2,3-Dimethyl-4-nitrophenyl isothiocyanate → 2-(2,3-Dimethyl-4-nitrophenylimino)-3-thia-1-azaspiro[4.4]nonane

Participants

Reaction Steps

2,3-Dimethyl-4-nitroaniline was synthesized as described in Method A4a. The aniline was converted into 2,3-dimethyl-4-nitrophenyl isothiocyanate as described in method A2d. 1-Amino-1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentane was synthesized as described in Method B1c. The 2-hydroxyethylamine was reacted with SOCl2 according to Method B7e to give 1-amino-1-(chloromethyl)cyclopentane HCl salt. The 2-chloroethylamine was reacted with 2,3-dimethyl-4-nitrophenyl isothiocyanate according to Method C1c to give 2-(2,3-dimethyl-4-nitrophenylimino)-3-thia-1-azaspiro[4.4]nonane. The thiazolidine was reacted with isobutyl bromide according to Method D2a to afford 1-isobutyl-2-(2-isopropyl-4-nitrophenylimino)-3-thia-1-azaspiro[4.4]nonane.
