Zur Synthese der 4-Dialkylamino-5,6-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridinthione sowie entsprechender 4-Alkylamino- bzw. 4-Arylaminoverbindungen

The rearrangement of 1-alkyl- and 1-aryldihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethiones (1 a) or-ones (1 b) and of methylene compounds (2a, 2b) resp., to 4-alkylamino- and 4-arylaminodihydro-2(1H)-pyridinethiones (4 a) or-ones (4 b) takes place via the corresponding 3-alkylamino- and 3-aryl-amino-3-butenylisothiocyanates (3 a) or-isocyanates (3 b). Dialkylamino-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridinethiones (10) are formed by heating dihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethiones (6 a) and 3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-1,3-thiazin-2-thiones (6 b) with dialkylformamides and by the reaction of secondary amines with tetrahydro-6-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3-thiazin-2-thiones (5 a), with N,N-dialkyl-N-(3-oxobutyl)-thioureas (7) and 3-oxobutyl isothiocyanates (8). A general method for the preparation of10 is the reaction of dialkylammoniumrhodanides12, N,N-dialkylthioureas13 and dialkylammonium chlorides and KCNS, resp., with 3-alken-2-ones14 and 4-hydroxy-2-alkanones15, resp. Methyl ketones such as acetone, which readily undergo the aldol condensation, behave analogously. The reactions described take place via the intermediate aminoalkenyl isothiocyanates (9).
