Alcohols amine nucleophiles

The great significance of the later discovery that exactly comparable additions to A-acylpyridinium cations, generated and reacted in situ, is that the dihydropyridines which result can be further manipulated if required and that during rearomatisation the iV-substituent can be easily removed to give a substituted pyridine. It is worth noting the contrast to the use of iV-acylpyridinium salts for reaction with alcohol, amine nucleophiles (section 5.1.1.7) when attack is at the carbonyl carbon the use of an alkoxycarbonyl substituent in the present context aids this discrimination. 

Acetoiicetyliition Reactions. The best known and commercially most important reaction of diketene is the aceto acetylation of nucleophiles to give derivatives of acetoacetic acid (Fig. 2) (1,5,6). A wide variety of substances with acidic hydrogens can be acetoacetylated. This includes alcohols, amines, phenols, thiols, carboxyHc acids, amides, ureas, thioureas, urethanes, and sulfonamides. Where more than one functional group is present, ring closure often follows aceto acetylation, giving access to a variety of heterocycHc compounds. These reactions often require catalysts in the form of tertiary amines, acids, and mercury salts. Acetoacetate esters and acetoacetamides are the most important industrial intermediates prepared from diketene. 

Solvent for Displacement Reactions. As the most polar of the common aprotic solvents, DMSO is a favored solvent for displacement reactions because of its high dielectric constant and because anions are less solvated in it (87). Rates for these reactions are sometimes a thousand times faster in DMSO than in alcohols. Suitable nucleophiles include acetyUde ion, alkoxide ion, hydroxide ion, azide ion, carbanions, carboxylate ions, cyanide ion, hahde ions, mercaptide ions, phenoxide ions, nitrite ions, and thiocyanate ions (31). Rates of displacement by amides or amines are also greater in DMSO than in alcohol or aqueous solutions. Dimethyl sulfoxide is used as the reaction solvent in the manufacture of high performance, polyaryl ether polymers by reaction of bis(4,4 -chlorophenyl) sulfone with the disodium salts of dihydroxyphenols, eg, bisphenol A or 4,4 -sulfonylbisphenol (88). These and related reactions are made more economical by efficient recycling of DMSO (89). Nucleophilic displacement of activated aromatic nitro groups with aryloxy anion in DMSO is a versatile and useful reaction for the synthesis of aromatic ethers and polyethers (90). 

Marked reactivity towards nucleophiles like alcohols, amines and thiols was observed with the perfluorodiazirine (108) (79MI50802). 

The relatively poor resonance activation of the 2-Le-3-aza orientation in bicyclics (cf. Section IV, A) is illustrated by nucleophilic substitutions below. Vigorous conditions are required for methoxylation (110°, 17 hr, quantitative yield) of 3-bromocinnoline and for amination (aqueous ammonia, copper sulfate, 20 hr, high yield) of 3-bromo- (at 130°) or of 3-chloro-derivatives (at 165°). 3,4-Dichlorocinnoline gives predominantly 4-substitution in hydra-zination (90% yield, 20°, 4 days in alcohol), amination (70% yield, 150°, 22 hr in alcohol), and hydroxylation (50% yield, 150°, 22 hr, aqueous ammonia). The poorer-leaving phenoxy group in 3-chloro-4-phenoxycinnoline, is displaced with ammonium acetate (160°, few mins, 60% yield). ... 

The mechanism for the lipase-catalyzed reaction of an acid derivative with a nucleophile (alcohol, amine, or thiol) is known as a serine hydrolase mechanism (Scheme 7.2). The active site of the enzyme is constituted by a catalytic triad (serine, aspartic, and histidine residues). The serine residue accepts the acyl group of the ester, leading to an acyl-enzyme activated intermediate. This acyl-enzyme intermediate reacts with the nucleophile, an amine or ammonia in this case, to yield the final amide product and leading to the free biocatalyst, which can enter again into the catalytic cycle. A histidine residue, activated by an aspartate side chain, is responsible for the proton transference necessary for the catalysis. Another important factor is that the oxyanion hole, formed by different residues, is able to stabilize the negatively charged oxygen present in both the transition state and the tetrahedral intermediate. 

The first step of NCA polymerization is usually accomplished by the use of nucleophilic initiators. These initiators can be alkoxides, alcohols, amines, transition metals, and even water [53,54]. In order to synthesize a copolymer diblock, the polymerization of the second block and its connection to the previously formed block are performed in a single process. This is achieved by initiating the polymerization of the second NCA monomer using the first homopolypeptide as a macroinitiator. Precipitation and purification processes follow to isolate the... 

An amino alcohol can be formed in situ by the reaction of an iV-formylpiperizine 79 with epoxide 78 which then can be induced to cyclize to give the spiroaziridinium salt 80 (Equation 17) <2004TL4175>. The spiroaziridinium was not isolated but instead trapped by reaction with an amine nucleophile (cf. Section 12.20.6.1). 

Transition metal isocyanide complexes can undergo reactions with nucleophiles to generate carbene complexes. Pt(II) and Pd(II) complexes have been most extensively investigated, and the range of nucleophilic reagents employed in these reactions has included alcohols, amines, and thiols (56) ... 

The proposed catalytic cycle of the ruthenium-catalyzed intermolecular Alder-ene reaction is shown in Scheme 21 (cycle A) and proceeds via ruthenacyclopentane 100. Support for this mechanism is derived from the observation that the intermediate can be trapped intramolecularly by an alcohol or amine nucleophile to form the corresponding five-or six-membered heterocycle (Scheme 21, cycle B and Equation (66)).74,75 Four- and seven-membered rings cannot be formed via this methodology, presumably because the competing /3-hydride elimination is faster than interception of the transition state for these substrates, 101 and 102, only the formal Alder-ene product is observed (Equations (67) and (68)). 

The linear telomerization reaction of dienes was one of the very first processes catalyzed by water soluble phosphine complexes in aqueous media [7,8]. The reaction itself is the dimerization of a diene coupled with a simultaneous nucleophilic addition of HX (water, alcohols, amines, carboxylic acids, active methylene compounds, etc.) (Scheme 7.3). It is catalyzed by nickel- and palladium complexes of which palladium catalysts are substantially more active. In organic solutions [Pd(OAc)2] + PPhs gives the simplest catalyst combination and Ni/IPPTS and Pd/TPPTS were suggested for mnning the telomerizations in aqueous/organic biphasic systems [7]. An aqueous solvent would seem a straightforward choice for telomerization of dienes with water (the so-called hydrodimerization). In fact, the possibility of separation of the products and the catalyst without a need for distillation is a more important reason in this case, too. 

There is now convincing evidence that an acyl chymotrypsin intermediate is formed from both specific and non-specific substrates (Bender and Kezdy, 1964 Bender et al., 1964). This intermediate is undoubtedly an acylserine. Acyl- and phosphorylserine derivatives have been isolated and identified. In view of evidence such as a D2 O solvent isotope effect ( h2oAd2o) 2-3 for both acylation and deacylation (Bender and Hamilton, 1962), alcohol and amine nucleophiles showing little dependence on the p/iTa-value of the nucleophile in reaction with furoyl enzyme (Inward and Jencks, 1965), and the influence of increasing steric bulk in the acyl group (Fife and Milstien, 1967 Milstien and Fife, 1968,.1969), consistent... 

Nucleophilic additions of alcohols, amines, thiols, and selenols to Group 8 buta-trienylidene intermediates [M]=C=C=C=CR2 have also been used in the preparation of stable heteroatom-conjugated allenylidene complexes. Thus, activation of trimethylsilyl-l,3-butadiyne HC=C-C=CSiMe3 by the iron(II) complex [FeClCp (dppe)], in methanol and in the presence of NaBPh4, resulted in the high-yield formation of the methoxy-allenylidene [FeCp =C=C=C(OMe)Me ... 

Although the initial report included amine nucleophiles, the scope was limited to activated amines such as indole (which actually undergoes C-alkylation at the 3-position), phthalimide, and 7/-methylaniline. Furthermore, enantioselectivities were inferior to those observed with alcohols as nucleophiles. Lautens and Fagnou subsequently discovered a profound halide effect in these reactions. The exchange of the chloride for an iodide on the rhodium catalyst resulted in an increased enantioselectivity that is now comparable to levels achieved with alcoholic nucleophiles ... 

Scheldt and co-workers have synthesized similar products using this reaction manifold [112], While results are limited to primary and secondary alcohols, the authors provided a single example of the use of an amine nucleophile. The reaction of cinnamaldehyde 187 and P-amino alkylidene malonate 188 provide amide product 189, albeit in moderate yield Eq. 18. 

Many new sugar based products present the advantage of being non-toxic and biodegradable. The products resulting from the telomerization of 1 with appropriate nucleophiles such as alcohols, amines, water, or carbon dioxide serve generally as useful intermediates in the synthesis of various natural products and fine chemicals [60-63], as precursors for plasticizer alcohols [56, 64], components of diesel fuels [65], surfactants [11, 66], corrosions inhibitors, and non-volatile herbicides [67]. 

Dimethyl-2-vmyl-5(4/i/)-oxazolone (VDMO) 140 and 4,4-dimethyl-2-isopro-penyl-5(4//)-oxazolone 328 have been extensively investigated as monomers (Fig. 7.32). Copolymeiization of 140 or 328 with other monomers, for example, acrylates or acrylamides produces reactive polymers that are conveniently further modified by nucleophilic reaction with alcohols, amines, or other nucleophiles. ""... 

The fate of the acyl palladium complex depends on the circumstances. In the presence of a suitable nucleophile (alcohol, amine) it is converted into the corresponding carboxylic acid derivative. The side product, a palladium hydride is converted to the active form of the catalyst in a reductive elimination step, resulting in the formation of an equimolar amount of acid, which is quenched by an added base (in most cases the excess of the nucleophile). 

When the Pd bears chiral ligands, these reactions can be enantioselective.1448 ir-Allylmo-lybdenum compounds behave similarly.1449 Because palladium compounds are expensive, a catalytic synthesis, which uses much smaller amounts of the complex, was developed. That is, a substrate such as an allylic acetate, alcohol, amine, or nitro compound1450 is treated with the nucleophile, and a catalytic amount of a palladium salt is added. The rr-allylpal-ladium complex is generated in situ. Alkene-palladium complexes (introducing the nucleophile at a vinylic rather than an allylic carbon) can also be used.1451... 

A halogen directly attached to the 1,2,4-triazine ring is very reactive and can be replaced by most other nucleophiles as outlined in Scheme 9. Tlie reactivity toward neutral nucleophiles decreases from the 5-position to the 3- and 6-positions, while that towards anionic nucleophiles decreases from the 5-position to the 6- and 3-positions. Among nucleophiles which displace halogen atoms are water, alcohols, amines, hydrazine, hydroxyl-amine, thiols and hydrogen sulfide. It is also reported that the bromine in 6-bromo-1,2,4-triazine-3,5-dione can be replaced by fluorine (323) or by a cyano group (324).
