Acylation products

Because the acylated product has a delocahsed lone pair and is less reactive than PhNHi. You may have been surprised that LiAlHi reduction completely removes the carbonyl oxygen atom. To help explain this, please draw the likely intermediate. 

Small amounts of salt-like addition products (85) formed by reaction on the ring nitrogen may be present in the medium. (Scheme 60) but. as the equilibrium is shifted by further reaction on the exocyclic nitrogen, the only observed products are exocyclic acylation products (87) (130. 243. 244). Challis (245) reviewed the general features of acylation reactions these are intervention of tetrahedral intermediates, general base catalysis, nucleophilic catalysis. Each of these features should operate in aminothiazoles reactivity. 

Similarly, A[-carboxy-a-amino acid anhydrides react with aromatics such as toluene, xylenes, and mesitylene to give a-amino acylated products ia moderate yields with almost complete retention of configuration of the a-amino acid. 

Acylation. Reaction conditions employed to acylate an aminophenol (using acetic anhydride in alkaU or pyridine, acetyl chloride and pyridine in toluene, or ketene in ethanol) usually lead to involvement of the amino function. If an excess of reagent is used, however, especially with 2-aminophenol, 0,A/-diacylated products are formed. Aminophenol carboxylates (0-acylated aminophenols) normally are prepared by the reduction of the corresponding nitrophenyl carboxylates, which is of particular importance with the 4-aminophenol derivatives. A migration of the acyl group from the O to the N position is known to occur for some 2- and 4-aminophenol acylated products. Whereas ethyl 4-aminophenyl carbonate is relatively stable in dilute acid, the 2-derivative has been shown to rearrange slowly to give ethyl 2-hydroxyphenyl carbamate [35580-89-3] (26). 

Acid anhydrides are also usehil for acylation of primary alcohols in organic solvents. The reaction produces high yields of the primary acylated products with only traces (1—2%) of diesters (95). 

Acylation of pyridazinones and related compounds in the presence of weakly basic catalysts such as pyridine or sodium acetate produces IV-acylated products, while O-acylated products are obtained under strongly basic conditions. However, the reaction between 6-chloropyridazin-3(2//)-one with chlorocarbonates and that of maleic hydrazide with unsaturated acid chlorides or chloromethylsulfonyl chloride gives preferentially N-substituted products. 

Acylation of pyridazinethiones with acetyl chloride or benzoyl chloride gives the corresponding S-acylated products. 6-Mercaptopyridazine-3(2//)-thione gives either mono- or di-S-acylated products. A bispyridazinyl derivative is formed when phosgene or thiophos-gene is used as acylating agent. 

Thiophene is also readily acylated under both Friedel-Crafts and Vilsmeier-Haack conditions and similarly to pyrrole and furan gives 2-acylated products. An almost quantitative conversion of thiophene into its 2-benzoyl derivative is obtained by reaction with 2-benzoyloxypyridine and trifluoroacetic acid. The attempted preparation of 2-benzoylthiophene under standard Friedel-Crafts conditions, however, failed (80S139). 

The dimethylsulfonium ylide (568) added readily to aroyl isocyanates to give the intermediate addition product (569). This on heating underwent ring closure with loss of dimethyl sulfide to form the 4-hydroxyoxazole (570) (73T1983). This normal C-acylation of the sulfonium ylide also leads to thiazoles with thiobenzoyl isocyanate in this case the initial acylation product was not isolated, the thiazole being obtained directly. 

Acylation of 3-alkyl-6-hydroxy-l,2-benzisoxazole has also been reported (77JIC875) under Friedel-Crafts conditions to give the 7-acyl product. Fries rearrangement of 6-acetoxy-3-methyl-1,2-benzisoxazole in the presence of AICI3 at 140 °C also provides a route to the 7-acetyl-6-hydroxy derivatives (73UC541). Reactions of these kind are rare in this series. 

In the investigation of a ring enlargement, discrimination was possible between the reaction paths via a 1,3-dipole (142) and a quaternary acyl product (143), precursors of different triazolidones. Exclusive formation of (144) from (141) and phenyl isocyanate decided in favor of the dipolar intermediate (142) (81JOC320). 

Lochte and Pitman (44) have reported the cyanoethylation of the pyrrolidine enamine of 3-methylcycIopentanone (84), the product being a mixture of C-2 and C-5 cyanoethylated ketones (85 and 86). Hunig and Salzwedel 20) have obtained a mixture of C2- and C5-acylated products from the reaction of morpholine enamine of 3-methylcyclopentanone with propionyl chloride. 

The acylation of enamino ketones can take place on oxygen or on carbon. While reaction at nitrogen is a possibility, the N-acylated products are themselves acylating agents, and further reaction normally takes place. The first reported acylation of enamino ketones (72) was that of 129, prepared by acylation of the enamine (113), which was shown to have undergone O acylation because on mild hydrolysis the enol ester (130) could be isolated. A similar reaction took place with other aliphatic acid chlorides (80) and with dibasic acid chlorides [e.g., with succinyl chloride to give 118 above]. 

The reaction of enamino ketones with isocyanates and isothiocyanates has not been studied extensively. The enamino ketone (162) has been shown to react with phenyl isothiocyanate to give 163, the product of C acylation 114). Enamino ester derivatives of acetoacetic ester react similarly with isothiocyanates, also giving the C-acylated products 115). 

In the acylation of enamines derived from 3-substituted cyclohexanones, 6-acylated products were favored over 2-acylated products (398), thus revealing another selective enamine reaction sequence. The use of oxalyl bromide for the acylation of enamines has also been described (399). 

Acylation of the vinylogous pyrrolidine amide of dimedone with acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride led (possibly indirectly) to the carbon acylation product, whereas trichloroacetyl chloride gave rise to products derived from attack of chloride at the oxygenated double bond position in an initial 0-acylation product (401-404). 

The acylation of enamines derived from cyclic ketones, which can lead to the acyl ketone or ring expansion (692-694), was studied by NMR and mass spectroscopic analysis of the products (695,696). In a comparative study of the rates of diphenylketene addition to olefins, a pronounced activation was observed in enamines (697). Enamine N- and C-acylation products were obtained from reactions of Schiff s bases (698), vinylogous urethanes (699), cyanamides (699), amides (670,700), and 2-benzylidene-3-methylbenzothiazoline (672) with acid chlorides, anhydrides, and dithio-esters (699). 

Analogously, the reactions of ketene aminals with ketene or dimethyl ketene gave y-amino-a-pyrones and the linear acylation products, respectively 422). 

The addition of phenylisocyanate (427) to enamines was soon found to lead to double acylation products. In the case of the cyclohexanone derived enamine, the first proposal (428) of a second acylation on nitrogen was... 

One of the extensively investigated applications of enamines to heterocyclic syntheses is based on the bifunctional character of enamine acylation products. Thus the vinylogous ureas and thiorueas obtained from enamines and phenylisocyanate and phenylisothiocyanate (-433) have been converted to aminopyrazoles and thiouracils with hydrazine (566) and phenylisocyanate (567). 

The 3-amino group of 3,4-diamino-2//-pyrido[l,2-u]pyrimidin-2-ones 216, obtained from 3-nitroso derivatives by reduction with Na2S204 in 30% NH4OH at 70-80 °C, was acylated with acyl chlorides, and the acylated products 217 were cyclized to pyrido[2,l-Z)]purin-10-ones 218 by treatment with NaOMe (95JHC1725). 

Acylation of thiosemicarbazide with propionyl chloride, interestingly, does not stop at the acylated product (124). Instead, this intermediate cyclizes to the thiadiazole, 125, under the reaction conditions. Hydrolysis then affords the heterocyclic amine, 126. Acylation by 88 followed by removal qf the acetyl group affords sulfaethidole (116) variation of thle acid chloride used in the preparation of the heterocycle leads to 117 and 118. 

A closely related oxygenated heterocyclic system devoid of acidic groups interestingly shows quite different biological activity. Thus, condensation of the benzofuran hydroxyketone 66 with ethyl thiomethyl acetate (67) probably proceeds initially by formation of the acylation product 68. Intramolecular dehydration leads to formation of a pyran ring. There is thus obtained the hypo-cholesterolemic agent timefurone (69) [14],... 

Introduction of the C-6 acyl side chain proceeded with only modest selectivity in the presence of l-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and 4-DMAP, giving a 3 2 mixture of C-6 and C-7 acylated products (Scheme 26).60 However,... 

Benzodiazepines react with methoxyketene, generated from methoxyacetyl chloride by the action of triethylamine (see Houben-Weyl, Vol. El 5, p2827fi), to give mixtures of cycloadducts and their acylation products, e.g. formation of 29 and 30.302... 

A similar rcgioselccti vity is observed in the Friedel-C rafts acylation of copper deuteroporphyrin dimethyl ester (6) which gives a mixture of two /Fmonoacylated products 9 when the reaction time and temperature are carefully controlled or diacylated products 10 on prolonged reaction time.85b-100 106 As with the four / -monoformylated deuteroporphyrin derivatives 7a. the acylated products can be separated by chromatography.100106... 

Interestingly, treatment of methyl trans-lH-3-phenylaziridine-2-carboxylate (131) with acetic acid gave the N-acylated product 133 (Scheme 3.47). It was proposed... 

As to the question of intra- or intermolecularity of the rearrangement there are three opinions, one which states that the reaction is completely intermolecular148, another supports a concurrent intra- and intermolecular mechanism149, whilst a third claims that the reaction is completely intramolecular150. Evidence for the intermolecular mechanism is based on trapping experiments such as the reaction of meta-tolyl acetate (CVIII) in the presence of we/a-chlorobenzoyl chloride (CIX) when the acylation product (CX) is formed rather than the products of... 

The low condensation of diacyl chloride and bis-orf/zo-aminophenol gave a polyhydroxy amide that was submitted to a thermal dehydration.185 187 The two functions of an aminophenol could be acylated, and the question of chemose-lective acylation has been discussed.188 The problem is not O-acylation versus N-acylation because the N-acylated product is tire more stable isomer, but the question is how to control N-monoacylation versus diacylation that could reduce the molecular weight. It has been shown that the condensation in the presence of inorganic salt (LiCl) in NMP gives selectively the N-monoacylated... 

If R is tertiary, RCOmay lose CO to give R, so that the alkylarene ArR is often a side product or even the main product. This kind of cleavage is much more likely with relatively unreactive substrates, where the acylium ion has time to break down. For example, pivaloyl chloride (McaCCOCl) gives the normal acyl product with anisole, but the alkyl product MesCPh with benzene. In the other mechanism an acyl cation is not involved, but the 1 1 complex attacks directly. 

Whereas some acyl products, especially RCOMn(CO)5 and RCOCo-(CO)4, easily eliminate carbon monoxide via the reverse of the insertion, others decarbonylate through a different route. For example, the reaction...
