Carbamoyl chlorides

The ester 870 is prepared by the cross-coupling of the chloroformate 869 with an organotin reagent. Some chloroformates are easily decomposed by a Pd catalyst, and hence the reaction should be carried out by slow addition of the chloroformates. Similarly, the amide 872 is prepared by the reaction of the carbamoyl chloride 871 [742]. The coupling of alkylcopper with ethyl chloroformate catalyzed by Pd affords esters[743]. 

The nucleophilic reacbvity of the C-5 oxygen is well documented however, no quantitative data are available. A-2-Thiazoline-5-ones (212) react at oxygen with acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride (447. 452). benzoyl chloride (447). methyl or phenyl isocyanate (467). carbamoyl chloride (453, 467). or phosphorus derivatives (468, 428) in the presence of bases to give 213, 214, 215. or 216 (Scheme 109). Strong bases such as... 

Preparation from Amines. The most common method of preparing isocyanates, even on a commercial scale, involves the reaction of phosgene [75-44-5] and aromatic or aUphatic amine precursors. The initial reaction step, the formation of N-substituted carbamoyl chloride (1), is highly exothermic and is succeeded by hydrogen chloride elimination which takes place at elevated temperatures. 

A variation of this method involves the conversion of the amine into the amine hydrochloride prior to treatment with phosgene. This method has the advantage of producing generally cleaner products by retarding the secondary reaction of the free amine with carbamoyl chloride. 

Oligomers of phosgene, such as diphosgene [503-38-8] (COCl2)2, have found use in the laboratory preparation of isocyanates. Carbamoyl chlorides, A[,A/-disubstituted ureas, dimethyl- and diphenylcarbonates, and arylsulfonyl isocyanates have also been used to convert amines into urea intermediates, which are subsequendy pyroly2ed to yield isocyanates. These methods have found appHcations for preparation of low boiling point aUphatic isocyanates (2,9,17). 

Low boiling isocyanates, such as methyl isocyanate [624-83-9] are difficult to prepare via conventional phosgenation due to the fact that the A/-alkyl carbamoyl chlorides are volatile below their decomposition poiat. Interestingly, A/-ethyl carbamoyl chloride decomposes at its boiling poiat whereas the A/-propyl carbamoyl chloride is thermoly2ed cleanly into isocyanate and hydrogen chloride. 

Other unsymmetrical peroxides can be prepared by this reaction by employing other acylating agents, eg, alkyl chloroformates, organosulfonyl chlorides, and carbamoyl chlorides (210). Unsymmetrical and symmetrical di(diacyl peroxides) also are obtained by the reaction of dibasic acid chlorides directiy with peroxycarboxyhc acids or monoacid chlorides directiy with diperoxycarboxyhc acids in the presence of a base (44,187,203). 

Bis(carbamoyl) peroxides of the foUowiag structure were prepared by reaction of the corresponding carbamoyl chlorides and hydrogen peroxide—urea complex in the presence of pyridine (211). 

Phosgene reacts with a multitude of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and carbon centers. Reaction with primary alkyl and aryl amines yield carbamoyl chlorides which are readily dehydrohalogenated to isocyanates. Secondary amines also form carbamoyl chlorides. 

An interesting illustration of a bielectrophile contributing two heteroatoms to the resultant five-membered ring is the 2-alkyl-2-chloro- (or fluoro-) sulfonylcarbamoyl chlorides (212). With methylhydrazine initial attack by the more basic nitrogen occurred on the carbamoyl chloride, and this was followed by base-induced cyclization to 1,2,3,5-thiatriazolidine derivative (213) (77JCR(S)238, 77JCR(M)2813). Other reactions of this type are discussed in Chapter 4.28. 

The carbamoyl chloride formed may then be decomposed more or less simultaneously with the intial phosgene-amine reaction to produce diisocyanate. A urea may be formed as the result of side reactions.

The reaction of the enamines 28 and 113 with N,N-dimethyl carbamoyl chloride has been reported to give no isolable -keto amides 63). 

The enamino ketone (49) was reported to give no identifiable products on reaction with N,N-dimethyl carbamoyl chloride 63). However, reaction of (49) with N,N-diethyl carbamoyl chloride in refluxing chlorobenzene gave the N-(3-diethyl-amino-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1 -ylidene)pyrrolidinium salt, isolated as the perchlorate. The latter must have been formed as outlined in Scheme I, involving initial O carbamoylation followed by an addition-elimination reaction to give 138 cation which can react with diethylamino anion by a further addition-elimination displacement to give the product 46).

The ureas, e.g. 28 (R = NMe2), derived from the corresponding 2-(l-arylviny )benzylamines by reaction with (dimethylamino)carbamoyl chloride (Me2NCOCl) in the presence of triethyl-amine, undergo cyclization in refluxing phosphoryl chloride to the 5-aryl-3-(dimethylamino)-l//-2-benzazepin-3-amines. e.g. 29a.84 Prepared similarly are the 3-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl) compound 29b and the 3-methyl derivative 29c from the corresponding urea and amide, respectively. 

A more highly oxidized derivative of quinazoline forms the heterocyclic moiety of a compound with CNS activity.

The silicon containing (5 5 5) heterocycle 32 has been efficiently synthesized starting from. Y-prolinc 375 via silanes 376, 378, and 379. The final step has been achieved via radical cyclization. The amine 377 was treated with COCl2 and the resulting carbamoyl chloride 378 reacted with PhSeNa to give the radical precursor 379 (84% overall yield from 376). Compound 379 when refluxed with Ph3SnH or Bu3SnH in the presence of AIBN afforded the desired heterocycle 32 in 75% yield (Scheme 81).
