Amination acridine

Hexyl-1,3-benzenediol compd with 9-acridin-amine(1 1). 

Commercially available acridine is usually provided as the HCl salt if this acid is not completely removed, it can mask and even become a source of interference when the acridine salt is titrated against the photogenerated acid. N-(9-acridinyl) acetamide (ACRAM) was used in this study. ACRAM is readily obtained from acridine amine with acetic anhydride in pyridine, as shown in Scheme 11.2. The protonation of ACRAM by the photoacid proceeds via Scheme 11.3.

The simplest case for complete enforcement of the convergent conformation was provided by meta xylidine diamine 10. Condensation of two triacids with this amine in the melt gave excellent yields of the dicarboxylic acid 11 (Eq. (2)). The architectural cliche is easily repeated in the naphthalene series to provide 12 and in the acridine series to provide 13. The latter is derived from the commercially available acridine yellow at very low cost. 

To a solution of oxalic chloride (5 g) in dichloromethane, a solution of diphenyl amine (5 g) in dichloromethane was added dropwise and refluxed for 30 min. The solution was concentrated (50%) and aluminum trichloride (8 g) added in portions. The mixture was refluxed for 45 min and the solvent evaporated. To this residue hydrochloric acid in ice water (1 M) was added and the red-colored precipitate filtered. The precipitate was dissolved in potassium hydroxide (10% in water), refluxed overnight, and poured into hydrochloric acid in ice water (5 M). The yellow acridine-9-carboxylic acid was filtered, washed with water, and dried. 

Under basic conditions, A -acridinylmethyl-substituted thiourea 449 placed in the presence of bromoacetonitrile gave rise to the unexpected formation of the spiro[dihydro-acridine-9(10//),2 -(2, 7 -dihydro-3 //-imidazo[l,2-c]thiazol-5 -ylidene-/>-nitrophenyl)amine] 450 in 67% yield. The reaction involved displacement of the bromine atom of...

Pyridine reacts with sodium hydrazide in the presence of hydrazine to yield 2-hydrazinopyridine in the absence of free hydrazine a hydrazo compound is formed (Scheme 88) (64AG(E)342). A difference between hydrazination and amination is the formation of 1,4-adducts which cannot be rearomatized even on heating. This is reflected in the behaviour of quinoline, which gives only a 0.5% yield of a -hydrazino product, whereas 4-methylquino-line is hydrazinated in 76% yield (64AG(E)342). Acridine behaves differently with sodium hydrazide/hydrazine, 9,10-dihydroacridine is formed almost quantitatively, but reaction in the absence of hydrazine yields 9-aminoacridine (65%). An even higher yield of 9-amino-acridine is obtained when sodium Af.AC-dimethylhydrazide is used (Scheme 89). Good evidence for intermediacy of (151) comes from the isolation of (152) on hydrolysis of (151). 

Ullmann and Fetvadjian reported the modification which made the synthesis more generally useful, when they heated together equimolar amounts of an aromatic amine and a phenol with paraformaldehyde or with benzaldehyde, thus making it possible to obtain unsymmetrical acridines (03CB1027). Thus, from 2-naphthol and 1-naphthylamine they obtained dibenzo[c,/]acridine (613), and from 2-naphthol and 2-naphthylamine dibenzo[c,fi]acridine (614). In a similar manner, from 1-aminoacridine and the two naph-thols are obtained the benzo [a]- and benzo[c]-naphtho[2,3-fi]acridines (615) and (616), and from 2-aminoacridine and the naphthols the benzo[a]- and benzo[c]-naphtho[2,3-/]acridines (617) and (618) (69JCS(C)1337). The isomeric benzofa]- and benzo[c]-... 

A number of other heterocycllcs have been similarly studied and shown by H nmr, to produce quaternary ammonium salts with living polyTHF.2- Moreover, their rates of reaction are a direct function of their basicities, the following order of reactivities being observed ethyl pyridine > pyridine > isoquinoline > quinoline > acridine. Aliphatic tertiary amines also react in the same way the order of reactivities was found to be triethylame > tributylamlne > dlethylanillne. In all cases studied, the quaternary ammonium salt once formed did not exchange with any excess oxonium lone. 

A number of studies have been directed specifically at the acridine nucleus. The effect of substituents in the 9-position in acridine (V-oxides on Rf values for thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is measured by ap,198 and there is also a relation between this parameter and the N—O stretching frequencies. The effect of substituents on the basicity of acridine and the possibility of amine-ketimine tautomerism in 9-aminoacridines have been evaluated, taking quinoline as a model... 

Like thioindoxyl (Section VI, 1,2) and 2-naphthol, but unlike thiooxindole (Section VI, 1,1) and 4-hydroxybenzo[6]thiophene (Section VI, 1,3), 5-hydroxybenzo[6]thiophene condenses readily with aromatic amines.558 It undergoes a normal Ullmann-Fetvadjian reaction with 1-naphthylamine to give l-methylthieno[3,2-u]benz[fe]-acridine, but with 2-naphthylamine an inseparable mixture of 1-methylthieno[3,2-u]benz[j]acridine and dibenz[u,j]acridine is obtained.558...

Semiempirical calculations have been used to calculate kinetic, transition-state, thermodynamic, and physicochemical parameters for acridin-9-amine (18a) and its tautomer, acridin-9( 10//)-iminc (18b).27... 

It is known from electrochemical studies that fullerenes are easily reduced. Up to 6 electrons can be added reversibly [19], and, as mentioned earlier, the excited states are even more easily reduced. A large number of electron donors were investigated including aromatic and alkyl amines [29,43,79,119-140,152,161], ni-troxide radicals [57,117], suspensions of Ti02 [118], polyaromatic compounds, [19,127] organo-silicon compounds, [133,158] phenothiazine, [133] acridine [145,154], (3-carotene [141], tetrathiafulvalenes [146], tetraethoxyethene [147], phthalocyanines [148], porphyrines [151,153], NADH and analogues [150,154, 155], borates [156,159], and naphtoles [23] to name a few representative cases. 

Apocyanine dyes of the acridine series are obtained by treating acridinium iodide [43] or acridinium chloride [44] with tertiaiy aromatic amines. The dyes can also be obtained by ipso substitution of acridinium iodide with 4-haloaryl-amines in dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature [45],... 

Polycyclic aromatic nitrogen compounds, such as quinoline, indole, acridine, and carbazole, are the main nitrogen-containing compounds in oil fractions, and monocyclic pyridine and pyrrole as well as anilines are present in coal tar (Scheme 11). Saturated cyclic amines are found as products of ring hydrogenation of the compounds shown in Scheme 11 after HDN. Aliphatic amines are rarely found in fuels and only in low concentrations after HDN since their nitrogen atoms are easily removed. 

Polymers containing chromophores such as acridine and azobenzene have also been prepared by palladium-catalyzed amination according to two approaches [222-224]. The first approach involved the polymerization of monomers containing the chromophore. For example, 4-aminoazobenzene was condensed with 1,3-dibromobenzene (Eq. (39)) or 4,4 -dibromobiphenyl ether to form polymeric materials with Mw values of 9.0 x 103 and 19 x 103, respectively. Alternatively, polymers prepared by polymerization of 4-bromostyrene or copolymerization of styrene and 4-bromostyrene were coupled with N-phenyl-4-amino azobenzene. Substitution of the aryl bromides by the amino azobenzene unit was essentially quantitative when using P(tBu)3 as the ligand.
