Dedicated to Professor Heinrich Nˆth on the occasion of his 75th birthdayThe title compounds were prepared starting from the dihydropyrrolones 4 ± 6. Nucleophilic displacement and ring closure yielded the 1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]isothiazol-5(4H)-ones 8 and 10. The fused systems formed salts with strong acids and electrophiles (15, 16), as well as with bases. Oxidation led either to S(2)-oxides (18a, 20a) or to the corresponding bicyclic sultams (18b, 20b), depending on the reaction conditions. The sulfinamide 18a was also obtained from the known 1,2-dithiolopyrrolone S-oxide 21 by a ring-opening/ring-closure reaction sequence. O-Methylation of 8 furnished the −azafulvene× 17. The oxidative addition of [Pt(h 2 -C 2 H 4 )L 2 ] (24a: L Ph 3 P, 24b: L 1/2 dppf, 24c: L 1/2 (R,R)-diop) to 18a and 20a led to the cis-amido-sulfenato Pt complexes 25 and 26a ± c, respectively.
