A Convenient Synthesis of 2-Amino-1,3- selenazoles Using Ionic Liquid and Microwave Irradiation

Abstract

A simple and environmentally benign synthesis of 2-amino-1,3-selenazoles by microwave irradiation using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim]BF₄) ionic liquid (IL) is described. Acyl halides, phenacyl halides, and α-bromo-β-keto esters easily undergo condensation with selenourea in ([Bmim]BF₄) by microwave irradiation to afford the desired products of good purity in excellent yields. The ionic liquid can be easily recovered and reused at least 10 times without losing its activity. The duration of the reaction ranges from 4–6 min.

Summary: This paper reports the microwave mediated direct synthesis of N‐phenylmaleimide ( 3 ) from maleic anhydride ( 1 ) and aniline ( 2 ) by using microwave irradiation. Good yields and very short reaction times were the main aspects of the method. The reaction conditions and kinetics of this process were investigated. Microwave irradiation in a boiling solvent showed the existence of a significant specific microwave effect.
