Scheme-1.10.5 Weber’s condensation with N-acetylguanidine.<br />

In the late 1970’s Nishimura reported the condensation of substituted α-diketones<br />

with guanidine to yield a variety of useful products (Scheme-1.10.6). 91 This report<br />

illuminates the variety of chemistry that is possible around this heterocyclic core.<br />

Treatment of a diketone with guanidine in dioxane and methanol yields the substituted<br />

bicyclic bis-guanidine . Alternatively, aprotic reaction conditions can selectively<br />

deliver the 2-aminoimidizo-4-ol. This intermediate can undergo a base catalyzed<br />

pinacol-type rearrangement to form the 2-aminoimidizo-4-one. This same<br />

intermediate can give rise to the 4,5-diol upon exposure to aqueous hydrochloric acid.<br />

A similar hydration reaction with anhydrous HCl affords the di-methoxylated<br />

derivative. Hydrogenolysis of 2-aminoimidizo-4-ol cleanly gives the 4,5-dialkyl-2aminoimidazole.<br />

These laboratory transformations foreshadow potential biosynthetic<br />

relationships between the 2-aminoimidazole natural products isolated from marine<br />

sponges.<br />
