2.6- Diamino-4-phenyl-3,5-pyridine reactions

Reaction of 4-chloro-6-fluoropyrido[3,4- pyrimidine 59 with [3-methyl-4-(pyridin-3-yloxy)phenyl]amine 60, followed by coupling the formed amine 61 with (3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-6-yl)carbamic acid fi r7-butyl ester, afforded the substituted derivative 62 <2002EPP1249451>. Compound 59 was also reacted with 3-bromoaniline to give the 4-anilino derivative 63 that upon treatment with either methyl- or dimethylamine gave the corresponding 4,6-diamino derivatives 64 (Scheme 2) <1997W09726259, 1995W09519774>. 

Tschitschibabin reaction,290 thus counteracting the example based on 3-hydroxypyridine. The second reaction to be discussed is that of 2-picoline with sodamide at a relatively high temperature, when 3,6-diamino-2-picoline (126) is one of the products isolated.293 If this is so, this represents another example of the type of orientation recently observed in the phenylation of pyridine with phenylcalcium iodide which gave some 2,5-diphenylpyridine.264 Alternatively, a 3,4-pyridyne intermediate (125) might perhaps actually be involved here. The evolution of hydrogen is not mentioned in this case. The decarboxylation of pyridine carboxylic acids under strongly basic conditions is unexceptional. 

Reactions of 1,2,4-thiadiazoles with radicals and electron deficient species are virtually unknown. Catalytic and dissolving metal reductions usually result in S—N bond cleavage. For example, the 5-anilino-3-hydroxy derivative (51) gives a good yield of l-phenyl-2-thiobiuret (52) on Zn-HCl reduction (Scheme 27). Reduction of the diamino derivative (53) gives amidinothiourea (54) from which it may be prepared by oxidation (Scheme 28). Under similar conditions, cleavage of the 3,5-diphenyl derivative (55) results in loss of sulfur and formation of benzylbenzamidine (56 Scheme 29). Reduction of 5-alkylamino-or 5-arylamino-3-alkylthio derivatives (57) with H2S in pyridine-triethylamine or sodium in liquid ammonia yields 1-substituted dithiobiurets (58 Scheme 30).
