Subsequent reaction of the obtained compounds with α-chloroacetamide led to 5-methyl-5H,13H-5,13-methanonaphtho[1,2-g] thiazolo[2,3-d][1,3,5] oxadiazocin-1(2H)-ones, which were converted to the Z-isomers of 2-arylylidene-5H,13H-5,13methanonaphtho[1,2-g]thiazolo[2,3-d][1,3,5]oxadiazocin-1(2H)-one derivatives by reaction with arylaldehydes. The structures of the products were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra, and X-ray analysis. cm À1 . 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 ): δ = 1.30 (t, J = 7.1 Hz, 3H); 1.88 (s, 3H); 3.32 (d, J = 2.3 Hz, 1H); 3.75, 3.84 (two d, J 1 = J 2 = 16.9 Hz, 2H); 4.24 (m, 2H); 6.24 (d, J = 2.3 Hz, 1H); 7.08 (d, J = 9.1 Hz, 1Н); 7.38 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 1H); 7.57 (t, J = 7.3 Hz, 1H); 7.73 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 1H); 7.76 (d, J = 7.7 Hz, 1H); 8.46 (d, J = 8.3 Hz, 1H). cm À1 . 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 ): δ = 1.77 (s, 3H); 3.75, 3.90 (two d, J 1 = J 2 = 17.4 Hz, 2H); 4.41 (d, J = 2.3 Hz, 1H); 6.19 (d, J = 1.8 Hz, 1H); 7.15 (d, J = 9.1 Hz,1Н); 7.39 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 1H); 7.48-7.56 (m, 3H); 7.63 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 1H); 7.77-7.80 (m, 2H); 7.96 (d, J = 7.3 Hz, 2H); 8.42 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 1H).The synthesis of 8a-c and 9a-c (general procedure). A mixture of compound 6 or 7 (0.7 mmol), aromatic aldehyde (0.9 mmol), 2-PrOH (5 mL), and several drops of НСООН were heated under reflux for 15-20 h. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was recrystallized from 2-PrOH-chloroform.
