Abstract

A novel one-pot rearrangement reaction, involving sequential epoxide rearrangement, condensation, cyclization and phenyl migration took place when 2,3-epoxydiphenyl ketones were treated with guanidine hydrochloride or urea in the presence of a base like sodium hydride and new type of imidazolone derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields.

Key words

one-pot - epoxydiphenyl ketones - rearrangement - guanidine - imidazolone

General Procedure for Preparation for 3,5-Disubstituted Imidazolones: Typical experimental procedure for synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted imidazolones as exemplified for 2a. Guanidine hydrochloride (95.5 mg, 1 mmol) was added to a solution of 2,3-epoxydiphenyl ketone (334 mg, 1 mmol) in anhyd THF (10 mL). To this was added NaH (48 mg, 2 mmol) at r.t. After 30 min, the reaction mixture was stirred at reflux temperature for 5 h; TLC analysis indicated that the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was filtered, solvent was removed by rotatory evaporator and the residue passed through a silica gel column (CHCl₃-MeOH) afforded 2a (315 mg, 72%) as a white solid; mp 281-284 °C. ¹H NMR (600 MHz, DMSO-d ₆): δ = 2.97 (d, J = 13.2 Hz, 1 H), 3.11 (d, J = 13.2 Hz, 1 H), 3.57 (s, 3 H, OCH₃), 3.65 (s, 6 H, 2 × OCH₃), 3.72 (s, 3 H, OCH₃), 6.41 (s, 2 H), 6.89 (d, J = 9.0 Hz, 2 H), 7.42 (d, J = 9.0 Hz, 2 H), 8.34 (s, 1 H). ¹³C NMR (125 MHz, DMSO-d ₆): δ = 44.8, 55.8 56.3, 60.6, 70.6 108.2, 114.0, 127.4, 132.4, 33.8, 136.7, 152.6, 158.9, 171.2, 189.0.
