamine
(1 equiv) in dichloromethane at room temperature for 8–12 h.23
After completion of the reaction (TLC), the solvent was removed
under reduced pressure and the resulting crude product was
purified by flash silica column chromatography using petroleum
ether–ethyl acetate as eluent (4:1 v/v) to obtain a series of novel
3-aryl-5,6-dihydro-1,4,2-oxathiazin-6-ols 3a–o in 65–88% yields
(Table 2). As shown in Table 2, the (E)-N-hydroxyarylimidoylchlo-
rides bearing moderately electron-releasing groups such as phenyl,
naphthyl, heteroaryl, and alkyl gave better yields in shorter
reaction time than that with mild electron-withdrawing groups.

electron-releasing or electron-withdrawing groups such as 4-
NO2, 4-CF3, 3-NO2, 4-OMe, 4-(Me)2N, and 3-OMe failed even at
high temperature. The structure of 3-aryl-5,6-dihydro-1,4,2-oxa-
thiazin-6-ols 3 was deduced from one- and two-dimensional
NMR spectroscopic data as detailed for 3b as a representative
example (Fig. 2).

In the 1H NMR spectrum of 3b, the H-6 appears as a doublet of
doublets at 5.64 ppm (J = 2.4, 0.9 Hz). The diastereotopic H-5
hydrogens appear as a doublet of doublets at 3.21 (J = 12.3,
3.6 Hz) and 3.35 ppm (J = 12.3, 2.2 Hz). These H-5 hydrogens show
(i) a C,H-COSY correlation with the carbon signal at 29.1 ppm due
to C-5 and (ii) a HMB correlation with C-6 at 85.3 ppm. The H-20,60
hydrogens appear as a multiplet at 7.57–7.60 ppm and show (i) a
C,H-COSY correlation with the carbon signal at 127.6 ppm assign-
ing it to C-20,60 and (ii) HMB correlations with C-3 and C-40 at
150.0 and 125.1 ppm respectively. Similarly, the H-30,50 appearing
as a multiplet at 7.51–7.55 ppm show a C,H-COSY correlation with
the carbon signal at 131.8 ppm and a HMB correlation with C-10 at
133.8 ppm. The hydroxyl proton gives a broad singlet at 3.95 ppm.
The 1H and 13C chemical shifts of 3b are depicted in Figure 2. The
structure deduced from NMR spectroscopic data is also in accord
with ESI-Mass spectra. Finally, the structure of the product 3d
has been unequivocally determined by X-ray structurallographic
study (Fig. 3).22
