Abstract
Replacement of the β-methylene group in O-alkylvalerolactim by an oxygen atom leaves the reactivity of the lactim group substantially unchanged. It is shown that the ability of simplest lactim ethers to undergo condensation with α-amino-α cyanoacetamide and hydrazine hydrate also extends to 3-ethoxy-3, 4-dehydromorpholine, making it possible to synthesize new heterocyclic systems (morpholinoimidazole, morpholinopurine, and morpholinotetrazole). Replacement of a methylene group in derivatives of tetramethylenimidazole, purine, and tetrazole by an oxygen atom, markedly decreases the biological activities of these compounds.
