2-Acyl(aroyl)-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides: VI. Reaction with hydrogen halides

Reactions of 2-aroyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides with hydrogen halides in solvents of low dielectric permittivity result in the formation of 6-amino-2-aroyl-2-halopyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles. 2-Acyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides under similar conditions afford 2-(2-alkylidene-5-amino-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)propanedinitriles. In solvents of high dielectric permittivity the result of the reaction depends on the nature of the hydrogen halide and the acyl(aroyl) substituent: With HCl and HBr 2-aroyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides form 2-(5-amino-2-aryl-2-halo-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)-propanedinitriles, and 2-acyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides give 2-(2-alkylidene-5-amino-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)propanedinitriles; with HI depending on the reaction conditions and the structure of the acyl substituent 2-(5-amino-2-aryl-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)propanedinitriles, 2-(5-amino-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene) propane-dinitrile, 2-amino-4-(dimethoxybenzyl)-6-iodo-5-cyanonicotinamide, 4-amino-6-iodo-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-7-carbonitrile, or 4-amino-6-iodo-3-oxo-1-ethylidene-1,3-dihydrofuro[3,4-c]pyridine-7-carbonitrile are obtained.

The reaction in butan-2-ol afforded 2-amino-4-acyl-(aroyl)-6-halopyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles, whereas the major products in the reactions with HCl and HBr in aqueous solution were the corresponding 2-(5-amino-2-aryl-2-chloro(bromo)-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)malononitriles. The reaction with aqueous hydrogen iodide was accompanied by reductive deiodination and produced 2-(5-amino-2-aryl-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)malononitriles.

The condensation of salicylaldehydes and malononitrile revisited: synthesis of new dimeric chromene derivatives

The reaction of salicylic aldehydes with malononitrile was reinvestigated, and the reaction pathway was followed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. A delicate control of the experimental conditions allowed the synthesis of 2-imino-2H-chromene-3-carbonitriles 1, (2-amino-3-cyano-4H-chromen-4-yl)malononitriles 2, 4-amino-5-imino-2,7-dimethoxy-5H-chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine-1-carbonitrile 12, and (4,5-diamino-1-cyano-1,10b-dihydro-2H-chromeno[3,4-c]pyridin-2-ylidene)malononitrile 13. Two novel 2-iminochromene dimers, with structures 8 and 9, were isolated and fully characterized. The activity of compound 8a on Aspergillus spp. growth and on ochratoxin A production was evaluated. The results of the bioassays indicate that compound 8a, applied at concentrations of 2 mM, totally inhibited the growth of the fungi tested. Ochratoxin A production by Aspergillus alliaceus was reduced by about 93% with a 200 microM solution of this compound.
