Regioselective Synthesis of 2-Imino-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones by Treatment ofN-(Anthracen-9-yl)-N′-ethylthiourea with Bromoacetic Acid Derivatives

2002

The reaction between N-(anthracen-9-yl)-N′-ethylthiourea (1) and methyl bromoacetate yielded mainly 2-[(anthracen-9-yl)imino]-3-ethyl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (2), together with some of the regioisomeric 3-(anthracen-9-yl)-2-ethylimino-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (3). The structures of the products were elucidated by NMR techniques and, for 3, X-ray crystallographic analysis. Treatment of 1 with bromoacetyl bromide again yielded 2 and 3, but with a reversed product distribution ratio, thus providing an interesting and unexpected regioselectivity, depending on the electrophile selected. The underlying cause of the observed regioselectivity is a result of different reaction pathways taken by the two e…

ChemInform Abstract: Aza-Henry Reaction of Isatin Ketimines with Methyl 4-Nitrobutyrate en Route to Spiro[piperidine-3,3′-oxindoles].

2016

A new enantioselective route to spiro[piperidine-3,3′-oxindoles] from isatin ketimines is described. The aza-Henry reaction of N-Boc-isatin ketimines with methyl 4-nitrobutyrate in the presence of a Ph2BOX-CuBr2 complex provided the corresponding nitro amino esters with good diastereoselectivity and excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee). The aza-Henry adducts were transformed into spiro[piperidine-3,3′-oxindoles] after reduction of the nitro group to oxime, and cleavage of the N-Boc group and lactamisation.

2014

The asymmetric aza-Henry reaction of isatin N-Boc-ketimines (I) with nitromethane in the presence of a Cu-Ph-box complex leads to a series of N-Boc-protected nitroamines (III) with high enantioselectivity in most cases.

Organocatalytic enantioselective aza-Friedel–Crafts reaction of 2-naphthols with benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxides

2015

An organocatalytic enantioselective aza-Friedel–Crafts addition of 2-naphthols to benzoxathiazine 2,2-dioxides is described using a quinine-derived bifunctional catalyst. The method allows the use of a wide range of aromatic compounds as nucleophiles, including 1-naphthol and sesamol, and benzoxathiazines 2,2-dioxides, expanding the existing state of the art enantioselective synthesis of aminomethylnaphthol derivatives.

A New Tandem Cross Metathesis-Intramolecular Aza-Michael Reaction for the Synthesis of α,α-Difluorinated Lactams

2012

A new tandem cross metathesis–intramolecular aza-Michael­ reaction in which an α,α-difluorinated amide serves as a source of nucleophilic nitrogen is described. This process gives rise to a new family of fluorinated γ- and δ-lactams. The tandem protocol is catalyzed by the Hoveyda–Grubbs second-generation ruthenium catalyst with titanium(IV) tetraisopropoxide as a co-catalyst and it is highly efficient when conjugated ketones are used as the Michael acceptors. With conjugated esters, however, it is necessary to perform a step-by-step procedure in which the cyclization event is activated by the addition of a base. An asymmetric version of the process is also evaluated.

both of which contain a thiourea moiety (Scheme 1).The catalysts are capable of deprotonating suitable nucleo-philes, such as activated carbonyl compounds. This proton-transfer reaction generates an ion pair, which is composed ofthe protonated catalyst and the anionic nucleophile interact-ing through hydrogen bonds. At least one of the NH moietiesin the protonated catalyst is involved in activating theelectrophilic reaction partner.
