Of thiazolyl thiourea

The reaction of 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole with (3-chloroethyl isocyanate gives the corresponding thiazolyl urea (137) (Scheme 90) (298). Other examples are given in Section V.l.B, where the preparation of thiazolyl-thioureas is discussed,... 

The infrared spectra of a set of 2-thiazolylthioureas are reported in Ref. 486. The ultraviolet spectra of l-aryl-3-(2-thiazolyl)thioureas are characterized by two bands of approximate equal intensity around 282 and 332 nm (492). For l-alkyl-3-(2-thiazolyl)thioureas these bands are shifted to 255 and 291 nm, respectively (492). The shape of the spectrum is modified further when l.l -dialkyl-3-(2-thiazolyl)thioureas are considered (491). Fragmentation patterns of various 2-thiazolylthioureas have been investigated (100, 493), some of which are shown in Scheme 158. Paper and thin-layer chromatography provide an effective tool for the analysis of these heterocyclic thioureas (494. 495). 

The sulfur atom of the thiocarbonyl group is a good nucleophile, and reaction between benzyl bromide and l-(2-thiazolyl)thiourea yields the isothiouronium salt (496). The sulfur atom may also be engaged in a chelate, as exemplified by the Cu chelate of 2-thioureido-4-methylthiazole (491). These chelates with metal ions were thoroughly studied in acidic, neutral, and alkaline media for 66 metal ions in order to define their analytical use. They are formed in the molar ratio of 1 2 for metal II compounds (498). 

An interesting rearrangement of the (4-methyl-2-thiazolyl)thioureas (263) has recently been reported (Scheme 160) (303). The reaction mechanism is currently under investigation. This reaction does not occur if the 4-methyl substituent in the thiazole ring of 263 is replaced by an hydrogen, which suggests an electrophilic attack on C-5 as the mechanism of this reaction. 

The preparation and spectroscopic properties (infrared, ultraviolet, NMR) of iV-alkoxycarbonyl-N -(2-thiazolyl)thioureas (268) have been studied by the Nagano group (78, 264). These compounds react with bromine in acetic acid or chloroform to give 2--alkoxycarbonylimino-thiazolo[3,2-h]thiadiazolines (Scheme 162), whose structures were established by mass spectroscopy, infrared, NMR, and reactivity patterns (481). 

Beyond pharmaceutical screening activity developed on aminothiazoles derivatives, some studies at the molecular level were performed. Thus 2-aminothiazole was shown to inhibit thiamine biosynthesis (941). Nrridazole (419) affects iron metabohsm (850). The dehydrase for 5-aminolevulinic acid of mouse liver is inhibited by 2-amino-4-(iS-hydroxy-ethyl)thiazole (420) (942) (Scheme 239). l-Phenyl-3-(2-thiazolyl)thiourea (421) is a dopamine fS-hydroxylase inhibitor (943). Compound 422 inhibits the enzyme activity of 3, 5 -nucleotide phosphodiesterase (944). The oxalate salt of 423, an analog of levamisole 424 (945) (Scheme 240),... 

N-(2-thiazolyl)dithiocarbamates are prepared by the action of carbon disulfide on 2-aminothiazoles (see Section III.3.C and Ref. 505). When refluxed with secondary amines these heterocyclic dithiocarbamates yield l,T-dialkyl-3-(2-thiazolyl)thioureas (261) (491). 

Some diarylthioureas have been treated with chlorosulfonic acid thus N-phenyl-A -(2-pyridyl)- and iV-phenyl-A -(2-thiazolyl) thioureas 394 and 395 afforded the corresponding 4 -sulfonyl chlorides. . /V-Phenyl-A -(2-pyridyl)-thiourea 394, unlike the analogous urea 391, did not yield the 2, 4 -disulfonyl chloride and only gave the 4 -sulfonyl chloride. The larger steric size of the sulfur as compared with the oxygen atom presumably caused too much steric hindrance at the ortho-position of the phenyl ring to permit disulfonation. ... 

The interaction of 2-aminothiazole and ethoxy carbonyl isothiocyanate in ethyl acetate gives no less than four products, separable by chromatography. The N-ethoxycarbonyl-N -(2-thiazolyl)thioureas (149), which predominate amongst them (ca. 40—50%), appear not to undergo further cyclization spontaneously to the bicyclic products (150) except in one case (when R = Ph), but this ring closure does occur at 180 C. In each case, thiazolo[3,2-a]-sym-triazine-4-thione-2-one (148) was isolated in 20—40% yield, while (151) and (152) arose as minor products. ... 

Other sulfur compounds such as thiourea, ammonium dithiocarbamate, or hydrogen sulfide also lead to 2-mercaptothiazoles. Thus thiourea has been used in the syntheses of 4,5-dimethyl (369) and 4-aryl-2-mercapto-thiazoles (Table 11-30) (519). The reactions were carried out by condensing the ia -thiocyanatoketones with thiourea in alcohol and water acidified with hydrochloric acid. By this procedure, 4-aryl-2-mercaptothiazoles were obtained in yields of 40 to 80% with bis-(4-aryl-2-thiazolyl) sulfides as by-products (519). These latter products (194) have also been observed as a result of the action of thiourea on 2-chloro-4-arylthiazole under the same experimental conditions. They can be separated from 2-mercaptothiazoles because of their different degrees of solubility in sodium hydroxide solution at 5%. In this medium bis-(4-phenyl-2-thiazolyl)sulfide is... 

Another approach to 2-aminothiazole derivatives was recently developed by Zbiral and Hengstberger (667, 700) thus the condensation of )3-acylvinylphosphonium salts (248) with thiourea affords the thiazolyl-methylphosphonium salt (249) via an acyclic intermediate analogous to the Hantzsch s synthesis. Final alkaline hydrolysis of 249 furnishes the 2-aminothiazoles (250) (Scheme 127) (700). 

A-Thiazolyl a-amino acids 56 have been prepared. The preferred route to these compounds would utilise the Hantzsch synthesis, however in this case the in situ formation of the required thiourea derivatives of a-aminoacids 52 failed. A variety of isothiocyanate reagents were tried, with the result being either no reaction, decomposition or the corresponding thiohydantoin 53. A modified version of the Hantzsch synthesis was developed. If the bromoketone 54 is initially treated with sodium thiocyanate an a-thiocyanatoketone 55 is formed, subsequent addition of the amino acid ester 51 yields A-thiazolyl a-amino acids 56 <00T3161>. 

By interaction of 7-amino-8-oxo-3-vinyl-5-thia-l-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid 4-methoxyphenyl ester with 4-bromoacetyl bromide was prepared 7-(4-bromo-3-oxo-butyrylamino)-8-oxo-3-vinyl-5-thia-l-azabicyclo (4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid 4-methoxyphenyl ester. The active methylene group in that product was then nitrosated with sodium nitrite. The initial product spontaneously tautomerizes to afford 7-(4-bromo-2-hydroxyimino-3-oxo-butyrylamino)-8-oxo-3-vinyl-5-thia-l-azabicyclo(4.2.0) oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid 4-methoxyphenyl ester. By the reaction of that compound with thiourea and then with trifluoroacetic acid was obtained (6R,7R)-7-(2-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)glyoxylamido)-8-oxo-3-vinyl-5-thia-l-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid sodium nitrite, (Z)-oxime (Cefdinir sodium nitrile). 

The 111.6 kg resultant precipitates of N"-[4-(chloromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2-thiazolyl]-guanidine hydrochloride are collected, and washed with 50 L of acetone. In 500 ml of water are dissolved 111.6 kg of N"-[4-(chloromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2-thiazolyl]-guanidine hydrochloride and 32.9 kg of thiourea. The solution is stirred for one hour at 50°C. N -[4-[[(Aminoiminomethyl)thio]methyl]-2-thiazolyl]-guanidine dihydrochloride is formed in the reaction mixture, and this reaction mixture containing this compound is directly used for the next process without isolation of the formed compound.
