Abstract

Base-promoted facile synthesis of thiohydantoins has been described via intramolecular amidolysis of C-3 functionalized 2-azetidinones. This approach provides a convenient and rapid access to diversely functionalized thiohydantoins compared to conventional protocols.

  • 26 Typical Procedure for the Preparation of Thiourea 2: To a stirred solution of 2-isothiocyanateazetidin-2-one 1 (1 mmol) was added a solution of the amine (1 mmol) in anhyd acetone (20 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at r.t. for 15–20 min and the reaction progress was monitored by TLC. The solvent was removed in vacuo resulting in a solid that was recrystallized from Et2O to yield the desired product 2. 1-(2-Oxo-4-styryl-1-p-tolylazetidin-3-yl)-3-phenylthiourea (2a): white solid; mp 156–157 °C. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 2.35 (s, 3 H, Me), 4.64 (dd, J = 4.8, 6.4 Hz, 1 H, H2), 4.92 (dd, J = 4.8, 7.2 Hz, 1 H, H1), 6.08 (dd, J = 6.4, 15.6 Hz, 1 H, H3), 6.61 (d, J = 15.6 Hz, 1 H, H4), 6.80–7.02 (m, 5 H, ArH), 7.06 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 2 H, ArH), 7.12 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 2 H, ArH), 7.16–7.32 (m, 5 H, ArH), 7.82 (d, J = 7.2 Hz, 1 H, NH, D2O exch.). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 20.6, 59.0, 63.4, 120.0, 123.3, 124.8, 125.5, 126.2, 127.3, 127.8, 128.1, 128.8, 129.6, 133.1, 134.9, 137.4, 139.4, 170.5, 178.1.
