Substituted 1,2-Thiazetidine 1,1-Dioxides. Synthesis and Properties of N-Alkylated and N-Acylated Derivatives of 1,2-Thiazetidine-3-acetic Acid 1,1-Dioxide

Summary.

1,2-Thiazetidine-3-acetic acid 1,1-dioxide was N-alkylated using bromoacetates, and N-acylated using either acyl chlorides, protected amino acid fluorides, or N-protected amino acid NCA, which seemed to be the most universal method. Most of the obtained “β-sultam peptides” were sensitive against humidity, they hydrolyzed forming sulfonic acids, and reactions with amines resulted in sulfonamides. Reactions of N-acylated products showed that the sulfonyl group was faster attacked than the imide structure.
