Synthesis of .alpha.-cyano carbonyl compounds by flash vacuum thermolysis of (alkylamino)methylene derivatives of Meldrum's acid. Evidence for facile 1,3-shifts of alkylamino and alkylthio groups in imidoylketene intermediates
摘要:
The syntheses and flash vacuum thermolyses of 5-[(alkylamino)methylene]-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones (Meldrum's acid derivatives) 13a-i are described. Thermolysis of 13a as well as of ethyl 3-(tert-butylamino)acrylate (22) gives a tautomeric mixture of cyanoacetaldehyde (14) and 3-hydroxypropenenitrile (15). Thermolysis of 13b gives iminoacrolein 26 and not cyanoacetone (29). Thermolysis of 13c,d gives S-methyl cyanothioacetate (30), and 13f-h give cyanoacetamides 31 in high yields. 2-Cyanopent-4-enoic acid derivatives 32 are obtained from Meldrum's acids 13e,i. The results are discussed in terms of facile 1,3-shifts of methylthio and alkylamino groups in imidoylketenes, interconverting imidoylketenes and acylketene imines.

developed using a thin-layerchromatography (TLC) imaging method. As a test-bed reaction, we monitored 48 thiol conjugate additions to a Meldrum’s acid derivative (1) in parallel using TLC. The TLC elutions were imaged using a cell phone and a LEGO brick-constructed UV/vis light box. Further, a spotting device was constructed from LEGO bricks that allows simple transfer of the samples from a well-plate
