1 Arylidene pyruvic acids motif in the synthesis of new 2H,5H-chromeno[4′,3′:4,5]thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazoles via tandem hetero-Diels-Alderhemiacetal reaction
AbstractWe have developed a tandem hetero-Diels-Alder-hemiacetal reaction using arylidene pyruvic acids with 5-(ortho-hydroxybenzylidene)-substituted 4-thioxo-2-thiazolidinones, leading to 6-hydroxy-2-oxo-5-phenyl-3,5a,6,11b-tetrahydro-2H,5H-chromeno[4',3':4,5]thiopyrano[2,3-d][1,3]thiazole-6-carboxylic acids. The stereochemistry of cycloaddition was confirmed by NMR spectra and a single crystal Xray diffraction analysis.
