Abstract
3-Chloro-2-phenyl-6-p-tolyl and 3-chloro-2,6-di-p-tolyl-4H-thiopyran-4-ones have been synthesized in moderate yieldes from the reaction of 3-chloro-tetrahydrothiopyran-4-ones with phosphorus pentachloride. Their thiones, oximes, and hydrazones have been also prepared. Treatment of thiones with malononitrile gave the corresponding 3-chloro-4-thiopyrylidenemalononitriles which gave 3-chloro-spirothiopyran derivatives of pyrazole, isoxazole, 1,3-thiazines when treated with hydrazine hydrate, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, thiourea and thiosemicarbazide, respectively. While treatment of 3-chloro-thiopyrylidene-malononitriles with acetylacetone gave the corresponding 3-chloro-spirothiopyran derivatives of pyran.
