Preface
The eight-volume Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (EROS), authored and edited by experts in the field, first published in 1995, provided mini-reviews describing the properties and reactions of approximately 3000 reagents. In 2002, the entire EROS collection with updates and additions was made available on the Internet under the acronym e-EROS. The second edition of the encyclopedia, EROS-II, was published in March 2009 containing the entire collection of reagents—4111 at the time of publication in a 14-volume set. While the comprehensive nature of EROS-II and the dynamic expansion of e-EROS render them invaluable as reference works, their very size limits their practicability in a laboratory environment. For this reason, a series of sharply targeted and inexpensive one-volume Handbooks of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (HROS) was introduced by the original editors of EROS in 1999:

Introduction
The synthetic power to create simple and elaborated heteroarene scaffolds has played a predominant role in driving natural product synthesis, pharmaceutical and agrochemical development, and materials science. Although many simple unsubstituted heteroarenes were first isolated from natural sources, most heteroaromatics are not naturally abundant and, therefore, effective synthetic tools are required to navigate heteroarene synthesis. As an example, pyridine can be isolated from coal tar; however, it can be more efficiently prepared on an industrial scale via the Chichibabin or other related name reactions. One can only think of all the synthetic processes that have been developed in the 1800s that have given rise to name reactions. For the last two centuries, chemists have devoted their efforts toward constructing diverse and powerful synthetic strategies to assemble heteroarenes. The vast library of name reactions targeting heteroaromatic synthesis is a testament to these laborious and heroic endeavors. For example, the Paal-Knorr pyrrole synthesis, the Fischer indole synthesis, the Hantzsch pyridine synthesis, and the Bischler–Napieralski isoquinoline synthesis represent only a few of the fundamental classical textbook reactions. In many instances, these methods involve cyclodehydration processes employing simple and versatile building blocks.
Despite the notable contributions to the heteroarene synthetic toolbox, many of these classical protocols necessitate harsh conditions and/or toxic and hazardous reagents. With the advent of transition metal catalysis, heteroarene synthesis has evolved to include catalytic, atom economical, and more sustainable reaction conditions, providing access to both well-established and novel heteroarenes. Such transition-metal-mediated strategies have forged innovative synthetic disconnections, have expanded the range of possible heteroarene precursors, and have improved functional group tolerance. At present, novel methodologies allow not only the production of known heteroarenes but also the specific incorporation of heteroatoms at their desired positions within novel structural cores.
The pharmaceutical industry continues to exploit the varied and unique properties present in the heteroaromatic spectrum toward designing new drug candidates. It is of no surprise that 60% of the 100 top-selling small-molecule drugs contain heteroarenes. Within US FDA approved drugs, pyridine is the second most frequently used nitrogen heterocycle, whereas thiazole and imidazole rank sixth and seventh, respectively. These striking statistics emphasize strong academic and industrial motivations to cultivate new, improved, cost-effective, and robust heteroaromatic synthetic reagents.
Nature has successfully integrated the heteroarene moiety within several highly complex heteroaryl-based natural products. For example, the important porphyrin motif has stimulated the advancement of synthetic methods to furnish highly substituted pyrroles of increasing complexity. Additionally, the indole core is prominently located in important indole alkaloids such as lysergic acid, vincristine, and cathenamine. In the last few decades, several de novo chemoselective heteroarene syntheses have been discovered and implemented to allow full control over substituent positions during heteroarene assembly. Finally, heteroarenes formulate integral parts of important ligand classes such as the pybox family, the N-heterocyclic carbene ligands, many chiral bis(heteroarylphosphine) ligands, and substituted phenanthrolines.
This handbook on heteroarene synthesis serves as a companion to the previous handbook, Reagents for Heteroarene Functionalization. Both handbooks are complementary and provide an extensive overview of the reagents currently available for heteroarene synthesis.
Given the structural diversity of both the heteroarenes and the synthetic reagents required, in addition to the magnitude and diversity of synthetic precursors, only representative reagents could be provided in the handbook.
As an example, a multicomponent preparation of pyridine using the Hantzsch reaction could easily involve up to three or four small building blocks (e.g., aldehyde, two ketoester units, ammonia source) that could be modified at will.
This handbook contains 57 new reagents and 42 updated reagents.
As an additional resource to the reader for finding relevant information, a listing of Recent Reviews and Monographs follows this section that are grouped by the type of heteroarenes.

Short Note on InChIs and InChIKeys
The IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI™) and its compressed form, the InChIKey, are strings of letters representing organic chemical structures that allow structure searching with a wide range of online search engines and databases such as Google and PubChem. While they are obviously an important development for online reference works, such as Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (e-EROS), readers of this volume may be surprised to find printed InChI and InChIKey information for each of the reagents.
We introduced InChI and InChIKey to e-EROS in autumn 2009, including the strings in all HTML and PDF files. While we wanted to ensure that all users of e-EROS, the second print edition of EROS, and all derivative handbooks would find the same information, we appreciate that the strings will be of little use to the readers of the print editions, unless they treat them simply as reminders that e-EROS now offers the convenience of InChIs and InChIKeys, allowing the online users to make best use of their browsers and perform searches in a wide range of media.
If you would like to know more about InChIs and InChIKeys, please go to the e-EROS website: www.wileyonlinelibrary.com/ref/eros and click on the InChI and InChIKey link.

Original Commentary
Introduction
Unsymmetrical oximes, like acetaldoxime, occur as a mixture of (E) and (Z) isomers across the carbon–nitrogen double bond (often referred to as syn and anti isomers, respectively). The position of the equilibrium changes with the conditions. A frequently reported equilibrium is situated around 40% (E) in the pure state and 46% (E) in aqueous acid,¹² but the position of the equilibrium is independent of the temperature and the concentration of the acid.¹³ (Z)-Acetaldoxime can be prepared by slow crystallization of a freshly distilled mixture of (E)/(Z) isomers. ¹³H NMR¹¹,¹⁴ and ¹³C NMR¹⁵ have been used to establish the (E)/(Z) configurations of oximes.
Acetylation of Arenes via Diazonium Salts
The reaction of acetaldoxime with aromatic diazonium salts affords oximes of acetophenones, which are hydrolyzed in acid medium to give aryl methyl ketones (eq 2).¹
(2)
α-Alkylation of Acetaldoxime
Deprotonation of acetaldoxime with 2 equiv of n-Butyllithium at −78 °C generates the dianion which reacts with Benzyl Bromide or 1-iodopropane to give excellent yields of α-alkylated (Z)-oximes (eqs 3 and 4).² α,α-Dialkylation by further alkylation in similar way has been achieved (eq 4).² It is generally known that ketone oximes can be deprotonated and alkylated regiospecifically syn to the oxime hydroxy group.¹⁶,¹⁷ It is essential to perform the deprotonation and alkylation at −78 °C as otherwise no α-alkylated oximes are isolated, the major byproducts being nitriles.¹⁶
(3)
(4)
Rearrangement into Acetamide
Heating of acetaldoxime in xylene in the presence of 0.2 mol % Nickel(II) Acetate³ or silica gel⁴ as catalyst caused isomerization into acetamide (eq 5).
(5)
Synthesis of Heterocycles
Chlorination of acetaldoxime with N-Chlorosuccinimide⁵ or Chlorine gas⁸,¹⁸ in chloroform affords acetohydroxamic acid chloride, which suffers dehydrochlorination with Triethylamine to give Acetonitrile N-Oxide. The latter 1,3-dipole undergoes 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to alkenes giving 2-isoxazolines in a one-pot procedure (eq 6).⁵ This reaction is also suitable for the construction of more complex molecules such as the conversion of a 6-ethylideneolivanic acid derivative into the corresponding spiroisoxazoline (eq 7).⁸
(6)
(7)
The cyclocondensation of acetaldoxime with biacetyl monooxime yields 1-hydroxy-2,4,5-trimethylimidazole 3-oxide,¹⁹ originally believed to be 4-hydroxy-3,4,6-trimethyl-1,2,5-oxadiazine.²⁰ The reaction is preferably performed in liquid sulfur dioxide in the presence of catalytic amounts of hydrogen chloride (eq 8),⁶ and works as well with other α-oximino ketones (eq 9).²¹
(8)
(9)
Upon reaction of acetaldehyde oxime with 2,2-dimethylthiirane, ring expansion to 3-hydroxy-2,5,5-trimethylthiazolidine occurs (eq 10).⁷
(10)
1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition
Acetaldoxime cycloadds very slowly to Methyl Acrylate and Acrylonitrile, giving 2∶1 adducts as mixtures of regioisomers and stereoisomers (eq 11).¹⁰ The palladium-catalyzed cycloaddition of the reagent to 1,3-butadiene yields an isoxazolidine via the intermediacy of a nitrone which undergoes 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (eq 12).⁹
(11)
(12)
Addition Reactions Across the Carbon–Nitrogen Double Bond
Cyanotrimethylsilane adds to acetaldoxime to give the cyanated adduct (eq 13),²² while allylboronates behave similarly to afford the adduct, which disproportionates and can subsequently be cleaved to the alkenic hydroxylamine (eq 14).²³
(13)
(14)
O-Functionalization
α-Bromo aldoximes are difficult to obtain. Direct α-bromination of aldoximes with a variety of brominating agents was not successful, but smooth bromination of the O-silylated derivative was accomplished (eq 15).²⁴ Functionalization at the oxygen atom has been accomplished with organogermanium²⁵ and organoarsenium²⁶ reagents (eq 16), while O-alkylation has been performed with the sodium salt of acetaldoxime and an α-bromo ketone.²⁷ Lithium Aluminum Hydride readily effected hydrogenolysis of the N—O bond to afford the corresponding 1,2-diol (eq 17).²⁷
(15)
(16)
(17)
Miscellaneous
Thermal decomposition of alkyl peresters or peroxides in H-donor solvents, e.g. cycloalkanes or ethers, in the presence of acetaldoxime afforded C-1 alkylated products.²⁸ The reaction involves carbon radical addition to the carbon–nitrogen double bond.
First Update
Acetylation of Arenes via Diazonium Salts
A diazotization/acylation sequence was used to furnish acetyl derivatives of aromatic acids (eq 18).²⁹
(18)
1.3-Dipolar Cycloaddition
The reactions of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxide generated from acetaldoxime with diverse alkenes result in the formation of 3-methyl-2-isoxazoline derivatives (eq 19).³⁰,³¹
(19)
Cascade reactions of oxime – nitrone – cycloaddition were developed.³² Nucleophilic addition of acetaldehyde oxime to cyclohexene in the presence of iodine affords intermediate salt as a single stereoisomer (eq 20).
(20)
The free base derived from the salt undergoes 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with N-methylmaleinimide (NMM) to give substituted dihydro-2H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]isoxazole as a single stereoisomer in 36% overall yield.
The tandem 1,3-azaprotio cyclotransfer–cycloaddition reaction between acetaldoxime and divinyl ketone affords a mixture of exo- and endo-isomers (3.4:1) of 7-methyl-1-aza-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-4-ones (eq 21).³³
(21)
The synthesis of 5-substituted 3-methylisoxazoles is possible from acetaldoxime and terminal acetylenic compounds (eq 22). The latter include propargyl chloride,³⁴ propargyl alcohols,³⁵–³⁷ propargyl carbamates,³⁸ tributylstannylacetylene,³⁹ and 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridines.⁴⁰
(22)
Synthesis of Heterocycles
Acetaldoxime was used to synthesize 3β-(substituted phenyl)-2β-isoxazol-5-yl-tropanes⁴¹ (eq 23) and 5-propyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole from the aliphatic α,β-unsaturated aldehyde in the presence of an anilinium salt catalyst (eq 24).⁴²
(23)
(24)
The reactions of tetracyanospirocyclopropane derivatives with acetaldehyde oxime give 2-amino-4-oxo-1,5-dicyano-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-ene-6-carboxylic acid (eq 25).⁴³
(25)
Functionalization
O-Functionalization of acetaldoxime was performed by 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether,⁴⁴ (2S)-N-methyl-2-chloromethylpyrrolidine,⁴⁵ vinyl glycidyl ether,⁴⁶ and 4-methylene-oxetan-2-one⁴⁷ (eq 26).
(26)
N-Alkylation of acetaldoxime with the formation of nitrone was used in the synthesis of N-hydroxy- and N-α-cyanoethyl-amino acid methyl esters via the so-called ‘acetaldoxime route’ (eq 27).⁴⁸
(27)
The authors⁴⁹ stated that in reactions of 5,5-dialkyl-2-bromo-6-hydroxy-5,6-dihydro-1H-pyridine-3,4,4-tricarbonitriles with acetaldehyde oxime, the electrophilic carbon atom in the axial cyano group on C4 favors the replacement of the hydroxy group according to a ‘push-pull’ mechanism resulting in conversion of the cyano group into a carbamoyl moiety (eq 28). The reactions occur under mild conditions, and no catalyst was necessary; either anhydrous acetaldehyde oxime or anhydrous acetonitrile can be used as solvent.
(28)
The direct chlorination of acetaldehyde oxime using equimolar N-chlorosuccinimide in DMF at 20–25°C afforded acetohydroximinoyl chloride.⁵⁰
Rearrangement to Acetamide
The mechanism of Beckmann rearrangement of (Z)- and(E)-acetaldoxime catalyzed by the Faujasite zeolite was investigated by both the quantum cluster and embedded cluster approaches at the B3LYP level of theory (eq 29).⁵¹
(29)
For the (Z)-acetaldehyde oxime, the rate-limiting step is the 1,2 H-shift step II while the rate-limiting step of (E)-acetaldehyde oxime could be either the 1,2 H-shift step or the rearrangement step III.
Transformations to Acetonitrile and Acetaldehyde
Acetaldoxime reacts with complex trans-[PtCl4(EtCN)2] to afford products of the addition of the aldoxime group across the CN triple bond (eq 30).⁵²
(30)
In CDCl3 solution, the imino complex undergoes the spontaneous imine ligand dissociation to afford the carboxamide complex trans-[PtCl4{NH=C(Et)OH}2] and acetonitrile, thus providing the first example of a ligand-mediated dehydration of aldoximes.
An efficient palladium-catalyzed protocol for the hydration of nitriles to amides with acetaldoxime has been developed (eq 31).⁵³ Acetaldoxime serves as an efficient water surrogate that delivers water to the substrate nitrile.
(31)
An equilibrium oxime–carbonyl transformation in silica gel-supported ionic liquid catalysts and water media was reported (eq 32).⁵⁴,⁵⁵
(32)
Reduction
Earlier reports reveal that catalytic transfer hydrogenation of oximes to amines had been achieved with systems such as ammonium formate/10% Pd/C⁵⁶ and cyclohexene/10% Pd/C.⁵⁷ But these systems require reaction times as long as 5–10 hours at reflux and expensive catalyst, and only afford low yields. Authors of the current work⁵⁸ reported a rapid, selective and simple reduction of acetaldoxime to ethylamine by using low cost magnesium powder and ammonium formate at room temperature (eq 33). The first example of reduction of acetaldoxime with triethylsilane into the ethylhydroxylamine was described⁵⁹ (eq 33).
(33)
Miscellaneous
Acid-promoted (E)/(Z)-isomerization of oximes in water was studied by means of theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of a simple derivative, acetaldoxime.⁶⁰ Authors have shown that (E)/(Z)-isomerization of acetaldoxime in aqueous solution should preferentially proceed by rotation around the oxime C—N bond with a concerted formation of a C(oxime) – O(water) bond that strongly stabilizes the system.
The results of experimental studies and ab initio calculations of the (Z)-CH3CH N-OH and (E)-CH3CH N-OH complexes with N2 are presented.⁶¹ Authors have noticed that the (Z)-acetaldoxime isomer shows stronger bonding ability to nitrogen than the (E)-isomer, which suggests that the O—H group of (Z)-isomer is more acidic than that of (E)-isomer.

(metalated dimethylhydrazones as anion equivalents are especially useful for regioselective alkylations¹,² and as precursors of unsymmetrical ketone hydrazones;¹,³ gem-dimethyl synthons in cycloaddition reactions⁴)
Physical Data: (1) n²²D 1.4607, colorless liquid, bp 124.125 °C; (2) mp 42°C, rhombic crystals, bp 163 °C/50mm Hg; (3) light yellow liquid, bp 94–95.5 °C (92–94 °C⁵).
Solubility: sol alcohol, ether, THF, CH2Cl2.
Analysis of Reagent Purity: (1) nitrogen evolution upon treatment with glacial acetic acid; acetone azine is a common impurity; (2, 3) IR or NMR spectroscopy.
Preparative Methods: (1) is best prepared by either of two methods: from the acetone azine⁷ or by an exchange reaction between Hydrazine and (3) in the presence of glacial acetic acid.⁶,⁸ Both methods give nearly quantitative yields of (1), but the latter method produces hydrazone without azine contamination. The general method for the preparation of phenylhydrazones can be applied to the synthesis of (2).¹a,⁹ Equimolar amounts of Acetone and Phenylhydrazine are refluxed gently in aqueous ethanol with catalytic amounts of glacial acetic acid. The phenylhydrazone separates out upon cooling and can be recrystallized from aqueous ethanol. The synthesis of (2) by reaction of acetone, ammonia, and aniline in the presence of water has also been reported.⁹b The dimethylhydrazone can be prepared in very high yield by a general procedure for ketones using anhydrous N,N-Dimethylhydrazine.⁶,⁸ Hydrazines should be handled with care because of their toxicity. Caution! Anhydrous hydrazine is also highly reactive with oxidizing agents; the syntheses should be carried out behind a protective screen, in a fume hood.
Handling, Storage, and Precautions: (1) usually prepared just before use; unstable in the pure liquid state; disproportionates slowly to hydrazine and acetone azine at rt. Use in a fume hood. It is claimed that simple hydrazones can be stored indefinitely with minimal deterioration in the absence of moisture in the solid state at low temperature.⁶ Azine formation is rapid in the presence of moisture. Regeneration of old samples is accomplished by heating the hydrazone at 100 °C for 12–16 h before distillation.⁷ Hydrazones (2) and (3) are relatively stable and can be stored for long periods of time without deterioration.
Hydrazone Oxidations
The reactions of ketone hydrazones depend largely on the degree and kind of substitution on the N-amino group. Hydrazone (1) (R¹ = R² = H) is most prone to oxidation. Oxidation of (1) in the presence of M ercury(II) Oxide or S ilver(I) Oxide and KOH serves as the easiest route to 2 -Diazopropane.¹⁰ The latter undergoes 1,3-cycloaddition reactions with electrophilic CC bonds to form substituted pyrazoles,¹¹ vinylic and epoxy quinones,¹² and pyrazolines.¹³ With D iphenylacetylene a pyrazole is formed that can be subsequently photolyzed to a conjugated alkynylcyclopropane.¹⁴ Thus (1), being a precursor of 2-diazopropane, serves as a potential source of gem-dimethyl groups in cycloaddition reactions.
Oxidative denitrogenation has also been accomplished by a variety of electrophilic reagents. With HgO/M ercury(II) Acetate, (1) forms an acetoxy adduct that yields 4-acetoxy-4-methylvaleronitrile upon reaction with A crylonitrile.¹⁵ In general, simple ketone hydrazones react with excess B enzeneselenenyl Bromide in the presence of a hindered guanidine base to afford phenyl vinyl selenide¹⁶ or with excess I odine in triethylamine–THF to afford vinyl iodides.¹⁷ 1-Alkenyl cobalt complexes are formed in the presence of a Co–dioxygen complex. Subsequent reduction by S odium Borohydride produces propene from (1) and cis alkenes from higher aliphatic ketone hydrazones.¹⁸
Phenylhydrazone (2) couples to form a C–N dimer as the oxidation product when treated with P otassium Permanganate in acetone. Upon heating, the dimer gives a vicinal bis(azo)alkane (eq 2).¹⁹
(1)
equationOxidation of (3) generally leads to CN bond cleavage and has been utilized most successfully to regenerate acetone and other ketones from their dialkylhydrazones. Oxidizing agents that are commonly used for this purpose include O zone at low temperature,²⁰a S odium Perborate, S odium Periodate, and H5IO6.²⁰ With S elenium(IV) Oxide, however, oxidation leads to α-carbonylation in high yield.²¹
Heterocycles
1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions involving hydrazones offer a very versatile means of synthesizing five-membered heterocyclic rings. Cycloadditions between (1) and nitrile oxides form oxadiazolines in modest yields.²² Cyclocondensation of benzoylhydrazinoacrylate from (1) affords aminoquinolonecarboxylates.²³ An alternative to the Piloty–Robinson pyrrole synthesis has been used by Baldwin²⁴ to prepare pyrroles from any enolizable aldehyde or ketone via azines synthesized from the corresponding hydrazones. The reaction is shown for (1) (eq 2).
(2)
equationThe Fischer indole synthesis provides an efficient route for the synthesis of indoles and related compounds from phenylhydrazones. Heating (2) in the presence of Z inc Chloride, F ormic Acid/H2SO4, formic acid/HCl, or modified alumina catalysts provides 2-methylindole in modest to high yields. Indole formation is favored when anhydrous acid catalysts are used at high temperature to promote formation of the ene-hydrazine intermediate (eq 3).²⁵,²⁶ In addition, β-lactams²⁷ and triazolinones²⁸ have also been synthesized from (2). Some cyclic diaza compounds containing other heteroatoms have been prepared from phenylhydrazones. Cycloaddition with thiocyanates or C arbon Disulfide leads to the formation of substituted thiadiazolidines (eq 4).²⁹ Treating (2) with P hosphorus(III) Chloride or AsCl3 results in the formation of diazaphosphole and diazaarsole in modest yields (eq 5).³⁰
(3)
equation(4)
equation(5)
equationWith (3) and other ketone dimethylhydrazones, formation of heterocycles occurs via annulation reactions of their condensation or alkylation products. The strategy involves either a Michael-type addition or 1,2-addition of the azaallyl anion of (3) to carbonyl compounds or esters followed by a ring closure step to afford dihydropyridines³¹ and substituted pyridines.³² 1-Pyrrolines have also been prepared in good yield by alkylation of the anion of (3) with ω-iodo azide followed by treatment with T riphenylphosphine (eq 6).³³
(6)
equationMetalation and Anion Formation
Hydrazones react with strong bases to deprotonate the amide NH as well as the α-carbon. Deprotonation usually occurs on the less substituted α-position. The anions thus formed are not isolated, but are used immediately in synthesis. N-Deprotonation proceeds smoothly and almost exclusively with equimolar amounts of NaH,²⁹,³⁴–³⁵ NaNH2 or KNH2 in liquid ammonia,³⁶ LDA at 0 ∘C, KDA, n-BuLi, or t-BuLi at −78 ∘C.³⁷–³⁹ Anions generated by hydride deprotonations of (2) have been used in N-alkylation reactions with alkyl halides³⁴ and in a cycloaddition reaction with phenyl isothiocyanate (eq 4).²⁹ Alternatively, equilibrium deprotonations using 50% aqueous NaOH with a phase-transfer catalyst or NaOH in DMF may be used to generate the azaanion in the presence of alkyl halides.³⁴,⁴⁰ The lithium anion of (2) can undergo N-sulfonation and is also used in the synthesis of siladiazacyclopentenes (eq 7).⁴¹,⁴²
(7)
equationCarbanions from (3) and N-deprotonated (1) and (2) are most commonly generated by reaction with an alkyllithium reagent at −78 ∘C or LDA at 0 ∘C using THF or THF/HMPA as solvents. KDA can also be used and has been preferred by some workers due to a more rapid reaction rate and a wider range of hydrazone substrates.³⁹ The azaallyl lithium and potassium reagents thus generated have limited thermal stability due to side reactions arising from addition to the sp² carbon.⁴³ Transmetalation of the azaallyl lithium anion of 3 with either CuI–Me2S³⁹,⁴⁴ or CuI–i-Pr2S³⁸ provides a route to the formation of the corresponding homocuprate derivative. The mixed cuprate is obtained if CuI thiophenoxide is used.³⁸b
Alkylations
Dimethylhydrazone (3) serves as a presursor of unsymmetrical ketone hydrazones via α-alkylation reactions involving allyl and alkyl halides, dihalides, tosylates, and epoxides. Compounds (4–10) are examples of compounds prepared from (3) and the appropriate alkylating agent. Most of the alkylation products serve as intermediates in the asymmetric synthesis of a wide variety of natural products, e.g. exogonol,⁴⁵ rutamycin antibiotics,⁴⁶ insect pheromones,⁵a,⁴⁷ lycopodium alkaloids,⁴⁸ homotropanes,⁴⁹ pyrenophorin,⁵⁰ zingeron,⁵¹ and the jasmonoids.⁵² The use of (3) is preferred over acetone in these reactions because the latter tends to undergo self-aldol condensation in the presence of base rather than C-alkylation. Alkylation occurs at the less substituted carbon of unsymmetrical derivatives of (3)³⁶ unless there is an anion stabilizing group present. A study by Rapoport showed a 50:1 preference for the monoalkylation product.⁴⁹a Other functional groups are not usually affected during alkylation or carbonyl regeneration. However, partial debenzylation or hydrolysis of the THP ether upon prolonged heating has been observed in Cu-catalyzed hydrolysis.⁴⁹
equationequationequationAlkylation also provides a method for synthesis of isotopically labeled hydrazones.⁵³ Use of allyl bromide and 4-bromo-1-butene furnishes unsaturated dimethylhydrazones that can be cleaved by ozonolysis to produce 1,4-and 1,5-keto aldehydes in good yields. These compounds are used in annulation reactions to produce medium-sized rings.⁵⁴
Condensation Reactions
Anions of (1) may undergo condensation reactions with carbonyl compounds and nitriles. Aldol-type condensations using trianions of simple hydrazones have been reported.¹⁹ The monolithium salt of (1) adds to acetonitrile and t-butyl chloride to yield an amidrazone which can then be cyclized to a triazoline (eq 8).⁵⁵
(8)
equationPhenylhydrazone (2) adds to acetyl isocyanate to give aryl-substituted triazolinones upon elimination of acetone (eq 9).⁵⁴ The azaallyl lithium reagent from (3) undergoes aldol-like reactions with carbonyl compounds to give high yields of β-hydroxyhydrazones. The strategy described by Corey and Enders³⁷ entails generation of the anion by BuLi, addition of the aldehyde or ketone to yield the β-hydroxy hydrazone, and oxidative cleavage using NaIO4 in methanol at pH 7 to regenerate the carbonyl compound. This approach has been applied to the synthesis of compounds 11–15 (yields are shown). Periodate does not affect the β-hydroxy groups in these compounds. Ester hydrazone (18) was used as an intermediate in the synthesis of α-pyrones (2H-pyran-2-ones).⁵⁶
(9)
equationequationA stereoselective aldol-type synthesis of (+)-S-[6]-gingerol (60% ee) was achieved via a chiral α-sulfinylhydrazone from an unsymmetrical ketone hydrazone derived from (3) (eq 10).⁵⁷,⁵⁸ This synthesis complements Ender's synthesis of (−)-R-[6]-gingerol (36% ee) via SAMP–hydrazone.⁵¹
(10)
equationIn the presence of α,β-unsaturated ketones, mixed and homocuprates of (3) undergo conjugate addition to form 1,5-ketohydrazones (16)–(18).³⁷,³⁸ Heathcock used the homocuprate to prepare a synthesis intermediate of lycopodine. However, Sakurai's method using methallyltrimethylsilane provided higher yields (90%) of the same compound.⁴⁷
An alternative route to β-keto hydrazones involves a Claisen-type condensation of 3 with N-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide (eq 11)⁵⁹a and a variety of acylating agents.⁵⁹b With carbon disulfide, lithium dimethylhydrazonoalkanedithioate is the initial product from which alkyl dithiolates can be prepared in good yields by reaction with various alkyl iodides.⁶⁰ The azaallyl potassium from 3 undergoes conjugate addition to vinyl sulfones. The adduct serves as an intermediate in annulation reactions for seven-membered rings.⁶¹
(11)
equationRemoval of the hydrazone group is often one of the steps in these reactions. Bergbreiter¹c gives a comprehensive list of oxidative and hydrolytic regeneration schemes for ketone and aldehyde hydrazones.
Other Reactions
Wolf–Kishner reduction of (1) to propane occurs in the presence of strong alkali at high temperature. Hydrogenation of (2) using Pd/C catalyst affords isopropylamine.⁶² Heating (2) in base results in its isomerization to methylphenyldiimide.⁶³ With difluoramine, N-fluoroketimine is produced in a vigorous reaction.⁶⁴ N-Acylation of (3) in the presence of various acid chlorides produces ene-hydrazides in high yields.⁶⁵
