Abstract:

The mild Radziszewski oxidation of 3-aryl-2-cyanoacrylamides with H₂O₂–NaOH (or H₂O₂–Na₂CO₃) system leads to the formation of oxirane-2,2-dicarboxamides in good yields. The reactions and structure of the obtained products were studied. The aminolysis of the oxirane-2,2-dicarboxamides effected by primary amines occurs in keeping with Krasusky rule to afford 2-(1-R-amino-ethyl)-3-aryl-2-hydroxymalonamides or tartronamide.We found that 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxirane-2,2-dicarboxamide exhibited moderate activity both as plant growth regulator and 2,4-D antidote.

Keywords: Radziszewski oxidation, oxiranes, aminolysis, beta-amino alcohols, tartronamide, biological activity
