N-Heterocyclic derivatives

A recent paper from Katritsky summarises all the preparations of achiral dissymmetrical thioureas and proposes a new one, based on l-(alkyl/arylthio-carbamoyl)benzotriazoles, which act as masked isothiocyanates. As described in the previous section, other N-heterocyclic derivatives can be used instead... 

N-Heterocycles derived from hydrazinoacetic acids 90PHA1. N-Heterocyclic drugs, action on central serotonin receptors 87JMC1. Imidazo[2,l-b]thiazole derivatives 89KFZ206, 89KFZ801. 

Nitriles react with phosgene only in the presence of hydrogen chloride, to give either 1,2-unsaturated isocyanates or N-heterocyclic derivatives. The reactions are really those between COClj and the imidoyl chlorides or 1-chloroenamines, since these are the materials formed, reversibly, as equilibrium mixtures when hydrogen chloride adds to nitriles [2229] ...

Studies on covalent hydration of N-heterocycles (67AG(E)919,76AHC(20)117) have revealed the diagnostic value of alkyl substituents in structural assignments due to their steric hindrance effects in addition reactions. C-Methyl substituents are therefore also considered as molecular probes to solve fine-structural problems in the pteridine field. The derivatives...

Dihydropyridines not only are intermediates for the synthesis of pyridines, but also are themselves an important class of N-heterocycles an example is the coenzyme NADH. Studies on the function of NADH led to increased interest in the synthesis of dihydropyridines as model compounds. Aryl-substituted dihy-dropyridines have been shown to be physiologically active as calcium antagonists. Some derivatives have found application in the therapy of high blood pressure and angina pectoris. For that reason the synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines has been the subject of intensive research and industrial use. The Hantzsch synthesis has thus become an important reaction. 

N-Glycosyl derivatives are conveniently named as glycosylamines. In the case of complex heterocyclic amines, such as nucleosides, the same approach is used. 

Moncrief summarized the work of Cohn and the information in the early literature. As early as 1923, it was known that rupture of the heterocyclic ring, as well as substitution of the imino hydrogen atom, results in the loss of sweetness. Thus, o-carboxybenzenesulfonamide and N-alkyl derivatives of saccharin are tasteless. This loss of sweetness would be expected, as the NH group is the only proton-donor function available in the molecule. 

Nitroaniline reacts almost explosively [1], and 4-nitroaniline, 4-nitroacetanilide, aminonitrobiphenyls, aminonitronaphthalenes and their various derivatives [2], as well as some nitro-N-heterocycles [1,2], also react vigorously. 4-Nitroanilinium sulfate and 4-nitroaniline-2-sulfonic acid and its salts also generate foams when heated without sulfuric acid. The mechanism is not clear, but involves generation of a polymeric matrix foamed by sulfur dioxide and water eliminated during the reaction [1]... 

In the early days of meteorite analysis, it was difficult to detect N-heterocycles later, the Murchison meteorite was shown to contain xanthine, hypoxanthine, guanine, adenine and uracil (about 1.3 ppm in total). This meteorite seems to contain various classes of basic and neutral N-heterocycles, as well as isomeric alkyl derivatives. 

The insertion of allenes in the Pd-C bond of cyclopalladated 3-arylisoquinoline derivatives 327 afforded compounds 328, derived from the berberinium cation (Scheme 71). This reaction takes place via the formation of an intermediate (r/ -allyOpalladium complex <2003JOM313>. This chemistry has been extended to the preparation of other cationic N-heterocycles, including naphtho[r+/ ]( uinolizinium derivatives <2004EJ01724>. 

Table 14 shows a compilation of the N-heterocyclic compounds present in oil-derived fuels. The boiling point values and their MW have been included to indicate the fraction in which they will most likely be present. 

Addition of acyl anions generated from acylsilanes to a,(3-unsaturated ketones using N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) derived from thiazolium salts as catalyst produced 1,4-diketones, which cyclized to form the corresponding furans in good yields under an acidic condition <06JOC5715>. 

N-heterocycles are a class of neutral ligands with strong coordination affinity to many metal ions. Since a number of neutral N-donors ligands are available, a wide range of oxo-centered triruthenium complexes with various N-heterocyclic ligands have been prepared through axial ligand substitution. By judicious selection of the N-heterocyclic type and modification of the substituents with different electronic and steric effects, the electronic, redox, and spectroscopic properties in these oxo-centered triruthenium derivatives are controllable. 

Recent work in the chemistry of phosphorus heterocycles derived from a-hydroxyalkylphosphines and vinylphosphines, much of which has appeared in the Russian language literature, is covered by B. A. Arbuzov and G. N. Nikonov (Kazan, Russia).
