| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for producing an azoline compound represented by the general formula (3): n n n n n n n n n n wherein R 1 represents an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group, an optionally substituted alkoxy group, an optionally substituted alkoxycarbonyl group, a halogen atom, a substituted amino group, a substituted carbamoyl group or an optionally substituted heterocyclic group; R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 may be the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group, an optionally substituted alkoxy group, an optionally substituted alkoxycarbonyl group, a halogen atom, a substituted amino group, a substituted carbamoyl group or an optionally substituted heterocyclic group; two arbitrary groups selected from R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 may bond to each other to form a ring; and Z 1 represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or a selenium atom; n comprising reacting a carboxylic acid or a carboxylic acid derivative represented by the general formula (1): n R 1 CO 2 R 2 (1)n n wherein R 1 is as defined above; R 2 represents a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted alkyl group or an optionally substituted aryl group; and R 1 and R 2 may bond to each other to form a ring; n with an aminochalcogenide represented by the general formula (2): n n n n n n n n n n wherein R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 and Z 1 are as defined above; in the presence of a compound containing a group 12 metal element in the periodic table. |
