Diaminomaleonitrile as a versatile building block for the synthesis of 4,4′-biimidazolidinylidenes and 4,4′-bithiazolidinylidenes
Keyword(s):
Abstract Ring closure reactions of diaminomaleonitrile (DAMN) with electrophilic aryl isocyanates and aryl isothiocyanates lead to the formation of the target 5,5′-diimino-1,1′-diaryl-4,4′-biimidazolidinylidene-2,2′-diones 2a,b and 2,2′-diarylimino-4,4′-bithiazolidinylidenes 4a–e, respectively. The protocol provides a new strategy for the synthesis of a wide range of alkenes with two electron-donating and two withdrawing substituents of DAMN in moderate to good yields.
