Thiourea formamidines

In many cases, the a-haloketone does not appear to be an intermediate in this reaction, since reagents such as sulfur trioxide, sulfuric, or 60% nitric add lead to 2-aminothiazole but with lower yields (11 to 43%). Formamidine disulfide [-S-C(=NH)NH2]2, a product of the oxidation of thiourea, seems to be the intermediate in this reaction, since upon treatment with ketones, it gives 2-aminothiazole (604). However, the true mechanism of this reaction has not yet been completely elucidated. 

Thiourea dioxide, or formamidine sulfinic acid, is an oxygenated thiourea derivative synthesized by the oxidation of thiourea with hydrogen peroxide. It has the chemical formula (NH2)NHCS02H and is tautomeric. 

The primary synthesis of alkoxypyrimidines is exemplified in the condensation of dimethyl malonate with O-methylurea in methanolic sodium methoxide at room temperature to give the 2-methoxypyrimidine (854) (64M207) in the condensation of diethyl phenoxymalonate with formamidine in ethanolic sodium methoxide to give the 5-phenoxypyrimidine (855) (64ZOB1321) and in the condensation of butyl 2,4-dimethoxyacetoacetate with thiourea to give 5-methoxy-6-methoxymethyl-2-thiouracil (856) (58JA1664). 

However, Sahasrabudhey thinks that the compound formed from 5-amino-1,2,3,4-thiatriazole does not have the composition CSN2H3CI, but (CSN2H4C1)2, and is in fact the dihydrochloride of formamidine disulfide, the oxidation product of thiourea. This con-...

Vat dyes in general have the disadvantage that reduction to a water-soluble form is necessary before application to cellulosic textiles. Traditionally sodium dithionite in alkaline solution serves as the reducing agent. An alternative sometimes used in vat printing is thiourea dioxide, which is converted into formamidine sulphinate in alkaline solution (section 12.9.1). 

The direct reaction of [TCO4] in ethanolic solution with dppe and oxalic acid produces the red Tc" complex [Tc(ox)(dppe)2] (552). Attempts to prepare similar complexes with succinic acid, phthalic acid, or salicylic acid failed, or the complexes were stable in solution only. " Similarly, cationic complexes of Tc" are produced by reaction of the versatile precursor [TcO(OH)(dppe)2] (204) with various dithiocarbamates, which produces several complexes of general formula [Tc(dtc)(dppe)2] (553). For this reaction the reductant formamidine sulphinic acid (510) was required in an alkaline solution. The X-ray crystal structure of [Tc(S2CNMe2)(dppe)2] (554) shows a distorted octahedral geometry. Cyclic voltammetry reveals a reversible reduction wave Tc"/Tc couple at —0.53 V, and a reversible oxidation at +0.3 V for the Tc" /Tc" couple. The same compound (554) was also prepared from the thiourea precursor [TcO(tmtu)4] + (91).The reaction of this precursor in dmf in the presence of dppe produced a mixture of brown [TcO(dtc)(tmtu)2] and the Tc" complex (553). The first compound is probably an intermediate... 

Azzaroni etal. [163] have used STM to study electrochemical reactivity of thiourea toward Au(lll). Sequential STM imaging has shown that thiourea adsorbs as striped arrays that evolve to the hexagonal close-packed structure when surface charge density is decreased. The transient hep structure undergoes electrooxidation to formamidine disulfide, which slowly yields adsorbed sulfur. Adsorption of thiourea on the pc-Au electrode from KCIO4 solutions has also been studied [164]. The film pressure and the Gibbs surface... 

This method is a modification of the procedure described by Taylor and Ehrhart.2 Formamidine has previously been prepared (as its hydrochloride) from hydrogen cyanide via the formimino ether, which is then treated with ammonia,3 or by desulfurization of thiourea in the presence of ammonium chloride.4 The methosulfate salt of formamidine has been reported to be formed by reaction of formamide with dimethyl sulfate.8... 

Examples include the synthesis of 3-amino-l,2,4-oxadiazoles starting from 3-acylamino-5-methyl-l,2,4-oxadiazole <2002H811> and 2-aryl-l,2,3-triazoles from l,2,4-oxadiazole-3-ketone arylhydrazones <1999T12885, 2006JOC5616>. Oximes, hydrazones, formamidines, and thioureas of the furazan series also undergo base-catalyzed mononuclear rearrangements <2004RCB1121>. Nucleophilic attack at N(3) takes place in the benzofuroxan series. For example, reaction with secondary amines leads to o-nitroarylhydrazines (Scheme 55). 

There are standard methods available for synthesis of amidines 10] and guanidines. In particular, reaction of an acylated thiourea with an amine, followed by removal of the acyl group(s) from the acylguanidine intermediate provides a mild and efficient synthesis [11]. When dihydroxyacetonc is treated with formamidine acetate in liquid ammonia, imidazole-4-methanol is isolated in 65-70% yield as its hydrochloride (3) (Scheme 4.3.2). This convenient synthesis is much less tedious than the old approach based on the reaction of fructose with ammonia [16].

Also known as thiourea dioxide (TUDO) or amino(imino)methanesulfinic acid (FAS), formamidine sulfinic acid is a reducing agent mainly used in the bleaching of deinked pulps to remove colored dyes [23-28].

It appears that the main reaction product of OsO with thiourea is [Os(thio)s], together with formamidine disulfide, via initial formation of [Os02thio4]. The earlier-reported species [Os(thio)j](OH)Cl3 is likely to have contained the osmium(III) species. Salts of [Os(thio)< ] with [Cr(NH3)2(SCN)4] and [Cr(SCN)5] have been isolated using OSO4, thiourea and the complex anion in HC1. [Os(thio) ](SnCl3)2Cl has been reported ESCA data on [Os(thio)j]Cl3 have been given.
