A NEW SYNTHESIS OF HETEROCYCLES VIA CARBONILATION OF AMINES WITH CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE PRESENCE OF SELENIUM

Amines which contain a second functional group in the appropriate position react with carbon monoxide in the presence of selenium to form heterocyclic derivatives in which carbon monoxide is incorporated.For instance, diamines, aminoalcohols, and their related compounds undergo carbonylation to give cyclic ureas, urethanes and the corresponding carbonylated compounds.For diamines and amino alcohols with more than two carbon atoms between the functional groups, intermolecular carbonylative coupling takes place competing with the intramolecular reaction.High selectivity has been attained under specified reaction conditions.Anilines having cyano or acetyl groups on the ortho position afford new classes of selenium-containing heterocycles.In these reactions, carbamoselenoate has been suggested as the common key intermediate.

A New Synthesis of Cyclic Ureas, Cyclic Urethanes, and a Quinazolinedione. Selenium-Assisted Carbonylation of Aromatic Amines with Carbon Monoxide

Five-, six-, and seven-membered cyclic ureas were synthesized in excellent yields from various aromatic diamines by reaction with carbon monoxide and a stoichiometric or excess amount of selenium in the presence of an oxidizing agent such as oxygen or dimethyl sulfoxide producing selectively the five- and six-membered cyclic ureas.In the case of 2-(2-aminoethyl)aniline under the catalytic conditions, intra- and intermolecular carbonylation competed resulting in the formation of a mixture of the seven-membered cyclic urea, 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1,3-benzodiazepin-2-one and the acyclic urea, 1,3-bisurea.The distribution ratio of these two products varied depending on the reaction conditions, but selective formation of the cyclic urea was attained only when a stoichiometric or excess amount of selenium was used.In addition to the above diamino compounds, 2-carbamoylaniline, 2-amino-3-pyridinol, and 2-(hydroxymethyl)-aniline also underwent similar carbonylation to give 2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione, oxazolopyridin-2-(3H)-one, and 1,4-dihydro-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one, respectively.

A NEW SYNTHESIS OF CYCLIC UREAS FROM AROMATIC DIAMINES BY SELENIUM-ASSISTED CARBONYLATION WITH CARBON MONOXIDE

Aromatic cyclic ureas have been synthesized in good yields from o-amino or o-aminoalkyl substituted aromatic amines by the reaction with carbon monoxide using selenium.
