Synthesis of 3-Methylthio-4-aryl-3-pyrroline-2,5-diones and 3-Arylpyrrolidine-2,5-diones by Reaction of Nitroketene Dithioacetal with Arylacetonitriles
摘要:
The reaction of nitroketene dithioacetal (1a), i.e., 2,2-bis(methylthio)-1-nitroethylene, with arylacetonitriles (2a-I) in the presence of the base like sodium hydroxide gave 4-nitrobut-2-enenitriles (3a-I) which were converted into 5-hydroxyimino-4-methylthio-3-phenyl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones (4a-i) under refluxing in methanol. Title compounds (5a-i) were readily obtained by the treatment of 4a-i with hydrochloric acid and were finally led to N-methylated products (6a-I) with methyl iodide. The reduction of maleimides (4-6) with zinc dust in acetic acid afforded the corresponding 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,5-diones (7a-i) that can be converted to pharmacologycally active compounds like mesembrines.

metal-free protocol for the preparation of fluorescent and non-fluoresent 3-methylthio-4-arylmaleimides in a single step through a new rearrangement from thiazolidine-2,4-diones is described. By employing the optimized reaction conditions, a broad scope of derivatives was prepared in ≤97% yield. The reaction tolerated several substituted aryl groups, including the challenging preparation of pyridyl-containing
