1 Introduction
The chemistry of 2-alkylidenethiazolidin-4-one compounds has been extensively studied over the years. These compounds can be used for the synthesis of diverse functionalized molecules, depending on the substituent of the alkylidene part [1], and scaffolds prepared using these compounds have shown to exhibit various biological properties [2]. However, the synthetic applications of 2-phenylsulfonylmethylenethiazolidin-4-one are rare in the literature comparing to those of 2-alkylidenethiazolidin-4-ones [3]. This has encouraged us to investigate this substituent in multicomponent reactions, since phenylsulfonyl substituent increases biological activity in some heterocyclic compounds [4].
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) play a significant role to synthesize complex molecules [5] by reacting at least three reagents in one pot. Mild reaction conditions and easy purification steps attracted attention to these kinds of reactions, and placed them into one of the green chemistry routes [6]. Recently, we have reported the multicomponent reactions of 2-nitromethylenethiazolidine with various active methylene, containing nitriles and a broad range of aldehydes [7]. In continuation of our interest in heterocyclic enamine chemistry [8], we now report multicomponent reactions of 2-phenylsulfonylmethylenethiazolidin-4-one with various aromatic aldehydes and malonitrile. We found that two different products could be obtained depending on the equivalence of the aldehyde.
2 Results and discussion
2-Phenylsulfonylmethylenethiazolidin-4-one was prepared according to a literature procedure [3a], and identified by means of m.p., IR, 1H and 13C NMR. After reviewing related alkylidenethiazolidin-4-ones and alkylidenepyrrolidine ester and nitrile geometries in previous publications [9], we have decided to draw the double bond geometry of the starting compound 1 Z isomer rather than E isomer. Multicomponent reactions of 2-phenylsulfonylmethylene thiazolidin-4-one with malonitrile and aromatic aldehydes were performed in anhydrous acetonitrile at reflux temperature, and monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC). After 1 h, no 2-phenylsulfonylmethylene thiazolidin-4-one remained on the TLC plate, which is indicative of the completion of reaction. The reactions proceeded rapidly and afforded the corresponding thiazolopyridin-4-ones 4a–f and benzylidene thiazolopyridin-4-ones 5a–g in high yields. The results shown in Tables 1 and 2 clearly indicate the scope and generality of the reaction with respect to aldehydes and malononitrile. The reactions worked efficiently with a variety of aldehydes including both electron-releasing and hetero-aromatic groups. Additionally, aforementioned reactions were also performed in water as a solvent and without use of solvent via solid state reaction. In both cases desired products were not obtained.

The reactions (Tables 1 and 2) proceed through the Knoevenagel condensation of the aldehyde with malononitrile, and then the addition of benzylidenemalononitrile 6 to enamine 1 followed by secondary amine attacks to one of nitrile on benzylidenemalononitrile 6 ends with ring cyclization. In our previous work, when 2-alkylidenethiazolin reacted with 2-phenylsulfonylacetonitrile and aldehyde, a mixture of enamine 4, and imine 8 tautomers was obtained [7]. In the present work, we obtained compound 4 as a sole product (Scheme 1).

Possible reaction mechanism for the formation of compounds 4.
When two equivalents of aldehyde were used, benzylidene substituted 5-amino-7-aryl-3-oxo-8-(phenylsulfonyl)-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine-6-carbonitriles were observed in moderate to high yields as shown in Table 2. It was also found that there was no direct effect of the stoichiometric amount of Et3N as a base to the MCR yield of 2-phenylsulfonylmethylene thiazolidin-4-one with malononitrile and aldehyde.
In infrared spectra of compounds 4a–f and 5a–g, sulfone groups showed two strong bands due to asymmetric stretching at ca. 1307–1329 cm−1 and symmetric stretching at ca. 1144–1154 cm−1. Bands at ca. 3312–3439 cm−1 are ascribed to NH2 groups. Stretching vibrations of carbonyl groups appeared at ca. 1658–1743 cm−1 and distinct cyano peaks were observed at ca. 2189–2201 cm−1. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of compounds 4a–f and 5a–g were recorded in d6-DMSO and gave good results, although the peak due to adventitious water in the d6-DMSO obscured the one of OCH3 resonance in compound 5f in one case, the resulting proton, carbon NMR spectra as well as HRMS confirmed the expected structure 5f. The signals due to the NH2 protons appeared at ca. δ 7.08–7.55 ppm, but in some cases (compounds 4c, 5g, 5b) NH2 proton resonances overlapped with aromatic protons and they were not easily detectable. The chemical shifts of 4a–f CHAr protons showed remarkable differences (δ 5.02–5.92 ppm) compared with CHAr protons 5a–f (δ 4.49–4.70 ppm) due to the substitution of the benzylidene groups on the thiazoline fused to pyridine ring. Carbonyl carbons of compounds 5a–g showed more deshielded peaks than that of the compounds 4a–f due to electron-withdrawing effects of the benzylidene group next to carbonyl group in compounds 5a–g. In mass spectra of compounds 5e and 5f, loss of M-Ar peaks 25 and 15% were obtained, respectively.
3 Conclusion
In summary, we have achieved the synthesis of thirteen novel phenylsulfonyl substitute thiazolopyridin-4-ones via multicomponent reactions and identified these compounds by means of spectroscopic methods.
