Hydroxide-catalyzed synthesis of heterocyclic aromatic amine derivatives from nitriles

Journal Article · · J. Heterocycl. Chem.; (United States)

A generalized method for synthesizing a wide variety of heterocyclic aromatic amine derivatives from nitriles by use of hydroxide catalysts is presented. Nitrile dimers (3-aminocrotononitrile and dicyandiamide) and a dimer analog (anthranilonitrile) react with monomeric nitriles in the presence of hydroxide to form respectively, aminopyrimidines, diaminotriazines and aminoquinazolines.
