Abstract
Ethyl 3-aminocrotonate, when reacted with hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodobenzene, forms the tosylate of ethyl 3-amino-2-phenyliodoniocrotonate which crystallizes well in up to 80% yield. X-ray analysis confirms the structure of the phenyliodonium salt, revealing intramolecular and unusual intermolecular hydrogen bonds, stabilizing the compound in the crystalline state. Reaction with pyridine, its 4-substituted derivatives, and 4,4′-bipyridine yields tosylates of 2-pyridinio-substituted ethyl 3-aminocrotonates.1H NMR and IR spectra support formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond for the E-isomer, and iodonium salts in the case of pyridinium salts for the Z-isomer. The UV spectra of the pyridinium salts show an intramolecular charge transfer band.
