Synthesis and structure-activity studies of antibacterial oxazolidinones containing dihydrothiopyran or dihydrothiazine C-rings.

摘要

A new series of antimicrobial oxazolidinones bearing unsaturated heterocyclic C-rings is described. Dihydrothiopyran derivatives were prepared from the saturated tetrahydrothiopyran sulfoxides via a Pummerer-rearrangement/elimination sequence. Two new synthetic approaches to the dihydrothiazine ring system were explored, the first involving a novel trifluoroacetylative-detrifluoroacetylative Pummerer-type reaction sequence and the second involving direct dehydrogenation of tetrahydrothiopyran S,S-dioxide intermediates. Final analogs such as 4 and 13 represent oxidized congeners of recent pre-clinical and clinical oxazolidinones.
