Abstract:The hydrogenation of α-oximinoketones in methanol/HCl afforded α-aminoketones, which were applied without purification to the synthesis of 4-imidazolin-2-ones and 2-thiones, including chiral derivatives. The latter two series were obtained in high yields by a heteroannulation reaction of α-aminoketones with isocyanates and isothiocyanates, respectively. A double condensation of the α-aminoketones with two mol equivalents of the isocyanates produced a series of 4,5-dialkyl-N,3-diaryl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidaz… Show more
