Thus, when hydrazines 4a,b were allowed to react at 0 C with chiral a-acetylenic ketones of type 3, pyrazolyl oxazolidine derivatives 5a±d were formed with total regioselectivity in 92±97% yield. Subsequent oxazolidine ring opening by means of TFA, and re-protection of the amino group as the N-Boc derivatives, aorded enantiopure amino alcohols 7a±d.

It has been shown that the reactions with primary and secondary amines as monodentate nucleophiles afford 2-aminoimidazolones ef®ciently under very mild conditions. Judicious selection of the primary amines employed can modulate the regioselectivity. Analogous reactions employing bidentate nucleophiles (e.g. amidines) also afford imidazolyl derivatives. The formation of the latter is preferred over the formation of sevenmembered heterocycles of the triazepinone type. The optimized methodology in solution described herein should be readily adaptable to use in the solid phase for the parallel synthesis of collections of 2-aminoimidazolone derivatives with a high degree of molecular diversity.

The method is based on the efficient catalysis of CuBr, which promotes the formation of the corresponding carbenoids 11 from diazo derivatives 8. These Cu-carbenoids 11 react with the thiocarbonyl group of the primary thioamides to afford presumably intermediates of the general type 12, which by subsequent cyclocondensation furnish the title thiazole derivatives.

The combination of the 'azirine/oxazolone method' for the synthesis of linear peptides containing a,a-disubstituted a-amino acids and the acid-catalyzed amide cyclization in DMF at 60" proved to be an excellent preparative route to ten-membered cyclic depsipeptides and peptides. In the case of the anthranilic-acid derivative, a transannular ring-closure reaction was observed (24 + 25). Larger rings proved to be extremely sensitive to hydrolysis.

Reaction of 3-Amino-2H-azirines with 2-Amino-4,6-dinitrophenol (Picramic Acid): Synthesis of Quinazoline- and 1,3-Benzoxazole Derivatives

ABSTRACT The reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)-2H-azirines 1a–c and 2-amino-4,6-dinitrophenol (picram... more ABSTRACT The reaction of 3-(dimethylamino)-2H-azirines 1a–c and 2-amino-4,6-dinitrophenol (picramic acid, 2) in MeCN at 0° to room temperature leads to a mixture of the corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline-2-one 5, 3-(dimethylamino)-1,2-dihydroquinazoline 6, 2-(1-aminoalkyl)-1,3-benzoxazole 7, and N-[2-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-α-aminocarboxamide 8 (Scheme 3). Under the same conditions, 3-(N-methyl-N-phenyl-amino)-2H-azirines 1d and 1e react with 2 to give exclusively the 1,3-benzoxazole derivative 7. The structure of the products has been established by X-ray crystallography. Two different reaction mechanisms for the formation of 7 are discussed in Scheme 6. Treatment of 7 with phenyl isocyanate, 4-nitrobenzoyl chloride, tosyl chloride, and HCl leads to a derivatization of the NH2-group of 7 (Scheme 4). With NaOH or NaOMe as well as with morpholine, 7 is transformed into quinazoline derivatives 5, 14, and 15, respectively, via ring expansion (Scheme 5). In case of the reaction with morpholine, a second product 16, corresponding to structure 8, is isolated. With these results, the reaction of 1 and 2 is interpreted as the primary formation of 7, which, under the reaction conditions, reacts with Me2NH to yield the secondary products 5, 6, and 8 (Scheme 7).

The reaction with lithium enolates of amides of type 2, bearing two substituents at C(2), proceeded smoothly in THF at 0"; keteniminium azides C and azidoenamines D are likely intermediates. Under analogous reaction conditions, DPPA and amides of type 3 with only one substituent at C(2) gave 2-diazoamides 5 in fair-to-good yield (Scheme 2). The corresponding 2-diazo derivatives 6-8 were formed in low yield by treatment of the lithium enolates of N,N-dimethyl-2-phenylacetamide, methyl 2-phenylacetate, and benzyl phenyl ketone, respectively, with DPPA. Thermolysis of 2-diazo-N-methyl-N-phenylcarboxamides 5a and 5b yielded 3-substituted 1,3-dihydro-N-methyl-2H-indol-2-ones 9a and 9b, respectively (Scheme 3). The diazo compounds 5 8 reacted with 1,3-thiazole-5 (4H)-thiones 10 and thiobenzophenone (13) to give 6-oxa-1,9-dithia-3-azaspiro[4.4]nona-2,7-dienes 11 (Scheme 4) and thiirane-2-cdrboxylic acid derivatives 14 (Scheme 5), respectively. In analogy to previously described reactions, a mechanism via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, leading to 2,5-dihydro-l,3,4thiadiazoles, and elimination of N2 to give the 'thiocarbonyl ylides' of type H or K is proposed. These dipolar intermediates with a conjugated C=O group then undergo either a 1,S-dipolar electrocyclization to give spiroheterocycles 11 or a 1,3-dipolar electrocyclization to thiiranes 14. ') *) 3,
