Summary

A general method for the formation of cyclic sulfenylated 2-oxazoline, 2-thiazolines, 5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazines, and 5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazines is described. The procedure employs arylsulfenyl chloride and ethyldiisopropylamine to generate an episulfonium ion intermediate from which the cyclic products arise by internal nucleophilic displacement.

Zusammenfassung

Eine allgemeine Methode zur Herstellung cyclischer sulfenylierter 2-Oxazoline, 2-Thiazoline, 5,6-Dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazine und 5,6-Dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazine wird beschrieben. Aus Arylsulfenylchlorid und Ethyldiisopropylamin entsteht ein Episulfoniumion als Zwischenprodukt; dieses bildet durch nucleophile Umlagerung die cyclischen Produkte.
