DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The compounds of formula I can be prepared by reacting a 2-sulfamoylaniline having the structural formula ##STR3## with a carbonyl derivative (or an acetal or ketal derivative thereof) having the structural formula ##STR4## or an acetal or ketal having the structural formula ##STR5## wherein R.sub.a and R.sub.b are each alkyl or together they are --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -- or --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --. The reaction is conveniently run in an organic solvent, and proceeds most readily under reflux conditions.

Variations of the above process for ring closure of a 2-sulfamoylaniline are known in the art; see, for example, Angew. Chem. Internat. Edit. 1(5):235(1962) and Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chem. Tech. Third Ed., 8, 1 (1977), Wiley, New York. Processes for the preparation of 2-sulfamoylanilines are also described in these references.

The starting materials of formula III can be prepared by reacting an .alpha., .beta.-unsaturated aldehyde or ketone having the formula ##STR6## with the appropriate thiol acid having the formula ##STR7## The above reaction is described in J. Chem. Soc. 2123 (1951) and Houben-Weyl, Ketones, Part III, 2401, 1977, G. Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1977.

The starting materials of formula IV can be prepared by acylating a mercapto acetal or ketal having the formula ##STR8## with an acid (or corresponding acid halide or acid anhydride) having the formula ##STR9## The above reaction is described in Houben-Weyl, Sulfur Compounds, Vol. IX, 749, G. Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1955.

The compounds of formula I are useful therapeutic agents in mammalian species. They promote the urinary excretion of water and sodium ion. As diuretics, they are useful in the treatment of edematous states, e.g., edematous states associated with renal dysfunction, with congestive heart failure, and with other disease states. They are also useful in the treatment of hypertension.

The diuretics of formula I may be incorporated in a conventional dosage form such as tablet, capsule, elixir, injectable or the like, along with the necessary carrier material, excipient, lubricant, buffer or the like.

Preferred compounds of formula I are those wherein R.sub.1 is aminosulfonyl, R.sub.3 is hydrogen, R.sub.4 is hydrogen and n.sub.4 and n.sub.5 are O.

The following examples are specific embodiments of this invention.

(A) .beta.-Acetylmercaptopropanal

To 13.4 ml of acrolein cooled by an ice bath, there is added in 1 ml portions 14.2 ml of thioacetic acid. After standing for 1 hour, the product is fractioned at 94.degree.-96.degree. C./14 mm of Hg to yield an oil.

(B) 3-[2-(Acetylthio)ethyl]-6-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-7-sulfonamide, 1,1-dioxide

A mixture of 11.4 g of 2,4-disulfamoyl-5-chloroaniline, 10.6 g .beta.-acetylmercaptopropanal and 200 ml of acetonitrile is refluxed for 24 hours. The resulting solution is evaporated and the remaining oil is washed with three 50 ml portions of petroleum ether and then dissolved in about 50 ml of ethyl acetate; a solid separates and is filtered off (3.9 g). The filtrate is slowly poured into toluene to furnish a sticky solid (8.2 g). On standing the combined petroleum ether washes yield 0.8 g of solid.

A sample of the 3.9 g fraction is crystallized from hot isoamyl formate yielding the title compound, melting point 192.degree.-195.degree. C.
