Synthesis and X-ray analysis of butyl and glycosyl (2-arylamino-4,4-dimethyl-6-oxocyclohex-1-ene)carbodithioates and their possible cyclization to 2-thioxo-6,7-dihydro-1H-benzo[d][1,3]thiazin-5(2H)-one derivatives.

Variety of butyl [2-arylamino-4,4-dimethyl-6-oxo-cyclohex-1-ene]carbodithioates (3a-c), 2-thioxo-6,7-dihydro-1H-benzo[d][1,3]thiazin-5(2H)-one derivatives (5a-c), and the glucosyl carbodithioates 6a-c as well as galactosyl carbodithioates 7a-c have been synthesized from the reaction of enaminone derivatives 1a-c with carbon disulfide followed by the alkylation with n-butyl bromide and α-d-glycosyl bromides, respectively. The amount of carbon disulfide plays a great role in the mode of reaction. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by spectral data and X-ray crystallography. 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
