Amino alcohol-derived thiazolidinethiones [4-(S)-IPTT, 4(S)-ETT] serve as efficient chiral auxiliary in tin medicated aldol condensation. A highly enantioselective aldol-type reaction forming various ${\beta}$-hydroxy carbonyl compounds from 3-acetylthiazolidine-2-thione and achiral aldehyde is achieved via divalent tin enolate. The other advantages of these chiral auxiliaries were the ease of removal by methanolysis.

The stereochemistry of 1,3-thiazolidine sulfoxides 1 in which 3 chiral centres are present in a molecule was elucidated by deuterium exchange and trapping reactions. 3-Acetoxy-1,3-thiazolidines 5 was oxidized to 6 and 8, corresponding $\alpha$-cis 10, $\alpha$-trans 11, $\beta$ -cis 12, and $\beta$ -trans 13 isomers were separated from their diasteromeric mixtures. Sulfoxide 10 was isomerized to more thermodynamically stable isomer 13 under neutral conditions in refluxing benzene or toluene. The methyl hydrogens of 2-methyl group in the sulfoxide 13 and those of the sulfoxide 11 were deuterated by the deuterium incorporation reactions. The intermediate sulfenic acids 25 and 26 derived from the sulfoxides 10 and 12 via sigmatropic rearrangement were trapped by 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) to give disufides 27 and 28 respectively. However, the sulfoxides 11 and 13 were transformed to ring expansion product dihydro-1,4-thiazine 29 under the same reaction conditions. In the presence of acid catalyst, the sulfoxides 10, 11, and 12 were converted to dihydro-1,4-thiazine 29 through the sulfoxide 13 quantitatively. The mechanisms of isomerization of sulfoxides and the formation of 29 were also discussed.

4-Acetyl-5,6-dihydro-2-methyl-1,4-thiazine carboxylic acid derivatives 24 were prepared by ring expansion of corresponding thiazolidine sulfoxides. Oxidation of 2-methyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2-acetic acid derivatives 12 gave a mixture of cis and trans sulfoxides, 14 and 15. Assignments of the cis and trans sulfoxides were based on the $^1HNMR$ and IR spectroscopy and regioselectivity of deuterium exchange reaction. With PTSA as acid catalyst both the cis and trans sulfoxide, 14 and 15 were transformed via sulfenic acid 18 to dihydro-1,4-thiazine 24. However, under the neutral conditions (in DMF at $100^{\circ}C$) the trans sulfoxides 15 rearranged via sulfenic acid 21 to isomeric dihydrothiazines 27. The mechanism of formations of 24 and 27 is also discussed.
