Abstract

A new selective cobalt acetate tetrahydrate or cerium nitrate hexahydrate mediated cleavage of the C–N bond of a benzoyl isothiocyanate derivative to give (carbamoylamino)methanethioamide is presented. The cleavage of the C–N could not be achieved in the absence of thione. The novel silver-mediated conversion of a thione to the carbonyl was achieved on 1-((benzamido)formyl)urea and replicated on (carbamoylamino)methanethioamide to give the deaminolyzed bisurea (dicarbamolyamine). The compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, microanalysis and GC–MS. The single crystal X–ray diffraction studies of the crystal structures of compounds I, II, III and V is discussed.

Graphical Abstract

1 Introduction

Benzoyl isothiocyanates have been reported extensively [1,2], as was their transformation to other classes of compounds [3,4]. Some transformations of benzoyl isothiocyanates and their analogs allow the simple access to certain compounds [5,6,7,8,9]. The isothiocyanates typically have an electrophillic carbon of the thiocyanate moiety which can be attacked by nucleophiles such as nitrogen and oxygen atoms. A reaction with amines typically leads to thiourea derivatives [10]. Metal-catalyzed reactions have been a subject of much interest for many decades and new metal catalysts are currently being invented.

Ackermann et al. [11] have reported a method for the activation and cleavage of a C–H in the synthesis of biaryls using palladium and ruthenium catalysts. The method has been extensively applied in the synthesis of some bioactive compounds.

Cobalt has been used to catalyze the cross-dehydrogenative coupling of benzoxazoles and ethers [12].

Cyclopentanone-2-carboxylates have been converted to (δ-lactones by cerium catalysis with α-arylvinylacetate [13]. The synthesis of a molecular cobalt complex that generates super stoichiometric yields of NH3via the direct reduction of N2 with protons and electrons has been reported [14]. The cobalt(II) diacetonitrilo has been used to catalyze the activation of weak C–H bonds by either iodosobenzene or m-chloroperbenzoic acid [15]. Another impactful bond activation metal-catalyzed reaction is the ruthenium-catalyzed bond-shifting methathesis reactions by Grubbs [16,17]. The cleavage of C–N bonds has been reported to be carried out using transition metals [18]. Carbon–carbon bond formation has been achieved through the cleavage of aromatic C–N bonds from aniline derivatives [19, 20]. Palladium catalyzed C–C bond formation via olefin carbon nitrogen bond cleavage has been reported by Zhu et al. [21].

In this work, we report new preliminary findings of a selective cobalt or cerium mediated cleavage of the C–N bond of a benzoyl isothiocyanate derivative to give (carbamoylamino) methanethioamide. The cleavage of the C–N could not be achieved in the absence of the thione group. The novel silver-catalyzed conversion of the thione to the carbonyl has been achieved on (carbamoylamino) methanethioamide to produce bisurea, dicarbamolyamine. These researchers cannot claim that the cleavage reactions are metal-catalyzed since stoichiometric quantities of the metal ions were used, but more work needs to be done to ascertain the mechanism of the reaction; the first step would be to decode the intermediate species of the metal ions. Hence, the activation of the C–N bonds presented here is termed metal-mediated and not metal-catalyzed reactions.

2 Experimental methods

2.1 Reagent and instrumentation

Analytical grade reagents and solvents for synthesis such as ammonium thiocyanate, dimethyl sulfoxide, cerium nitrate hexahydrate, cobalt acetate tetrahydrate and toluene were obtained from Sigma Aldrich (USA) while silver nitrate, tetrahydrofuran, methanol, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, benzoyl chloride, acetone, celite, ethanol and hexane were obtained from Merck Chemicals (SA). The chemicals were used as received (i.e. without further purification). 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance AV 400 MHz Spectrometer operating at 400 MHz for 1H and 100 MHz for 13C using DMSO-d6 as solvent and tetramethylsilane as internal standard. Chemical shifts are expressed in ppm. FT–IR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Platinum ATR Spectrophotometer Tensor 27. Elemental analyses were performed using a Vario Elementar Microcube ELIII. Melting points were obtained using a Stuart Lasec SMP30. Masses were determined using an Agilent 7890A GC system connected to a 5975C VL–MSC with an electron impact as the ionization mode and detection by a triple-axis detector. The GC was fitted with a 30 m x 0.25 mm x 0.25 μm DB-5 capillary column. Helium was used as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 1.6 mL.min–1 with an average velocity of 30.2 cm s–1 and a pressure of 63.7 KPa.

X-ray diffraction analysis of 1-((benzamido) sulfanylenemethyl) urea (I),1-([benzamido]formyl) urea (II), carbamoylamino)methanethioamide (III) and benzamide (V) were performed at 200 K using a Bruker Kappa Apex II diffractometer with monochromated Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). APEXII [22], was used for data collection and SAINT [22], for cell refinement and data reduction. The structures were solved using direct methods such as SHELXS–2013 [22] and refined by least-squares procedures using SHELXL–2013 [23], with SHELXLE [24], as a graphical interface. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. Carbon-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H 0.95 Å for aromatic carbon atoms and C–H 0.99 Å for methylene groups) and were included in the refinement in the model approximation, with Uiso (H) set to 1.2Ueq (C). The H atoms of the methyl groups were allowed to rotate with a fixed angle around the C–C bond to best fit the experimental electron density (HFIX 137 in the SHELX program suite [23]), with Uiso (H) set to 1.5 Ueq (C). Nitrogen-bound H atoms were located on a different Fourier map and refined freely. Data were corrected for absorption effects using the numerical method implemented in SADABS [24].

3 Results and discussion

3.1 Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of compounds

In the synthesis of compound I, urea attacks the benzoyl isothiocyanate on the electrophilic carbon of the thiocyanate moiety. Potassium thiocyanate in acetone has been reported to react with benzoyl chloride [25] to form isothiocyanate. Urea was added and heated at 55°C for 5 h, and this gave a yield of 30% while heating under a reflux of acetone for 6 h gave a yield of 88%. The IR spectrum showed bands at 3343 and 3197 cm-1 for N–H intervals. Signals were observed at 1691 and 1651 cm–1for the C=O stretch. While signals for the C=C intervals were observed at 1615 and 1577 cm-1, signals for C–N intervals were observed at 1528, 1489 and 1449 cm-1. The 1H NMR spectrum of compound I showed singlet signals at 11.23, 9.86 and 9.56 ppm for the N–H protons which were consistent with signals of protons attached to a nitrogen atom making them occur downfield. A doublet signal for an aromatic proton was observed at 7.94 ppm for two protons, while a triplet signal for one proton was observed at 7.64 ppm, also a signal for two aromatic protons resonated at 7.51 ppm. The 13C NMR spectrum showed signals at 182.4 and 168.4 ppm for the C=S and the C=O of a carbonyl respectively. Signals for aromatic carbons occurred between 133.3 and 129.0 ppm.

Compound II was formed by the silver mediated substitution of sulfur with oxygen in compound I; the source of oxygen was presumably water, and the silver by-product was also presumably an allotrope of silver sulfide. The IR spectrum showed bands for the N–H intervals at 3345 and 3225 cm–1. The band for the C=O interval was observed at 1710 cm–1 [26]. A band for the C=N and the aromatic C=C were observed at 1663 and 1598 cm–1, respectively [27], suggesting that the C–N were not distinct single bonds. The 1H NMR spectrum gave three single signals at 11.42, 10.33 and 7.47 ppm for the N–H protons, a double signal was observed for two protons at 8.02 ppm while a triple signal for a proton was observed at 7.72 ppm; another triple signal was observed at 7.60 ppm for two protons. The 13C NMR spectrum gave a signal at 169.6 ppm for the carbonyl. Signals between 132.1 and 127.8 ppm were observed for aromatic carbons.

An attempt to cleave the C–N bond, in the a position to the benzoyl group of compound II using cobalt acetate tetrahydrate or cerium nitrate hexahydrate was not successful as only the initial material was obtained (Scheme 5). But the cleavage was successful when compound I was used as the initial material (Scheme 6).

This showed that the cobalt and cerium catalyzed cleavage reaction required the presence of the thione group for the cleavage to occur, possibly due to the weakening of the C–N bond by the polarizing effect of the sulfur. Compound III was formed by the cerium nitrate hexahydrate or cobalt acetate tetrahydrate mediated cleavage of compound I in THF and methanol, respectively. The IR spectrum showed bands at 3438, 3367 and 3167 cm–1 for the N–H interval, a band was observed at 1716 cm-1 for the C=S interval [28], while the C=O interval was observed at 1699 cm–1. The 1H NMR spectrum of compound III showed single resonances for protons at 9.69, 9.49 and 8.95 ppm, while broad signals for protons were also observed at 6.95 and 6.33 ppm. The 13C NMR spectrum gave resonances at 181.7 for the (C=S) of a thione and 155.0 for the C=O of a carbonyl.

The cobalt acetate mediated cleavage of compound I in THF gave a benzamide (V) as the only isolable product (Scheme 7). The reaction of cobalt acetate tetrahydrate with benzoyl iosthiocyanate derivatives yielded a benzamide (V) as one of the side products regardless of the initial material. This reaction was confirmed using three different benzoyl isothiocyanate derivatives. But with methanol as a solvent, (carbamoylamino) methanethioamide (III) was obtained. Cobalt cleaves benzamide from 1-((benzamido) sulfanylenemethyl)urea (I) in a non-specific way resulting in a mixture of products. But cobalt acetate tetrahydrate in methanol yields (carbamoylamino) methanethioamide and possibly benzoic acid. Scheme 6 gives the synthesis scheme for the synthesis of compounds III and IV with the last step being the silver reaction. The IR spectrum of compound IV, dicarbamolyamine, showed bands at 3377, 3334 and 3234 cm–1 for the N–H interval, and a band was observed at 1654 cm–1 for the C=O interval. The 1H NMR spectrum of compound IV showed single resonances for protons at 10.20, 9.87, 9.74 and 9.49 ppm due to the amine protons. To our knowledge, this is the first presentation of dicarbamolyamine in the literature, the closest derivatives being diacyl ureas which were recently published by Hernandez et al. [29].

The bond distance of O1-C1 in compound I which was 1.215(2) Å, is consistent with a carbonyl while the N1-C1, N1-C2, and N2-C3 bond distances in compound I were 1.386(2), 1.367(2) and 1.402(2) Ǻ respectively which were consistent with the C–N single bond [30]. The bond distance of S1-C2, which was 1.648 (2) Ǻ, is consistent with a bond length of a thione [31]. The bond angles of O2-C3-N2 and S1-C2-N1 are 121.8(1) and 127.6(1) respectively showed that the carbon atom is sp2 hybridized.

In the crystal structure of compound II, the carbonyl group (O2-C2) is in an opposite position from the benzoyl carbonyl while the thione group in compound I is aligned. The oxygen and sulfur atoms are as far removed from each other as possible to reduce repulsion between their respective electron densities. The bond distances of O1-C1, O2-C2, O3-C3 which were 1.220(1), 1.218(1) and 1.229(1) Å, respectively, were consistent with a carbonyl while the N1-C1, N1-C2, N2-C2 and N2-C3 bond distances in compound II were 1.377(1), 1.396(1), 1.359(1) and 1.410(1) Ǻ respectively and consistent with the C–N single bond [31]. The bond angles of O1-C1-N1, N1-C2-N2 and O2-C2-N2 were 121.7(1), 116.6(1) and 124.9(1) respectively.

In compound III, the bond distances of O1-C12 and O2-C22 in compound III were 1.240(2) and 1.234(2) Å respectively, and were consistent with a carbonyl, while the N21-C21, N11-C11 and N12-C11 bond distances in compound III were 1.307(3), 1.312(2), and 1.366(2)Ǻ respectively which were also consistent with the C–N single bond. However, these were stronger C–N bonds. The S1-C11 and S2-C21 were also found to be 1.697(2) and 1.708(2) respectively. The bond angles of S2-C21-N21, S1-C11-N11 and S2-C21-N22, O2-C2-N2 were 122.0(1), 121.8(1) and 118.5(1) respectively, while the N11-C11-N12, N22-C22-N23, N12-C12-N13 were 119.4(2), 113.2(2), and 113.2(2) respectively. These were comparable to reported values [32].

The bond distances of O1-C7 in compound V which were 1.240(1) unit were consistent with a carbonyl while the N1-C7 bond distances in compound V were 1.330(2) unit, consistent with the C-N single bond [33]. The bond distances of C3-C4, C4-C5 and C1-C2, were 1.375(2), 1.384(2) and 1.389(2) unit respectively. The bond angles of C2-C1-C6, C1-C2-C3, and O1-C7-C1 were 119.5(1), 120.0(1) unit and 120.3(1) respectively.

Because of the strength of the C–N bonds, it is not easy to justify the observed reactions. The benzamide formation is probably the only one that fits the justification for its formation as the C–N bonds in the β position to the benzoyl group were weaker than the rest found in compounds 1 and II. It is clear therefore, that the metals play a significant role in these reactions to activate the C–N bond cleavage. A further study will be the detailed mechanisms of these reactions as well as the formation of 3,5-diamino- 1,2,4-triazole by a reaction with hydrazine and synthesis of a new urea-formaldehyde resin which will be compared with the current standard using monomeric urea.

4 Conclusions

A novel selective C–N bond cleavage of a benzoyl isothiocyanate derivative to give (carbamoylamino) methanethioamide has been achieved using cobalt acetate tetrahydrate in methanol. The product has also been accessed using cerium nitrate hexahydrate as a catalyst in THF. The cleavage of the C–N bond does not occur in the absence of the thione group in compound II. A novel silver catalyzed conversion of a thione to the carbonyl has been achieved on 1-([benzamido]formyl)urea (I) and replicated on (carbamoylamino) methanethioamide (III) to give bisurea (dicarbamolyamine). The structures of the compounds have been confirmed using IR, NMR, microanalysis and GC-MS. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of the crystal structures of compounds I, II, III and V have been presented. These show evidence of the formation of the new molecules via metal mediation, and a further study is to investigate the detailed mechanisms of these reactions.
