A. Otto et J. Liebscher, Synthesis of optically active hydroxyalkylbenzothiazepinones by ring transformation of 2-alkylidenelactons with o-aminothiophenol, J HETERO CH, 37(4), 2000, pp. 891-894
A stereoselective synthesis of new optically active 3-(hydroxyalkyl)-2,3-di
hydro-1,5-benzothiazepin-4ones 4 and 7 was achieved by Michael-like additio
n of o-aminothiophenol to chiral alpha-alkylidenelactons 1 and 5 followed b
y ring chain transformation of the resulting adducts 3 and 6.
