Synthesis of some derivatives of the pyridazino[4,5-b][1,5]thiazepine
ring system is reported. Thus, 8-methyl-2-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-5H
-pyridazino [4,5-b][1,5]thiazepin-9(8H)-one (5) was prepared by an int
ramolecular S-alkylation reaction, whereas the thiazepine ring of sulf
one analogue 21, and that of the novel tricyclic pyrrolidino fused rin
g system 22 was elaborated by an intramolecular C-alkylation reaction.
Unexpected formation of bicyclic pyrido- and thiazine fused pyridazin
e systems are also discussed.
