Abstract
Active methylene β-oxo sulfones add to the C≡N bond of benzoylcyanamide in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ni(acac)2. Debenzoylation of the reaction products under the action of MeONa in MeOH gives N,N′-unsubstituted diaminomethylidene derivatives of β-oxo sulfones (acyl(R-sulfonyl)ketene aminals), which can be used as reagents for heterocyclic synthesis and as chelating ligands. The syntheses of 2-amino-3-arylsulfonylpyridin-4(1H)-ones and 5-sulfonylcytosine derivatives are presented as examples.
