The new thioamides 2-oxoindane-1-carbothioamides and 2-oxo-1,2,3,4- tetrahydronaphthalene-1-carbothioamides underwent conjugated addition to (E)-β-nitrostyrenes followed by cyclization to give products containing 5-hydroxyimino-2-aryliminothiophene rings spiro-annulated to the 2-indanone or 2-tetralone system. On treatment with hydrochloric acid in boiling methanol the compounds underwent a new rearrangement, involving transformation of the 2-aryliminothiophene ring to a pyrrole and an opening of the alicyclic ring in the proximity of the carbonyl group, affording 2-(1,3-diaryl-2-oxo-5- thioxopyrrol-4-yl)benzeneacetic or 2-(1,3-diaryl-2-oxo-5-thioxopyrrol-4-yl) benzenepropanoic acid methyl esters. The structures of two selected pyrrole derivatives were determined by X-ray crystal analyses. The thioamides derived from 2-indanone showed unexpected reactivity towards primary alcohols and underwent conversion to 2-hydroxy-1H-indene-3-thiocarboxylic acid O-esters.
