Reactions of malonthioamides and malonamidines with methyl acetylpyruvate as a one-step method to prepare 4-thio- and 4-aminopyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridines
摘要:
We report an efficient one-step approach to 4-thio and 4-aminopyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridines based on the selective reaction of malonthioamides and malonamidines with methyl acetylpyruvate. Structural proof is given by HMBC and HMQC spectra. A cascade heterocyclization mechanism is proposed for the reactions studied. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The equilibrium concentrations of E- and Z-isomers of thiazolidin-4-ones containing exocyclic double bonds in positions 2 and 5 of the cycle were determined in DMSO-d(6). The influence of the nature of the substituents on the equilibrium position was found. Electron-releasing substituents stabilize the E, Z-configuration and electron-withdrawing substituents stabilize the Z,Z-configuration. The association constants of E- and Z-2-ethoxycarbonyl-methylenethiazolidin-4-ones with the sodium cation were determined by H-1 NMR spectroscopy.
