Sultam thioureas: Synthesis and antiviral activity against west nile virus

The syntheses of eleven sultam thioureas, including nine new compounds, are described. These compounds were synthesized from thioureas and include the first sultam thioureas in which the two thiourea nitrogen groups are not identical. In addition, the first X-ray crystal structures of sultam thioureas and the antiviral activity of these compounds against West Nile virus (WNV) are reported. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart New York.

Experimental and theoretical studies on the thermal decomposition of heterocyclic nitrosimines

A series of substituted 2-nitrosiminobenzothiazolines (2) were synthesized by the nitrosation of the corresponding 2-iminobenzothiazolines (6). Thermal decomposition of 2a-f and of the seleno analogue 7 in methanol and of 3-methyl-2-nitrosobenzothiazoline (2a) in acetonitrile, 1,4-dioxane, and cyclohexane followed first-order kinetics. The activation parameters for thermal deazetization of 2a were measured in cyclohexane (ΔH? = 25.3 ± 0.5 kcal/mol, ΔS? = 1.3 ± 1.5 eu) and in methanol (ΔH? = 22.5 ± 0.7 kcal/mol, ΔS? = -12.9 ± 2.1 eu). These results indicate a unimolecular decomposition and are consistent with a proposed stepwise mechanism involving cyclization of the nitrosimine followed by loss of N2. The ground-state conformations of the parent nitrosiminothiazoline (9a) and transition states for rotation around the exocyclic C=N bond, electrocyclic ring closure, and loss of N2 were calculated using ab initio molecular orbital theory at the MP2/6-31G* level. The calculated gas-phase barrier height for the loss of N2 from 9a (25.2 kcal/mol, MP4(SDQ, FC)/6-31G*//MP2/6-31G* + ZPE) compares favorably with the experimental barrier for 2a of 25.3 kcal/mol in cyclohexane. The potential energy surface is unusual; the rotational transition state 9a-rot-ts connects directly to the orthogonal transition state for ring-closure 9aTS. The decoupling of rotational and pseudopericyclic bond-forming transition states is contrasted with the single pericyclic transition state (15TS) for the electrocyclic ring-opening of oxetene (15) to acrolein (16). For comparison, the calculated homolytic strength of the N-NO bond is 40.0 kcal/mol (MP4(SDQ, FC)/6-31G* + ZPE).
