Synthese von 1-substituierten 4-Amino-2(1H)-pyridinthionen durchDimroth-Umlagerung aus 2,4-Diaminothiopyranyliumhalogeniden

4-Amino-2-alkylimino-2H-thiopyranes (5) and 4-amino-2-alkylaminothiopyranylium halogenides (4) resp. on heating in refluxingDMFA are rearranged in the presence of Na-ethylate to 1-alkyl-4-aminodihydro-2(1H)-pyridinethiones (2). Also 2-methylthiothiopyranylidenammonium iodides (6) and 2-methylthio-4H-thiopyrane-4-one (7) can be transformed into 1-substituted 2(1 H)-pyridinethiones (2) by heating in prim. amines. On treatment with alkali. 4-dimethylaminothiopyranylium iodide (4 a) is transformed into its base5 a and hydrolyzed to8. 5a and8 are rearranged to the pyridinethiones2 a and the tautomers9 A,B. The structure of the rearranged pyridinethiones2 was proved by the1-phenylderivate2 a. Thus 4-methyl-3-penten-2-on reacts with phenylthiourea via the phenylimino-1,3-thiazine (14) to give 3-phenyl-2(1H)pyridinethione (15).15 is transformed by themethylpyrimidine-pyridine-rearrangement to the 1-phenylpyridinethione2 a. The mechanism of theDimroth-reaction of 2-alkylimino-2H-thiopyranes (5) and the stereochemistry of the1-benzyl-6-phenyl-2(1H)-pyridinethiones2 are discussed.
