Abstract
An easy access to dichloromethyl nitrovinylidene ketones of five-membered heterocycles is presented starting from nitroperchlorobutadiene. These complex ketones are valuable starting materials for novel product structures in versatile reactions such as selective reductions, substitutions to give α-nitroacryl cyanides, fragmentations by means of an alkoxide, as well as ring-cleavage/ring-closure steps by the action of hydrazine. Some of the products show biological activity in crop protection.

Experimental Details
1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were obtained on a BRUKER Avance 400. Proton spectra were referenced to TMS; 13C NMR spectra refer to the solvent signal at δ = 77.0 ppm. Spectra in DMSO-d
6 were referenced to δ = 2.50 ppm (1H) and 39.7 ppm (13C), respectively. High-resolution mass spectra were measured with a Bruker Daltonik APEX IV FT Ion Cyclotron Resonance mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization.

To a solution of 7.19 g (38.7 mmol) N-(2-chloro-5-pyridyl-methyl)ethane-1,2-diamine in 30 mL MeOH was added a solution of 5.00 g (18.4 mmol) 1,1,2,4,4-pentachloro-3-nitro-1,3-butadiene (1) in 5 mL MeOH at -40 °C within 5 min. The resulting mixture was kept at -40 °C for 1 h, then 1 h at r.t. The precipitate was sucked off, washed with H2O (3 × 20 mL), MeOH (1 × 10 mL), and Et2O (2 × 20 mL).

In analogy to the preparation of 3, the dissolved nitro-perchlorobutadiene (1) was added to a solution of N,N′-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine (85% in H2O) in 20 mL MeOH. After completion of the reaction, 200 mL of cold H2O was added. Then, the aqueous phase was extracted with CHCl3 (3 × 20 mL). The organic layer was washed twice with H2O and dried over anhyd CaCl2. Removal of the solvent in vacuo afforded a crude product that was reprecipitated with Et2O (20 mL). Drying in vacuo again yielded 3.43 g (65%) imidazolidine 4, mp 122-124 °C. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ = 3.00 (s, 6 H, NMe), 3.86 (br s, 4 H, NCH2). 13C NMR (CDCl3): δ = 35.4 (CH3), 49.8 (CH2), 99.6 (CNO2), 120.9, 125.4 (CCl=CCl2), 162.0 (NCN).

General Procedure for the Synthesis of 2-Nitrobuten-3-ones 7-11
A suspension of 5.00 mmol of the heterocycles 2-6 in 20 mL MeOH each was treated with 2.25 g (20.0 mmol) of a 40% solution of Me2NH in H2O.

Stirring at 30-70 °C (3-6 h, TLC monitoring), recooling to r.t., and adding of H2O (100 mL) then yielded a precipitate which was washed twice with H2O (2 × 20 mL) and Et2O (2 × 20 mL), in detail:

To a solution of 0.50 g (1.37 mmol) imidazolidine 8 in 20 mL EtOH at 0 °C was added 0.055 g (1.44 mmol) NaBH4 within 1 min. After 10 min at this temperature, the mixture was diluted with 100 mL cold H2O and neutralized with 5% HCl. The resulting precipitate was sucked off, washed with H2O (3 × 20 mL), and dried in vacuo.
