4- Amino-5-cyano thiazoles, 2-substituted

Electrophilic substitution reactions of substituted 2,1-benziso-thiazoles have already been discussed. The only other functionally substituted compound so far studied in any detail is the 3-amino derivative (87). This compound is readily diazotized and the dia-zonium salt formed (88) couples with tertiary aromatic amines yielding azo dyes.117,119-121 The salt (88) also undergoes the usual Sandmeyer reactions, and other 3-substituted derivatives, such as the cyano compound (89) may be prepared.111 Acylation of the amine (87) yields diacyl derivatives which appear to possess the 3-acylimino structure (90).111... 

A new efficient procedure has been proposed for the synthesis of 3-aryl-5-amino-l//-pyrazoles by reaction of a-chloro-/ -arylacrylonitriles with hydrazine hydrate <2004RJ01518>. Reaction of 2-(3,3-dicyano-2-propenylidene)-4,4,5,5-tetra-methyl-l,3-dioxolane 641 with hydrazine afforded 3-(2-hydroxy-l,l,2-trimethylpropoxy)pyrazole 642 (Equation 134) <2003RJ01016>. Treatment of ethyl 3,3-dicyano-2-methoxyacrylate with alkyl, aryl, heterocyclic, and sulfonyl hydrazines led to the synthesis of N-l-substituted 3-acyM-cyano-5-aminopyrazoles, which are versatile intermediates for the synthesis of many biologically active scaffolds <2006TL5797>. 2-Hydrazinothiazol-4(5//)-one reacted with a variety of cinnamonitrile derivatives and activated acrylonitriles to yield annelated pyrazolopyrano[2,3-rf thiazole <1998JCM730>. 

Kirsch prepared substituted 4-amino-5-cyano-l,3-thiazoles 487 and used them successfully for the synthesis of new substituted [l,3]thiazolo...
