The Mannich reaction in the synthesis of N,S-containing heterocycles

Reactions of 6-aryl-5-cyano-4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines with formaldehyde and primary amines gave earlier unknown 3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b]-[1,3,5]thiadiazine derivatives in 58–94% yields. In boiling AcOH, these pyrimidothiadiazines underwent the retro-Mannich reaction leading to the starting pyrimidine-2-thiones. The structure of 3-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-6-oxo-8-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3,5]thiadiazine-7-carbonitrile was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Three-component condensation in the synthesis of substituted tetrahydropyridinethiolates

Multicomponent cyclocondensation of Meldrum's acid, 2-chlorobenzaldehyde, and N-(4-bromophenyl)-3-amino-3-thioxopropanamide in the presence of N-methylmorpholine afforded N-methylmorpholinium 3-[N-(4-bromophenyl)carbamoyl]-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-6-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-2-thiolate in 65% yield.

The reaction of benzaldehyde, -nitro ketone, and cyanothioacetamide in the presence of morpholine has given the novel 3,4-trans-2-R-5-cyano-2-hydroxy-3-nitro-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-6-thiolates.

Stereoselective synthesis of and atropisomerism in 4-pyridyl-3-(1-pyridinio)-3,4-trans-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridines and their transformation products

A series of 2-oxo-4-pyridyl-3-(1-pyridinio)-5-cyano-3,4-trans-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine-6-6-olates were prepared by condensation of pyridinium ylides with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds or more conveniently by a three-component condensation of pyridinium ylides, pyridine aldehydes, and ethyl cyanoacetate 3 and/or 6 . This analogues of the above tetrahydropyridines were prepared in a similar way starting from suitable substrates. Spectroscopic data revealed that the reaction leads to trans-isomers around the C³-C⁴ bond and is atroposelective. The conformation of and tautomerism in the tetrahydropyridines are discussed in the light of ¹H NMR data.
