Za. Hozien et al., Synthesis of spiroheterocycles related to spiro[fluren-9,2 '(1 ',3 '-oxathiolan)]-5 '-one and spiro[anthracen-9(10)H,2 '-(1 ',3 '-oxathiolan)]5 '-one, HETEROCYC C, 5(3), 1999, pp. 269-274
Interaction of thioglycolic acid with flourenone Ia and/or anthrone Ib affo
rded spiro[flourene-9,2'-(1',3'-oxathiolan)]5'-one (2a) and spiro[anthracen
e-9(10H), 2`-(1',3'-oxathiolan)]-5'-one (2b) respectively. Subsequent molec
ular condensation of 2a,b with primary (alkyl, aryl and heterocyclic)amines
, hydroxylamin hydrochloride and hydrzines gave the corresponding spiro thi
azolidine and spirothiadiazinone derivatives 3a,b-6a,b respectively.
