✦ Synopsis
The oxidation of the title compounds $4 and 7 with dimethyldioxirane @MD) afforded the corresponding sulfoxides 2, 5 and 8 and/or sulfones 3, 6 and 9 in good yields (Scheme 1 and 2). Excess diiethyldioxirane gave the sulfones chemoselectively without formation of the epoxides. The epoxidation of the sulfones 6a,b,d to the respective spiroepoxides lOa,b,d required the more reactive methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (TFD) as oxidant. Previously we have investigated the oxidation of aurones,' 3-aryfidenechromanones2 and 3-arylideneflavanones,' for which dimethyldioxirane proved to be a convenient oxygen transfer reagent in the preparation of aurone epoxides' and trans and cis spiroepoxides from Q-and (Z)-3-arylidenechromanones.r We provided a diasterwselective synthesis of trans,trans spiroepoxides from Q-3-arylideneflavanones both by isolated dimethyldioxirane and methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane~ however, attempted epoxidation of the Q-3-arylideneflavanones with these two dioxiranes afforded instead the 3-aroylflavones and/or 3-aroylflavanones in low yield.) The present paper reports the oxidation of the thio analogues of the abovementioned oxygen heterocycles with the same oxygen transfer reagents. s Q+
