Summary

3-Aryl-, 3-benzyl-, and 3H-5-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-2-thioxo-4-oxo-1,3-thiazolidines3a–h react with bromine in acetic acid solution to give mixtures of the respective 5-aroylmethylene (E) and (Z) diastereomeric derivatives5 and6. They contain more than 85% of the (E)-diastereomers along with some pure isomers. The intermediacy of the 5-bromo derivatives4 is proven and a plausible route of the reaction is presented. Structures of compounds3–6 are evidenced by analytical and spectral data.

Zusammenfassung

3-Aryl-, 3-Benzyl- und 3H-5-(2-Aryl-2-oxoethyl)-2-thioxo-4-oxo-1,3-thiazolidine3a–h reagieren mit Brom in essigsaurer Lösung zu Gemischen der entsprechenden diastereomeren 5-Arylmethylen-Derivate ((E) und (Z))5 und6. Sie enthalten mehr als 85% des (E)-Diastereomeren. Die intermediäre Natur der 5-Brom-Derivate4 wird bewiesen; ein Reaktionsweg wird vorgeschlagen. Die Strukturen der Verbindungen3–6 werden durch analytische und spektroskopische Daten abgesichert.
