N-Donor ligand activation of titanocene for the Biginelli reaction via the imine mechanism

The remarkable activation of stable titanocene dichloride (Cp₂TiCl₂) was achieved using N-donor ligand urea in an alcoholic solvent, leading to the formation of a Ti(iv) species [(MeO)₂Ti(NHCONH₂)]⁺, the existence of which was verified by ESI-MS, ESI-MS/MS, and NMR. Catalyzed by the newly formed Ti(iv) species, a myriad of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones were produced via a three-component Biginelli reaction. Further mechanistic investigation indicated that the Biginelli reaction had taken place via the imine route.

Solvent-Free Ring Cleavage Hydrazinolysis of Certain Biginelli Pyrimidines

Certain Biginelli pyrimidines with ester substitution in C5 were subjected to unexpected ring opening upon solvent-free reaction with hydrazine hydrate to give three products: pyrazole, arylidenehydrazines, and urea/thiourea, respectively. The nonisolable carbohydrazide intermediates are formed firstly followed by the intermolecular nucleophilic attack of terminal amino group of hydrazide function on sp2 C6 rather than the sp3 C4 to give the ring adduct which was produced as a final product.

Towards Enzyme-like, Sustainable Catalysis: Switchable, Highly Efficient Asymmetric Synthesis of Enantiopure Biginelli Dihydropyrimidinones or Hexahydropyrimidinones

Organocatalysts displaying a network of cooperative hydrogen bonds (NCHB) have been employed in an enzyme-like manner for a direct, switchable synthesis of enantiopure hexahydropyrimidinones (HHPMs) or dihydropyrimidinones (DHPMs), which starts at a common, easily accessible α-ureidosulfone stage.

A straightforward and truly practical entry to enantiopure HHPMs is reported for the first time.
