Novel Synthesis of 3,4-Diaminobutanenitriles and 4-Amino-2-butenenitriles from 2-(Cyanomethyl)aziridines through Intermediate Aziridinium Salts: An Experimental and Theoretical Approach
摘要:
1-Arylmethyl-2-(cyanomethyl)aziridines were transformed into 4-(N,N-bis(arylmethyl)amino)-3-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)butanenitriles and 4-(N,N-bis(arylmethyl)amino)-2-butenenitriles via 4-(N,N-bis(arylmethyl)amino)-3-bromobutanenitriles in high yields and purity. The key steps involve the unprecedented regiospecific ring opening of intermediate 2-(cyanomethyl)aziridinium salts by bromide and pyrrolidine in acetonitrile, exclusively at the substituted aziridine carbon atom. The results were rationalized on the basis of ab initio calculations.

α-dichlorobenzyl)amino)butanenitriles with sodiummethoxide in methanol resulted in novel methyl N-(2-chloro-1-(cyanomethyl)ethyl)benzimidates, although in low yields. The latter γ-chloro nitriles were smoothly converted into methyl N-(2-cyanocyclopropyl)benzimidates as precursors of biologically relevant β-ACC derivatives through a 1,3-cyclization protocol by reaction with potassium tert-butoxide in THF

Ringopening of 1-arylmethyl-2-(cyanomethyl)aziridines with HBr afforded 3-(arylmethyl)amino-4-bromobutyronitriles via regiospecific ringopening at the unsubstituted aziridine carbon. Previous experimental and theoretical reports show treatment of the same compounds with benzyl bromide to furnish 4-amino-3-bromobutanenitriles through ringopening at the substituted aziridine carbon.

1-Arylmethyl-2-(cyanomethyl)aziridines were transformed into novel N-arylmethyl-N-(2-chloro-3-cyanopropyl)amides as the major reaction products upon treatment with acid chlorides in CH2Cl2 through the ringopening of intermediate aziridinium salts. Subsequently, N-arylmethyl-N-(2-chloro-3-cyanopropyl)amides were converted into stable N-arylmethyl-N-(3-cyano-2-propenyl)amides for the first time by means

1-Arylmethyl-2-(bromomethyl)aziridines were transformed into 2-[N-(arylmethyl)amino]pentanedinitriles upon treatment with an excess of potassium cyanide in DMSO through an unprecedented and peculiar reaction mechanism, involving base-induced ring opening of intermediate 2-(cyanomethyl)aziridines into allylamines, followed by migration of the double bond out of the conjugation towards aldimines via enamine intermediates. The resulting aminopentanedinitriles, served as substrates for the synthesis of novel 2-imino-5-methoxypyrrolidines upon treatment with sodium methoxide in methanol, which were either acetylated at the free imino group to afford the more stable N-acetylimino derivatives or hydrolyzed towards the corresponding synthetically relevant 5-methoxypyrrolidin-2-ones.
