Malonodiamides Knoevenagel reaction

Malonomonoamides can be condensed with aldehydes to give acrylamides or cinnanamides, but condensation with malonodiamides is of only minor impjortance. In contrast to Meldrum s acid (58), Knoevenagel reactions of barbituric acid (56) and A A -dimethylbarbituric acid have been less explored. However, several aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes are known to react easily and with high yields in most cases. Reactions of 1,2-dimethyl-3,5-pyrazolidinedione (93) with several aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes using standard conditions yield Knoevenagel products in good yield. A similar reactivity is observed with 2-phenyl-3,5-dioxoisoxazolidine (94) and oxazepanediones (45 see Section 1.11.2.5). Recently, the oxidations of alcohols to carbonyl compxiunds and thiols to disulfides with 5-arylidene-l,3-dimethylbarbituric acids (95) have been described Mechanistically (95) mimics enzymic oxidation by flavin adenine dinucletide (FAD). ... 

The second target, 4-oxo-4H-l-benzopyran-3-carboxylic acids (3) were obtained by Jones oxidation of or hydrolysis of the 3-carbonitrile derivatives ( ) described below (14). The third target, 3-(4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3)acrylic acids (4) were synthesized generally by the Knoevenagel reaction of 3-carboxaldehydes (2) with malonic acid ( 1 ). In the meantime, it was found that the 3-carboxaldehydes ( ), which were able to function as P-dialdehyde compounds, were attacked by amide groups in some cases, to give 2(IH)-pyridone derivatives after condensation with malonic acid derivatives. Thus, condensation of 2 with malonodiamide in pyridine gave initially acrylamide derivatives which were converted into 3-carbamoyl-5-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-2(IH)-pyridones ( ) (24) ...
