Abstract

Reactions of 2-alkoxypropenals with α-hydroxyamino oximes in neutral medium involve the aldehyde group of the former to afford both acyclic and cyclic azomethine oxides: N-(2-hydroxyiminoalkyl)-N-(2-alkoxy-2-propenylidene)amine oxides and 1-hydroxy-2,5-dihydroimidazole 3-oxides. The state of tautomeric equilibrium between the cyclic and acyclic products depends on the solvent nature and temperature. The reaction in acidic aqueous medium is accompanied by hydrolysis of the vinyl ether moiety in 2-alkoxy-propenals with formation of 2-oxopropionaldehyde which reacts with α-hydroxyamino oxime at the hydroxy-amino group to give substituted pyrazine 1,4-dioxides. The reaction of 2-alkoxypropenals with 1,2-bis-(hydroxyamino)cyclohexane leads to formation of 2-(1-alkoxyvinyl)-1,3-dihydroxyperhydrobenzimidazoles. The structure of the products was proved by IR, UV, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis.
