Photochemische Cycloadditionen von 3-Phenyl-2H-azirinen mit Triphenyl-vinylphosphoniumbromid. 36. Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

On irradiation in acetonitrile 3-phenyl-2H-azirines of type 1 react with triphenyl vinyl phosphonium bromide to form in approximative 50% yield 2H-indoles of type 4 (Scheme 1). In analogy to other photochemical reactions with 2H-azirines [2] [3] it is assumed that the photochemically generated dipoles 2 react with the triphenyl vinyl phosphonium salt (Scheme 1). The conversion of 1 to 4 represents a new synthesis for 2H-pyrroles.     

Reaktionen der valenzpolaromeren Ketenform mesoionischer Heterocyclen mit 3-Dimethylamino-2H-azirinen

Reactions of valencepolaromeric ketenes of mesoionic heterocyles with 3-dimethylamino-2H-azirines Reactions of the 3-dimethylamino-2H-azirines 1a and 1b with the mesoionic oxazole 5 and the mesoionic dithiole 6 in acetonitrile at room temperature yield the 1:1 adducts 11 , 12 , 19 and 20 , respectively (Schemes 5 and 8). These products can be formulated as adducts of the aminoazirines and the ketenes 5a and 6a , which are valence polaromeric forms of the mesoionic heterocycles 5 and 6 (Scheme 2). The structure of the adducts has been elucidated by spectral data and their comparison with the data of (Z)- 11 , the structure of which has been established by X-ray [19]. Oxidation of the 1:1 adducts with KMnO₄ in a two-phase system yields 4-dimethylamino-3-oxazolin-2-ones (cf. Scheme 6) by clevage of the exocyclic C,C-double bond. A mechanism for the formation of the adducts is given in Scheme 9: Nucleophilic attack of 1 on the ketene leads to a primary adduct of type a , which undergoes clevage of the former N(1), C(2)-azirine bond to give adducts of type 11 or 19 . The N(1), C(2)-ring opening of 1a in the reaction with ketenes contrasts with the N(1), C(3)-opening of 1a in the addition with, for instance, isothiocyanates. These different ring openings are explained by the difference in nucleophilicity of the heteroatoms X and Y in a ′ (Scheme 10).     

Reaktion von 3-(Dimethylamino)-2H-azirinen mit 1,3-Thiazolidin-2-thion

Reaction of 3-(Dimethylamino)-2H-azirines with 1,3-Thiazolidine-2-thione Reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)-2H-azirines 1 and 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione ( 6 ) in MeCN at room temperature leads to a mixture of perhydroimidazo[4,3-b]thiazole-5-thiones 7 and N-[1-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)alkyl]-N′,N′-dimethylthioureas 8 (Scheme 2), whereas, in i-PrOH at ca. 60°, 8 is the only product (Scheme 4). It has been shown that, in polar solvents or under Me₂NH catalysis, the primarily formed 7 isomerizes to 8 (Scheme 4). The hydrolysis of 7 and 8 leads to the same 2-thiohydantoine 9 (Scheme 3 and 5). The structure of 7a, 8c , and 9b has been established by X-ray crystallography (Chapt. 4). Reaction mechanisms for the formation and the hydrolysis of 7 and 8 are suggested.     

Photochemie von in 4-Stellung substituierten 5-Methyl-3-phenyl-isoxazolen.44. Mitteilung über Photoreaktionen

Photochemistry of 4-substituted 5-Methyl-3-phenyl-isoxazoles. 4-Trideuterioacetyl-5-methyl-3-phenyl-isoxazole ([CD₃CO]- 27 ), upon irradiation with 254 nm light, was converted into a 1:1 mixture of oxazoles [CD₃CO]- 35 and [CD₃]- 35 (Scheme 13). This isomerization is accompagnied by a slower transformation of ([CD₃CO]- 27 ) into [CD₃]- 27 . Irradiation of the isoxazole derivatives 28, 29, 30 and (E)- 31 yielded only oxazoles 36, 37, 38 and (E), (Z)- 39 ; no 4-acetyl-5-alkoxy-2-phenyl-oxazole, 2-acetyl-3-methyl-5-phenyl-pyrrole or 2-acetyl-4-methoxycarbonyl-3-methyl-5-phenyl-pyrrole, respectively, were formed (Scheme 9 and 10). Similarly (E)- 32 gave a mixture of (E), (Z)- 40 only (Scheme 11). Upon shorter irradiation, the intermediate 2H-azirines (E), (Z)- 41 could be isolated (Scheme 11). Photochemical (E)/(Z)-isomerization of the 2-(trifluoro-ethoxycarbonyl)-1-methyl-vinyl side chain in all the compounds 32, 40 and 41 is fast. At 230° the isoxazoles (E)- and (Z)- 32 are converted into oxazoles (E), (Z)- 40 . The same compounds are also obtained by thermal isomerization of the 2H-azirines (E), (Z)- 41 . The most probable mechanism for the photochemical transformations of the isoxazoles, as exemplified in the case of the isoxazole 27 , is shown in Scheme 13. A benzonitrile-methylide intermediate is postulated for the photochemical conversion of the 2H-azirines into oxazoles. 2H-Azirines are also intermediates in the thermal isoxazole-oxazole rearrangement. It is however not yet clear, if the thermal 2H-azirine-oxazole transformation involves the same transient species as the photochemical reaction. A mechanism for the photochemical isomerization of the 2H-azirine 11 to the oxazole 15 is proposed (Scheme 3).     

Bortrifluorid-katalysierte Umsetzungen von 3-Amino-2H-azirinen mit Aminosäure-estern und Aminen

Boron-Trifluoride-Catalyzed Reactions of 3-Amino-2H-azirines with Amino-acid Esters and Amines After activation by protonation or complexation with BF₃, 3-amino-2H-azirines 1 react with the amino group of α-amino-acid esters 3 to give 3,6-dihydro-5-aminopyrazin-2(1H)-ones 4 by ring enlargement (Scheme 2, Table 1). The configuration of 3 is retained in the products 4 . With unsymmetrically substituted 1 (R¹ ≠ R²), two diastereoisomers of 4 (cis and trans) are formed in a ratio of 1:1 to 2:1. With β-amino-acid esters 5 and 7 , only openchain α-amino-imidamides 6 and 8 , respectively, are formed, but none of the seven-membered heterocycle (Scheme 3). Primary amines also react with BF₃-complexed 1 to yield α-amino-imidamides of type 9 (Scheme 4, Table 2). Compound 9b is characterized chemically by its transformation into crystalline derivatives 10 and 12 with 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride and phenyl isothiocyanate, respectively (Scheme 5). The structure of 12 is established by X-ray crystallography. Mechanisms for the reaction of activated 1 with amino groups are proposed in Schemes 6 and 7.     

Ringerweiterungen und Ringverengungen bei der Umsetzung von 1, 3-Oxazolidin-2, 4-dionen und 1, 3-Thiazoiidin-2, 4-dion mit 3-Amino-2H-azirinen

Ring Enlargements and Ring Contractions in the Reaction of 1, 3-Oxazolidine-2, 4-diones and l, 3-Thiazolidine-2, 4-dione with 3-Amino-2H-azirines The reaction of 3-amino-2H-azirines 1 and 1, 3-oxazolidine-2, 4-diones 2 in MeCN at room temperature leads to 3, 4-dihydro-3-(2-hydroxyacetyl)-2H-imidazol-2-ones 3 in good yield (Scheme 2, Table 1). A reaction mechanism proceeding via ring enlargement of the bicyclic zwitterion A to give B, followed by transannular ring contraction to C, is proposed for the formation of 3 . This mechanism is in accordance with the result of the reaction of 2a and the ¹⁵N-labelled 1a *: in the isolated product 3a *, only N(3) is labelled (Scheme 1). The analogous reaction of 1 and 1, 3-thiazolidine-2, 4-dione ( 5 ) is more complex (Schemes 4 and 5, Table 2). Besides the expected 3, 4-dihydro-3-(2-mercaptoacetyl)-2H-imidazol-2-ones 7, 5-amino-3, 4-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ones of type 8 and/or N-(1, 4-thiazin-2-ylidene)ureas 9 are formed. In the case of 2-(dimethylamino)-1-azaspiro[2. 3]hex-1-ene ( 1d ), the postulated eight-membered intermediate 6d could be isolated. Its structure as well as that of 9f has been determined by X-ray structure analysis. A reaction mechanism for the formation of the 1, 4-thiazine derivatives of type 9 is proposed in Scheme 6.     

Photoreaktionen von 1-Alkylbenztriazolen

The irradiation of benzotriazoles (cf. Scheme 2) with light of 225–325 nm in protic and in aromatic solvents was investigated. In aqueous 0.1N H₂SO₄ benzotriazole ( 5 ) and 1-methyl-benzotriazole ( 6 ) yielded 2-amino- and 2-methylaminophenol ( 25 and 26 ), respectively (Scheme 3). In 2-propanol 6 , 5-chloro- and 6-chloro-1-methyl-benzotriazole ( 14 and 15 ) were reduced to N-methylaniline, 4-chloro- and 3-chloro-N-methyl-aniline ( 27 , 28 and 29 ), respectively (Scheme 4). When the benzotriazoles were irradiated in aromatic solvents only C, C coupling products were observed (cf. Scheme 6 and Tables 1–4). It is of importance that 5-chloro-1-methyl-benztriazole ( 14 ) when decomposed photolytically in benzene solution yielded only 4-chloro-2-phenyl-N-methyl-aniline ( 49 ) and its 6-chloro isomer only 5-chloro-2-phenyl-N-methyl-aniline ( 50 ), i.e. the intervention of benzo-1H-azirine intermediates (e.g. 53 , Scheme 8) can be excluded. The substitution patterns which are observed when 6 is irradiated in toluene, anisole, fluoro-, chloro-, bromobenzene and benzonitrile (cf. Table 4) can best be explained by assuming that 6 , after loss of nitrogen, forms a diradical intermediate in the singlet state with highly zwitterionic character. 1-(1′-Alkenyl)-benzotriazoles (cf. Table 7) form on irradiation in cyclohexane solution indoles by intramolecular ring closure of the diradical intermediate and proton shift. After irradiation of 1-decyl-benzotriazole ( 8 ) in a glassy matrix at 77K a 7-line ESR. spectrum characteristic of a triplet radical is observed. This is in agreement with the fact that the lowest lying state of intermediates of type 2 (Scheme 1) should be a triplet state (cf. [21] [26]).     

Umlagerungsreaktionen von (2′-Propinyl)cyclohexadienolen und -semibenzolen

Rearrangements of (2′-Propinyl)cyclohexadienols and -semibenzenes The acid-catalyzed dienol-benzene rearrangement of 3- and 5-methyl-substituted (2′-propinyl)cyclohexadienols has been investigated. Treatment of the dienols with CF₃COOH in CCl₄ yields allenyl- and (2′-propinyl)benzenes via [3,4]- and [1,2]-sigmatropic rearrangements, respectively. The reaction with H₂SO₄ in Et₂O leeds to a mixture of allenyl-, 2′-propinyl-, 3′-butinyl- and (2′,3′-butadienyl)benzenes (Scheme 3). The latter are products of a thermal semibenzene-benzene rearrangement (cf. Scheme 9). The corresponding semibenzenes have been prepared by dehydration of the cyclohexadienols with H₂SO₄ or POCl₃ (Schemes 6 and 7). Under acidic conditions, the p-(2′-propinyl)semibenzenes 33–35 (Scheme 8) undergo [3,4]- and [1,2]-sigmatropic rearrangements to give again allenyl- and (2′-propinyl)benzenes, whereas the thermal rearrangements to the 3′-butinyl- and (2′,3′-butadienyl)benzenes (Scheme 9) involves a radical mechanism. In contrast, the o-(2′-propinyl)semibenzene b (Scheme 7) leads to (2′,3′-butadienyl)benzene 32 via a thermal [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement.     

Diazo-Transfer Reaction with Diphenyl Phosphorazidate

Diphenyl phosphorazidate (DPPA) was used as the azide source in a one-pot synthesis of 2,2-disubstituted 3-amino-2H-azirines 1 (Scheme 1). The reaction with lithium enolates of amides of type 2 , bearing two substituents at C(2), proceeded smoothly in THF at 0°; keteniminium azides C and azidoenamines D are likely intermediates. Under analogous reaction conditions, DPPA and amides of type 3 with only one substituent at C(2) gave 2-diazoamides 5 in fair-to-good yield (Scheme 2). The corresponding 2-diazo derivatives 6–8 were formed in low yield by treatment of the lithium enolates of N,N-dimethyl-2-phenylacetamide, methyl 2-phenylacetate, and benzyl phenyl ketone, respectively, with DPPA. Thermolysis of 2-diazo-N-methyl-N-phenylcarboxamides 5a and 5b yielded 3-substituted 1,3-dihydro-N-methyl-2H-indol-2-ones 9a and 9b , respectively (Scheme 3). The diazo compounds 5–8 reacted with 1,3-thiazole-5 (4H)-thiones 10 and thiobenzophenone ( 13 ) to give 6-oxa-1,9-dithia-3-azaspiro[4.4]nona-2,7-dienes 11 (Scheme 4) and thiirane-2-carboxylic acid derivatives 14 (Scheme 5), respectively. In analogy to previously described reactions, a mechanism via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, leading to 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, and elimination of N₂ to give the ‘thiocarbonyl ylides’ of type H or K is proposed. These dipolar intermediates with a conjugated C?O group then undergo either a 1,5-dipolar electrocyclization to give spirohetrocycles 11 or a 1,3-dipolar electrocyclization to thiiranes 14 .     

4-Amino-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-one aus Bortrifluorid-katalysierten Umsetzungen von 3-Amino-2H-azirinen mit Carbonsäure-Derivaten

4-Amino-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones from Boron Trifluoride Catalyzed Reactions of 3-Amino-2H-azirines with Carboxylic Acid Derivatives Reaction of 3-amino-2H-azirines 1 with ethyl 2-nitroacetate ( 6a ) in refluxing MeCN affords 4-amino-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones 7 and 3,6-diamino-2,5-dihydropyrazines 8 , the dimerization product of 1 (Scheme 2). Thus, 6a reacts with 1 as a CH-acidic compound by C? C bond formation via C-nucleophilic attack of deprotonated 6a onto the amidinium-C-atom of protonated 1 (Scheme 5). The scope of this reaction seems to be rather limited as 1 and 2-substituted 2-nitroacetates do not give any products besides the azirine dimer 8 (see Table 1). Sodium enolates of carboxylic esters and carboxamides 11 react with 1 under BF₃ catalysis to give 4-amino-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones 12 in 50–80% yield (Scheme 3, Table 2). In an analogous reaction, 3-amino-2H-pyrrole 13 is formed from 1c and the Li-enolate of acetophenone (Scheme 4). A reaction mechanism for the ring enlargement of 1 involving BF₃ catalysis is proposed in Scheme 6.     

Radikalische Cyclisierungen von Alkenyl-substituierten 4,5-Dihydro-1,3-thiazol-5-thiolen

Radical Cyclizations of Alkenyl-Substituted 4,5-Dihydro-1,3-thiazole-5-thiols Heating of 5-alkenyl- or 5-alkinyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazole-5-thiols of type 5 in the presence of a radical initiator gave dithiaspirobicycles in fair-to-excellent yield (Scheme 3). Under analogous conditions, the 4,5-dihydro-4-vinyl-1,3-thiazole-5-thiol 5d underwent a cyclization to give the annellated dithiabicycle 7 (Scheme 4). In this reaction, a minor product 8 was formed by an unknown reaction mechanism. The structure of 8 was established by X-ray crystallography. The starting 1,3-thiazole-5-thiols 5 have been synthesized by carbophilic alkylation of me C?S group of 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones with Grignard-reagents or alkylcuprates. The thiazolethiones were obtained by the reaction of 3-amino-2H-azirines with thiobenzoic acid followed by sulfurization and cyclization. The 4-benzyl derivative 1b was thermally rearranged via 1,3-benzyl migration to yield the benzyl (1,3-thiazol-5-yl) sulfide 11 (Scheme 5).     

Formation of 3-Sulfonyl-Substituted Benzo[a]heptalene-2,4-diols from Heptalene-1,2-dicarboxylates and Lithiomethyl Phenyl Sulfones

On treatment with 6 mol-equiv. of lithiomethyl phenyl sulfone at −78° in THF, dimethyl 5,6,8,10-tetramethylheptalene-1,2-dicarboxylate ( 1′b ) gives, after raising the temperature to −10° and addition of 6 mol-equiv. of BuLi, followed by further warming to ambient temperature, the corresponding 3-(phenylsulfonyl)benzo[a]heptalene-2,4-diol 2b in yields up to 65% (cf. Scheme 6 and Table 2), in contrast to its double-bond-shifted (DBS) isomer 1b which gave 2b in a yield of only 6% [1]. The bisanion [ 9 ]²⁻ of the cyclopenta[a]heptalen-1(1H)-one 9 (cf. Fig. 1), carrying a (phenylsulfonyl)methyl substituent at C(11b), seems to be a key intermediate on the reaction path to 2b , because 9 is transformed in high yield into 2b in the presence of 6 mol-equiv. of BuLi in the temperature range of −10° to room temperature (cf. Scheme 7). Heptalene-dicarboxylate 1′b was also transformed into benzo[a]heptalene-2,4-diols 2c – g by a number of lithiated methyl X-phenyl sulfones and BuLi (cf. Scheme 9 and Table 3).     

Zur Imidazolbildung aus 2H-Azirinen bzw. Vinylaziden und Nitrilen unter Säurekatalyse

Acid-Catalysed Formation of Imidazoles from 2H-Azirines or Vinylazides and Nitriles The reaction of 2H-azirines with nitriles in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate to yield the corresponding imidazoles is described. 2,3-Diphenyl-2H-azirine ( 10 ) gives 2-substituted 4,5-diphenyl imidazoles in moderate bis good yields (see Table 1). The reaction of 10 with acrylonitrile only leads to the formation of 4,5-diphenyl-2-vinylimidazole ( 17 ). No products resulting from an addition to the C,C double bond are observed. 2H-Azirine 10 and ethyl cyanoacetate yield the expected imidazole 18 (30%) but also 2-cyanomethyl-4,5-diphenyloxazole ( 20 ; 7%) (see Scheme 4). The yield of imidazole formation mainly depends on the substituents in position 2 of the 2H-azirines (see Scheme 6), a change of the substitutents in position 3 having only little influence. The best yields are observed with a phenyl group at C(2) of the 2H-azirines. These observations are in agreement with the occurrence of 1-azaallyl cations formed by ring opening of the 2H-azirines linked to the Lewis acid (boron trifluoride). Similar results are obtained with the corresponding vinyl azides with the exception of 1-azido-1-phenylethylene ( 28 ). Whereas the corresponding 3-phenyl-2H-azirine ( 24 ) gives 2,4-diphenylimidazole ( 33 ; Scheme 6) in the presence of benzonitrile and boron trifluoride etherate, the azide 28 yields only acetanilide (86%). In the presence of triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate 2H-azirines and benzonitrile react to yield the corresponding 1-ethylimidazoles (see Scheme 9). This again demonstrates that 1-azaallyl cations must be intermediates which react with the nitrile presumably in a Ritter type reaction. ¹³C-NMR. spectra of 2H-azirines are also reported (Table 2).     

Zur Photochemie von 1H- und 2H-Indazolen in saurer Lösung

On the Photochemistry of 1H- and 2H-Indazoles in Acidic Solution It is shown that 1H- and 2H-indazoles (cf. Scheme 2) on protonation (0, 1N H₂SO₄ in water or alcoholic solution) give analogous indazolium ions (see Fig. 1 and 2) which on irradiation undergo heterolytic cleavage of the N (1), N (2) bond whereby aromatic nitrenium ions in the singlet ground state are formed (cf. Scheme 13). If the para position of these nitrenium ions is not occupied by a substituent (e.g. a methyl group) they are readily trapped by nucleophiles present (e.g. water, alcohols, chloride ions) to yield the corresponding 5-substituted 2-amino-benzaldehydes or acetophenones (cf. Schemes 4–10). Photolysis of indazole ( 4 ) and 3-methyl-indazole ( 5 ) in 0,75N H₂SO₄ in alcoholic solutions gives in addition minor amounts of the corresponding 3-substituted 2-amino-benzaldehydes and acetophenones, respectively (cf. Schemes 6 and 8 and Table 2). Phenylnitrenium ions carrying a methyl group in the para position give in aqueous sulfuric acid mainly the reduction products, i.e. 2-amino-5-methyl-benzaldehydes (cf. Schemes 11 and 12 and Table 3). In methanolic sulfuric acid, in addition to the reduction products, 6-methoxy substituted benzaldehydes are found (cf. Schemes 11 and 12 and Table 3) which are presumably formed by an addition-elimination mechanism (cf. Scheme 18). It is assumed that precursors of the reduction products are the corresponding nitrenium ions in the triplet ground state. Singlet-triplet conversion of the nitrenium ions may become efficient when addition of nucleophiles to the singlet nitrenium ions is reversible (cf. Scheme 22) thus, enhancing the probability of conversion or when conjugation in the singlet nitrenium ions is disturbed by steric effects (cf. Scheme 20) thus, destabilizing the singlet state relative to the triplet state.     

Dipolare (1:1)-Addukte aus der Reaktion von 3-Amino-2H-azirinen mit 1,3,4-Oxadiazol- und 1,3,4-Thiadiazol-2(3H)-onen

Dipolar 1:1 Adducts from the Reaction of 3-Amino-2H-azirines with 1,3,4-Oxadiazol- and 1,3,4-Thiadiazol-2(3H)-ones 3-Amino-2H-azirines 1 react with 5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one ( 2 ) as well as with different 5-substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-ones ( 5a–e ) in 2-propanol at room temperature to give dipolar 1:1 adducts of type 3 and 6 , respectively, in reasonable-to-good yields (Schemes 3 and 6, Tab. 1 and 2). The structure of two of these dipolar adducts, 6a and 6e , which are formally donor-acceptor-stabilized azomethin imines, have been elucidated by X-ray crystallography (Figs. 1-4). In the reaction of 2 and sterically crowded 3-amino-2H-azirines 1c–e with a 2-propyl and 2-propenyl substituent, respectively, at C(2), a 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-3(2H)-one of type 4 is formed as minor product (Scheme 3 and Table 1). Independent syntheses of these products proved the structure of 4 . Several reaction mechanisms for the formation of compounds 3 and 4 are discussed, the most likely ones are described in Scheme 4: reaction of 2 as an NH-acidic compound leads, via a bicyclic zwitterion of type A , to 3 as well as to 4 . In the latter reaction, a ring-expanded intermediate B is most probable.     

Über Umlagerungen bei der Cyclialkylierung von Arylpentanolen zu 2,3‐Dihydro‐1H‐inden‐Derivaten, 4. Mitteilung

On Rearrangements by Cyclialkylations of Arylpentanols to 2,3‐Dihydro‐1 H ‐indene Derivatives. Part 4. The Acid‐Catalyzed Cyclialkylation of 2,4‐Dimethyl‐2‐phenyl[3‐ ¹³ C]pentan‐3‐ol The cyclialkylation of 2,4‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl[3‐¹³C]pentan‐3‐ol ( 4 ) gives only 2,3‐dihydro‐1,1,2,3‐tetramethyl‐1H‐[3‐¹³C]indene ( 6 ) (cf. Scheme 2) and not a trace of the isotopomeric 2,3‐dihydro‐1,1,2,3‐tetramethyl‐1H‐[2‐¹³C]indene ( 5 ). The mechanism proposed in [3] for the cyclialkylation of 4 (cf. Scheme 2, Path A) has, therefore, to be abandoned. The mechanism of Scheme 2, Path B, is proposed and may be considered as definitively established.     

Preparation of novel heterocyclic systems from isatoic anhydrides

Isatoic anhydride ( 1a ) and 5-chloroisatoic anhydride ( 1b ) were treated with 2-(1-methylhydrazino)ethanol ( 2 ) to produce 2-aminobenzoic acid 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methylhydrazide ( 3a ) and its 5-chloro analog 3b , respectively. Treatment of 3a and 3b with carbon disulfide gave, respectively, 2,3-dihydro-3-[(2-hydroxyethyl)methylamino]-2-thioxo-4-(1H)quinazolinone ( 4a ) and its 6-chloro analog 4b . Compounds 4a and 4b afforded 5,6-dihydro-5-methyl-2-thioxo-4H,8H-[1,3,5,6]oxathiadiazocino[4,5-b]quinazolin-8-one ( 5a ) and its 10-chloro analog 5b , respectively, upon treatment with thiophosgene. Compound 5a could be produced directly from 3a and thiophosgene. Treatment of 4a and 4b with trifluoroacetic anhydride followed by potassium carbonate gave 3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-2H,6H-[1,3,4]thiadiazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one ( 7a ) and its 8-chloro analog 7b , respectively. Treatment of 4a with thionyl chloride also gave 7a , but 4b and thionyl chloride afforded a mixture of 7b and 8-chloro-3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-2H,6H-[1,3,4]oxadiazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one ( 10 ). The dimethyl analogs of 4a and 4b ( 13a and 13b ) upon treatment with thiophosgene afforded 3,4-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethyl-2H,6H-[1,3,4]oxadiazino[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one ( 14a ) and its 8-chloro analog 14b , respectively.     

Umsetzung von 3-(Dimethylamino)-2H-azirinen mit 1,3-Oxazolidin-2-thion zu 3-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2-thiohydantoinen

Reaction of 3-(Dimethylamino)-2H-azirines with 1,3-Oxazolidine-2-thione to 3-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2- thiohydantoins The reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)-2H-azirines 1 and 1,3-oxazolidine-2-thione ( 6 ), in MeCN at room temperature, yields, after hydrolytic workup, 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-thiohydantoins 7 (Scheme 2). In the case of the spirocyclic 1c , crystallization of the crude reaction mixture leads to spiro [cyclopentane-1, 7′(7′aH)-imidazo [4, 3-b] oxazole] -5′-thione 8c . The mechanism is discussed.     

Optisch aktive 3-Amino-2H-azirine als Bausteine für enantiomerenreine α,α-disubstituierte α-Aminosäuren: Synthese des α-Methylphenylalanin-Synthons and Einbau in Modell-Peptide

Optically Active 3-Amino-2H-azirines as Synthons for Enantiomerically Pure αα-Disubstituted α-Amino Acids: Synthesis of the α-Methylphenylalanine Synthons and Some Model Peptides The synthesis of a novel 2-benzyl-2-methyl-3-amino-2H-azirine derivative with a chiral amino group is described. Chromatographic separation of the diastereoisomer mixture yielded the pure diastereoisomers 9a and 9b (Scheme 4) which are the D - and L -2-methylphenylalanine ((α-Me)Phe) synthons, respectively. The reaction of 9a and 9b with thiobenzoic acid and with Z-leucine yielded the monothiodiamides 10a and 10b (Scheme 5) and the dipeptide derivatives 11a and 11b (Scheme 6), respectively. Methanolysis of 11b yielded 12b . The absolute configuration of 10a was established by X-ray crystallography. The absolute configuration of (α-Me)Phe in 12b has been deduced from the known configuration of L -leucine.     

[4 + 2]-Cycloadditionen von α, β- ungesättigten hydrazonen. Teil3. Isothiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-3(2H)-on-1,1-dioxide (= 4-azasaccharine)

[4 + 2] Cycloaddition of α, β-Unsaturated Hydrazones: Isothlazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-3(2H)-on 1,1-Dioxides (= 4-Azasaccharine Derivatives) The [4 + 2] cycloaddition of α, β -unsaturated hydrazones of type 1 (1-azabuta-1,3-dienes) with isothiazol-3(2H)-on 1,1-dioxide derivatives 10 affords, depending on the solvent used, picolinamides 15 or 17 , 4,7-dihydro-4-azasaccharine 14 or 4-azasaccharine derivatives 16 (Scheme 4). The course of the reaction is mainly influenced by the substituent R of the dienophile 10 .
