Abstract – A series of some new 1,2,3,5-thiatriazolidin-4-one 1,1-dioxides
derivatives were synthesized by reacting respectively β-cyanohydrazines and
phosphorylated hydrazine with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate in good yields. The
1
13
structures of all the newly prepared compounds were confirmed by IR, H, C,
31P-NMR spectral data and elemental analysis.
Sulfamide derivatives have boomed in recent years in the literature, following to their extensive use as
pharmacophores and their interesting biological properties. Indeed, the sulfamide moiety, an important
synthetic potential has emerged as a promising class of compounds in drug discovery.1,2 Similarly, interest
in the cyclic sulfamides, do not exist in nature, has allowed some researchers to develop new promising
concepts and to discover and produce new active substances.3,4 These compounds are well known in the
medicinal chemistry field as a non-hydrolysable components peptidomimetics,5,6 agonists of the 5–HTID
(rate controller serotonin)7 and the HIV serineprotease.8-11
In the context of such collaboration and in continuation of our work on the synthesis of novel nitrogen and
sulfur heterocyclic systems, we focused our studies on the preparation of series of five-membered
heterocyclic compounds containing a sulfamide group. We describe for the first time the first example of a
new class of heterocyclic 1,2,3,5-thiatriazolidin-4-one 1,1-dioxides. The new cyclic sulfamide is an
interesting candidate for pharmaceutical purposes.
The heteroaromatic 1,2,3,5-thiatriazolidin-4-one 1,1-dioxides are a class of biologically active heterocyclic
compounds.12-14 However, only a few methods for synthesizing these compounds have been described.15-17
One approach to the preparation of these heterocycles has been reported by S. D. Ziman by reacting thionyl
chloride on semi or thiosemicarbazides.

18
Chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI), discovered by Graf is an heterocumulene of exceptional reactivity.19
Until now, no reaction of this compound with phosphorylated hydrazine or β-cyanohydrazines has been
reported.
Herein, we describe a facile one-pot synthesis of new substituted 1,2,3,5-thiatriazolidin-4-one 1,1-dioxides
3 and 4 in which phosphorylated hydrazine 1, β-cyanohydrazines 2 and chlorosulfonyl isocyanate are
employed as starting materials. These compounds which depicted in scheme 1 and scheme 2 were prepared
according to the literature.20-25
Scheme 1. The drawing represents the synthetic procedures of phosphorylated hydrazine
Scheme 2. Synthetic pathway for the preparation of β-cyanohydrazine
The desired compounds 3 and 4 were readily synthesized as shown in Scheme 3. Phosphorylated hydrazine
1 and β-cyanohydrazines 2 were prepared subsequently condensed with CSI in anhydrous toluene to
affords 1,2,3,5-thiatriazolidin-4-one 1,1-dioxides 3 and 4. In order to demonstrate the efficiency and
generality of this protocol, we examined the reactions of various substituted hydrazine with CSI (Table 1).
All substrates react to give the corresponding compounds 3 and 4 in good to excellent yields.

Table 1. Substrate scope studies
Aplausible mechanism for the formation of compounds 3 and 4 is depicted in (Scheme 4). The reaction was
assumed to proceed by nucleophilic attack of the NH2 group of hydrazine on the carbonyl group of CSI,
giving intermediate I which then immediately yielded via an heterocyclization the correspondent
1,2,3,5-thiatriazolidin-4-one 1,1-dioxides.

Scheme 4. Reaction mechanism for the synthesis of compounds 3 and 4
During this reaction the addition of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate was carried out at room temperature to avoid
the attack of the free electron pair of the primary nitrogen on the sulfonic group, indeed after the addition of
CSI the mixture was heated to facilitate the chloride departure. We found that these new heterocyclic
compounds are relatively unstable to air and at room temperature. These compounds can be kept at cold
under an argon atmosphere.
The structures of the compounds were established on the basis of their spectral data. The IR spectra show an
absorption bands around 3419 and 3320 cm-1 which is assigned to the vibration of the NH group. There is
1
another strong band at 1690 cm-1 which is attributed to the amide group. All H- and 13C-NMR data
1
obtained for the compounds are presented in the experimental section. In H-NMR spectra, we observed
essentially the total disappearance of the signal of NH2 group and the appearance of a new signal around 10
ppm characteristic of the protons of the amide group. 13C-NMR chemical shifts of different types of atoms
are consistent with the structure of the synthesized compounds. Analysis of the 13C-NMR spectra shows the
appearance of a new signal around 157 ppm attributed to the carbonyl of the amide group.
In summary, we have described in this paper the discovery of a simple and general route to synthesize some
new 1,2,3,5-thiatriazolodin-4-one 1,1-dioxides scaffolds in moderate to excellent yields from
corresponding substituted hydrazine and chlorosulfonyl isocyanate. Further studies on the bioactivity of the
synthesized compounds are currently under way in our laboratory.

EXPERIMENTAL
Melting points were determined on a Buchi B-545 melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. All
reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC). IR spectra were recorded in the range
4000-600 cm-1 using KBr disks on a Perkin Elmer 1600 series FTIR spectrometer. 1H, 31P and 13C-NMR
spectra were recorded with DMSO-d6 as the solvent, on a Bruker-300 spectrometer. The chemical shifts are
1
13
reported in ppm relative to TMS (internal reference) for H and C-NMR and relative to 85% H3PO4
(external reference) for 31P -NMR. Elemental analyses were carried out on EI Elemental Vario EL
apparatus. The starting materials were prepared according to reported procedures.20-25
Typical experimental procedure for the synthesis of 1,2,3,5-thiatriazolodin-4-one 1,1-dioxides 3 and 4.
To a well-stirred solution of substituted hydrazine (1 mmol) in dry toluene (10 mL) was added CSI (1
mmol) drop-wise over 2 min at room temperature and stirred for 30 min. The stirring of the reaction mixture
was continued for 60 min at 60 °C. Resulting precipitate was filtered of in satisfactory purity.
