Reactions of cyclic enaminoketones with benzylidenemalononitriles. Synthesis of new fused heterocyclic systems containing the 1,4-dihydropyridine fragment

The reactions of cyclic enaminoketones with benzylidenemalononitriles were examined and a new procedure was developed for the synthesis of fused heterocyclic systems containing the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring, viz., thienopyrimidoquinolines and furopyrimidoquinolines.

Microwave-assisted regioselective N-alkylation of cyclic amidines

A simple and efficient methodology for regioselective alkylation of exocyclic nitrogen of cyclic amidines was developed by microwave-assisted heating in the presence of amines. Novel N-alkylated 3,4-dihydropyrazino[2,1-b]quinazolin-6-ones were prepared in good yields. The reaction occurred via a transamination (addition-elimination) process involving a first attack of the amine on the electrophilic carbon of the amidine function.     

Reactions of phosphoric anhydride with acyclic amides. Synthesis of amidines and imides

Acyclic secondary amides such as benzanilides 1a–g , acetanilides 2a–d , and benzamide 1h undergo self-condensation in the presence of phosphoric anhydride to produce, in one step, N-substituted aroyl benzamidines 3a–g , acyl acetamidines 4a–d , and imide 5 , respectively. Mechanistic evidence is presented for nucleophilic attack by the iminol tautomers on the O-phosphorylated amides to give amidines and on the N-phosphorylated imidates to give imides. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Thermoplasticization of wood. II. Cyanoethylation

Cyanoethylation was attempted to convert wood into thermoplastic material as a means to utilize low quality wood species as well as wood waste materials. Cyanoethylation reaction was conducted with control of the alkalinity of the reaction media, reaction temperature and time, and wood-to-acrylonitrile ratio. Cyanoethylated wood was purified and its nitrogen content and weight gain were determined. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to monitor the absorption peak of cyano group. Thermoproperties of cyanoethylated wood were analyzed by means of a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and a dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer (DMTA). Reaction mechanisms and chemistry influencing the thermoproperties of cyanoethylated wood were discussed.
