The title compounds were obtained by cycloaddition of sulfene to N,N-disubstituted 3-amino-1-phenyl-2-propen-1-ones and to 2-metbylphenylaminomethylenecycloalkanones, respectively. Steric and electronic aspects of these reactions, as well as the failure of cycloaddition in the case of N,N-disubstituted 4-arnino-3-buten-2-ones, are also discussed.

Compounds III afforded the title compounds IV by dehydrogenation with DDQ. In the cycloaddition step, 3-phenylangelicin V, whose structure was confirmed by 1H-nmr shift reagents data and by X-ray crystal structure determination, was almost always formed, probably starting from II by dehydrochlorination, dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of the disubstituted amino group. Separation of V was achieved by alumina chromatography either in the cycloaddition step or, in most cases, in the dehydrochlorination step. 3-Phenylangelicin crystallizes in the trigonal system, space group R3, with cell parameters (hexagonal axes) a = b = 41.021(10), c = 3.888(2) A.

The by-product of the cycloaddition reaction was the N,N-Disubstituted dichloroacetamide, the formation of which varies according to the substituents on the nitrogen atom.

Dehydrochlorination with triethylamine of II afforded N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano-[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-ones III in good to moderate yields. In the triethylamine treatment of IIh (NR2 = diphenylamino), 3-chloro-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-d]-1-benzoxepin-2-one was isolated in low yield near to IIIh, whereas IIc (NR2 = diisopropylamino) gave in low yield 4-diisopropylamino-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrano(3,2-d)-1-benzoxepin-2-one.
