Description

(54) NOVEL I,3-OXOTHIOLANE SULPHOXIDES AND THEIR USE IN THE PREPARATION OF 5,6-DIHYDRO-2-METHYL- I ,4-OXATHIIN DERIVATIVES (71) I, WHA SUK LEE, a citizen of the Republic of Korea, of 678 Portage Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, do hereby declare the invention, for which I pray that a Patent may be granted to me, and the method by which it is to be performed to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- This invention relates to a new and improved method of preparing 5,6 dihydro - 2 - methyl - 1,4 - oxathiin derivatives represented by the formula:
wherein X is an amino or alkoxy group. The amino group may be primary, secondary or tertiary, and the alkyl moiety of the alkoxy group may be primary, secondary or tertiary. It is apparent that the derivatives I may represent 5,6 dihydro - 2 - methyl - 1,4 - oxathiin - 3 - carboxamides (Ia) when X is the amino group, and 5,6 - dihydro - 2 - methyl - 1,4 - oxathiin - 3 - carboalkoxides (Ib) when X is the alkoxy group.
The compounds Ia and Ib are known chemicals having been described in U.S.
Patents 3,249,499 and 3,393,202, and in Canadian Patents 787,893 and 791,151.
5,6 - Dihydro - 2 - methyl - 1,4 - oxathiin - 3 - carboxamides (Ia) have been described as having fungicidal and bactericidal properties. The compounds Ib are also useful chemicals as these can be converted to compounds Ia.
The prior art preparation of 5,6 - dihydro - 2 - methyl - 1,4 - oxathiin - 3 carboxamides (Ia) has been effected by two methods. The first method has included (1) converting acetoacetamide to alpha-chloroacetoacetamide, (2) reacting this with 2 - mercaptoethanol in a mutual solvent in the presence of a base, (3) subjecting the resulting product to acidic conditions whereby it cyclizes with loss of water to form 5,6 - dihydro - 2 - methyl - 1,4 - oxathiin - 3 carboxamide (Ia) and (4) isolating said product from the reaction mixture. The second method of preparing same has used alkyl acetoacetate in place of acetoacetamide as a starting material. Thus, from the procedure analogous to the first method described above, the resulting 5,6 - dihydro - 2 - methyl - 1,4 oxathiin - 3 - carboalkoxide (Ib) was converted to 5,6 - dihydro - 2 - methyl 1,4 - oxathiin - 3 - carboxamide (Ia).
The prior art process as generally outlined above is subject to certain disadvantages. One disadvantage of the prior art process is that the first method described above is sensitive to side reaction and the yields of 5,6 - dihydro - 2 methyl - 1,4 - oxathiin - 3 - carboxamides (Ia) obtained by such method are lower than desired. Another disadvantage is that, in the first and second methods described above, the preparation of alphahaloacetoacetamide or alkyl alpha haloacetoacetate is a somewhat inconvenient step, and overall the yield of 5,6 dihydro - 2 - methyl - 1,4 - oxathiin - 3 - carboxamide (Ia) via the second method is relatively low.
It is'an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved method for preparing 5,6 - dihydro - 2 - methyl - 1,4 - oxathiin derivatives (I).
It is another object of the present invention to provide methods of preparing the sulfoxides of 1,3 - oxathiolane derivatives, which can be simply and efficiently converted to 5,6 - dihydro - 2 - methyl - 1,4 - oxathiin derivatives (I).
These and other objects of the present invention are achieved in accordance with the present invention which provides a process of preparing a 5,6 - dihydro 2 - methyl - 1,4 - oxathiin derivative of the formula (I), wherein X is an amino group having the formula,
wherein R and R' are the same or different and each represents hydrogen, phenyl, alkyl having up to 15 carbon atoms, cyclohexyl, nitrophenyl, alkoxyphenyl in which the alkoxy group has up to 4 carbon atoms, benzyl, carboxyphenyl, furfuryl, halophenyl, tolyl, naphthyl, biphenyl or hydroxyphenyl; or X is an alkoxy group OR", in which R" is a primary, secondary or tertiary alkyl group having up to 6 carbon atoms; comprising subjecting a 1,3 - oxathiolane sulfoxide of the formula
wherein X is as defined above, in a solvent to slightly acidic conditions whereby ring expansion takes place via a sulfenic acid intermediate to form compound I with loss of water, and subsequently isolating this from the resulting mixture.
The 1,3 - oxathiolane sulfoxide of formula (V) may readily be prepared by reacting a 1,3 - oxathiolane of the formula
wherein X is as defined hereinbefore, with an organic peracid, hydrogen peroxide or other oxidizing agent in a solvent to form sulfoxide V, and subsequently isolating said sulfoxide V from the resulting mixture. Ideally the isolated 1,3 - oxathiolane sulfoxide of formula V is separated into the cis and trans isomers Va and Vb, respectively, of the formula
by thin layer or column chromatography using silica gel and chloroform-methanol -as a developing solvent.
The process of the invention, represented by the follo.wing.equations, involves preparing the appropriate 1,3 - oxathiolane sulfoxide V, and then subjecting this sulfoxide to a ring expansion reaction.
In the above equations X is an amino group having the formula,
wherein R and R' are the same or different and each represents hydrogen, phenyl, alkyl having up to 15 carbon atoms, cyclohexyl, nitrophenyl, alkoxyphenyl in which the alkoxy group has up to 4 carbon atoms, benzyl, carboxyphenyl, furfurvl.
halophenyl, tolyl, naphthyl, biphenyl or hydroxyphenyl; or X is an alkoxy group -OR", in which R" is a primary, secondary or tertiary alkyl group having up to 6 carbon atoms.
A 1,3 - oxathiolane derivative IV, which is an ethylene hemithioketal of the carbonyl compound III, can be prepared by reacting a compound of formula III with 2 - mercaptoethanol (II) in the presence of an acid catalyst in a refluxing solvent such as benzene or ether. The compounds of formula IV are described and claimed in my copending application No. 17939/78, (Serial No. 1594449). The sulfoxidation of 1,3 - oxatholane IV may be carried out with an organic peracid or hydrogen peroxide in methylene chloride, chloroform or acetic acid at a temperature of from 0 to 200 C. It has been found in the present invention that the sulfoxide V thus formed is a mixture of cis and trans isomeric sulfoxides Va and Vb as shown in the formula below.
In sulfoxide Va, the SeO bond and
group are cis to each other and in sulfoxide Vb these two groups are trans to each other. These isomeric sulfoxides can be identified from the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic data and other physical and chemical properties of the compounds. If desired, these isomers can be separated by column or preparative thin layer chromatography.
1,3 - Oxathiolane sulfoxides V are new compounds, and since they are valuable intermediates in the process of this invention, they also form part of the invention.
It has been also found in the present invention that both the sulfoxides Va and Vb undergo facile rearrangement under very mild conditions to give a 5,6 dihydro - 2 - methyl - 1,4 - oxathiin derivative I. The ring expansion reaction can be conducted preferably in solution in the presence of an acid catalyst at a temperature of from 25 to 1000C. The acid catalysts employed are organic acids such as p - toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, and the suitable solvents are dimethylformide, dimethylacetamide, benzene, chloroform and methylene chloride. The reaction may proceed through intermediates VI and VII, neither of which need be isolated. The internal alkene-sulfenic acid intermediate VI readily cyclizes to VII. The intermediate VII is dehydrated readily to yield the desired product I under slightly acidic conditions. The dehydration is facilitated by heating, and particularly by heating under reflux conditions to drive off the water formed, conveniently as an azeotrope with benzene.
The following examples illustrate in more detail the practice of the invention.
It will be understood that the invention is not confined to the specific limitations set forth in the following examples but rather, to the scope of the appended claims.

The water collected was 1.8 ml. (theory 1.8 ml.). The benzene solution was cooled, washed with sodium bicarbonate solution and water, dried (MgSO4) and decolorized (charcoal). Solvent was evaporated at 400C under reduced pressure to give gummy residue (24.7 g.).
