Is it possible to differentiate between 2-phenylaminodihydro-1,3-thiazine from 2-phenyliminotetrahydro-1,3-thiazine by spectral methods? New glance to the old problem

Several studies have reported the presence of amine and imine tautomeric forms for hydrogenated 1,3-thiazine derivatives. However, identification of their tautomeric forms by UV, FTIR and mass-spectral methods does not yield expected results. Here, we report the synthesis of 2-phenylaminodihydro-1,3-thiazine and 2-phenyliminotetrahydro-1,3-thiazine and the analysis of their UV, FTIR and NMR (1H and 13C) spectral data. An identical picture of UV spectra was recorded for both compounds. However, distinctive characteristics were found in the FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR spectra. The C=N band of amine form was observed in higher frequency region relative to imine form. The signal of C2 carbon of amine form in 13C NMR spectrum was occurred in more downfield (δ 165.3 ppm) relative to C2 signal of imine form (δ 152.1 ppm). In addition, the difference between C2 and C8 carbon signals of amine form was very high (Δδ = 30.6 ppm) relative to imine form (δ 5.4 ppm). The position of C2 and C8 signals and the difference between them in 13C NMR spectrum was found to be more promising in identification of tautomeric forms in case of hydrogenated 1,3-thiazine derivatives.

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of N-alkoxyimidoyl fluorides by carbon nucleophiles

Nucleophilic substitutions of N-alkoxybenzoimidoyl fluorides [p-ClArC(F)=NOR; R = CH3, i-Pr] by enolate-type ions have been performed to produce compounds that can exist in two tautomeric forms: the imine form{p-ClArC(Y)=NOR [Y = CH(CN)2, CH(CN)(CO2Et), CH(CO2Et)2]}or the enamine form {p-ClArC(NHOR)=C(R1)(R2) [R1, R2 = CN, CO2Et]}. These compounds display varying ratios of imine–enamine tautomerizm in chloroform: the diester compound exists almost solely in the imine form, the dicyano compound exists solely in the enamine form, and the cyano-ester compound exists in both tautomeric forms. Comparison of the imine–enamine equilibrium in chloroform of the cyano-ester compound to an analogue where the p-ClAr group has been replaced by a methyl group reveals that the aromatic ring has a significant effect on the imine–enamine distribution. The former exists in both the imine and enamine form, while the latter exists solely in the enamine form. Complete NMR characterization data for the enamine form of CH3C(NHOCH3)=C(CN)(CO2Et) is also reported. The acidity of p-ClArC(NHOR)=C(CN)2 is demonstrated by a high degree of dissociation of the enamine proton in DMSO. Substitution reactions of p-ClArC(F)=NOi-Pr by Grignard reagents (PhMgBr, CH3MgBr, and PhCCMgBr) have also been performed to produce single geometric isomers of p-ClArC(Ph)=NOi-Pr, p-ClArC(CCPh)=NOi-Pr, and p-ClArC(CH3)=NOi-Pr. A modified synthesis of N-alkoxyimidoyl fluorides, which prevents a competing reaction of the product with the solvent, is reported.Key words: N-alkoxyimidoyl fluoride, enolate ion substitution, Grignard substitution, imine–enamine tautomerizm, carbon acid.

(E)-3-[(2-Bromophenyl)iminomethyl]benzene-1,2-diol

The title compound, C13H10BrNO2, crystallizes in an enol–imine form. The molecule is roughly planar, with a dihedral angle of 5.13 (10)° between the aromatic rings. Intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonding generates an S(6) ring motif, whereas intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonding links the molecules into centrosymmetric R 2 2(10) dimers.

Hydrazine Derivatives of β-Dicarbonyl Compounds, Part I. Studies on Some Benzoylacetaldehyde Aroylhydrazones

A series of benzoylacetaldehyde benzoylhydrazones were prepared and characterised. Their UV, IR, and 1H NMR spectra suggest the enol-imine structure rather than the keto-imine form of analogous Schiff bases. The pKa values of these aroylhydrazones were also measured and correlated with the Hammet substitution constants. Attempted cyclizations of these open-chain aroylhydrazones afforded the corresponding 5-hydroxy-2-pyrazoline compounds rather than the expected pyrazoles.

Vier- und fünfgliedrige Phosphorheterocyclen, V

P,P-Dimethyl-C-alkoxy-methylenamino-phosphines 7 react with electrophilic olefines 8 such as acrylic, crotonic, cinnamic acid derivatives and α,β-unsaturated ketones in a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and immediate elimination of alcohol to give the title compounds 10. 1H- and 31P-NMR data prove their structure and show the electronic interaction of the P=N and C=C ring fragments. Contrasting to pyrrole, where the cyclic π-system stabilises the enamine form, the prototropic equilibrium of its phospha analogues 10 is completely on the side of the imine form.
