Fused Heterocyclic Systems Derived from 2,6-Diaryl-3,5-dibenzylidenetetrahydro-4H-thiopyran-4-ones

Abstract

The reaction of 2,6-diphenyl and 2,6-di-p-tolyltetrahydro-4H-thiopyran-4-ones with benzaldehyde afforded 2,6-diphenyl and 2,6-di-p-tolyl-3,5-dibenzy-lidenetetrahydro-4H-thiopyran-4-ones, which, on treatment with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, hydrazine hydrate and thiourea, gave thiopyrano[4,3-c]isoxazole, thiopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazole and thiopyrano[4,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, respectively. Also, the reaction of dibenzylidenetetrahydrothiopyran-4-ones with malononitrile in piperidine and malononitrile in ammonim acetate afforded thiopyrano[4,3-b]pyran and thiopyrano[4,3-b]pyridine derivatives, respectively, while treatment with ethyl acetoacetate gave acetyl thiopyrano[4,3-b]pyran derivatives. On the other hand, treatment of 2,6-diphenyl and 2,6-di-p-tolyltetrahydro-4H-thiopyran-4-ones with elemental sulfur and malononitrile in the presence of diethylamine gave thieno[2,3-c]thiopyran derivatives. Structures of all compounds were confirmed from their spectral and analytical data.
