Reaction of N-vinylpyrazolium and N-vinylindazolium salts with cyanide ion: formation of 1,2-dihydropyrimidines, 3,4-dihydroquinazolines, and quinolines
摘要:
The reaction of 1-aryl-2-vinylpyrazolium tetrafluoroborates with potassium cyanide affords 2-hydroxy-1,2-dihydropyrimidines 3, which exist as open-chain tautomers 4, both in the solid state and in solution. The X-ray structure of the p-chlorophenyl derivative 4b has been determined (ClC14N2O3H15, P2(1)/c, a = 11.433 (3) angstrom, b = 16.086 (4) angstrom, c = 7.813 (4) angstrom, beta = 94.22 (5)-degrees, V = 1433.0 (9), Z = 4, R = 0.06 for 1334 observed reflections). Protonation of these vinylogous amidines 4 results in their cyclization and dehydration to pyrimidinium salts 6. In the case of 1-vinyl-2-methylindazolium tetrafluoroborate 8, the reaction with cyanide ion leads to a mixture of 3,4-dihydroquinazoline 12 and 2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3-cyanoquinoline (13). The mechanism proposed for this rearrangement is supported by the isolation of the open-chain intermediate in the case of 1-vinyl-2-phenylindazolium salt.
