Abstract

Amines react with N-cinnamoylbenzotriazoles to afford either β-amino-N-acylbenzotriazoles or cinnamides depending on the structure of the amines. Aromatic amines react with N-cinnamoylbenzotriazoles via 1,4-addition to give β-amino-N-acylbenzotriazoles in good yields. For o-phenylenediamine, the 1,4-addition products were further acylated to provide a facile route to substituted 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepine-2-ones. Aliphatic amines, however, react exclusively through the 1,2-addition pathway to produce cinnamides in good yields.

Key words

1,4-addition - 1,2-addition - amines - cinnamides - 1,5-benzodiazepine-2-ones

Typical Experimental Procedure.
A mixture of aromatic or aliphatic amine (1.1 mmol),
N-cinnamoybenzotriazole (1 mmol) and Et₃N (1 mL) was refluxed in dry THF (10 mL) for the indicated time (monitored by TLC). Removal of THF and Et₃N under reduced pressure afforded a residue, which was separated by preparative TLC on silica gel with EtOAc and cyclohexane (1:6) as eluent to afford β-amino N-acylbenzotriazoles. Alternatively, Et₂O was added to the reaction mixture, followed by washing with sat. Na₂CO₃ solution, drying with anhyd MgSO₄ and removal of the solvent under reduced pressure. The residue solidified and was recrystallized from EtOH or other appropriate solvent to afford pure α,β-unsaturated amides.
