Reactivity of Hydroxy and Amino Derivatives of 2-Phenyl-1 H -imidazoline and 2-Phenyl-1 H -imidazole toward Isocyanates: Synthesis of Appropriate Carbamates and Ureas (original) (raw)

Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, 2013

Abstract

ABSTRACT Reactivity of 2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐1H‐imidazoline and 2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐1H‐imidazole toward substituted phenyl isocyanates was studied. When mentioned imidazoline was treated with 2.5 equiv of substituted phenyl isocyanate, three N,O‐dicarboxamides were prepared (substituents are H, 4‐NO2, and 4‐CH3). Subsequently, N,O‐diacetylated 2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐1H‐imidazoline was prepared and selective deprotection method was developed for preparation of 1‐acetyl‐2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐1H‐imidazoline using diethylamine in acetone. Six carbamates derived from this imidazoline were then prepared using 1.1 equiv of substituted phenyl isocyanates (substituents are H, 4‐CH3, 4‐OCH3, 4‐NO2, 4‐CN, and 3‐CF3). Finally, two carbamates were prepared from 2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐1H‐imidazole (substituents are 4‐NO2 and 4‐CN). No reactivity to imidazole ring was observed in this case. Eight derivatives were subjected to antimycobacterial screening. Concurrently, reactivity of 2‐(2‐aminophenyl)‐ and 2‐(2‐ hydroxyphenyl)‐1H‐imidazole toward aliphatic and aromatic isocyanates was studied. Eight ureas were prepared using equivalent mixture of 2‐(2‐aminophenyl)‐1H‐imidazole and isocyanate (Et, Pr, isoPr, terc‐Bu, Cy, Ph, 4‐CH3C6H4, 4‐CNC6H4). Similar attempts to obtain related carbamates from 2‐(2‐ hydroxyphenyl)‐1H‐imidazole lead only to three substituted phenyl carbamates (substituents are 4‐CH3, 4‐NO2, and 4‐CN). In both cases, no reactivity to imidazole ring was observed again.
