N-Sulfonyl amidines bearing 1,2,3-triazole, isoxazole, thiazole and pyridine substituents were successfully prepared for the first time by reactions of primary, secondary and tertiary heterocyclic thioamides with alkyl- and arylsulfonyl azides. For each type of thioamides a reliable procedure to prepare N-sulfonyl amidines in good yields was found. Reactions of 1-aryl-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbothioamides with azides were shown to be accompanied with a Dimroth rearrangement to form 1-unsubstituted 5-arylamino-1,2,3-triazole-4-N-sulfonylcarbimidamides. 2,5-Dithiocarbamoylpyridine reacts with sulfonyl azides to form a pyridine bearing two sulfonyl amidine groups.
A novel carbenoid-mediated approach to thioisomünchnones
was developed by intermolecular copper-catalyzed reactions of diazoacetamides
with aromatic and heteroaromatic thioamides bearing a pyrrolidine
moiety. The direction of the reaction can be switched toward 2-amino-2-heteroarylacrylamides
by replacing the pyrrolidine with an aniline group or by the use of
2-cyano-2-diazoacetamides. The proposed mechanism and DFT calculations
allowed us to rationalize the effect of substituents on the reaction
direction. Effective methods were found for the synthesis of previously
unknown both 2-heteroarylthioisomünchones and 2-heteroarylacrylamides,
based on a wide scope of available reagents with a similar structure.
Some of the synthesized thioisomünchnones exhibited multicolor
fluorescence in the solid state and solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
