4- Aminothiazoles with isocyanates

Reaction of 2-aminothiazoles with alkyl isocyanates yields 2-thiazolylureas (256) (Scheme 153) (479-483). This reaction is general and works with acyl isocyanates (484. 485). These heterocyclic ureas are also prepared by the reaction of H2O on 2-thia2olylcyanamide (486) or by action of HjOj on the corresponding thiourea (303, 481). 

The acylation with acid chloride and the urea formation with isocyanate of intermediate resin 16 afforded other substituent groups onto 4-aminothiazole. Under microwave (MW) irradiation reaction with isocyanate and acylation reaction with acid chloride, R -substituted thiazole resin 19 was obtained. Following conversion of sulfonyl resin 19 to sulfonyl resin 20 (mCPBA/CH2Cl2), substitution reactions promoted by treatment with appropriate amines (R R" N diversity elements) furnished the 2,4,5-trisubstituted thiazoles 2 (29 examples 36-25% isolated yields from Merrifield resin 1, >95% purities, Table 10.1). 

Formamidinoyl isothiocyanates (157) combine with 2-aminothiazoles the ring nitrogen attacks the spC part of the electrophilic reagent (312) further reaction then yields aza-condensed thiazolo-s-triazines (158) (Scheme 99) (313). Mesoionic S-alkvlthiazolo[3.2-fl]-i-tria2ine-5,7-diones (159) are obtained when 2-alkylaminothiazoles react with phenoxycar-bonyl isocyanate (304). 

The synthesis of 5-aminothiazoles via the reaction of isocyanate derivatives with aminomalononitrile p-toluenesulfonate (AMNT) has been investigated. It was found that AMNT 12 reacted with alkyl and aryl isothiocyanates in l-methyl-2-pyrrolidine (NMP) to furnish 5-amino-2-(alkylamino)-4-cyanothiazoles (13a) and 5-amino-2-(arylamino)-4-cyanothiazoles (13b-c) in 44-81 % yields.

It is well known that halomethyleneiminium salts, often prepared in situ (see Section 2.1.2.2) react with ammonium salts, primary amines, secondary amides, urea and IV-substituted ureas to afrbrd amidinium salts, from which the free amidines can be obtained by addition of bases. > 4 Some recent results are given below. Dimethylformamide chloride and other 7V,iV-disubstituted formamide chlorides were reacted with acetanilides, chloroacetanilides, 6-aminopenam derivatives, 2-aminopyrimidine, 4-aminouracil, 2-amino-4-chloropyridazine, 2-aminothiazole, 2-aminobenzothiazole and thiobenzamides to give the amidines via the amidinium salts. In the reaction of MA -disubstituted formamide chlorides with thiobenzamides the solvent seems to be decisive for the course of the reaction. In tertiary formamides the thiobenzamides are desulfurized to nitriles, whereas in CHCI3 or CCI4 amidinium salts (296 Scheme 45) are formed. From trimethylsilyl isocyanate and the fluorinated amine (297) the /V-fluorocarbonylamidine (298) is accessible. ... 

Chloro- and fluorosulfonylcarbamoyl chlorides were found to react with aminotriazole (42) to give [l,2,4]triazolo[5,l-c][l,2,4,6]thiatriazine-l,1-dioxide (43) <77JCR(S)238>. A thiazole-fused thia-triazine-dioxide (45) was prepared from the aminothiazole derivative (44) by chloro-sulfonylisocyanate. The observed regioselectivity in this reaction was interpreted by the preference for nucleophilic addition at the more electrophilic isocyanate which was followed by the cyclization at the sulfonyl chloride <87JMC2058>. 

The interaction of enamines with sulphur in conjunction with carbon disulphide, isocyanates, or isothiocyanates results in the production of sulphur-containing heterocyclics. Cyanamide has now been shown to participate in this reaction. Treatment of enamines of type (24) with sulphur and cyanamide at room temperature in ethanol produces a range of 2-aminothiazoles (27) in 30—70% yield no catalyst is required. Initial formation of the thiolated intermediate (25) is probably followed by addition of cyanamide, yielding (26) elimination of amine finally produces the observed thiazoles (27). Since AW-dialkylcyanamides do not undergo this reaction, cyanamide may react as the tautomeric carbodi-imide. An actual example of the reaction employing the enamine derived from cyclohexanone and morpholine is also shown [(28) - (29)]. ... 

The authors initially investigated the synthesis of resin-bound 4-aminothiazole-5-esters, which were generated in two convenient steps starting fi om Merrifield resin (Scheme 8.3) by the reaction with dipotassium cyanodithioimidocarbonate followed by a condensation reaction with ethyl bromoacetate in DMF at 80°C using TEA as the base. The urea formation with a large number of isocyanates was then explored under microwave irradiation using /Pr2EtN in DMSO at 150°C. After the NaH-mediated cyclization and...
