Synthesis of Azomethine Imines via Alkene Aminocarbonylation and their Derivatization into Pyrazolones

Lavergne, Kaitlyn January 2015 (has links)
Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds are very important to the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, among others. Over the past few years, the Beauchemin group has been exploring reactivity of N-substituted isocyanates and as part of this has developed a metal-free alkene aminocarbonylation process relying on imino-isocyanates to form azomethine imines. The azomethine imines formed are interesting since they contain a cyclic β-aminocarbonyl motif. Catalysis of this reaction using basic additives allowed milder reaction conditions with electron-rich C=C bonds such as enol ethers. Efforts have also been made towards the derivatization of these azomethine imines into useful products. It was discovered that upon reduction and aromatization of azomethine imines, pyrazolones could be obtained. This is providing a novel modular approach to these compounds, which have relevance in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This reactivity was extended to include imino-isothiocyanates.
