N,N-dialkyl-N′-chlorosulfonyl chloroformamidines 1 reacted with pyrazol-3-ones 2 under a variety of conditions to give pyrazolo[2,3-e][1,2,3,5]oxathiadiazine dioxides 3 and pyrazolo[3,2-b][1,4,3,5]oxathiadiazine dioxides 5, and frequently, one or both of pyrazolo[1,2-b][1,2,3,5]thiatriazole 1,1,5-trioxides 4 and 1,1,7-trioxides 6. In all reactions, the pyrazolo[3,2-b][1,4,3,5]oxathiadiazine 5 was the major product, with the pyrazolo[2,3-e][1,2,3,5]oxathiadiazine 3 being a significant product in the absence of base. Prior to our recent work, the core ring systems of compounds 3 and 5 had not been reported and compounds 4 and 6 are new derivatives of a rare ring system.
