Some heterocyclic compounds are at the same time cyclic examples of common functional groups. In such cases, they may be so named, and radicals derived from them may be derived accordingly, as in (164). 

The successful application of heterocyclic compounds in these and many other ways, and their appeal as materials in applied chemistry and in more fundamental and theoretical studies, stems from their very complexity this ensures a virtually limitless series of structurally novel compounds with a wide range of physical, chemical and biological properties, spanning a broad spectrum of reactivity and stability. Another consequence of their varied chemical reactivity, including the possible destruction of the heterocyclic ring, is their increasing use in the synthesis of specifically functionalized non-heterocyclic structures. 

These thiazoles are of specific interest in that they display exceptional pharmacological properties. Additionally, the unsaturated 2-aminonitrile functionality of the above thiazoles is recognized for its versatile functionality and therefore for its ensuing significance in the synthesis of heterocycles. The synthetic utility of thiazoles 13a-f is illustrated by the reactions of the unsaturated 2-aminonitrile functionality in compounds 13b and 13c with formamidine acetate, resulting in the thiazolopyrimidines 14a and 14c respectively. The synthesis of this relatively rare family of heterocycles provides a route into structurally similar bioactive compounds. ... 

Preparation of thiadiazoles via the Hurd-Mori cyclization has led to the synthesis of a variety of biologically active and functionally useful compounds. Discussion of reactions prior to 1998 on the preparation of thiadiazoles have been compiled in a review by Stanetty et al Recent syntheses of thiadiazoles as intermediates for useful transformations to other heterocycles have appeared. For example, the thiadiazole intermediate 36 was prepared from the hydrazone 35 and converted to benzofuran upon treatment with base. Similarly, the thiadiazole acid chloride 38 was converted to the hydrazine 39 which, upon base treatment, provided the pyrazolone, which can be sequentially alkylated in situ to provide the product 40. ... 

In arriving at a picture of the influence of various substituents in aromatic heterocyclic compounds on quatemization, it is very difficult to separate the functions of electronic and steric effects. 

Synthetically, vicinal functionally substituted aryl- and hetarylacetylenes are promising intermediates for preparing different condensed heterocyclic compounds, taking into account the fact that these polyfunctional groups can be selectively involved in cyclization processes. 

The narrow therapeutic range of digitalis related cardiotonic agents has resulted in an extensive effort to identify compounds in other structural classes which will improve cardiac function. The discovery of the heterocyclic cardiotonic drug, amrinone, led to research on other heterocyclic compounds for that indication. The imidazopyridine, isomazole (57), is representa-... 

The conclusion that the nitration of quinoline in sulphuric acid takes place via the conjugate acid has been confirmed by Moodie et al.50, who measured the rates of nitration of a wide range of heterocyclic compounds in nitric acid-sulphuric acid mixtures at a range of temperatures. A summary of the second-order rate coefficients and Arrhenius parameters is given in Table 4. From an analysis of the shapes of the plots of log k2 versus sulphuric acid acidity (or some function of this), it was concluded that all of the compounds starred in Table 4... 

The synthesis of heterocyclic compounds using transition metals and using heterocyclic compounds as intermediates in the synthesis of other organic compounds will bean additional feature of each volume. Pathways involving the destruction of heterocyclic rings will also be dealt with so that the synthesis of specifically functionalized non-heterocyclic molecules can be designed. Each volume in this series will provide an overall picture of heterocyclic compounds... 

Comprehensive Organic Chemistry , Pergamon, Elmsford, NY, 1979, is a six-volume treatise on the synthesis and reactions of organic compounds. The first three volumes cover the various functional groups, vol. 4, heterocyclic compounds, and vol. 5, biological compounds such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Probably the most useful volume is vol. 6, which contains formula, subject, and author indexes, as well as indexes of reactions and... 

A fused heterocyclic compound (146) distantly related to the antiinflammatory agent cintazone (Chapter 12), which itself can be viewed as a cyclized derivative of phenylbutazone, retains the activity of the prototype, in the synthesis of 146, reaction of the nitroaniline 139 with phosgene gives intermediate 140, which is then reacted with ammonia to afford the substituted urea (141). Cyclization of the ortho nitrourea function by means of sodium hydroxide leads to the N-oxide (142) this last reaction represents... 

Diels-Alder reactions are one of the most fundamental and useful reactions in synthetic organic chemistry. Various dienes and dienophiles have been employed for this useful reaction.1 Nitroalkenes take part in a host of Diels-Alder reactions in various ways, as outlined in Scheme 8.1. Various substituted nitroalkenes and dienes have been employed for this reaction without any substantial improvement in the original discovery of Alder and coworkers.2 Nitrodienes can also serve as 4ti-components for reverse electron demand in Diels-Alder reactions. Because the nitro group is converted into various functional groups, as discussed in Chapters 6 and 7, the Diels-Alder reaction of nitroalkenes has been frequently used in synthesis of complex natural products. Recently, Denmark and coworkers have developed [4+2] cycloaddition using nitroalkenes as heterodienes it provides an excellent method for the preparation of heterocyclic compounds, including pyrrolizidine alkaloids. This is discussed in Section 8.3. 

Chemical properties and structure of heterocycles containing P—C—O and P—C—N fragments are determined by the interaction between the heteroatoms. This interaction is most clearly pronounced in heterocyclic compounds also possessing an acceptor functional group (B(III), O—B(III), N—B(III), etc.). 

There are two distinct classes of compounds that fit the criteria mentioned above alkene-functionalized chalcone derivatives (Fig. IB) and enone-functionalized chalcone derivatives (Fig. 1C). Within each class, both aromatic and non-aromatic compounds exist. Those compounds functionalized at the alkene include i) 3-membered heterocycles, e.g., epoxide and aziri-dine compounds, ii) 5-membered aromatic derivatives including fused and non-fused compounds, and iii) 6-membered aromatic pyrazine compounds. The enone-functionalized compounds include i) 5-membered aromatics such as pyrazole and isoxazole compounds, ii) 5-membered non-aromatic compounds for example pyrazolines and isoxazolines, and iii) 6-membered non-aromatics where a discussion of heterocyclic and non-heterocyclic compounds will be given for completeness. 

Inspired by the well-established nickel-catalyzed co-oligomerization of 1,3-dienes with CO2, which proceeds via bis-TT-allyl intermediate, Mori has developed a powerful intramolecular version of this process (Scheme 103). After insertion of C02 into the bis-vr-allyl complex, a transmetallation with an organozinc reagent takes place to generate the Ni(0) catalyst. Highly functionalized carbo- and heterocyclic compounds with complete stereocontrol can372 be synthesized by this method.
