The base-switched annuloselectivity, namely [2 + 2] and [2 + 2 + 2] selectivity, in the reactions of ethyl malonyl chloride and imines is successfully realized. In the presence of the weak nucleophilic base 2-chloropyridine, the reactions deliver ethyl trans-β-lactam-3-carboxylates as the exclusive [2 + 2] products in up to 93% yields, while with the strong nucleophilic N-methylimidazole as the...

BACKGROUND Co-crystal is a structurally homogeneous crystalline material that contains two or more neutral building blocks that are present in definite stoichiometric amounts. The main advantage of co-crystals is their ability to generate a variety of solid forms of a drug that have distinct physicochemical properties from the solid co-crystal components. In the present investigation, five co-c...

ABSTRACT A series of novel 1,2,4-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxides were synthesized by condensation of 2-chlorobenzenesulfonamide and 4-chloropyridine-3-sulfonamide with heterocyclic methyl carbimidates obtained from heterocyclic carbonitriles and used at the time of their creation. Substituted amidines were isolated as the intermediates in the reaction with 2-chlorobenzenesulfonamide. Those intermediat...
