Reactions of N-(2,2-dichloro-1-cyanoethenyl)-N′-methyl(phenyl)ureas with aliphatic amines

Resumo

Novel derivatives of 3,3-dichloroprop-2-enenitrile containing methylurea or phenylurea fragments have been synthesized. The obtained N-(2,2-dichloro-1-cyanoethenyl)-N′-methyl(phenyl)ureas undergo intramolecular cyclization in the presence of triethylamine to form 4-(dichloromethylidene)-5-imino-1-methyl (phenyl)imidazolidin-2-ones. Reactions of N-(2,2-dichloro-1-cyanoethenyl)-N′-methylurea with aliphatic amines have afforded 4-(alkylamino)-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-imino-1-methylimidazolidin-2-ones.
