Chloroformamidinium salts: Efficient reagents for preparation of 2-aminobenzoimidazole, 2-aminobenzoxazole, and 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives

摘要

A Reaction involving chloroformamidinium salts (TCFH 1a, BTCFH 1b, DmCFH 1c, DmPCFH 1d, BPCFH 1e) and 2-aminophenol 9a, benzene-1,2-diamine 9b, and 2-aminothiophenol 9c afforded 2-aminobenzoxazole 13, 2-aminobenzoimidazole 14, and 2-aminobenzothiazole 15 derivatives, respectively as major products, due to the in situ heterocyclization with dimethylamine acting as the better leaving group. Attempts for preparation of 13-15 from the reaction of N,N-dimethyl carbomyl chloride 16 with 2-aminophenol 9a, benzene-1,2-diamine 9b, and 2-aminothiophenol 9c were unsuccessful, and gave the unexpected products benzoxazol-2-o1 18a, benzoimidazol-2-one 18b, and S-(2-amino-phenyl) N,N-dimethylthiocarbamate 19 respectively. On the other hand reaction of chloroformamidinium salts la-e with 3-benzyl-2-hydrazinoquinoxaline 3 and 1-hydrazinophthalazine hydrochloride 4 in the presence of triethylamine as a base, afforded the [1,2,4]triazolo derivatives 6 and 7 respectively in good yield and purity. These triazole derivatives were formed due to the strong tendency towards heterocyclization and substitution of dimethylamine group as a better leaving group.
