Synthesis and structural study of a new series of 2‐methylsulfanyl‐tetrahydropyrimidines from β‐alkoxyvinyl trihalomethyl ketones

This work describes the synthesis of a novel series of 2‐methylsulfanyl‐tetrahydropyrimidines, from the cyclocondensation reaction of β‐alkoxyvinyl trihalomethyl ketones with 2‐methyl‐2‐thiopseudourea sulfate, in good yields. A detailed ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR study was performed on the 2‐methylsulfanyl‐tetrahydropyrimidines obtained and 3D structures were proposed based on AM1 calculations supported by ¹H NMR coupling constants and NOESY experiments.     

Preparation and evaluation of N‐sulfinyl dienophiles for asymmetric hetero‐diels‐alder reactions

A series of N‐sulfinyl dienophiles 1c‐i has been screened in asymmetric hetero‐Diels‐Alder reactions using chiral bis(oxazoline)copper(II) and ‐zinc(II) triflates. The survey pointed out N‐sulfine 1c (R ? P(?O)(OPh)₂) as the most promising N‐sulfine regarding yield and stereoselectivity (up to 97% ee). The relative configurations, and in one case the absolute configuration, of the HDA adducts were established by X‐ray analysis.

Fused polyaza‐heterocycles and 1,3,4‐thiadiazoles via a tricyano synthon

Treatment of 2‐cyano‐3‐phenyl‐2‐pentenedinitrile with some heterocyclic diazonium salts afforded the corresponding heterocyclic hydrazones. Some of the latter hydrazones were converted into fused polyaza‐heterocycles upon boiling in pyridine. Reaction of 2‐cyano‐3‐phenyl‐2‐pentenedinitrile with phenylisothiocyanate gave a tricyano‐thiole derivative which on treatment with hydrazonoyl chlorides and 1‐(benzothiazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐bromoethanone furnished 1,3,4‐thiadiazole and thiazole derivatives, respectively.     

Simple synthesis of 2‐amino‐4‐(het)aryl‐4,6‐dihydro‐1(3)(11)H‐[1,3,5]triazino[2,1‐b]quinazolin‐6‐ones

The 2‐amino‐4‐(het)aryl‐4,6‐dihydro‐1(3)(11)H‐[1,3,5]triazino[2,1‐b]quinazolin‐6‐ones were prepared readily by cyclocondensation of anthranilic acid derived 4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydroquinazolinyl‐2‐guanidine with a variety of aldehydes.

Claisen Condensation of N‐Methylpyrrolidinone and α‐Chloronicotinic esters

Reaction between α‐halo‐nicotinic esters and a nucleophilic source such as the N‐methylpyrrolidin‐2‐one (NMP) gave unexpected results. The presence of the halide on the pyridine gave a very interesting migration reaction. Extension to 6‐methylnicotinic ester derivatives lead to an unexpected carbanion condensation.     

Preparation of 5‐bromo‐6‐phenylimidazo[2,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazol‐2‐ylamines

The reaction of primary or secondary amines with 2,5‐dibromo‐6‐phenylimidazo[2,1‐b][1,3,4]‐thiadiazole ( 5 ) leads to a chemoselective replacement of the 2‐Br substituent. The process represents a convenient route to the corresponding 2‐ylamines 7a‐d . Hydrazine reacts in an analogous fashion ( 5 → 7e ). The structure determinations are based on an X‐ray crystal structure analysis and on one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR measurements.

Some novel 1,2‐fused 5H‐chromeno[4,3‐b]pyridin‐5‐ones ( 5a,b ) and a 6H‐benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridin‐5‐one ( 5c ) have been synthesized starting from the 4‐chlorocoumarin‐3‐carbaldehyde ( 1a ) or its N‐methyl‐2‐quinolone analogue ( 1b ) via subsequent Knoevenagel condensation and ring closure reaction known as the ‘tert‐amino effect’. These are rare examples of the tert‐amino effect occurring at 2‐pyrone and 2‐pyridone ring. An unusual intramolecular redox reaction of the iminium ion 6 , reported earlier, most probably follows analogous mechanism as the tert‐amino effect reactions leading to 5 .     

Synthesis of novel 5‐chlorinated 2‐aminothiophenes using 2,5‐dimethylpyrrole as an amine protecting group

A new synthetic methodology towards substituted 2‐amino‐5‐chlorothiophenes is described. Compounds of this type are important as building blocks for oligomers used in polymer research. Easily available 2‐aminothiophenes underwent Paal‐Knorr reaction to protect the free amino group before electrophilic substitution. Although the chlorination was predicted to proceed at the thiophene ring, only free positions of 2,5‐dimethylpyrrole were substituted. To direct chlorination to the thiophene ring acetamido derivative was prepared first and then chlorinated. Transamination with hexane‐2,5‐dione created a 2,5‐dimethyl pyrrole ring from the acetamido group. In the final step, after treatment with hydroxylamine dihydrochloride, the pyrrole ring is removed and a free amino group is regenerated.
