Unexpected substitution of the acyl group in isothiazole-ring formation. Attempted conversion of 1-acyl-2,2-diaminoethylenes into 2-acyl-3,3-diaminoacrylonitriles

Abstract

2-(Acylmethylene) hexahydropyrimidines (7) have been converted into the corresponding benzoyl isothiocyanate adducts (8), treatment of which with sulphuryl chloride gave the 3-chloroisothiazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine (10) instead of the expected 3-acyl compound (9). Oxidation of the adduct (8c) by bromine gave the isothiazolo[2,3-a]-pyrimidine (9c) in low yield; this failed to undergo base-catalysed fragmentation to the nitrile (13c). Finally, the α-acyl-α-cyanomethylenehexahydropyrimidines (13) were prepared from the phenacyl- and 2-thenoylmethyl-cyanides (11) by condensation with 1-methyl-2-methylthio-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine (12).
