The synthesis of aryl‐bis(6‐amino‐1,3‐dimethyluracil‐5‐yl)‐methanes 3a‐m by condensation of 6‐amino‐1,3‐dimethyluracil ( 1 ) with aromatic aldehydes 2a‐m at room temperature is reported. The structures of the compounds were established using various spectroscopic analyses and X‐ray crystallography. The crystal structures of two aryl‐bis (6‐amino‐1,3‐dimethyluracil‐5‐yl) methanes are presented.     

Synthesis of 3‐Ω‐amino‐2‐thiohydantoins

In the reaction of ethyl isothiocyanatoacetate with diamines, followed by cyclization of the intermediate product, 3‐monosubstituted thiohydantoins have been obtained. It was found that the reaction course depends on the purity of the isothiocyanate used and also, in the case of dialkylaminoamines, the self‐cyclization occurs. Besides the dialkylamino derivatives of 3‐monosubstituted 2‐thiohydantoins also new monoalkylamino, amino and heterocyclic derivatives were synthesized. The aryldiazonium derivative of 3‐monosubstituted 2‐thiohydantoin yielded both respective phenol derivative after hydrolysis and the product of coupling with 2‐naphthol.     

5‐Acetyl‐2‐amino‐6‐methyl‐4‐(3‐nitrophenyl)‐4H‐pyran‐3‐carbonitrile and 2‐amino‐5‐ethoxycarbonyl‐6‐methyl‐4‐(3‐nitrophenyl)‐4H‐pyrano‐3‐carbonitrile

The structures of the title compounds, C₁₅H₁₃N₃O₄, (I), and C₁₆H₁₅N₃O₅ [IUPAC name: ethyl 6‐amino‐5‐cyano‐2‐methyl‐4‐(3‐nitro­phenyl)‐4H‐pyrano‐3‐carboxyl­ate], (II), are very similar, with the heterocyclic rings adopting boat conformations. The pseudo‐axial m‐nitro­phenyl substituents are rotated by 84.0 (1) and 98.7 (1)° in (I) and (II), respectively, with respect to the four coplanar atoms of the boat. The dihedral angles between the phenyl rings and nitro groups are 12.1 (2) and 8.4 (2)° in (I) and (II), respectively. The two compounds have similar patterns of intermolecular N—H?O and N—H?N hydrogen bonding, which link mol­ecules into infinite tapes along b .     

Chemical transformations of 3‐amino‐2‐quinolones

In order to find new antimalarial drugs, an exploration about the chemical properties of the starting compounds 3‐amino‐6‐chloro‐4‐phenyl‐1H‐quinolin‐2‐one ( 1 ) and 3‐amino‐4‐methyl‐1H‐quinolin‐2‐one ( 2 ) was developed. Acylation with acyl chloride, sulfonyl chloride and acetic anhydride were carried out. Despite a previous report [2], when acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride were assayed on 1 , only the diacetyl derivative 7 was obtained. When this compound was heated at reflux temperature in a mixture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride, it was transformed in the oxazoloquinoline 8 . Further reactions of the acyl derivatives with diazomethane afforded 1‐methylated compounds. Compound 2 gave the imine 16 by condensation with 4‐nitrobenzaldehyde.     

Ethyl 6‐amino‐2‐methoxypyridine‐3‐carboxyl­ate,interplay of molecular and supramolecular structure

The title compound, C₉H₁₂N₂O₃, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. There is extensive hydrogen bonding which results in the formation of a two‐dimensional corrugated sheet. This supramolecular structure is determined by the formation of hydrogen‐bonded chains resulting from the presence of a 6‐amino group and an ethoxy­carbonyl group as substituents on a pyridine ring in relative para positions which constitute a π‐electron `push–pull' system.     

An amino–imino resonance study of 2‐amino‐4‐methylpyridinium nitrate and 2‐amino‐5‐methylpyridinium nitrate

The contributions of the amino and imino resonance forms to the ground‐state structures of 2‐amino‐4‐methylpyridinium nitrate, C₆H₉N₂⁺·NO₃⁻, and the previously reported 2‐amino‐5‐methylpyridinium nitrate [Yan, Fan, Bi, Zuo & Zhang (2012). Acta Cryst. E 68 , o2084], were studied using a combination of IR spectroscopy, X‐ray crystallography and density functional theory (DFT). The results show that the structures of 2‐amino‐4‐methylpyridine and 2‐amino‐5‐methylpyridine obtained upon protonation are best described as existing largely in the imino resonance forms.     

Synthesis of Sulfonimidamides from Sulfenamides via an Alkoxy‐amino‐λ6‐sulfanenitrile Intermediate

Sulfonimidamides are intriguing new motifs for medicinal and agrochemistry, and provide attractive bioisosteres for sulfonamides. However, there remain few operationally simple methods for their preparation. Here, the synthesis of NH‐sulfonimidamides is achieved directly from sulfenamides, themselves readily formed in one step from amines and disulfides. A highly chemoselective and one‐pot NH and O transfer is developed, mediated by PhIO in iPrOH, using ammonium carbamate as the NH source, and in the presence of 1 equivalent of acetic acid. A wide range of functional groups are tolerated under the developed reaction conditions, which also enables the functionalization of the antidepressants desipramine and fluoxetine and the preparation of an aza analogue of the drug probenecid. The reaction is shown to proceed via different and concurrent mechanistic pathways, including the formation of novel S≡N sulfanenitrile species as intermediates. Several alkoxy‐amino‐λ⁶‐sulfanenitriles are prepared with different alcohols, and shown to be alkylating agents to a range of nucleophiles.     

5‐Acetyl‐2‐amino‐6‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐4H‐pyran‐3‐carbonitrile and 2‐amino‐5‐benzoyl‐6‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐4H‐pyran‐3‐carbonitrile acetonitrile solvate

The syntheses, X‐ray structural investigations and calculations of the conformational preferences of the carbonyl substituent with respect to the pyran ring have been carried out for the two title compounds, viz. C₁₅H₁₄N₂O₂, (II), and C₂₀H₁₆N₂O₂·C₂H₃N, (III), respectively. In both mol­ecules, the heterocyclic ring adopts a flattened boat conformation. In (II), the carbonyl group and a double bond of the heterocyclic ring are syn, but in (III) they are anti. The carbonyl group forms a short contact with a methyl group H atom in (II). The dihedral angles between the pseudo‐axial phenyl substituent and the flat part of the pyran ring are 92.7 (1) and 93.2 (1)° in (II) and (III), respectively. In the crystal structure of (II), inter­molecular N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into a sheet along the (103) plane, while in (III), they link the mol­ecules into ribbons along the a axis.     

4‐Dimethyl­amino‐β‐nitro­styrene and 4‐dimethyl­amino‐β‐ethyl‐β‐nitro­styrene at 100 K

The structures of 4‐dimethyl­amino‐β‐nitro­styrene (DANS), C₁₀H₁₂N₂O₂, and 4‐dimethyl­amino‐β‐ethyl‐β‐nitro­styrene (DAENS), C₁₂H₁₆N₂O₂, have been solved at T = 100 K. The structure solution for DANS was complicated by the presence of a static disorder, characterized by a misorientation of 17% of the mol­ecules. The mol­ecule of DANS is almost planar, indicating significant conjugation, with a push–pull effect through the styrene skeleton extending up to the terminal substituents and enhancing the dipole moment. As a consequence of this conjugation, the hexa­gonal ring displays a quinoidal character; the lengths of the C—N [1.3595 (15) Å] and C—C [1.448 (2) Å] bonds adjacent to the benzene ring are shorter than single bonds. The mol­ecules are stacked in dimers with anti­parallel dipoles. In contrast, the mol­ecule of DAENS is not planar. The ethyl substituent pushes the nitro­propene group out of the benzene plane, with a torsion angle of −21.9 (3). Nevertheless, the mol­ecule remains conjugated, with a shortening of the same bonds as in DANS.     

Ethyl 3‐amino‐6‐phenyl‐4‐tolylthieno[2,3‐b]pyridine‐2‐carboxylate

In the title compound, C₂₃H₂₀N₂O₂S, the central thieno­pyridine ring system is essentially planar, the dihedral angle between the planes of the two rings being 0.3 (2)°. The terminal ethyl carboxyl­ate group is twisted by 26.7 (3)° away from the central ring system. A short intramolecular hydrogen bond involving the amino N atom and the carbonyl O atom [N⋯O = 2.806 (4) Å] forms a pseudo‐six‐membered ring. Significant intermolecular C—H⋯N, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions contribute strongly to the stability of the structure, along with weak π–π‐stacking interactions.     

Polar aspects of intramolecular interactions in 2‐amino‐5‐nitro‐4‐methylpyridines and 2‐amino‐3‐nitro‐4‐methylpyridines

The dipole moments of twelve 2‐N‐substituted amino‐5‐nitro‐4‐methylpyridines ( I‐XII ) and three 2‐N‐substituted amino‐3‐nitro‐4‐methylpyridines ( XIII‐XV ) were determined in benzene. The polar aspects of intramolecular charge‐transfer and intramolecular hydrogen bonding were discussed. The interaction dipole moments, μ_int, were calculated for 2‐N‐alkyl(or aryl)amino‐5‐nitro‐4‐methylpyridines. Increased alkylation of amino nitrogen brought about an intensified push‐pull interaction between the amino and nitro groups. The solvent effects on the dipole moments of 2‐N‐methylamino‐5‐nitro‐4‐methyl‐( I ), 2‐N,N‐dimethylamino‐5‐nitro‐4‐methyl‐ ( II ) and 2‐N‐methylamino‐3‐nitro‐4‐methylpyridines ( XIII ) were different. Specific hydrogen bond solute‐solvent interactions increased the charge‐transfer effect in I , but it did not disrupt the intramolecular hydrogen bond in XIII.     

Improved Synthesis of 2‐Chloro‐3‐amino‐4‐methylpyridine

2‐Chloro‐3‐amino‐4‐methylpyridine ( 1 ), a key intermediate in the synthesis of nervirapine, was prepared from 2‐cyanoacetamide and 4,4‐dimethoxyl‐2‐butanone via condensation, cyclization, one‐pot reaction of chlorination and hydrolysis, and Hofmann reaction. Utilization of the quadratic orthogonal test resulted in a high yield (62.1%) of the whole process.     

A facile synthesis of substituted 3‐amino‐1H‐quinazoline‐2,4‐diones

A new synthesis of a series of 3‐amino‐1H‐quinazoline‐2,4‐diones is described. The 1H‐quinazoline‐2,4‐dione 10 was made starting with fluorobenzoic acid in three high yielding steps. The key step of this synthesis involved the generation of the dianion of urea 7 and the subsequent intramolecular nucleophilic displacement of the 2‐fluoro to form the quinazolinedione ring. The 3‐amino moiety was incorporated using (2,4‐dinitro‐phenyl)‐hydroxylamine as the aminating reagent.     

Synthesis and self‐assembly behavior study of α,ω‐dicarboxyl‐poly(ethylene glycol)–permethyl‐6‐amino‐6‐deoxy‐β‐cyclodextrin‐monoamide: A new β‐cyclodextrin conjugate

A new type of amphiphilic macromolecule was synthesized through the attachment of a poly(ethylene glycol) chain to a permethyl‐amino‐β‐cyclodextrin ring. The structure of the product was studied with 1D and 2D NMR experiments and with MALDI‐TOF MS. The resulting comet‐shaped molecule showed self‐assembly behavior in polar solvents. The presence of supramolecular structures in aqueous media was detected with dynamic light scattering and proven also by 2D NOESY and DOSY experiments. The supramolecular structures that formed could serve as starting materials for new types of drug delivery bioconjugates containing two independent dopable sites, that is, the cyclodextrin ring and the core of the supramolecular structure. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Halogen,hydrogen and electrostatic interactions in 2‐amino‐5‐chloro‐1,3‐benzoxazol‐3‐ium nitrate and 2‐amino‐5‐chloro‐1,3‐benzoxazol‐3‐ium perchlorate

In the title compounds, C₇H₆ClN₂O⁺·NO₃⁻ and C₇H₆ClN₂O⁺·ClO₄⁻, the ions are connected by N—H...O hydrogen bonds and halogen interactions. Additionally, in the first compound, co‐operative π–π stacking and halogen...π interactions are observed. The energies of the observed interactions range from a value typical for very weak interactions (1.80 kJ mol⁻¹) to one typical for mildly strong interactions (53.01 kJ mol⁻¹). The iminium cations exist in an equilibrium form intermediate between exo‐ and endocyclic. This study provides structural insights relevant to the biochemical activity of 2‐amino‐5‐chloro‐1,3‐benzoxazole compounds.     

Synthesis of 2‐amino‐4,5‐dihydro‐3‐methanesulfonylfurans (and ‐thiophenes)

2‐Amino‐4,5‐dihydro‐3‐methanesulfonylfurans 7 and 2‐amino‐4,5‐dihydro‐3‐methanesulfonylthiophenes 8 were prepared by deamidation of tetrahydro‐2‐imino‐3‐methanesulfonyl‐3‐furancarboxamides 3 and of tetrahydro‐2‐imino‐3‐methanesulfonyl‐3‐thiophenecarboxamides 4 with bases. Compounds 3 and 4 were obtained by reaction of 2‐amino‐4,5‐dihydro‐3‐furancarboxamides 1 and 2‐amino‐4,5‐dihydro‐3‐thio‐phenecarboxamides 2 with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine.     

Z and E isomers of butenedioic acid with 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazole: 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazolium hydrogen maleate and 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazolium hydrogen fumarate

Maleic acid and fumaric acid, the Z and E isomers of butenedioic acid, form 1:1 adducts with 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazole, namely 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazolium hydrogen maleate (2ATHM), C₃H₅N₂S⁺·C₄H₃O₄⁻, and 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazolium hydrogen fumarate (2ATHF), C₃H₅N₂S⁺·C₄H₃O₄⁻, respectively. In both compounds, protonation of the ring N atom of the 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazole and deprotonation of one of the carboxyl groups are observed. The asymmetric unit of 2ATHF contains three independent ion pairs. The hydrogen maleate ion of 2ATHM shows a short intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond with an O...O distance of 2.4663 (19) Å. An extensive hydrogen‐bonded network is observed in both compounds, involving N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds. 2ATHM forms two‐dimensional sheets parallel to the ab plane, extending as independent parallel sheets along the c axis, whereas 2ATHF forms two‐dimensional zigzag layers parallel to the bc plane, extending as independent parallel layers along the a axis.     

A three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded framework in 2‐amino‐6‐(N‐methylanilino)pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one and a ribbon of fused hydrogen‐bonded rings in 2‐amino‐6‐(N‐methylanilino)‐5‐nitropyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one

The molecular dimensions of both 2‐amino‐6‐(N‐methylanilino)pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one, C₁₁H₁₂N₄O, (I), and 2‐amino‐6‐(N‐methylanilino)‐5‐nitropyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one, C₁₁H₁₁N₅O₃, (II), are consistent with considerable polarization of the molecular–electronic structures. The molecules of (I) are linked into a three‐dimensional framework by a combination of one N—H...N hydrogen bond, two independent N—H...O hydrogen bonds and one C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bond. The molecules of (II) are linked into ribbons containing three types of edge‐fused ring by the combination of two independent three‐centre N—H...(O)₂ hydrogen bonds.
