Isocyanates 2-imino

Treatment of 2-imino-3-phenyl-4-amino-(5-amido)-4-thiazoline with isocyanates or isothiocyanates yields the expected product (139) resulting from attack of the exocyclic nitrogen on the electrophilic center (276). Since 139 may be acetylated to thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-7-ones or 7-thiones (140). this reaction provides a route to condensed he erocycles (Scheme 92). 

Reaction of 2-imino-3-alkyl-4-thiazolines with alkyl isocyanates gives the ureas (382), which when nitrated on C-5 give the schistosomicide class of compounds (383) (Scheme 219), When nitration takes place on the ring... 

Chlorosulfonyl isocyanate is an excellent alternative to alkaline cyanates ia the preparation of hydantoias from stericaHy hindered or labile amino nitriles (62). Imino derivatives similar to (18) can also be obtained by addition of sonitnles to imines followed by treatment with a cyanate (63). 

The addition of isocyanides and azide to aldehyde-derived enamines has led to tetrazoles (533,536). On the other hand the vinylogous amide of acetoacetic ester and related compounds reacted with aldehydes, isocyanides and acids to give a-acylaminoamides (534). Iminopyrrolidones and imino-thiopyrrolidones were obtained from the addition of cyclohexylisocyanide and isocyanates or isothiocyanates to enamines (535). An interesting method for the formation of organophosphorus compounds is found in the reactions of imonium salts with dialkylphosphites (536). 

Reaction of 4-cyano-3-imino-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-l//-pyrido[l,2-c]pyr-imidin-l-one 169 with 2-chloroethyl isocyanate at ambient temperature and under reflux gave N-acylated 170 and tetracyclic derivative 171, respectively (95MI1). Similar reaction of 3-amino-4-cyano-2,4a5,6,7,8-hexahydro-l// pyrido[l,2-c]pyrimidin-1-ones 172 afforded tricyclic compounds 173. 

The bis(imino-l5-phosphane) 1 reacts with a molar equivalent of an isocyanate in toluene at 20 C for 16 hours to give pyrazolo[3,4-<7]-l,3-diazepines 2. No further details were reported.167"b... 

The tricyclic 1,3-diazepines 3 are formed by the action of two molar equivalents of aromatic isocyanates on the bis(imino-A5-phosphane) 1 in toluene at 20 C for 16 hours in a tandem aza-Wittig [2 t 2]-cycloaddition reaction . No further details were reported.167... 

Reaction of 2-cyanomethylpyridine with iV-(l-aryl-l-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-iV -(4-methylphenyl)carbodiimides, and with (1,1,2,2,2-pentachloro- and l,l-dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)isocyanates or A-methoxycarbonyl-l,2,2,2-tetrachloro-, — l-chloro-2,2-trifluoroacetaldehyde imines afforded 3-aryl-4-cyano-l-(4-methylphenyl)imino-3-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-17/-pyrido[l,2-f]pyrimidines and 4-cyano-3-trichloro-, 4-cyano-3-trifluoro-17/-pyrido[l,2-4pyrimidin-l-ones, respectively <2004CHE47>. Refluxing 2-cyanomethylpyridine and iV-(l-aryl-l-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)isocyanates in benzene furnished l-aryl-4-cyano-l-trifluoromethyl-l,2-dihydro-3//-pyrido[l,2-4pyrimidin-3-ones. However, when the solution of the isocyanate was added dropwise to the solution of 2-cyanomethylpyridine, and the reaction mixture was then treated with NEt at room temperature, the isomeric 3-aryl-4-cyano-3-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-l//-pyr-ido[l,2-dpyrimidin-l-ones were obtained. Reaction of l-(acetyl- and benzoylmethylene)-6,7-dimethoxy-l,2,3,4-tetra-hydroisoquinolines with PhCONCS yielded 1-acetyl-, 1 -benzoyl-9,10-dime thoxy-3-pheny 1-6,7-dihydro-2//-pyrimido[6,l- ]isoquinoline-2-thiones <2003SL2369>. 

A similar transformation involving isocyanates instead of enamines has been reported. The imino thiadiazolidine 36 when reacted with methyl isocyanate affords a mixture of two compounds the bicyclic derivative 37 and the thiourea derivative 38 (Equation 10) <1997IJB399>. 

A recent review on four-membered heterocycles formed from imino-phosphoranes concentrates on the preparation and the reactivity of 2,4-diimino-l,3-diazetidine and related compounds (93JPR305). As an example, the synthesis via bisiminophosphorane 85 is described in Scheme 42. The bisiminophosphorane has both a heteroaryl and a styryl site. From a mechanistic view, the reaction of the bisiminophosphorane proceeds with aryl isocyanate formation via an aza-Wittig mechanism. Intermediate car-bodiimide formation (86) occurs directly on the iminophosphorane moiety... 

The thermolysis of 4-benzyl-5-sulfonyliminothiatriazolines (318) in the presence of a variety of nitriles yields 5-imino-l,2,4-thiadiazolines (320). These reactions have been interpreted as proceeding via a thiaziridinimine intermediate (319) (Scheme 70) <76JOC3403>. 1,2,4-Thiadiazoles are also obtained when the thermolysis is carried out in the presence of isocyanates to give (321) and carbodiimides to give (322) <84CHEC-I(6)463>. 

The imino dioxazolidine derivatives (45) are thermally isomerized to oxadiazolinone (64) and also decomposed, probably via a retro-1,3-dipolar cycloaddition mode (Scheme 3) <75JOC3112), to phenyl isocyanate and the transient 1,3-dipole (64a), which in turn rearranges to the diaziridinone (65). 

Cyclocarbonylation of o-iodophenols 503 with isocyanates or carbodiimides and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalytic amount of a palladium catalyst (tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(O) Pd2(DBA)3) and l,4-bis(di-phenylphosphino)butane (dppb) resulted in formation of l,3-benzoxazine-2,4-diones 504 or 2-imino-l,3-benzoxazin-4-ones 505 (Scheme 94). The product yields were dependent on the nature of the substrate, the catalyst, the solvent, the base, and the phosphine ligand. The reactions of o-iodophenols with unsymmetrical carbodiimides bearing an alkyl and an aryl substituent afforded 2-alkylimino-3-aryl-l,3-benzoxazin-4-ones 505 in a completely regioselective manner <1999JOC9194>. On the palladium-catalyzed cyclocarbonylation of o-iodoanilines with acyl chlorides and carbon monoxide, 2-substituted-4f/-3,l-benzoxazin-4-ones were obtained <19990L1619>. 

The addition of cis-azobenzenes to ketenimines gives 3-imino-l,2-diazetidines which cleave to give carbodiimides and imines upon thermolysis (Scheme 4) (67JHC155, 72JHC555, 74JHC409). l,2-Diphenyl-l,2-diazetidin-3-one has similarly been reported to fragment to isocyanate and imine (56AG71). 

Carbonyl-substituted isocyanates have been reported to add [2 + 2] to carbodiimides, although in one case the reported 4-imino-l,3-diazetidin-2-one (64AP623) was reassigned an oxadiazine structure (72BCJ1534). It is clear that the initially formed [2 + 2] kinetically favored adducts are thermally unstable and ultimately form more stable [4 + 2] products, oxadiazines (Scheme 13) (79BSF(2)499).
