GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract 5-Amino-4-cyano-2-ethoxycarbonylaminothiazole (2), 2-ethoxycarbonylami-

nothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine-7(6H)-one (4), and 5-ethoxymethyleneamino-4-cyano-

2-ethoxycarbonylaminothiazole-4-carboxamide (9) were synthesized from 5-amino-2-

ethoxycarbonylaminothiazole-4-carboxamide (1). Unlike simple 5-aminothiazoles, 1 and

2 did not undergo rearrangement in hot aqueous alkali, because of the role of their 2-ethox-

ycarbonylamino substituents. Thermogravimetric experiments on 1, 2, 4, and 9 revealed

routine elimination of ethanol molecule from the NHCO 2C2H5 substituent of 1, 2, 4,

and 9.

reports of 5-amino- and 5-azathiazole compounds as adenosine receptor antago-nists[1] and as tyrosine kinase inhibitors,[2] to show in vitro antitumor activity,[3]

and as drugs for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and impared glucose-tolerance.[4]

Thiazole compounds with amino group(s) at the C-2=C-5 position(s) are conspicu-ous for ring-transformation reactions.[5–7] In an early successful base-catalyzedring-transformation, Cook and his coworkers[5] converted 5-amino-4-phenyl-2-mer-captothiazole to 4-phenyl-5-mercaptoimidazole-2(1H, 3H)-thione. Ethanolic sodiumethoxide–induced transformation of 5-amino-3-methyl-4-ethoxycarbonylthiazoliumtosylate to ethyl 1-methyl-4-mercaptoimidazole-5-carboxylate has been reported tooccur in good yields.[6] A general synthesis of 5-amino-2-thioimidazole compounds by base-catalyzed rearrangement of 5-amino-2-substitute-daminothiazole compounds has also been developed.[7] These transformationscorrespond to the addition of nucleophile–ring opening–ring closure (ANRORC)sequence.

Thiazole ring with amino substituent(s) at C-2=C-4 is prone to showANRORC activity under basic reaction conditions. Reaction of 2-amino-2-cyanoa-cetamide with x-diethylaminoalkyl isothiocyanate, under reflux in ethyl acetate, gavethe desired product 5-amino-2-mercapto-1-(x-diethylaminoalkyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide.[8] The ring closure of the open-chain intermediate thiourea com-pound is driven in this direction because of the basic nature of the reactionmedium offered by the tertiary amino center present in the x-dialkylaminoalkylsubstituent.

In connection with the ongoing work on thiazoles in our laboratory,[9] webecame interested in investigating the aminothiazole system, which would notrearrange under basic reaction conditions. To this end, we surmised synthesizingthe 5-aminothiazoles bearing C-2 substituents with labile hydrogen; this C-2 sub-stituent would react with aqueous sodium hydroxide to form an anion and wouldresist ANRORC activity. We herein report the synthesis of some 2-ethoxycarbony-lamino-5-aminothiazole and related compounds, their unique stability in aqueousalkaline medium, and their thermogravimetric (TG) studies.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Following a published procedure,[10] 2-amino-2-cyanoacetamide was heatedwith N-ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate in refluxing ethyl acetate to get 5-amino-2-ethoxycarbonylaminothiazole-4-carboxamide (1) in excellent yield (92.3%)(Scheme 1). The 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) spectral analysis revealed that methyl and

methylene signals appeared at dH 1.18 and 4.10 respectively. Also, the 13C NMR(DMSO-d6) spectrum analyses revealed that the corresponding carbon signalsappeared at dc 14.45 and 61.47 respectively. In its TG experiment, the compound1 suffered 20.19% loss of mass at �232 �C, corresponding to removal of one ethanolmolecule.

Heating 1 under reflux with an excess of thionyl chloride for 3.5 h, followed byremoval of remaining thionyl chloride under reduced pressure and basification of theresidue with cold aqueous sodium carbonate solution, furnished 5-amino-4-cyano-2-ethoxycarbonylaminothiazole (2) in 71% yield (Scheme 2). The product showedstrong absorptions at 2206.8 (C�N) and 1699.0 (C=O) cm�1 in its infrared (IR;n cm�1, KBr) spectrum. In its 1H NMR and 13C NMR (DMSO-d6) spectra, methyland methylene proton signals were observed at dH 1.18 and 4.10 respectively andtheir carbon signals were observed at dc 14.40 and 61.71 respectively. In the TGexperiment, 2 suffered 23.55% loss of mass at �228 �C, corresponding to removalof one ethanol molecule.

Effect of Refluxing Triethyl Orthoformate on 1, 2, and 5-Amino-1-(x-diethylaminoalkyl)imidazole-4-carboxamides (5, 7)

For the purpose of investigating whether 2-ethoxycarbonylaminothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine-7(6H)-one (4) would respond to similar elimination of ethanol in its TGexperiment, 4 was prepared by heating 1 under reflux with an excess of triethylorthoformate (in the absence of any catalyst, added from outside) in 81% yield(Scheme 2). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) spectrum analysis revealed that the signals ofH-5 methine and the CH2 and CH3 of the CO2C2H5 moiety appeared at dH 8.40,4.05, and 1.18 respectively. Also, the 13C NMR (DMSO-d6) spectrum analysesrevealed that the corresponding carbon signals appeared at dc159.34, 61.40, and

14.40, respectively. The intermediate product, 5-ethoxymethylenethiazole compound(3), was not isolated as the final product of this uncatalyzed reaction. Unlike this,similar refluxing of 5-amino-1-(3-diethylaminopropyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (5)in excess triethyl orthoformate furnished 5-ethoxymethyleneamino-1-(3-diethyl-aminopropyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (6) and refluxing of 5-amino-1-(2-diethyl-aminoethyl)imidazole-1-carboxamide (7) in excess triethyl orthoformate yielded5-ethoxymethyleneamino-1-(2-diethylaminoethyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (8)(Scheme 3). These reactions, performed with imidazole compounds in absence ofany catalyst, could not close the pyrimidine ring. In its TG experiment, it wasobserved that 4 had suffered 21.87% loss of mass at �327 �C, corresponding to a lossof one ethanol molecule.

Refluxing 2 with an excess of triethyl orthoformate for 2 h furnished 5-ethoxymethyleneamino-4-cyano-2-ethoxycarbonylaminothiazole (9) in 85% yield(Scheme 3). It showed strong absorptions at 2231.1 (C�N) and 1722.9 (C=O)cm�1 in its IR (n cm�1, KBr) spectrum. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) spectrum analysisrevealed that two methylene proton signals of =CHOCH2CH3 and �COOCH2CH3

appeared as quartets at dH 4.21 and 4.16 respectively, the methyl proton signals app-eared as two overlapped triplets at �dH 1.24, and the methine proton signal appearedat dH 8.37. Also, the 13C NMR (DMSO-d6) spectrum analyses revealed that the meth-ine carbon signal appeared at dc 161.64, two methylene carbon signals appeared at dc62.59 and 62.54, and two methyl carbon signals appeared at dc 14.38 and 14.69; thequaternary C-5, C-4, and C-2 signals appeared at dc 157.61, 104.98, and 144.47respectively. This shows the deshielding effect of EtO-CH=N-substituent at C-5 onthe C-5, C-4, and C-2 signals; this can be compared with the effect of 5-NH2

on C-5, C-4, and C-2 in case of 2, where the signals appear at dc 153.92, 95.40,and 144.19 respectively. In its TG experiment it was observed that 9 hadsuffered 34.24% loss of mass at �212 �C, corresponding to a loss of two ethanolmolecules.

Stability of 1 and 2 in Hot Aqueous Alkaline Solution

Compound 1 dissolved in dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide (1.0N) and the sol-ution, after being heated under reflux for 20min, gave back 1 almost quantitatively(�99%) on cooling and acidification with dilute hydrochloric acid.

Similarly, 2 dissolved in cold aqueous sodium hydroxide (1.0N), survivedwarming at 70 �C for 5min, and was recovered unchanged almost quantitatively(�95%) on acidification with cold aqueous hydrochloric acid.

It appears that in alkaline solution the thiazole ring of the anion of 1, and boththe thiazole ring and the cyano group of the anion of 2, can resist any change by theaction of warm alkali because the anions attain stability as shown in Scheme 4.

Thermogravimetric Studies of 1, 2, 4, and 9

Although TG studies have been extensively employed in the field of inorganicchemistry since 1950 and later in the fields of polymer, clays, and mineral chemistry,there are very few reports of its application in the field of organic molecules. Onlyrecently have there been some reports of TG analysis in the fields of organic explo-sives,[11] organic ionic liquids,[12] and a-amino acids.[13] Some work has been reportedon biochemically important heterocyclic compounds[14] and in other importantareas.[15] Because TG studies have been successfully applied to hydrate compoundsof inorganic origin, it was envisaged that a compound with the �NHCO2C2H5

group attached to the C-2 of thiazole ring could respond to characteristic irreversibleelimination of ethanol molecule.

Thermogravimetric studies on 1, 2, 4, and 9 were carried out in a MettlerToledo TGA=SDTA 851 thermal analyzer, in a dynamic atmosphere of dinitrogen(flow rate: 30 cm3min�1) and was programmed with a linear increase of temperatureby 5 �C per min.

5-Ethoxymethyleneamino-4-cyano-2-ethoxycarbonylaminothiazole (9) under-went a loss of 34.24% at �212 �C corresponding to a loss of 2mol of ethanol(theoretical loss 34.33%) (Fig. 4).

A comparision of IR (KBr) absorptions of 1, 2, 4, and 9 with those of therespective residues of TG experiment is given in Table 1. This indicates complete lossof ethanol from the molecules at the characteristic thermal conditions. Additionally,in the 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) spectra of the residues of TG experiments of 1, 2, 4, and9, diagnostic absences of signals at dH 4.0–4.3 and at dH 1.0–1.3 (indicating absenceof CH2 and CH3 respectively of any �OCH2CH3 group) have been observed. Thissupports the view that there has been irreversible loss of ethanol molecule(s) duringthe TG experiments of 1, 2, 4, and 9.

EXPERIMENTAL

The melting points are uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded as KBr pellets ona Perkin-Elmer 782 spectrophotometer. The 1H NMR spectra in DMSO–d6 were runon a Bruker AM-300L instrument operating at 300MHz, and 13C NMR spectrawere run in DMSO–d6 on the same instrument operating at 75.47MHz. The chemi-cal shifts for proton and carbon-13 NMR data are expressed as dH and dC respect-ively. The degrees of proton attachment of the carbons were verified by distortionlessenhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT-135) sequence.

Synthesis of 5-Amino-2-ethoxycarbonylaminothiazole-4-carboxamide (1)

A solution of ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate (6.6 g, 0.05mol) was added in oneportion to a solution of 2-amino-2-cyanoacetamide (5.0 g, 0.05mol) in boiling ethylacetate (400mL), and the mixture was heated under reflux for 3h when shining whitecrystals appeared and slowly grew in quantity. The reaction mixture was then cooledin an ice-water bath, and the product was filtered, washed with cold ethyl acetate,and recrystallized from ethanol to get the title compound.
