A simple, mild and practical cascade process for the direct conversion of aldehydes to cyanamides was developed featuring a wide substrate scope and great functional group tolerability. This method allows for transformations of readily available, inexpensive, and abundant aldehydes to highly valuable cyanamides in a pot, atom, and step-economical manner with a green nitrogen source. This protocol will serve as a robust tool for the installation of the cyanamide moiety in various complicated molecules.

A simple, mild and practical process for the direct conversion of nitriles to cyanamides was newly discovered and exhibited a wide substrate scope as well as great functional group-tolerability (36 examples). In this efficient strategy, the in situ generated amidoximes obtained from the reaction of nitriles with hydroxylamine subsequently underwent Tiemann rearrangement, producing the corresponding cyanamides with great isolated yields under SO2F2. Additionally, the control experiments reportedly shed light on the tentative mechanism involved in the formation and elimination of the key intermediate: a sulfonyl ester.

N-Allenyl cyanamides have been accessed via a one-pot deoxycyanamidation-isomerization approach using propargyl alcohol and N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-methylbenzenesulfonamide. The utility of this novel class of allenamide was explored through derivatization, with hydroarylation, hydroamination, and cycloaddition protocols employed to access an array of cyanamide products that would be challenging to access using existing methods.

A copper-catalyzed three-component synthesis of trisubstituted N-aryl guanidines involving cyanamides, arylboronic acids, and amines has been developed. This operationally simple oxidative process, which is performed in the presence of K2CO3, a catalytic amount of CuCl 2·2H2O, bipyridine, and oxygen (1 atm), allows the rapid assembly of N,N′,N″-trisubstituted aryl guanidines.

The cross-coupling of alkyl cyanamides with a number of aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl halide and pseudohalide coupling partners has been developed via a modification of Pd-catalyzed amidation methods. The reactions proceed selectively under mild conditions with reasonable reaction times in moderate to excellent yields.

An efficient approach for the synthesis of N-1 substituted hydantoins
Kumar, Vinod,Kaushik,Mazumdar, Avik
experimental part, p. 1910 - 1916 (2009/04/04)
An efficient three-step route for the synthesis of N-1 alkyl/aryl- substituted hydantoins was developed from inexpensive commercially available substrates. The reaction of amines with cyanogen bromide takes place to give monoalkyl/aryl cyanamides. This on treatment with methyl bromoacetate in the presence of sodium hydride in tetrahydrofuran affords methyl N-cyano-N-alkyl/arylaminoacetate, which undergoes hydrolysis and cyclization in the presence of 50% H2SO4 to afford N-1 substituted hydantoins in very good-to-excellent yields. Wide varieties of final products having primary, secondary, tertiary, and aryl substituents at the N-1 position were successfully synthesized by this method. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008.

Enzymatic generation of nitric oxide (NO) by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) consists of two oxidation steps. The first step converts L-arginine to N(G)-hydroxy-L-arginine (NOHA), a key intermediate, and the second step converts NOHA to NO and L-citrulline. To fully probe the substrate specificity of the second enzymatic step, an extensive structural screening was carried out using a series of N-alkyl (and N-aryl) substituted-N'-hydroxyguanidines (1-14). Among the eleven N-alkyl-N'-hydroxyguanidines evaluated, N-n-propyl (2), N-iso-propyl (3), N-n-butyl (4), N-s-butyl (5), N-iso-butyl (6), N-pentyl (8) and N-iso-pentyl (9) derivatives were efficiently oxidized by the three isoenzymes of NOS (nNOS, iNOS and eNOS) to generate NO. N-Butyl-N'-hydroxyguanidine (4) was the best substrate for iNOS (K(m)=33 microM) and N-iso-propyl-N'-hydroxyguanidine (3) was the best substrate for nNOS (K(m)=56 microM). When the alkyl substituents were too small (such as ethyl 1) or too large (such as hexyl 10 and cyclohexyl 11), the activity decreased significantly. This suggests that the van der Waals interaction between the alkyl group and the hydrophobic cavity in the NOS active site contributes significantly to the relative reactivity of compounds 3-11. Moreover, five N-aryl-N'-hydroxyguanidines were found to be good substrates for iNOS, but not substrates for eNOS and nNOS. N-phenyl-N'-hydroxyguanidine was the best substrate among them (K(m)=243 microM). This work demonstrates that N-alkyl substituted hydroxyguanidine compounds are novel NOS substrates which 'short-circuit' the first oxidation step of NOS, and N-aryl substituted hydroxyguanidine compounds are isoform selective NOS substrate.

A convenient procedure for preparing N-mono- and NN-di-substituted cyanamides from cyanogen bromide has been developed.N,N-Disubstituted thioureas, obtained from the cyanamides, were condensed with α-bromo-α-cyanoketones to give 5-cyano-2-(N,N-disubstituted amino)thiazoles and with α-bromo-ketones to give 2-(N,N-disubstituted amino)thiazoles.Substitution in the latter products afforded 5-trifluoroacetyl- and 5-nitro-2-(N,N-disubstituted amino)thiazoles; nitration is greatly facilitated by the presence of a 4-aryl group.The average values of the barriers of rotation of the barriers to rotation of the 2-NR2 groups (ΔG298) in the 5-substituted thiazoles were established by variable temperature 1H n.m.r. spectrometry to be 57.4 kJ mol -1 (5-NO2), 56.2 (5-COCF3), and 51.5 (5-CN).I.r. examination showed that the 5-trifluoroacetyl compounds adopt one rotational form preferentially; this is probably the carbonyl O,S-syn-conformation.
