Abstract
Intramolecular cyclization of 4-aryl-N-(thiophen-3-yl)but-3-enamides on heating in polyphosphoric acid afforded 8-aryl-4,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5H-thieno[3,2-b]azepin-5-ones and 5-aryl-1-(thiophen-3-yl)pyrrolidin-2-ones. Cyclofunctionalization of the title compounds with (chlorosulfanyl)benzene and 4-(chlorosulfanyl)-toluene led to the formation of 8-aryl-7-arylsulfanyl-4,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5H-thieno[3,2-b]azepin-5-ones or their mixtures with 5-aryl-4-arylsulfanyltetrahydrofuran-2-ones. 1-(Chlorosulfanyl)-4-nitrobenzene reacted with 4-(4-methylphenyl)-N-(thiophen-3-yl)but-3-enamide and 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-(thiophen-3-yl)but-3-enamide to give 5-(4-methylphenyl)-4-(4-nitrophenylsulfanyl)-1-(thiophen-3-yl)pyrrolidin-2-one and 5-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(4-nitrophenylsulfanyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-one, respectively.
