Isothiocyanates aryl, synthesis

The synthesis of 5-aminothiazoles via the reaction of isocyanate derivatives with aminomalononitrile p-toluenesulfonate (AMNT) has been investigated. It was found that AMNT 12 reacted with alkyl and aryl isothiocyanates in l-methyl-2-pyrrolidine (NMP) to furnish 5-amino-2-(alkylamino)-4-cyanothiazoles (13a) and 5-amino-2-(arylamino)-4-cyanothiazoles (13b-c) in 44-81 % yields.

The synthesis of 987 from 985 via 986 has been reported (83S759) by reaction of 985 with aryl isothiocyanates under neutral conditions. The reaction of 4-amino-6-anilino[l,2,4]triazine 988 with methyl iodide and then carbon disulfide gave 989 (90MI3, 90MI9). 

Glutaconaldehyde anion serves as an interesting intermediate for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. The parent pyrylium perchlorate has been prepared from glutaconaldehyde and 70% perchloric acid in ether at -55°.° The reaction of glutaconaldehyde anion with alkyl and aryl isothiocyanates and... 

The reaction of 1-amino-1-deoxyketoses, and their N-alkyl and N-aryl derivatives, with alkyl or aryl isothiocyanates (Huber et al, 1960) was studied in more detail, and new 4-(alditol-l-yl)-l-alkyl(aryl)-3-alkyl(aryl)-l,3-dihydro-2H-imidazole-2-thiones were obtained. These compounds were used as starting materials for the synthesis of OL-histidines, DL-histidine-2-thiol, and other imidazole derivatives of biological interest. 

In analogy to the thiohydantoin synthesis, the PEG-bound diamines have also been treated with various alkyl and aryl isothiocyanates and, after applying traceless cyclative cleavage, the desired thioxotetrahydropyrimidinones were obtained in excellent yields. In contrast to the thiohydantoin synthesis, purification of the products was more complicated if the excess of isothiocyanate amounted to more than 2.2 equivalents [85],... 

Diazo(trimethylsilyl)methyl lithium (3) was found to be the reagent of choice for the synthesis of azoles from heterocumulenes (Scheme 8.43). The reaction is typically carried out in ether at 0-20 °C. Thus, alkyl- (or aryl-)substituted keteni-mines are transformed into 1,2,3-triazoles 188 (246), while C-acceptor-substituted ketenimines yield either 4-aminopyrazoles 189 or 1,2,3-triazoles, depending on the substituents (247). Isocyanates are converted into 5-hydroxy-1,2,3-triazoles 190 (248). Reaction of 3 with isothiocyanates are strongly solvent dependent. 

Ramjeesingh and Kahlenberg38 reported the synthesis of 6-deoxy-6-isothiocyanato-D-glucopyranose (24). They employed the common method of synthesis of aryl isothiocyanates by treatment of amine 22 with carbon disulfide in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC). 

A one-step procedure for the synthesis of 5-arylimino-l,2,4-thiadiazolin-3-ones (273) from a mixture of alkyl azide, substituted phenyl isothiocyanate and aryl or alkyl isocyanate has been reported (76AG(E)489). Evidence was presented to support the proposal that a... 

When jV-protected indole-3-carboxaldehydes were allowed to react with tosylmethyl isocyanide, 3-(oxazol-5-yl)-indoles were obtained in satisfactory yields and applied to the synthesis of novel indole-based IMPDH inhibitors <02BMCL3305>. In the same context, a modified approach to 2-(JV-aryl)oxazoles employing an iminophosphorane/ isothiocyanate-mediated methodology and its application to the synthesis of the potent IMPDH inhibitor BMS-337197, was reported <020L2091>. 

The earliest method of this type was the old Marckwald synthesis (1] in which a suitable a-aminocarbonyl compound is cyclized with cyanate, thiocyanate or isothiocyanatc. More recent modifications have employed the acetals of the a-amino aldehyde or ketone or an a-amino acid ester. The two-carbon fragment can also be provided by cyanamide, a thioxamate, a carbodiimidc or an imidic ester. When cyanates, thiocyanates or isothiocyanates are used, the imidazolin-2-ones or -2-thiones (1) are formed initially, but they can be converted into 2-unsubstituted imidazoles quite readily by oxidative or dehydrogenative means (Scheme 4.1.1). The chief limitations of the method arc the difficulty of making some a-aminocarbonyls and the very limited range of 2 substituents which are possible in the eventual imidazole products. The method is nonetheless valuable and widely used, and typically condenses the hydrochloride of an a-amino aldehyde or ketone (or the acetals or ketals), or an a-amino-)6-ketoester with the salt of a cyanic or thiocyanic acid. Usually the aminocarbonyl hydrochloride is warmed in aqueous solution with one equivalent of sodium or potassium cyanate or thiocyanate. An alkyl or aryl isocyanate or isothiocyanate will give an A-substituted imidazole product (2), as will a substituted aminocarbonyl compound (Scheme 4.1.1) [2-4]. 

The solid phase synthesis of trisubstituted guanidines was achieved in the research group of D.H. Drewery by utilizing the aza-Wittig reaction. The reaction of solid-supported alkyl iminophosphorane and aryl or alkyl Isothiocyanates afforded carbodiimides, which upon treatment with primary or secondary amines provided the trisubstituted guanidines. ... 

Even though the most widely used preparation is still the reaction of alkali isothiocyanates or alkyl and aryl isothiocyanates with a-amino carboxylic acid derivatives, the reaction of dithiocarbamic acid esters (CCX) with a-amino carboxylic acids (CCXI) has certain advantages especially in the synthesis of heterocyclically substituted imidazolidin-4-one-2-thiones (221).
