Abstract. The reaction of diethyl [( 1 -isocyano-2,2-dichloro)- ethenyllphosphonate (1) with mono- and bifunctional aliphatic and aromatic amines and thiols has been studied. Because 1 is a push-pull olefine, a nucleophilic attack can take place at the halide-substituted carbon atom. On the other hand, 1 possesses with the isocyano group a further reactive centre, which is able to undergo typical isocyanide reactions. With secondary and ethylene-bridged bifunctional nucleophiles the substitution of

the chloro atoms of 1 furnishes ketene N,N-, N,S- and S,S-acet- als (8, 12, 14). By treating 1 with primary amines imidazoles 6 are obtained, an a-addition of an amino function to an isocyano group under mild conditions being involved. The isocyano-sub- stituted cyclic ketene N,N-acetal 12 a inserts acceptor-substi- tuted isocyanides forming the fused pyrazines 18. The structure of 18 a is corroborated by X-ray crystal structure analysis.

Phosphorylated imidazoles and fused imidazole deriva- tives have been of growing interest in the last years be- cause of their structural analogy with physiologically ac- tive substances [2]. Recently we have published the rearrangement of l-formylimino-2,2,2-trichloroethane- phosphonate to 2,2-dichloro- 1 -isocyanoethenylphospho- nate (1) via the formimide chloride intermediate [3].

Compound 1 is an ambivalent push-pull olefine. Not only the isocyano group of 1 can undergo the typical iso- cyanide reactions [4], but also the C(2)-atom is accessible to nucleophilic attacks, as shown in previous communi- cations [5, 61. With suitable bifunctional reagents it should be possible to involve both the carbon atoms. Hence, we were interested in using 1 as a synthon for new phosphorylated heterocycles.

We found a more convenient method of preparing 1- isocyano-2,2-dichloroethenylphosphonate (1) in 85 % yield by reaction of phosphono-trichloroethaneforma- mide (2) with phosphorus pentachloride and subsequent addition of a base (Scheme 1).

With halogens and hydrazoic acid, 1 shows the typical behaviour of an isocyanide and reacts to the carbonimi- dic dihalides 4 a, b and the tetrazole 5 (Scheme 2).

Scheme 2

With primary amines, the isocyanide 1 undergoes cycli- zation to the 4-phosphono-5-amino-imidazoles (6) at 0 - 20°C (Scheme 3) . To form these rings the nucleophilic attack on the C(2)- atom of 1 is followed by an a-addition of one enamino group to the isocyano carbon atom. This is remarkable because a-additions of amines have only been described so far using catalysts (e. g. Cu, Ag, Hg salts) and higher

temperatures [7, 81. The reason for the facile imidazole formation could be the high electron density on the iso- cyano carbon atom owing to the push-pull system.

With secondary amines, 1 gives the ketene N,N-acetals 8 a, b via successive nucleophilic substitution (Scheme 4). In contrast to the above-mentioned reaction pattern of primary amines, it is possible to obtain and character- ize the monoamino derivatives 7 a, b as crude products.

Scheme 4

Attempts to purify 7 a, b by silica gel column chromato- graphy (acetonehexme) led to the Passerini reaction pro- ducts 9 a, b. The acid centres of silicagel support the enolization of acetone which forms with 7 a, b the oxa- zoles 9 a, b. Toluenesulphonic acid as catalyst shows the same effect. 7 a reacts with methylamine in the same manner as described above affording the imidazole 10. Acid hydrolization of the ketene N,N-acetals 8 leads to the known oxazole 11 151 via the intermediate formamide.

Similar to secondary amines, 1 reacts with ethanethiol and ethylene-bridged bifunctional nucleophiles (Scheme 5) . So iiucleophilic displacement on the C(2)-atom with- out changing the isocyano group could be observed with ethylendiamine (12 a), cysteamine (12 b), ethanedithiol (12 c) and ethanethiol (14). The isocyanide 12 a was char- acterized by its reaction with hydrazoic acid to the tetra- zole 13. In contrast to the ethylenediamine substitution, the use of propylendiamine as nucleophilic agent resulted in a subsequent a-addition reaction forming the fused

imidazole 16. Compound 12 a did not form a similar bi- cyclus as presumed for sterical reasons.

Scheme 5

The ketene dithioacetall4 reacts with amines exclusively on the isocyano moiety to afford the methanimidamides 15 a, b. A displacement of the alkylthio by amino substi- tuents, as known from bisphosphono-ketene dithioacetals [9, lo], was not observed and the C(2)-atom of 12 is less reactive towards amines than the isocyano carbon atom. The dichloro-substituted isocyanide 1 shows the reverse reactivity. That emphasized that the approach to phos- phono-substituted imidazoles 6 is only possible from 1.

A very surprising result was observed by the reaction of 1 with ethylenediamine under PTC conditions (CH2CI2/aqueous NaOH/TEBA). In the "P-NMR spec- trum of the reaction solution, beside the signal of 12 a with 6 = 20.0 ppm a new one appeared with 6 = 15.8 ppm.

Scheme 6

After column chromatography we isolated the fused di- hydropyrazine 18 a (Scheme 6). This is a new kind of phosphono-substituted heterocycles, only pteridines phosphorylated in 6-position have been published so far 1111.

The formation of 18 a can be explained by the reaction of 12 a with 2,2-dichloroethenyl isocyanide which yields from unreacted 1 by basic hydrolysis owing to the reac-

tion conditions. The first reaction step is the linkage of both the isocyanide carbon atoms to a diazaallene inter- mediate 17 a, which is attacked in the second step by the NH group of the imidazolidine ring to form the bicyclus. Dimerization of isocyanides including C-C linkages has already been published [ 121. However, to our knowledge this cyclization is the first example for the reaction of two different isocyanides with an amino or enamino group. We assume that the reason for the formation of 18 is the push-pull character of the isocyanide 12 a. It has a high electron density on its isocyano carbon atom and so it can be connected with an electron-deficient one of an acceptor-substituted isocyanide. We could obtain the analogous compounds 18 b, c from 12 a with the ac- ceptor-substituted 2,2-dichloro- 1 -isocyanoethenylphos- phonate and toluolsulfonyl-methylisocyanide, respec- tively. Experiments with cyclohexyl isocyanide and 2- (4-morpholinyl)-ethyl isocyanide failed.

It is interesting that the bicyclus 18 b is stable against hydrolysis. The elimination of the phosphono group from the side chain of 18 b failed and so did the conversion of 18 b into 18 a. That means that two competitive reactions must have taken place by treating 1 with ethylendiamine, P-C splitting and nucleophilic displacement, forming 2,2- dichloroethenyl isocyanide and 12 a, respectively. Unfor- tunately, we could not prove this reaction mechanism,

because it was neither possible to detect nor to prepare the unknown 2,2-dichloroethenyl isocyanide.

The structure of 18 a was corroborated by an X-ray crystal structure analysis [ 141. An ORTEP drawing [13] of the molecule is shown in Figure 1. Some bonds (Cll-C6,02-C9,03-C11, C9-CI0, Cl l -Cl2) are shor- tened due to high thermal motion of the corresponding atoms. The P atom is coordinated with three oxygen atoms and the carbon atom C3 thus forming a slightly disordered tetrahedron. The average derivations of the atoms from the least-squares planes of the rive- and six-membered ring are 0.026(4)A and 0.041 (4)A, respec- tively. The dihedral angle between these two rings amounts to 3.4(9)". The atoms 0 1 and N4 are included in an intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bond. The para- meters ot the bifurcated hydrogen bonds are: 01 .." = 2.899(5)A, 01 ... HN4 = 2.43 (5 )0 A,& 01 ... HN4-N4 = 117(4)"; 0 1 ... N4" = 2.892(5)A; 01 ... HN4*-N4* = 2.21(5)A; 4 01 ... HN4*-N4* = 140(4)", * = ( 2 - ~ , l-y, 1 -z).

Experimental

'H NMR spectra were recorded with a TESLA BS 587 A using CDC13 as solvent and HMDS as internal standard. I3C NMR and 3'P NMR spectra were obtained on a Varian Gemini 300 (I3C, internal standard TMS; "P, external standard 85 % H3P04). 'H and "C NMR signals of the phosphono ester groups are not reported. Column chromatography separations (pressure 4.7 kPa) were performed by using Merck silica gel 60 (0.040- 0.063 mm). TLC analyses were done on Silufol (silica gel) pre- coated alumina plates and the spots were visualized by charring with 1 % ethanolic solution of molybdatophosphoric acid and warming the plates.

X-ray structure analysis of (I8 a) 1141

Ayellow crystal with approximate dimensions of 0.30 x 0.33 x 0.28 mm' was chosen for difractometer studies. Measurements of intensities were performed at room temperature on an auto- matic four-circle diffractometer (Enraf-Nonius CAD 4) by the 0-20 scan technique. Graphite-monochromatized MoKa (h = 0.71073 A) radiation was used. The cell dimensions were determined by least-squares refinement employing the setting angles of 25 reflections in the region 10.1"<@< 17.6". The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = lO.lOl(l), b = 10.705(5), c = 8.048(2)A, a = 105.09(3), p = 95.53(1), y = 82.33(2)". A total of 3090 reflections was measured in the region 1.5" <@< 25" (h- 12+12,k 0-+12,1-97-9). The data were corrected for Lorentz and polarisation effects. The structure was solved by MULTAN 11/82 [ 151, Fourier methods and refined using least-squares procedures which minimized the function Cw(AF)'. The ap- plied weighting scheme was w(F) = l/02(F). Extinction correc- tion was applied. 228 parameters were refined. Full matrix least-squares refinement of the atomic positions and the aniso- tropic temperature factors for the non-H atoms and isotropic temperature factors for some H atoms located by difference Fourier synthesis reduced R to 0.056 (wR to 0.079) for 2054 reflections with Fo>30(Fo).
