Abstract:
The hydrolytic imidazoline ring expansion (HIRE) methodology was extended to readily available tetracyclic [1,4]thiazepines as well as sulfoxide and sulfone analogs thereof. The reactions resulted in the facile formation of a rare medium-sized [1,4,7]thiazecine ring system that has an emerging utility in bioactive compound design. Comparing the HIRE rates for representative compounds in the three groups of substrates allowed drawing some generalizations about the substituent effects on the course of the reaction.

Phase I Reactions: Hydrolytic Reactions
An important hydrolytic reaction is ester hydrolysis. Ester bonds, often found in prodrugs, are broken down, increasing the solubility of drugs like aspirin and lidocaine for more straightforward elimination. Amide hydrolysis is another critical reaction, targeting amide bonds prevalent...
