α-Thioureidoalkylation of functionally substituted ureas: I. Tandem cyclization and esterification in reactions of N-(carboxyalkyl)ureas with 1,3-dialkyl-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-diphenylimidazolidine-2-thiones in alcohols
摘要:
Acid-catalyzed reactions of N-(carboxyalkyl)ureas with 1,3-dialkyl-4,5-dihydroxy-4,5-diphenylimidazolidine-2-thiones in methanol or propan-2-ol led to the formation of previously unknown omega-(4,6-dialkyl-2-oxo-3a,6a-diphenyl-5-thioxooctahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazol-1-yl)alkanoic acids and their methyl and isopropyl esters. The structure of some esters was proved by X-ray analysis. Methyl (4,6-diethyl-2-oxo-3a,6adiphenyl-5-thioxooctahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazol-1-yl)acetate showed anxiolytic effect.
