Reactivity of Carbamoyl Radicals. A New, General, Convenient Free-Radical Synthesis of Isocyanates from Monoamides of Oxalic Acid
摘要:
A new, general, simple synthesis of isocyanates was developed by oxidation of monoamides of oxalic acid with peroxydisulfate catalyzed by Ag and Cu salts. The reaction was carried out in a two-phase system (water and an organic solvent), and it is suitable also for practical applications, due to the simple experimental conditions and the inexpensive as well as nontoxic reagents. The first example of homolytic intramolecular aromatic carbamoylation is also reported.
N-isopentylmethanesulfinamide (5, 6), urea N,N′-diisobutylurea (16), and oxalamide N,N′-diisobutyloxalamide (17). In addition, new imines such as (E)-1-(furan-2-yl)-N-(2-methylbutyl)methanimine (8) and (E)-2-((isobutylimino)methyl)phenol (13) were identified together with several other imines, acetamides, and formamides. Some of these compounds including the sulfinamides were also released by the Roseobacter-group
We report the chlorination of pyrryl-2-glyoxylic acid and derivatives and hence a synthesis of O,O′-dimethylpyoluteorin and 5-dechloro-O,O′-dimethylpyoluteorin. The different behavior of these compounds on demethylation is described and explained.

Compounds containing at least one tetraketopiperazine-1,4-diyl unit are disclosed as active materials in the positive electrodes of batteries. Novel methods for preparing the tetraketopiperazine unit-containing compounds include: (i) reacting an oxalyl halide and an oxamide, and adding water or an aqueous alkali solution to the reaction mixture, (ii) reacting an oxalyl halide and a silylamine, (iii) reacting an oximidyl halide and an amine, (iv) reacting an oxalyl halide and a silylamine, and reacting with an amine, (v) reacting an oxalyl halide and a dioxamide, (vi) reacting an oximidyl halide and a diamine, and (vii) reacting an oxalyl halide and a silylamine, and reacting with a diamine. A novel method for preparing an oximidyl halide is also disclosed.
