A new method is presented for the preparation of 1,2-disubstitued-1H-imidazole-5-carboxaldehydes by the reaction of N-monosubstituted amidines with 2-halo-3-alkoxy-2-propenals. The reaction is highly regioselective with ratios of 1,2,5:1,2,4-imidazolecarboxaldehydes ranging from 85:15 to 100:0. This methodology could be extended with similar results to the synthesis of imidazole-5-nitriles by the reaction of 2-bromo-3-methoxy-2-propenenitrile with N-monosubstituted amidines.

Here we report the modular synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles using two highly chemoselective reactions, ligations of -fluorosulfurylamidines with amines and diazotransfer reactions between FSON and -monosubstituted amidines, respectively. Enabled by sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) click chemistry, we have successfully synthesized a series of -fluorosulfurylamidines and identified them as stable and scalable organic synthons. We then discover that -fluorosulfurylamidines react selectively toward a series of aliphatic amines, resulting in the formation of -monosubstituted amidines that can react further with FSON to deliver 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles.

A novel and efficient base-catalyzed, transition-metal-free method for the synthesis of diheterocyclic compounds connected by an amidine linker, including apart from the common 1,2,3-triazole ring, either an additional pyrimidinedione, 4-nitroimidazole, isoxazole, 1,3,4-triazole, 2-oxochromone or thiazole ring, has been developed. The process was facilitated by a strong base and includes the cycloaddition reaction of 3,3-diaminoacrylonitriles (2-cyanoacetamidines) to heterocyclic azides followed by a Cornforth-type rearrangement to the final products. The reaction is tolerant to various -monosubstituted 3,3-diaminoacrylonitriles and to different heterocyclic azides.

An efficient base-catalyzed, metal-free method for the synthesis of 5-amino-1,2,3-triazole-4--sulfonyl- and arylimidamides, directed by the structure of the amidine group, has been developed. It is based on a previously unknown tandem process involving cycloaddition reaction to 3,3-diaminoacrylonitriles (2-cyanoacetamidines) with aryl(alkyl)sulfonyl or aryl azides and Cornforth-type rearrangement. During the reaction optimization, different factors were found to facilitate the title reaction, which include the use of a strong base and -mono- or ,'-disubstituted 3,3-diaminoacrylonitriles.

The palladium-catalyzed reaction of α-haloketones with isocyanides afforded α-oxo-ketenimines through β-hydride elimination of the β-oxo-imidoyl palladium intermediates. Reaction of these relatively stable α-oxo-ketenimines with nucleophiles such as hydrazines, hydrazoic acid, amines, and Grignard reagent afforded pyrazoles, tetrazole, β-keto amidines, and enaminone, respectively, with high chemoselectivity. Whereas amines attack exclusively on the ketenimine functions, the formal [3+2] cycloaddition between N-monosubstituted hydrazines and α-oxo-ketenimines was initiated by nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group.

A Pd-catalyzed and ligand-free carbonylation/cycloaddition/decarboxylation cascade synthesis of sulfonyl amidines from sulfonyl azides and substituted amides at low CO pressure is reported. The reaction proceeds via an initial Pd-catalyzed carbonylative generation of sulfonyl isocyanates from sulfonyl azides, followed by a [2 + 2] cycloaddition with amides and subsequent decarboxylation, which liberates the desired sulfonyl amidines, generating N and CO as the only reaction byproducts. Using this simple protocol, a diverse range of sulfonyl amidines was obtained in moderate to excellent yields.
