Abstract  The present work is devoted to the study of the reactivity of tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-b]isothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide framework. This scaffold possesses two reaction centers: the EWG-activated methylene group and the carbonyl functionality, which are the basic variation points. At the same time, the attached 3a-substituent had a significant impact on the course of the explored reactions and its role was also investigated. In this regard, the corresponding 3a-unsubstituted and 3a-methylated tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-b]isothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxides were chosen as model substances involved in chemical properties evaluation. With a view to pre-assess the activity of the model compounds, a deuteration study was conducted. Furthermore, the interaction with a variety of electrophilic and nucleophilic agents was explored. The most striking difference in the chemical behavior was observed in the reaction with the Wittig reagent triphenylcarbethoxymethylenephosphorane ­(Ph3P=CHCO2Me). In particular, unlike the 3a-unsubstituted substrate, the 3a-methylated one gave the unusual phosphonium betaine, namely 3a-methyl-2-[2-(triphenylphosphonio)acetyl]-3a,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-b]isothiazol-3-olate 1,1-dioxide. The proposed mechanistic insights of this reaction have been discovered. Graphic abstract

Sulfonamide motif is popular within medicinal chemistry, since it serves as a bioisosteric equivalent of the carboxamide group. The similarity between these two functionalities is based on the convergence of electronic and conformational aspects [1]. Another reason for remarkable applications of sulfonamide motif in the pharmaceutical industry [2–6] and materials science is their stability under physiological conditions. Only a few known enzymes can hydrolyze the S ­ O2–N bond [7]. The most well-known example of successful utilization of bioisosteric replacement in medical chemistry is prontosil [8], the first representative of marketed sulfa drugs
