โœฆ Synopsis


2-Amino-4-methyloxazole gives 5-substituted products when treated with aldehydes instead of expected Schiff bases. Reactions of aldehydes and amines, including heterocyclic amines, are generally straight forward and give the expected imines or Schiff bases1'2'3. However, when an equimolar ratio of 2-amino-4-methyloxazole(1) and anisaldehyde was heated in dry toluene, no Schiff base was formed. Instead the sole product of this reaction was colourless crystalline solid (mp 150-151'C) formed in 77% yield. Elemental analysis and mass spectrum (MW234) confirmed that product had a molecular composition C,,H,,N,O, rather than C,, H N 0 (for expected Schiff base). It was 12 2

Chiral allyltitaniums having an amino substituent at the C-4 position are prepared from optically active allylic alcohol derivatives I and a Ti(O-i-Pr)4/2i-PrMgCl reagent, which, in turn, react with aldehydes regio-and stereoselectively to afford 3-amino-2-vinylalkanols in excellent yields.
