Ring-expansion of tertiary cyclic alpha-vinylamines by tandem conjugate addition to (p-toluenesulfonyl)ethyne and formal 3-aza-Cope rearrangement

A novel ring-expansion protocol is based on the conjugate additions of cyclic alpha-vinylamines to (p-toluenesulfonyl)ethyne, followed by aza-Cope rearrangements of the resulting zwitterions, to afford medium and large-ring cyclic amines under remarkably mild conditions.     

Investigation of heterocycles containing nitrogen or sulfur. 47. Reactions of 1,2-dioxo-3a-alkyl-4,7-dichloroxazolidino [3,2-f]pyrido[2,3-b]-1,4-thiazines with saturated cyclic amines. synthesis and structure of derivatives of 1,2-dihydrothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine

It has been established spectroscopically that 1-N-oxalamides of 2-acyl-5-chloro-1,2-dihydrothiazolo[5,4-b] pyridine are formed in the reaction of 4,7-dichloroxazolidino[3,2-f]pyrido[2,3-b]-1,4-thiazines with morpholine, piperidine and pyrrolidine. The products are a mixture of amide conformers in solution. The reaction intermediate 2-(1-chloro-2-oxobutylthio)-3-pyrrolidinooxamoyl-6-chloropyridine has been isolated and characterized. A proposed reaction scheme is presented.For Communication 46 see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1125–1132, August, 1993.     

Heterocyclic β-Enamino esters. 28. The reaction of heterocyclic β-Enamino esters and nitriles with cyclic amidines. A simple route to azolopyrimidines

Whereas 2-amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-4,5-dihydrofurans Ia-c condense with 5-membered amidine derivatives, via elimination of ethanol to afford the azolopyrimidines IIIa,b, XI, and XIVa,b, the 2-amino-3-cyano-4,5-dihydrofurans Id,e give with the same reagents, under elimination of ammonia, the novel ring systems of furo-azolopyrimidines XVIII and XXa,b. 2-Amino-3-ethoxycarbonyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-thiopyrane (XXI) reacts with 5-amino-1,2,4-triazole (II) to yield the triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine XXII, and with 2-aminobenzimidazole to XXIII. The mechanism of these reactions is discussed. XIVb and VIIb are cyclized in a secondary step to give the novel furo[2,3-d]benzimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine XXVI, and furo[2,3-d]-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine XXVIII respectively, besides the acetoxy derivatives XVII and XXIX.
