“…4-Hydroxypyrrolidin-2-one (3). The procedure described below was adapted from the method of Balenovic et al 7 for the synthesis of the unisolated intermediate 4-amino-3-hydroxybutyric acid and the method of Tomita8 for the final cyclization to 3. A stirred mixture of methyl 4-phthalimidocrotonate (150 g, 0.612 mol) and 1.5 L of 6 N HC1 was refluxed for 16 h. The mixture was then kept at 0-5 °C for 4 h and the precipitated phthalic acid was filtered and washed twice with 50 mL of H20.…”
The product mixture labeled A was chromatographed on a silica gel column (200 g) by elution with hexane-diisopropyl ether (4:1). First fractions gave 3b (0.51 g): mp 170 °C (from re-hexanechloroform);

“…An interesting discrepancy was observed during the cycloaddition of aromatic nitrile oxides with cyanogen (Scheme 17). Bast and co-workers reported 53 that the reaction of benzonitrile oxide with cyanogen smoothly afforded 1,2,4-oxadiazole 17-3 in 73% isolated yield. Alternatively, Ried and Fulde 54 proposed that the reaction of benzonitrile oxides under the similar reaction conditions gave bis (1,2,4-oxadiazoles) 17-1a-c.…”
Section: Scheme 16 Synthesis Of Quinoxalines Benzoxazines and Bisazmentioning
This short review summarises the synthetic applications of cyanogen. The review is divided into several parts, including transitionmetal-catalysed reactions, addition reactions, and cyclisation processes. 1 Introduction 2 Addition Reactions 3 Ring-Closure Reactions 4 Transition-Metal-Catalysed Reactions 5 Conclusions
“…6 However, electron-withdrawing substituents or Lewis acid catalysis enhance the reactivity of nitriles towards nucleophiles and 1,3-dipolar species. 6,7 Thus, nitrilium salts react smoothly with a variety of nucleophiles and 1,3-dipoles. Cycloadditions of organic azides to nitrilium salts 1 lead to trisubstituted tetrazolium salts.…”
2,3,4,5-Tetrahydro-2,4-diimino-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium hexachloroantimonate salts were formed by the addition of carbodiimides to N-alkylnitrilium salts. The compounds were characterized using microanalytical and spectroscopic (IR, MS, and NMR) data.
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.
