Gatterman

When unsubstituted, C-5 reacts with electrophilic reagents. Thus phosphorus pentachloride chlorinates the ring (36, 235). A hydroxy group in the 2-position activates the ring towards this reaction. 4-Methylthiazole does not react with bromine in chloroform (201, 236), whereas under the same conditions the 2-hydroxy analog reacts (55. 237-239. 557). Activation of C-5 works also for sulfonation (201. 236), nitration (201. 236. 237), Friede 1-Crafts reactions (201, 236, 237, 240-242), and acylation (243). However, iodination fails (201. 236). and the Gatterman or Reimer-Tieman reactions yield only small amounts of 4-methyl-5-carboxy-A-4-thiazoline-2-one. Recent kinetic investigations show that 2-thiazolones are nitrated via a free base mechanism. A 2-oxo substituent increases the rate of nitration at the 5-position by a factor of 9 log... 

All attempts to prepare selenazole derivatives by the Gatterman (for-mylation) or Friedel-Crafts (alkylation) methods failed (19, 26). indicating that the electrophilic reactivity of the 5-position is less than that of benzene or toluene.

Formylation with Zinc Cyanide and HCI The Gatterman Reaction... 

Formylation with Zn(CN)2 and HCI is called the Gatterman reaction It can be applied to alkylbenzenes, phenols and their ethers, and many heterocyclic compounds. However, it cannot be applied to aromatic amines. In the original version of this reaction, the substrate was treated with HCN, HCI, and ZnCl2, but the use of Zn(CN)2 and HCI (HCN and ZnCF are generated in situ) makes the reaction more... 

Another method, formylation with CO and HCl in the presence of AICI3 and CuCl (the Gatterman-Koch reaction), is limited to benzene and alkylbenzenes. ... 

The decarbonylation of aromatic aldehydes with sulfuric acid" is the reverse of the Gatterman-Koch reaction (11-16). It has been carried out with trialkyl- and trialkoxybenzaldehydes. The reaction takes place by the ordinary arenium ion mechanism the attacking species is H and the leaving group is HCO, which can lose a proton to give CO or combine with OH from the water solvent to give formic acid." Aromatic aldehydes have also been decarbonylated with basic catalysts." When basic catalysts are used, the mechanism is probably similar to the SeI process of 11-38. See also 14-39. 

Treatment of diazonium salts with cuprous chloride or bromide leads to aryl chlorides or bromides, respectively. In either case the reaction is called the Sandmeyer reaction The reaction can also be carried out with copper and HBr or HCl, in which case it is called the Gatterman reaction (not to be confused with 11-16). The Sandmeyer reaction is not useful for the preparation of fluorides or iodides, but for bromides and chlorides it is of wide scope and is probably the best way of introducing bromine or chlorine into an aromatic ring. The yields are usually high. 

Halo derivatives 127 have been obtained in moderate yields from the corresponding amines 126 via the Sandmeyer-Gatterman reaction (Equation 35) <1996CHEC-II(4)307>.

Alternatively, chlorine or bromine can also be introduced in the benzene ring by treating the diazonlum salt solution with corresponding halogen acid in the presence of copper powder. This Is referred as Gatterman reaction. 

A useful method for the synthesis of 5-chloro-l,2,4-thiadiazoles (206) is the reaction of amidines with trichloromethylsulfenyl chloride (see Equation (30)). 3-Halo derivatives (349) (X = Cl, Br, I) (Equation (57)) have been obtained in moderate yields from the corresponding amines (348) via the Sandmeyer-Gatterman reaction <84CHEC-I(6)463>. 3-Chloro-l,2,4-thiadiazolin-5-ones (350) and (351) can be prepared by reacting chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride with carbodiimides or cyanamides respectively (Scheme 79) <84CHEC-I(6)463>.
