Reaction of 2,6-dibutylaminohepta-2,5-dien-4-one with malononitrile

Malononitrile reacted with the title compound to give 6-amino-5-cyano-2-(3,3-dicyano-2-methylallylidene-4-methyl-2H-pyran (3). Treatment of 3 with hot 80% sulfuric acid yielded 4,7-dimethyl-56-hydroxy-2(1H)quinolone. With concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide, 3 gave 5-amino-3,6-dicyano-4,7-dimethyl-2(1H)quinolone and 5-amino-6-carbamoyl-3-cyano-4,7-dimethyl-2(1H)quinolone. The reaction of 3 with hydrochloric in acetic acid gave a mixture of 6-amino-3,7-dicyano-2,8-dimethyl-4-quinolizone and 3-cyano-4-methyl-6-(3,3-dicyano-2-methylallyl)-2-pyrone. Compound 3 also reacted with methylamine, butylamine and piperidine to give 8-amino-5-cyano-4-methyl-2-pyridone, 6-bulylamino-5-cyano-4-methyl-2-pyridone and 5-eyano-4-methyl-6-piperidino-2-pyridone respectively.     

Synthesis and chemical properties of 8-aryl-7-acyl-1-6-dimethyl-6-hydroxy-4-cyano-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinones and isoquinolinethiones

8-Aryl-7-acetyl-1, 6-dimethyl-6-hydroxy-4-cyano-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinones and -isoquinolinethiones and their sodium salts were obtained by the reaction of cyanoacetamide and cyanothioacetamide with 3-aryl-2, 4-diacetyl-5-methyl-5-hydroxycyclohexanonesinbasicrnedium. 8-Aryl-7-acetyl-6-methoxycarbonyl-1, 6-dimethyl-4-cyano-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinones were obtained by the reaction of acetyl chloride and the above isoquinolinone sodium salts. The reaction of iodoacetamide and the above isoquinolinethione sodium salts yielded 8-aryl-7-acetyl-3-carbamoylmethylthio-1, 6-dimethyl-4-cyano-5, 6, 7, 8-tetra-hydroisoquinolines, which were cyclized into 1-amino-6-aryl-7-acetyl-2-carbamoyl-5, 8-dimethyl-8-hydroxy-6, 7, 8, 9-tetrahydrothiophene[2,3-c]isoquinolines in basic medium.     

Reactions of 4-cyano- and 4-methylimidazoles with isocyanates

4-Cyano- and 4-methylimidazoles reacted with methyl and aryl isocyanates to give exclusively 1-(substituted carbamoyl)-4-cyano- and 4-methylimidazoles, respectively. Refluxing of 1-carbamoyl-4-methylimidazoles in nitrobenzene yielded 2-carbamoyl-4-methylimidazoles through a known migration, whereas the 4-cyano analogues could not be caused to migrate. On the other hand, the treatment of 4-cyano-1-(methylcarbamoyl)imidazole with methyl isocyanate under the basic conditions resulted in the formation of 2-methyl-1-(methylcarbamoylimino)-2, 3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1, 5-c]imidazol-3-one which must be formed via the migration of the carbamoyl group to another nitrogen followed by the intramolecular cyclization of the newly introduced carbamoyl group with its viccyano group.     

Regio- and stereoselective synthesis of tetrahydroindolysines,tetrahydropyridin-6-olates,and cyclopropanes from pyridinium ylides and unsaturated nitriles

The regio- and stereoselectivity of the reactions of pyridinium ylides with unsaturated nitriles are dependent on the electronic nature of the substituent in position 3 of the pyridine ring. The reaction of 1-carbamoylmethylide-3-cyanopyridinium with arylmethylenemalononitriles or arylmethylcyanoacetic esters proceeds regio- and stereoselectively with the formation of substituted 2-aryl-3-carbamoyl-6-cyano-2,3-trans- or 2,3-cis-1,2,3,8a-tetrahydroindolysines. The condensation of pyridinium 1-carbamoylmethylide with arylmethylenecyanoacetic ether leads to 4-aryl-2-oxo-3-(1-pyridinio)-5-cyano-3,4-trans-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridin-6-olates. The reaction of pyridinium (3-methylpyridinium) 1-carbamoylmethylide with arylmethylenemalononitriles results in the formation of 2-aryl-1,1-dicyano-3-carbamoyl-3-(1-pyridinio)- or (3-methyl-1-pyridinio)-1-propanides, which undergo stereoselective 1,3-transelimination with the formation of 3-aryl-1,1-dicyano-2-carbamoylcyclopropanes.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 146–155.
