Reactions of Amidines with 5-Methylene-1,3-dioxolan-2-ones

The composition and yields of the products from the reaction of 4,4-dialkyl-5-methylene-1,3-dioxolan-2-ones with amidines depend on the structure of the initial amidine and on the reaction conditions. 2-Aminopyridines lead to 3-substituted 4-hydroxy-4-methyloxazolidin-2-ones and 4-methylene-oxazolidin-2-ones and also to sym-carbamides. 2-Amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine leads to the corresponding 4-methyleneoxazolidin-2-one. 3-Aminothiazoles give linear oxourethanes and sym-carbamides.

Chlorination of 1,3-dioxolan-4-ones

It is shown that the direction of chlorination of 1,3-dioxolan-4-ones in the presence of benzoyl peroxide is determined by the nature of the substituent at the 5-position of the ring.
