Preparation of 5‐bromo‐6‐phenylimidazo[2,1‐b][1,3,4]thiadiazol‐2‐ylamines

The reaction of primary or secondary amines with 2,5-dibromo-6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]-thiadiazole (5) leads to a chemoselective replacement of the 2-Br substituent. The process represents a convenient route to the corresponding 2-ylamines 7a-d. Hydrazine reacts in an analogous fashion (5 → 7e). The structure determinations are based on an X-ray crystal structure analysis and on one- and two-dimensional NMR measurements.

Preparation of 2-amino-5-methyl-7H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-α]pyrimidin-7-ones

2-Amino substituted 7H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-α]pyrimidin-7-ones 11a-e were prepared by the reaction of 2-bromo-5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole (1b) and diketene (8), subsequent cyclocondensation (9b 3b) and displacement of the bromo substituents by the reaction with primary or secondary amines (3b 11a-e). The hydrogen atom 6-H in the heterobicycle 3b is replaced by a Cl or Br atom in the transformation of 3b 14a,b. The 2-bromo-6-chloro compound 14a reacts chemoselectively in the 2-position with dimethylamine (14a 15). The structure elucidations are based on one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques including a heteronuclear NOE measurement.

Preparation of 5-methyl-2-sulfanyl-7h-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]-pyrimidin-7-ones

7H-1,3,4-Thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-7-ones can be prepared by the acylation of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles with diketene and subsequent ring closure (dehydration). Whereas arylthio substituents (SC6H5) can be introduced in 2-position by the replacement of Br, alkylthio groups (SC2H5) have to be already presentin the starting 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole. The ambident nucleophile 2-thiazolidinethione reacts in the Br substitution reaction on the N atom.
