Supplementary data of manuscript entitled “An efficient L-proline catalysed synthesis of pyrazolo[3,4-e][1,4]thiazepine derivatives and their in-vitro cytotoxicity studies” Detailed interpretation of 4d using 2D NMR techniques O N N NH NH O O S O The 1H NMR spectrum revealed that, the singlet at 10.13 ppm is due to the NH proton of amide part of thiazepinone ring. The H,H-COSY of the 4d has revealed that the doublets at 6.78 and 6.69 ppm integrates for one proton each with the coupling constant of 8.6 Hz, coupled with each other have been assigned as C-5′ and C-4′protons of pyridine ring. Another set of doublet at 7.12 ppm and 6.56 ppm coupled with each other which also integrates for one proton each with the coupling constant of 7.0 Hz revealed through H, H-COSY has been assigned as C-3" and C-4" of aryl substituent. The singlet appeared at 6.52 ppm integrates for one proton has been due to C-6" proton of aryl ring. The sharp singlets at 2.38, 3.65, 3.81 and 3.90 ppm which integrate for three protons each are due to the methyl and methoxy groups of pyridine and aryl ring. The singlets at 3.65, 3.81 ppm has been assigned as methoxy protons of aryls at C-5", C-2" respectively. The signal at 3.90 ppm has been assigned to protons of methoxy group at C-2' of pyridine ring whereas other singlet at 2.38 ppm has assigned to the methyl protons at C-6' of pyridine ring. The methine proton of thiazepinone ring appeared as singlet at 5.63 ppm. The methylene protons of thiazepinone ring appeared as two doublets at 3.35 and 3.46 ppm with the coupling constant of 16 Hz. H, H-COSY spectrum of the compound also supports the coupling of each other signal. The 13 C NMR spectrum of the 4d shows the following chemical shift values: 171.83, 159.71, 156.86, 153.17, 150.04, 146.59, 137.94, 136.37, 130.77, 116.05, 115.79, 112.64, 112.08, 108.79, 108.13, 56.37, 55.79, 53.65, 36.66, 32.74, 24.08; whereas the DEPT-135 spectrum of the same compound shows the following signals: 137.94, 115.97, 115.71, 112.55, 112.00, 56.28, 55.70, 53.56, 36.57, 32.64, 23.99 and hence the remaining signals at 171.83, 159.71, 156.86, 153.17, 150.04, 146.59, 136.37, 130.77, 108.79, 108.13 have been tentatively assigned to non-proton bearing carbons. The down field signal at 171.83 ppm has been assigned to carbonyl carbon. The carbons at C-2', C-2'', C-5'' bearing the methoxy substituent are appeared at 159.71, 156.86, 153.17 ppm and the relatively down field signal at 159.71 ppm has been assigned to C-2' of pyridine ring since it is placed between nitrogen and ipso carbon and hence it resonated at relatively down field. The other two signals at 156.86, 153.17 ppm have been assigned to C-2'', C-5'' of aryl ring. The signals at 150.04 and 146.59 ppm have been assigned ipso carbons at C-3' of pyridine ring and C-1'' of aryl ring respectively. The signal at 136.37 ppm has been assigned to C-6' since it carries methyl group. The signal at 130.77 ppm is due to the carbon at C-3 of pyrazole ring. The bridgehead carbons of pyrazolothiazepine appeared at 108.79 and 108.13 ppm. The signals of proton bearing carbons have been assigned based on the HSQC spectrum of the compound 4d. The signals at 137.94, 116.05 and 115.79 ppm are due to the C-3'', C-6'' and C-5'' respectively of the aryl ring. The signals at 112.64, 112.08 ppm are due to the bridgehead carbons of pyrazolothiazepine ring. The methoxyl carbons at C-2'', C-5'' and C2' are appeared at 56.37, 55.79, 53.65 respectively. It is interesting to the relatively upfield carbon signal of the methoxyl group at 53.56 ppm appears in relatively down field at 3.90 ppm and this difference may be due to the anisotropic effect of either nitrogen or oxygen lone pair electon(s). In the aliphatic regions three different signals are observed, among these the signal at 32.74 ppm observed in the negative part of the DEPT-135 spectrum and hence assigned to methylene carbon of thiazepene ring. The signal at 36.66 ppm is due to the methine carbon at C-4 of the thiazepine ring. The upfield signal at 24.08 ppm has been assigned to the methyl carbon at C-6' of the pyridine ring. The above discussions clearly revealed the formation of the compound 4d. This has been supported by the observation of m/z value at 426.1362 in HRMS spectrum.
