Abstract:
This invention relates to a method of synthesizing certain 3-(carbocyclic aryl)-3-(4'-OP-carbocyclic aryl)-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides (and -2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,8-de]-1,2-thiazine-1,1-dioxides) by reacting (a) a 4-OP-carbocyclic aryllithium compound wherein P is a protecting group and (b) a 3-(carbocyclic aryl)benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide wherein said 3-(carbocyclic aryl) moiety is other than a 3-(4'-OP-carbocyclic aryl) moiety to give (c) the corresponding 3-carbocyclic aryl)-3-(4'-OP-carbocyclic aryl)-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide. The -2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,8-de]-1,2-thiazine-1,1-dioxides are prepared in the same manner by reacting a 3-(carbocyclic aryl)naphtho[1,8-de]-1,2-thiazine-1,1-dioxide with said 4'-OP-carbocyclic aryllithium compound. In a further embodiment, the compounds synthesized according to the foregoing method are reacted with a carboxylic acid halide to give the corresponding 2-carbonyl-substituted 2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide (or -2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,8-de]-1,2-thiazine-1,1-dioxides) followed by removing the protecting group, P, with weak acid to yield certain phenol and 1-naphthol sulfam(na)phthaleins useful, e. g. , as optical filter agents and filter agent precursors in photography.
