5,5'-(4-Nitrobenzylidene)bis(2-thiobarbituric) acid and 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,8-dithioxo-5,7,8,9-tetrahydro-2H-pyrano[2,3-d:6,5-d']dipyrimidine-4,6(1H,3H)-dione, similar to unsubstituted 2-thiobarbituric acid, readily react with haloacetic acids and their esters to form regioselectively the S-alkylation products. The alternative routes fo 5,5'-(4-nitrobenzylidene)bis[(4-hydroxy-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5,2-diyl)sulfanyl]diacetic acids, based on condensation of 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidin-2-ylthioacetic acid with carbonyl compounds followed by cyclodehydration to [(5-(4-nitrophenyl)-4,6-dioxo-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4H-pyrano[2,3-d:6,5-d']dipyrimidine-2,8-diyl)di(sulfanyl)]diacetic acid derivatives, are less efficient.

2-Acyl(aroyl)-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides: VI. Reaction with hydrogen halides

Reactions of 2-aroyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides with hydrogen halides in solvents of low dielectric permittivity result in the formation of 6-amino-2-aroyl-2-halopyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles. 2-Acyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides under similar conditions afford 2-(2-alkylidene-5-amino-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)propanedinitriles. In solvents of high dielectric permittivity the result of the reaction depends on the nature of the hydrogen halide and the acyl(aroyl) substituent: With HCl and HBr 2-aroyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides form 2-(5-amino-2-aryl-2-halo-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)-propanedinitriles, and 2-acyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropenides give 2-(2-alkylidene-5-amino-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)propanedinitriles; with HI depending on the reaction conditions and the structure of the acyl substituent 2-(5-amino-2-aryl-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene)propanedinitriles, 2-(5-amino-4-cyano-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-ylidene) propane-dinitrile, 2-amino-4-(dimethoxybenzyl)-6-iodo-5-cyanonicotinamide, 4-amino-6-iodo-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-7-carbonitrile, or 4-amino-6-iodo-3-oxo-1-ethylidene-1,3-dihydrofuro[3,4-c]pyridine-7-carbonitrile are obtained.     

Lewis acid-mediated reactions of 1-cyclopropyl-2-arylethanone derivatives with allenic ester, ethyl acetoacetate, and methyl acrylate

TMSOTf-mediated reactions of 2-aryl-1-(1-phenylcyclopropyl)ethanones 1 with allenic esters afford a novel method for the synthesis of 6-methyl-3a,7-diaryl-3,3a-dihydro-2H-benzofuran-4-one derivatives 2 in moderate yields. In addition, we also found that TMSOTf-mediated reactions of 1-cyclopropyl-2-arylethanones with ethyl acetoacetate can provide the corresponding 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-4-ol and dihydrofuro[2,3-h]chromen-2-one in moderate yields via a sequential reaction involving a nucleophilic ring-opening reaction of the cyclopropane by H2O, one intermolecular aldol type reaction and two intramolecular aldol type reactions, a cyclic transesterification, dehydration, and aromatization. Moreover, by using methyl acrylate to replace allenic ester, the corresponding 7-aryl-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-benzofuran-4-one and 5-aryl-3,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2 H-benzofuran-4-one can be formed in moderate to high yields in the presence of Bi(OTf)2Cl. Plausible reaction mechanisms have also been provided on the basis of control experiments.
