Acridine, 9-Amino

In complex cases, the prefixes amino- and imino- may be changed to ammonio- and iminio- and are followed by the name of the molecule representing the most complex group attached to this nitrogen atom and are preceded by the names of the other radicals attached to this nitrogen. Finally the name of the anion is added separately. For example, the name might be 1-trimethylammonio-acridine chloride or 1-acridinyltrimethylammonium chloride. 

The predominance in the gas phase of the CH tautomers in the case of several pyrazolinones including one 3-aminopyrazolin-5-one was demonstrated by PES [88JCS(P2)641] this result is consistent with previous findings (76AHCS1, p. 325). The same technique was applied to the study of the amino/imino equilibrium in 9-amino and 9-(methylamino)acridines [91MI(61)166] although both tautomers have similar stabilities, the experimental data are in better agreement with the amino tautomer. 

The pioneering work carried out in Germany in the 1920s showed that appropriately substituted aminoquinolines and amino-acridines afforded a series of synthetic compounds that exhibited antimalarial activity.The exigencies of the Second World War led to a massive program aimed at the same goal in this country. This work led to the development of two distinct structural classes of quinoline antimalarials the 4-amino-7-chloroquino-... 

The amino acid 58 was used in the solid-phase synthesis of sequence-specific DNA binding polyamides containing N-methylimidazole and N-methylpyrrole amino acids <96JACS6141> and it was also reported that the imidazole-acridine conjugate 59 could effectively catalyze the cleavage of t-RNA <96TL4417>.

In polar solvents, the structure of the acridine 13 involves some zwitterionic character 13 a [Eq. (7)] and the interior of the cleft becomes an intensely polar microenvironment. On the periphery of the molecule a heavy lipophilic coating is provided by the hydrocarbon skeleton and methyl groups. A third domain, the large, flat aromatic surface is exposed by the acridine spacer unit. This unusual combination of ionic, hydrophobic and stacking opportunities endows these molecules with the ability to interact with the zwitterionic forms of amino acids which exist at neutral pH 24). For example, the acridine diacids can extract zwitterionic phenylalanine from water into chloroform, andNMR evidence indicates the formation of 2 1 complexes 39 such as were previously described for other P-phenyl-ethylammonium salts. Similar behavior is seen with tryptophan 40 and tyrosine methyl ether 41. The structures lacking well-placed aromatics such as leucine or methionine are not extracted to measureable degrees under these conditions. 

This chapter focuses on recent developments in the design and applications of fluorescent organic markers, such as coumarins, benzoxadiazoles, acridones, acridines, polyaromatics (naphthalene, anthracene, and pyrene), fluorescein, and rho-damine derivatives, which display maximum fluorescence emission in the UV/ visible region and have been applied in the labeling of relevant biomolecules, namely DNA, RNA, proteins, peptides, and amino acids, among others. 

Many brilliantly coloured and tinctorially strong basic dyes for silk and tannin-mordanted cotton were developed in the early decades of the synthetic dye industry. Most of these belonged to the acridine, azine, oxazine, triarylmethane, xanthene and related chemical classes their molecules are usually characterised by one delocalised positive charge. Thus in crystal violet (1.29) the cationic charge is shared between the three equivalent methylated p-amino nitrogen atoms. A few of these traditional basic dyes are still of some interest in the dyeing of acrylic fibres, notably as components of cheap mixture navies and blacks, but many modified basic dyes were introduced from the 1950s onwards for acrylic and modacrylic fibres, as well as for basic-dyeable variants of nylon and polyester [44] ... 

We now consider heteroaromatic diamines with the condition that an amino group is not a to a heterocyclic nitrogen. The only thermochemical data we can find are for 2,8-diamino acridine for which the solid-phase enthalpy is 127 7 kJmol-1. In the absence of significant substituent and solid state effects, thermoneutrality is expected for the conproportionation reaction 40 that produces diaminoarenes from monoamine derivatives.
