Fünfring-Cycloamidine - Neue farbige Heterocyclen mit ungewöhnlichen Eigenschaften. I. Synthese und spektrale Besonderheiten
摘要:
The cycloaddition of benzamidines with bis-imidoylchlorides 1 derived from oxalic acid was investigated. For example, treatment of benzamidine with 1 gives the new 4H-imidazoles (3a-1) in yields up to 92%. Because of rapid H-transfer processes in solution, the NMR-spectra of 3a-1 show only a single signal set. Apart from prototropism, 3c shows interesting properties as an amphoteric heterocycle. The protonation of 3c is accompanied by a change of color to orange to blue. Probably, protonation takes place on the exocyclic imino nitrogen to give a cyanine type chromophor. The resulting cation can also be regarded as an antiaromatic 1,3-diazacyclopentadienylium system. In order to investigate the influence of exocyclic substituents at nitrogen on the UV/VIS absorption, compounds 3d-h were synthesized. Whereas electron withdrawing groups cause hypsochromic shifts of the first UV/VIS absorption band, the dimethylamino group shifts this band bathochromically as exemplified by 3e. This novel cycloamidine shows strong acidochromism with bathochromic shifts of more than Delta-lambda-(max)=150 nm.
