Expeditious method for the synthesis of novel 2,3,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[g][1,3,5]oxadiazocine-4-thiones linked with isoxazole

Synthesis of novel 3-aryl-5-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)-2,3,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[g][1,3,5]oxadiazocine-4-thiones 5 has been accomplished from 3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-amine 1 by condensation with salicylaldehydes, followed by reduction, treatment with aryl isothiocyanates and subsequent smooth ring closure via acetal formation in the presence of formaldehyde.
