Abstract Dialkyl 2-((alkylimino)(2-thioxobenzo[d]oxazol-3(2H)-yl)methyl) maleate
derivatives were obtained from the reaction between alkyl isocyanides, dialkyl acetylene
dicarboxylates, and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole in CH2Cl2 at room temperature in good
yields.

Introduction
Multi-component reactions (MCRs) are special types of synthetically useful organic
reactions in which three or more different starting materials react to a final product
in a one-pot procedure [1]. MCRs are powerful tools in the modern drug discovery
process and allow the fast, automated, and high-throughput generation of organic
compounds [2]. Multicomponent processes are at a premium for the achievement of
high levels of diversity and brevity, as they allow three or more simple and flexible
building blocks to be combined in practical, one-pot operations, and due to their
inherent simple experimental procedures and their one-pot character, they are
perfectly suited for automated synthesis [3].
Benzoxazole and its derivatives are heterocyclic compounds with a high
therapeutic efficiency. They are of particular interest in medicinal chemistry [4–6].

The literature mentions the antibacterial and antifungal activity for this class of
compounds as being far more efficient than the active substances already available
on the market [7, 8]. The antitumoral [9–12], tuberculostatic [13], antiinflammatory
[14], HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor [14, 15], and imagistic fluorescent
[16–18] activity should also be mentioned for benzoxazole derivatives [19]. The
reaction of 2-mercaptobenzoxazole with isocyanides has been investigated by Zhu
et al. [20]. In continuation of our research based on MCRs [21–23], we report here
the reaction between alkyl isocyanides 1 and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates 2 in
the presence of 2-mercaptobenzoxazole 3 (Scheme 1).
Experimental
Cyclohexyl isocyanide, t-butyl isocyanide, dimethyl acetylenedicaboxylate, diethyl
acetylenedicaboxylate, di-t-butyl acetylenedicaboxylate, and 2-mercaptobenzoxa-
zole were purchased from Fluka, Merck, and Aldrich, and used without further
purification. Melting points and IR spectra were measured on an Electrothermal
9100 apparatus and a JASCO FT-IR spectrometer, respectively. The 1H and 13C
NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker DRX-400 and 500 Avance instruments with
CDCl3 as solvent at 400.1 and 500.1 MHz (1H NMR) and 100.6 and 125.7 MHz
(13C NMR). Mass spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu GC/MS QP 1100 EX mass
spectrometer operating at an ionization potential of 70 eV. Elemental analyses were
performed using a Heraeus CHN–O-Rapid analyzer.

General procedure
The process for the preparation of our products is described for 4a as an example. A
solution of cyclohexyl isocyanide (0.13 g, 1.2 mmol) in 3 mL of CH2Cl2 solvent
was slowly added dropwise to a mixture of 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (1 mmol) and
dimethyl acetylenedicaboxylate (0.17 g, 1.2 mmol) in 20 mL of CH2Cl2 solvent at
room temperature for 3 min. After the addition, the solution was stirred for 24 h.
Then, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was washed
with a mixture of cold diethyl ether and n-hexane in a 1:3 ratio (2 9 3 mL) to afford
the pure product.

Results and discussion
The present research was oriented towards the production of highly substituted
dialkyl 2-((alkylimino)(2-thioxobenzo[d]oxazol-3(2H)-yl)methyl) maleate deriva-
tives 4a–c from the reaction between alkyl isocyanides 1 and dialkyl acetylenedi-
carboxylates 2 in the presence of 2-mercaptobenzoxazole 3 in CH2Cl2 at room
temperature (Scheme 1). It can be seen that, when the R and R’ groups were
changed, the yield was changed too; it was related to stereo effects of Me, Et, t-Bu
and Cyclohexyl groups.
The products 4a–c are stable solids with structures deduced from their IR,1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectral data, and elemental analysis. The mass spectra of
these compounds 4a–c displayed molecular ion peaks at appropriate m/e values. The1H NMR spectrum of compound 4a exhibited three multiplet signals at d 1.26–1.83,
3.31, and 7.13–7.42 ppm due to the cyclohexyl ring, N–CH of cyclohexyl, and
aromatic protons, respectively, and two singlet signals at d 3.67 and 3.91 ppm due

to methoxy group protons and one singlet signal at d 7.07 ppm due to the proton of
the vinyl group.
The 13C NMR spectrum of 4a showed 20 distinct resonances in agreement with
the proposed structure. The characteristic signals due to the C=N and C=S were
discernible at d 153.1 and 182.5 ppm, respectively. Two ester carbonyls resonated
at d 163.2 and 163.9 ppm. Partial assignment of these resonances is given in the
‘‘Experimental’’ section. The structural assignment made on the basis of the 1H and13C NMR spectra of compound 4a was supported by the measurement of its IR
spectra. The IR spectra of 4a showed strong absorptions at 1,719 and 1,737 cm-1
due to the ester carbonyls. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 4b, c are similar to 4aand the results are described in the ‘‘Experimental’’ section.
The plausible way of forming the product is proposed in Scheme 2. It is
reasonable to assume that compound 5 results from the initial addition of alkyl
isocyanide and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate [21, 22], and the subsequent
protonation of the 1:1 adduct occurs with 3a. Then, the positively charged ion 6is attacked by the base 7 to form product 4a–c.
Conclusion
The new and interesting structures of maleate derivatives were synthesized. The
presented method has the advantage of being performed under neutral conditions
and requires no activation or modification of the reagent.
