Construction of thiazines and oxathianes via [3 + 3] annulation of N-tosylaziridinedicarboxylates and oxiranes with 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol: application towards the synthesis of bioactive molecules

Abstract

Lewis acid catalyzed [3 + 3] annulation of N-tosylaziridinedicarboxylates and oxiranes with in situ generated mercaptoaldehyde for the synthesis of functionalized thiazine and oxathiane derivatives has been developed. Additionally, this method facilitates the derivatization of thiazines by detosylation and Krapcho monodecarboxylation.
