The regiospecific N‐sulfonylation and N‐phosphorylation of benzoyl‐substituted heterocyclic ketene aminals

The regiospecific N‐sulfonylation and N‐phosphorylation of benzoyl‐substituted heterocyclic ketene aminals have been investigated. In the presence of sodium hydride, benzoyl‐substituted heterocyclic ketene aminals 1 or 2 reacted with p‐toluenesulfonyl chloride 3 to give (E)‐1‐(p‐toluenesulfonyl)‐2‐(aroylmethylene)imidazolidine 4 or (E)‐1‐(p‐toluenesulfonyl)‐2‐(aroylmethylene)hexahydropyrimidine 5, respectively. Under the same condition, 1 reacted with diethyl chlorothiophosphate 6 to give diethyl [2‐(aroylmethylene)imidazolidin‐1‐yl]thiophosphate 7. However, 2 failed to react with 6 to give N‐phosphorylated products. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 10: 297–301, 1999

Diaminomethylidene derivatives of β-oxo sulfones as potential reagents in heterocyclic synthesis and chelating ligands

Active methylene β-oxo sulfones add to the C≡N bond of benzoylcyanamide in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ni(acac)₂. Debenzoylation of the reaction products under the action of MeONa in MeOH gives N,N′-unsubstituted diaminomethylidene derivatives of β-oxo sulfones (acyl(R-sulfonyl)ketene aminals), which can be used as reagents for heterocyclic synthesis and as chelating ligands. The syntheses of 2-amino-3-arylsulfonylpyridin-4(1H)-ones and 5-sulfonylcytosine derivatives are presented as examples.

Reactions of Thiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazolium N-Ylides with Electron-deficient Acetylenes: Novel Benzoyl Migration of Intermediary 1:1-Adducts and Michael Addition to the Acetylenes

Abstract

Reactions of thiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazolium N-methylides with electron-deficient acetylenes gave the thiazole ring-opened products as a mixture of the E-and Z-isomers. In contrast, the N-phenacylides reacted with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to give the thiobenzoates together with the thiazole ring-opened products. The mechanism for formation of these compounds is described.     

Facile Synthesis of Nicotinic Acid Derivatives with Unsymmetrical Substitution Patterns

Abstract

Two novel methods for synthesis of nicotinic acid derivatives with unsymmetrical substitution patterns were presented via ketene dithioacetals.

An Efficient One‐Pot Four‐Component Synthesis of Functionalized Imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridines

An efficient one‐pot four‐component protocol for the synthesis of imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridines was developed by condensing ethane‐1,2‐diamine ( 2 ), 1,1‐bis(methylthio)‐2‐nitroethene ( 1 ), aldehydes 3 , and activated methylene compounds in EtOH under reflux conditions (Tables 1–3). The features of this procedure are operational simplicity, good yields of products, in situ preparation of heterocyclic ketene aminals (HKA), and catalyst‐free conditions.     

SOME REACTIONS OF CHOLESTERYL N-PHENYL-PHOSPHORAMIDIC CHLORIDE AND RELATED COMPOUNDS

Abstract

Cholesteryl N-phenylphosphoramidic chloride has been converted to the corresponding phosphoramidic hydrazide and azide. The former compound was characterised by the preparation of a number of hydrazones, while the latter has been reacted with norbornene, dimethylsulphoxide, and triphenylphosphine. However, the azide did not react with decane, o-anisole, or butylamine. 17-Oxoandrost-5-ene-3β-yl N-phenylphosphoramidic chloride was prepared and was converted to the hydrazide, but a pure sample of the azide could not be isolated. Cholesteryl N-phenyl phosphoramidic triphenylphosphinimine has been reacted with eight carbonyl compounds and the structures of the products investigated. Cholesteryl N-cyclohexylphosphoramidic chloride was converted to the azide and the triphenylphosphinimine; the latter was reacted with acetone and p-nitrobenzaldehyde.

Cholesteryl phosphorodichloridate has been condensed with phenol, p-nitrophenol, and p-methoxyphenol to give the corresponding O-arylphosphorochloridates. The O-phenyl and O-p-methoxyphenyl phosphorochloridates have been converted to the corresponding azides, but the azide from the p-nitrophenyl derivative could not be isolated. The reactions of cholesteryl phosphorodichloridate with diethylamine, hydrazine, and sodium azide have also been examined; and cholesteryl phosphorodichloridothioate has been condensed with aniline and benzylamine.     

Application of selective 1 : 2 addition of ketene N,N-acetal and isocyanates to novel polyamide syntheses

1,1-Bis(dimethylamino)ethylene (ketene N,N-acetal) (1) reacted with isocyanates to give either 1 : 1 adduct 3,3-bis(dimethylamino)acrylamides (3) or 1 : 2 adduct bis(dimethylamino)methylenemalonamides (4), depending on the amount of the charged isocyanate. 3 was obtained selectively in the case of isocyanate/1 = 1, while 4 was exclusively yielded in the case of isocyanate/1 = 2. Isothiocyanate showed similar reaction behavior as isocyanate. Polyaddition of 1 with diisocyanates afforded polyamides bearing a bis(dimethylamino)methylenemalonamide group with higher molecular weight. The obtained novel polyamides are soluble in various organic solvents, and reacted with diacid chloride to give crosslinked polymer quantitatively. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A Novel Approach to the Synthesis of C-Glycosyl Compounds: The Wittig Rearrangement

Abstract

Partially protected benzyl α-and β-pyranosides undergo Wittig rearrangement reactions on treatment with strong bases in tetrahydrofuran to give hydroxymethylphenyl C-glycosyl derivatives. Two products were generally obtained and all Wittig rearrangement products retained the configuration at the migrating anomeric center. In benzene, benzyl 4,6-O-isopropylidene-β-D-glucopyranoside reacted with n-butyl lithium to give addition to the anomeric center accompanied by ring opening with loss of the aglycone. Allyl glycosides do not give Wittig rearrangement products.
