Heterocycles from a-Aminonitriles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Owing to their various modes of reactivity, aaminonitriles represent versatile building blocks for the construction of a wide range of nitrogen heterocycles. The present Concept article focuses on synthetic methodologies using their bifunctional nature which is the basis of their reactivity as a-amino carbanions and as iminium ions. Reactions exclusively taking place on either the amine or on the nitrile moiety will not be considered.

An efficient procedure for the preparation of 4-substituted 5-aminoimidazoles.
The preparation of O-methylimidates from alpha-aminonitriles and their subsequent co-cyclization with primary amines to afford 4-substituted 5-aminoimidazoles was studied. It was found that the mildly acidic pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate efficiently catalyzed each stage of the reaction sequence: (a) the formation of the O-methylimidates, (b) their co-cyclization with a variety of primary amines...
متن کاملSynthesis of novel pyrazole-based heterocycles via a copper(II)-catalysed domino annulation.
Pyrazole-based β-aminonitriles and β-amino-carbaldehydes as bifunctional building blocks are introduced in a facile copper(II)-catalysed one-pot domino generation of multiple N-containing heterobi- and tricycles. This streamlined synthetic approach permits easy access to novel pyrazole-fused imidazo- and pyrimido[1,2-c]pyrimidinones and to pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidinone species with isolated yield...
متن کاملA truly green synthesis of α-aminonitriles via Strecker reaction
BACKGROUND The classical Strecker reaction is one of the simplest and most economical methods for the synthesis of racemic α-aminonitriles (precursor of α-amino acids) and pharmacologically useful compounds. RESULTS Indium powder in water is shown to act as a very efficient catalyst for one-pot, three-component synthesis of α-aminonitriles from diverse amines, aldehydes and TMSCN. This genera...
متن کاملMulticomponent reactions II
The concept of multicomponent reactions (MCR) [1] has been around in organic chemistry since the very early days. Indeed, the first example known in literature, the Strecker synthesis of α-aminonitriles [2], has been developed into an industrial process for the production of methionine in an annual scale of several hundreds of thousand tons per year. In addition, a lot of syntheses of heterocyc...
متن کاملCobalt(II) chloride catalyzed one-pot synthesis of α-aminonitriles
A simple and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of alpha-aminonitriles by a one-pot three- component condensation of aldehydes, amines, and potassium cyanide in acetonitrile in the presence of a catalytic amount of CoCl2 at room temperature.
