Abstract

Benzo-1,3,2-dithiazole-1,1-dioxides (BDTs) are novel 5-membered heterocycles bearing an internal sulfur-nitrogen bond and are structurally similar to benzoisothiazolones (BiTs). A new method for the synthesis of these molecules was developed and a series of BDTs were made and studied as potential BiT alternatives in organocatalytic redox-coupled, metal catalyzed dehydrative bond constructions. The BDTs could be synthesized via generation of a sulfenyl chloride from o-benzylthiobenzene sulfonamide followed by condensation with the adjacent nitrogen. The BDTs could react with carboxylic acids in a redox dehydration with triphenylphosphine or triethyl phosphite to generate BDT-derived thioesters. This reaction worked well with aliphatic acids and to a lesser extent with aromatic acids. These thioesters could then undergo coupling with boronic acids to give S-arylated products, but the reaction between BDT-derived thioester and amine gave only hydrolysis of the thioester with no desired amide formation. Finally, the reduced form of BDT, the o-mercaptobenzene sulfonamide, could be oxidized back to the BDT at temperatures above 100 oC in the presence of a variety of oxidants. Future work will be de done to assess the utility of BDTs as organocatalysts in redox dehydration reactions as well as explore other alternative applications.
