Thiophenes, 2-amino-, reaction with

The oximes of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[6]thiophen-4-one and -7-one undergo the Beckmann rearrangement to give 146 354 451 and 147 (R = H),362 respectively. Compound 147 (R=C1) may be prepared similarly and by treating 2-chloro-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[ ]thio-phen-7-one with ammonia in the presence of PPA.356 The oxime of 4,5,6,7 -tetrahydrobenzo [6]thiophene- 4-one affords 4-aminobenzo [6]-thiophene in a modified Leuckart reaction.241,355 The same oxime may be converted into 4-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[ ]thiophene by reduction with aluminum amalgam in methanol.452 The parent ketone also affords 4-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[6]thiophene on reaction with formamide at 165°, followed by acidic hydrolysis of the resulting 4-formylamino compound.355... 

The demethyl derivative of (466 n = 1) has been transformed into aromatic thienopyrimidine and derivatives. From 3-amino-2-ethoxycarbonylbenzo-[b]thiophen through reaction with formamide, (472) was obtained, which... 

Raney nickel desulfurization has been applied especially to the synthesis of different kinds of amino acids. a-Amino acids have been prepared by the Strecker synthesis of substituted thiophenealdehydes, followed by desulfurization of the thiophene a-amino acids. a-Amino-n-enantic acid, a-amino-n-caprylic acid, and norleucin have been obtained in about 50% yield from the appropriate thiophene aldehydes. From the desulfurization of thiophene -amino acids, obtained from the reaction of thiophenealdehydes with malonic acid in ammonia, aliphatic j8-amino acids, isolated as acetates, have been obtained in high yields. The desulfurization of 3-nitrothiophenes, such as (232), in ammonia leads to y-substituted amino acids (233). ... 

Addition of amines to a,/J-unsaturated sulfones has been used in synthesis of key intermediates of biotin. In this reaction, benzylamine serves first as a base in the reaction with 60 to afford thiophene 1,1-dioxide (61) and also as a nucleophile to introduce two amino groups (equation 57)49. 

Substituted derivatives of l-(tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl-3-carboxylate)-5-phenyl-6-thio-l,2,4-triazin-4-one have been synthesized by heterocyclization reactions of different hydrazones obtained from 2-amino-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylate with phenyl isothiocyanate <00PS275>. Reaction of 5-methyl isothiosemicarbazide with a-amino acid vicinal tricarbonyl reactive substrates 1 and 2 yields 1,2,4-triazine substituted a-amino acids, as an equimolar mixture of regioisomers 3a/3b and 4a /4b, respectively <00JCS(P1)299>. 

The 5-(aminomethyl)thiophene-2-acetic acid isomer 76 was prepared by chloromethylation in position 2 of thiophene followed by nucleophilic displacement with phthalimide to afford 81, and a second chloromethylation in position 5 to give 82 (Scheme 23). Subsequent reaction with cyanide gave 83, the hydolysis of which afforded the phthalide-protected amino acid 84 which was coupled to H-Ala-Ile-Gly-OMe using propanephosphoric anhydride, followed by hydrazine N-deprotection)110 ... 

Nitrobenzo[6]thiophene may be prepared by reaction of the 3,4-dinitro compound with alcoholic ammonium sulfide422-538 other workers have claimed that this method yields only traces of the desired product.84 It may also be prepared by deamination of 5-amino-4-nitrobenzo[6]thiophene,162,422 or by decomposition of 4-benzo[6]-thiophene diazonium cobaltinitrite with aqueous sodium nitrite in the presence of cuprous oxide and cupric sulfate.84 7-Nitrobenzo[6]-thiophene may be obtained by the latter method (15% yield) from the corresponding amine.84... 

Reaction of benzo[6]thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde with pyruvic acid yields the keto acid (321), the oxime of which gives a-amino-y-(2-benzo[6]thienyl)butyric acid (322) on catalytic hydrogenation, and j9-(2-benzo[6]thienyl)acrylonitrile on treatment with acetic anhydride the latter yields 8-(2-benzo[6]thienyl)acrylic acid on hydro-... 

The fusion of a pyrimidine onto an existing thiophene has also been described. The thiophene with ortho-amino and ester functions (i.e. (280 R = C02Et)) is treated first with a series of elaborate primary amines, which form the 4-carboxamido group. Subsequent reaction with trimethyl-aluminum leads to the dioxothienopyrimidine (281) in which the desired variation occurs at R4 (Equation (99)) <90JHC1761>. 

Nucleophilic displacement of bromine in the readily available benzo[Z>]thiophene-l,l-dioxide 44 with phenols proceeds often in very good yields, as demonstrated by preparation of the molecule 45 <07TL2349>. It has also been found that 4-alkyl-2-nitrothiophenes participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions with secondary aliphatic amines in the presence of silver nitrate, rendering the corresponding 3-alkyl-2-amino-5-nitrothiophenes. In contrast, 2-nitrothiophene itself is ring-opened under such conditions <07JOC5771>. 

Strecker synthesis attempts have been made to optimize the reaction conditions [4b] and to achieve stereoselective syntheses [4c-hJ. Usually chiral amines such as 7 have been employed, which can, for example, on reaction with 6 be converted to the thiophene-substituted amino acid 8 [4c]. 

Trioxopyrido[3,2, 4,5]thieno[3,2-<7]pyrimidin-4(3//)-ones were synthesized by the reactions of 3-amino-2-ethoxycarbonylthieno[2,3-Z>]pyridines with isothiocyanates (1997JHC937) or by the reactions of 3-amino-2-cyano(carbamoyl)thieno[2,3-Z>]pyridines with carbon disulfide (1998M523). An analogous reaction of 2-amino-thiophene-3-carboxamide with carbon disulfide yielded thioxopyrimidinone 10 (1990PS181, 1993MI1).
