Four examples of the chiral thiazolidin-2-one 1,1-dioxides 5 have been prepared by reaction of the appropriate amino alcohols 11 with CS2 in aqueous sodium hydroxide to give the thiazolidine-2-thiones 12, followed by oxidation with KMnO4 under phase-transfer conditions in the presence of benzoic acid, either directly or via the thiazolidin-2-ones 13. Upon flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) at 650°C, 5a-c decompose mainly by loss of SO2 to give an alkene and benzyl isocyanate together with other products from fragmentation of the N-benzyl group. A significant minor pathway involves net loss of CO2 and water to give the 2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrothiazoles 21 together with their aromatisation products 22 and 23. A mechanism for this new heterocyclic transformation is proposed involving initial expansion to a cyclic carbamic-sulnnic anhydride (2,1,4-oxathiazin-3-one 1-oxide). The fully assigned 13C NMR spectra are presented for 5, 12 and 13 and the 33S NMR spectrum has been obtained for 5c.
