Regioselective Syntheses of Functionalized 2-Aminopyridines and 2-Pyridinones through Nucleophile-Induced Ring Transformation Reactions [1]

Abstract

An efficient one-pot synthesis of 2-amino-6-aryl-4-­methylsulfanylpyridines and 6-aryl-3-cyano-4-methylsulfanyl-2(1H)-pyridinone has been illustrated through ring transformation of 6-aryl-3-cyano-4-methylsulfanyl-2H-pyran-2-ones by urea through different reaction conditions. Various solvents and bases were employed to selectively prepare either 2-aminopyridines or 2-pyridinones. In case of direct fusion of 2H-pyran-2-one with urea in solvent-free conditions, both the products were obtained in 1:1 ratio, while the reaction in pyridine at reflux temperature ex­clusively afforded 2-aminopyridine in 80-90% yield. The reaction of 6-aryl-3-carbomethoxy-4-methylsulfanyl-2H-pyran-2-ones with urea at 150 °C afforded 2-pyridinone derivatives in good yield (70-80%).

Key words

Synthesis of 2-Amino-6-aryl-4-methylsulfanyl-pyridines (2a-h) and 6-Aryl-3-cyano-4-methylsulfanyl-2 (1 H )-pyridinones (3a-h), General Procedure.
A mixture of 6-aryl-3-cyano-4-methylsulfanyl-2H-pyran-2-ones (1, 1 mmol) and urea (2.3 mmol) was fused at 150 °C for 5-15 min. After completion, the reaction was cooled to r.t. and H₂O was added (10 mL) to give the crude compound. The pure compounds were isolated on silica gel column, using CHCl₃-hexane (1:1) as eluent.
