Ring Contraction of 2,5-Dihydrobenzo[f][1,2,5]thiadiazepine 1,1-Dioxides: Access to 4H-Benzo[b][1,4]thiazine 1,1-Dioxides

Synthesis of chiral 1,4-oxazepane-5-carboxylic acids from polymer-supported homoserine

The preparation of novel 1,4-oxazepane-5-carboxylic acids bearing two stereocenters is reported in this article. Fmoc-HSe(TBDMS)-OH immobilized on Wang resin was reacted with different nitrobenzenesulfonyl chlorides and alkylated with 2-bromoacetophenones to yield N-phenacyl nitrobenzenesulfonamides. Their cleavage from the polymer support using trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) led to the removal of the silyl protective group followed by spontaneous lactonization. In contrast, TFA/triethylsilane (Et₃SiH)-mediated cleavage yielded 1,4-oxazepane derivatives as a mixture of inseparable diastereomers. The regioselectivity/stereoselectivity depended on the substitution of the starting 2-bromoacetophenones and was studied in detail. Catalytic hydrogenation of the nitro group improved the separability of the resulting diastereomeric anilines, which allowed us to isolate and fully characterize the major isomers.

Polymer-Supported Syntheses of Heterocycles Bearing Oxazine and Thiazine Scaffolds

In this review, we summarize synthetic approaches to preparing single or fused oxazine and thiazine derivatives using solid-phase synthesis (SPS). The literature survey revealed that diverse compounds bearing variously functionalized 1,2-oxazine, 1,3-oxazine, or 1,4-oxazine scaffolds and the corresponding thiazines are accessible by SPS. The latest contributions involving the stereoselective polymer-supported syntheses of morpholines indicate that the field is continuing to expand.

Polymer-Supported Stereoselective Synthesis of Benzoxazino[4,3-b][1,2,5]thiadiazepinone 6,6-dioxides

Herein, we report the stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted benzoxazino[4,3-b][1,2,5]thiadiazepinone 6,6-dioxides from polymer-supported Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH and Fmoc-Thr(tBu)-OH. After the solid-phase synthesis of N-alkylated-N-sulfonylated intermediates using various 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chlorides and bromoketones, the target compounds were obtained via trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)-mediated cleavage from the resin, followed by cyclization of the diazepinone scaffold. Except for the threonine-based intermediates, the inclusion of triethylsilane (TES) in the cleavage cocktail yielded a specific configuration of the newly formed C³ chiral center. The final cyclization resulted in minor or no inversion of the C^12a stereocenter configuration.

Carbodiimide insertion into sulfonimides: one-step route to azepine derivatives via a two-atom saccharin ring expansion

A previously unknown insertion of carbodiimides into sulfonimides enables the first one-step, two-atom expansion of the saccharin 5-membered ring into a 7-membered benzo[1,2,4]thiadiazepine, and a two-atom chain extension of a non-cyclic sulfonimide. This reaction is enhanced by copper salts, which allow it to be conducted mechanochemically, in a solvent-free manner.

N-Oxide as an Intramolecular Oxidant in the Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation: Synthesis of 2-Alkyl-2H-indazol-3-yl Benzoates and 2-Alkyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-indazol-3-ones

In this study, we describe the intramolecular Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of ketones to esters using N-oxide. 2-Nitro-N-alkyl-N-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)benzenesulfonamide compounds are known to undergo base-mediated C-arylation followed by N-N bond formation, producing unstable five-membered ring intermediates that spontaneously dehydrate to indazole oxides. We identified the reaction conditions under which the cyclic intermediate undergoes acid-mediated intramolecular Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of the ketone in which N-oxide serves as the intramolecular oxidizing agent. The solid-phase synthesis plays a critical role in the successful transformation, allowing rapid access to the unstable but Baeyer-Villiger oxidation-prone intermediate. This synthetic route provides practical access to 2-alkyl-2H-indazol-3-yl benzoates and 2-alkyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-indazol-3-ones, which are known privileged structures possessing remarkable diverse pharmacologically relevant activities.

Mining the Chemical Space: Application of 2/4-Nitrobenzenesulfonamides in Solid-Phase Synthesis

Polymer-supported benzenesulfonamides prepared from various immobilized primary amines and 2/4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride have been used as key intermediates in different chemical transformations, including unusual rearrangements to yield a number of diverse privileged scaffolds. This review summarizes individual strategies in their application to date.
