Abstract

Syntheses of substituted, especially of fluoro substituted benzoxathiole 1,1-dioxides, are described. These derivatives were transformed via the Peterson olefination into substituted 2-alkylidene derivatives 27. Diels-Alder reactions of 27 with 1,1-dimethoxy- and 1-methoxy-3-trimethylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene (30, 32) gave sulfone analogues 31 of griseofulvin (named sulfogriseofulvins). From Z-27, a number of cis-isomers with the relative stereochemistry of griseofulvin (cis-31) was prepared, and from E-isomers of 27, compounds (trans-31) with relative stereochemistry of epigriseofulvin were obtained. Some related compounds (33, 38) are synthesized by slight modifications. The stereochemistry is established by spectroscopic methods and crystal structure analyses. The compounds 31 were tested against three species of dermatophytes. The biological activities were all significantly lower than that of griseofulvin.
