Intramolecular Cyclization of N1-(4-Oxo-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-ylidene)-N2-substituted-2,2,2- trifluoroethanimidamides (p-Benzoquinone Imine Derivatives): Syntheses of Trifluoromethylated 6-Hydroxybenzimidazoles and Spiro Dienone Diazacarbocycles
摘要:
Lewis acid-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of N-1-(4-oxo-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-ylidene)-N-2- substituted-2,2,2-trifluoroethanimidamide (p-benzoquinone imine derivatives, 1) prepared by electrooxidation of N-(4-methoxyphenyli-N'-substituted-2,2 2-trifluoroethanimidamides 2 occurred to give 1-substituted-2-(trifluoromethyl)-6-hydroxybenzimidazoles 3. Alternatively, thermal cyclization of 1 gave spiro dienone diazacarbocycles 9 and 10, which were converted into diazepine 12 via a dienone-phenol rearrangement.
Electrochemical Oxidation of N,N'-Disubstituted Trifluoroethanimidamides. An Approach to N-Substituted 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzimidazoles
摘要:
Electrochemical oxidation of N,N'-disubstituted trifluoroethanimidamides 11 in dry acetonitrile and in aqueous acetonitrile provided N-substituted 2-(trifluoromethyl)benzimidazoles 15 and N-1-(4-oxo-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-ylidene)-N-2-substituted-2,2,2-trifluoroethanimidamides (p-benzoquinone imine derivatives) 20, respectively. In dry acetonitrile, electron-donating para substituents in the N,N'-diaryl derivatives strongly promoted the formation of benzimidazoles, whereas N-alkyl-N'(4-methoxyphenyl) derivatives provided rather complex mixtures of 11,20, and polymeric compounds. In wet acetonitrile, p-benzoquinone imines 20 were major products regardless of the substituents. An ECEC process via two-electron oxidation is proposed.
