The quaternary pyridinium salts Ia-Ic react with alkaline solution of potassium ferricyanide to give the condensed heterocyclic derivatives IIIa, b, IV, whereas the salts Id-If give the pyrrole derivatives IIa-IIc under the same conditions. The diaza heterocycle IIIa reacts with methyl iodide to give methoiodide V, whereas by action of bromine it produces two monobromo derivatives VIa, b. The pyrrole derivatives IIa, b give monobromo derivatives IId, e on bromination. A probable mechanism of formation of the heterocyclic derivatives is discussed.

A high-yielding cyclocondensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin, phenylglyoxal monohydrate, and heteroarylamines proceeds without catalysis, which gives novel functionalized furo[3,2-c]coumarins and heteroarylamino alkylation of coumarin products in acetonitrile under reflux, is reported for the first time. This tandem process involves sequentially an aldol condensation, Michael addition, a ring closure, and dehydration reaction.

gem-Dimethyl substitution at C3 enhances the preference for β-lactone formation from 2-chlorosuccinate but methylation at C2 almost favours α-lactone.

Thione S-methylide (TSM), the parent species of the thiocarbonyl ylide family, is a 1,3-dipolar, planar species on the [C2SH4] potential energy surface (PES), which has not shared the richness of studies dedicated to its isomers, the cyclic thiirane (THI), and the keto-enol pair vinyl thiol (VTH)/thioacetaldehyde (THA). While the conrotatory ring closure reaction toward THI was studied in the ‘90s, no complete analysis of the PES is available in the literature. In the present paper, we report a computational study of the reaction scheme linking all species on that PES. We employ several levels of calculation, ranging from density functional theory (DFT), through CCSD(T) based composite schemes, to CASSCF/CASPT2 multi-reference procedures, to find the best description of TSM, its isomers, and the transition states (TSs) ruling their interconversion. Fragmentation of TSM, THA and THI were investigated and compared to the available experimental information. We found that the B2PLYP-D3 functional, contrary to M06-2XD3 or B97X-D, describes well the geometry of both TSM and the transition state connecting it to THI. The reverse barrier, from THI to TSM, amounts to 52.2 kcal mol-1 (to be compared to 17.6 kcal mol-1 for the direct one), thus explaining why, in general, thiocarbonyl ylides cannot be prepared from thiiranes. Conversion of THI to VTH implies also a large barrier, explaining why the reaction has been observed only at high temperatures. The fragmentation of THI to S(3P) or S(1D) and ethylene was also explored, together with the decomposition to H2S plus acetylene. Open species, both in triplet and singlet states, were identified as intermediates in the fragmentations, and their energies were found to be lower than the transition state for the isomerization of THI to VTH, thus explaining the preference for fragmentation over isomerization at relatively low temperatures.
