Synthesis and some transformations of methyl [4-(oxoacetyl)phenyl]carbamate

Resumo

The oxidation of methyl (4-acetylphenyl)carbamate with selenium dioxide in dioxane–water (30: 1) gave methyl [4-(oxoacetyl)phenyl]carbamate whose condensation with ethyl acetoacetate or diethyl malonate and hydrazine hydrate afforded ethyl 3-methyl-6-[4-(methoxycarbonylamino)phenyl]pyridazine-4-carboxylate and methyl {4-[5-(hydrazinecarbonyl)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridazin-3-yl]phenyl}carbamate, respectively. The reaction of methyl [4-(oxoacetyl)phenyl]carbamate with o-phenylenediamine in dimethylformamide–ethanol on heating led to the formation of methyl [4-(quinoxalin-2-yl)phenyl]carbamate. Methyl {4-(5,7-dioxo- 4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-3-yl)phenyl}carbamate and methyl {4-(5-oxo-7-sulfanylidene- 4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydropyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-3-yl)phenyl}carbamate were synthesized by reactions of methyl [4-(oxoacetyl)phenyl]carbamate with barbituric and thiobarbituric acids, respectively, and hydrazine hydrate in the presence of zirconyl chloride octahydrate at room temperature.
