Über die Reaktionen von 2-Cyclohexenonen mit Ammoniumthiocyanat bzw. Thioharnstoff Über Heterocyclen, 59. Mitteilung

The 2-cyclohexenones1 a, b andc react with NH₄SCN to give 3,5,5-trimethyl-, 3-methyl-5-phenyl- and 3-methyl-2-cyclohexeniminiumthiocyanates8 a, b andc resp. (i.e. salts of α,β-unsaturated imines) and not the expected diazabicyclononane-thiones5 a, b andc. Alternative formulae for the1—NH₄SCN-condensates are discussed and rejected on the basis of IR- and NMR-spectra and the chemical properties of5 a-c. By action of thiourea inMeOH/NaOMe the 2-cyclohexenones1a, d ande are transformed into 1-hydroxy-5,7,7-trimethyl-, 1-hydroxy-5-methyl- and 1-hydroxy-2,4-diazabicyclo3.3.1]nonane-3-thiones5 a, d ande resp. The structure of the diazabicyclononane-thiones5 a, d ande is established by means of NMR-, IR- and MS-spectra. 8 a-c and5 e showed no significant herbicidal and only small fungicidal (8 b, c) and insecticidal (8 a-c) activities in screening tests.
