Aldehydes aryl, preparation

Because the phosphonate-phosphate rearrangement requires P-C bond breakage and formation of the P-O bond kinetic isotope studies by means of 13C NMR were chosen.50 13C KIEs were derived from NMR analysis of substrate-o-nitro-benzaldehyde or product-phosphate. Samples of aldehyde were prepared using the dead-end method. To the solution of phosphite 3 and triethylamine in acetonitrile an excess of aldehyde was added and solution was heated at 65°C to complete conversion of phosphonate 4 to phosphate 5 monitored by 31P NMR. The aldehyde conversions 0.2-0.8 were calculated from the balance of concentrations. The changes of 13C composition were determined for carbonyl carbon atom using signal of meta aryl carbon as an internal standard. KIE 1.0223(14) was calculated from the slope of linear relationship of isotopic ratio R and fraction of reaction,... 

Pd-catalyzed decarbonylation of aldehydes has been well-known. Also, Pd-catalyzed hydrofonnylation of alkenes to fonn aldehydes was reported, althongh the major reaction was hydrogenation to give alkanes. Aromatic aldehydes are prepared by the carbonyla-tion of aryl halides in the presence of H2 or other hydrides. Thus, Pd catalyzes both formation and decarbonylation of aldehydes (Scheme 10). 

Tetrazoles.—Both 1-phenyltetrazole (708) and 2-phenyl tetrazole are protonated at N-4. " 5-Aryl-4-p-dimethylaminophenyl-tetrazoles are formed by the action of hydrazoic acid on AT-p-dimethylaminophenyl-nitrones ArCH=N(0)-QH4NMe2. Tetrazole-5-aldehyde (709), prepared by the action of hydrazoic acid on the acetal (EtO)2CHCN, exists as the dimer (710) in the solid state it reacts with piperidine to give the betaine (711). The carbodi-imide (712) rearranges to the tetrazole (713) on heating. The formation of the 5-diphenyl-amino-tetrazoles (715) by treatment of the chloroiminium chlorides (714) with... 

Aldehydes can also be prepared by the carbonylation of aryl and alkenyl halides and triflate, and benzyl and allyl chlorides using tin hydride as a hydride source and Pd(PhjP)4 as a catalyst[377]. Hydrosilancs arc used as another hydride source[378]. The arenediazonium tetralluoroborate 515 is converted into a benzaldehyde derivative rapidly in a good yield by using Et ,SiH or PH MS as the hydride source[379]. 

Nitriles contain the —C=N functional group We have already discussed the two mam procedures by which they are prepared namely the nucleophilic substitution of alkyl halides by cyanide and the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to cyanohydrins Table 20 6 reviews aspects of these reactions Neither of the reactions m Table 20 6 is suitable for aryl nitriles (ArC=N) these compounds are readily prepared by a reaction to be dis cussed m Chapter 22... 

Synthesis and Properties. Polyquinolines are formed by the step-growth polymerization of o-aminophenyl (aryl) ketone monomers and ketone monomers with alpha hydrogens (mosdy acetophenone derivatives). Both AA—BB and AB-type polyquinolines are known as well as a number of copolymers. Polyquinolines have often been prepared by the Friedlander reaction (88), which involves either an acid- or a base-catalyzed condensation of an (9-amino aromatic aldehyde or ketone with a ketomethylene compound, producing quinoline. Surveys of monomers and their syntheses and properties have beenpubhshed (89—91). 

Reductive amination (Section 22.10) Reaction of ammonia or an amine with an aldehyde or a ketone in the presence of a reducing agent is an effective method for the preparation of primary, secondary, or tertiary amines. The reducing agent may be either hydrogen in the presence of a metal catalyst or sodium cyanoborohy-dride. R, R, and R" may be either alkyl or aryl. 

In an approach to opioid receptor ligands,diazabicyclononanones were prepared in a double Petrenko-Kritschenko reaction. Diester 76, in the presence of methylamine and aryl aldehydes, was converted to piperidone 77. This was immediately resubmitted to the reaction conditions however, in this iteration formaldehyde replaced the aryl aldehyde component. The outcome of this reaction produced 78 which was further investigated for its use in rheumatoid arthritis. 

In 1883, Bottinger described the reaction of aniline and pyruvic acid to yield a methylquinolinecarboxylic acid. He found that the compound decarboxylated and resulted in a methylquinoline, but made no effort to determine the position of either the carboxylic acid or methyl group. Four years later, Doebner established the first product as 2-methylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid (8) and the second product as 2- methylquinoline (9). Under the reaction conditions (refluxing ethanol), pyruvic acid partially decarboxylates to provide the required acetaldehyde in situ. By adding other aldehydes at the beginning of the reaction, Doebner found he was able to synthesize a variety of 2-substituted quinolines. While the Doebner reaction is most commonly associated with the preparation of 2-aryl quinolines, in this primary communication Doebner reported the successful use of several alkyl aldehydes in the quinoline synthesis. 

Recently, a one-pot method for preparation of 2-aryl-1,5-benzotelluroazepines 60 has been developed based on the reaction of sodium 2-aminophenyltellurolate [from di(o-aminophenyl) ditelluride) with arylpropargyl aldehydes (99MI1). Considering the high affinity of supemucleophilic aryltellurolate anions to a triple bond, one may assume that at the first stage of this reaction arylvinyl tellurides 61 are formed. Cyclization of 61 spontaneously or on silica gel in a chromatographic column forms the heterocycles 60. 

Substituents R, R at the starting oxime 1 can be H, alkyl, or aryl. The reaction conditions for the Beckmann rearrangement often are quite drastic (e.g. concentrated sulfuric acid at 120 °C), which generally limits the scope to less sensitive substrates. The required oxime can be easily prepared from the respective aldehyde or ketone and hydroxylamine. 

The hydrazones 1 used as starting materials are easily prepared by reaction of an aldehyde or ketone 8 with an aryl hydrazine 7 ... 

While the Friedel-Crafts acylation is a general method for the preparation of aryl ketones, and of wide scope, there is no equivalently versatile reaction for the preparation of aryl aldehydes. There are various formylation procedures known, each of limited scope. In addition to the reactions outlined above, there is the Vdsmeier reaction, the Reimer-Tiemann reaction, and the Rieche formylation reaction The latter is the reaction of aromatic compounds with 1,1-dichloromethyl ether as formylating agent in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. This procedure has recently gained much importance. 

The Schmidt reaction of ketones works best with aliphatic and alicyclic ketones alkyl aryl ketones and diaryl ketones are considerably less reactive. The reaction is only seldom applied to aldehydes as starting materials. The hydrazoic acid used as reagent is usually prepared in situ by treatment of sodium azide with sulfuric acid. Hydrazoic acid is highly toxic, and can detonate upon contact with hot laboratory equipment. 

Allylmetal reagents which hear alkyl or aryl groups at both termini are stereogenic and usually add aldehydes w ith a high degree of reagent-induced stereoselectivity (Section D.3.3.1.5.1.). Some of these reagents have been prepared in enantiomerically enriched form and used in enantioselective synthesis. Table 4 collects some representative examples. 

In Figure 13.2, the intensity of the ion at m/z 170 represents a molecular ion of an aromatic compound. The characteristic losses from the molecular ion (M - 1, M - 28, and M - 29) suggest an aromatic aldehyde, phenol, or aryl ether. The molecular formula of Ci2H 0O is suggested by the molecular ion at m/z 170, which can be either a biphenyl ether or a phenylphenol. The simplest test to confirm the structure is to prepare a TMS derivative, even though m/z 11 strongly indicates the diaryl ether. 

Dihydropyrans [71] and 4-dihydropyranones [72] have been prepared by BF3 or Me2AlCl catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions of alkyl and aryl aldehydes with dienes 72 and 73 (Equations 3.20 and 3.21). Allylic bis-silanes are useful building blocks for synthesizing molecules of biological interest [73], 4-Pyra-nones have been obtained by cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN) oxidation of the cycloadducts. 

A number of microwave-assisted multicomponent methods for the synthesis of imidazoles have been reported [68-71 ]. The irradiation of a 1,2-diketone and aldehyde with ammonium acetate in acetic acid for 5 min at 180 °C in a single-mode reactor provides alkyl-, aryl-, and heteroaryl-substituted imidazoles 39 in excellent yield (Scheme 14) and this method has been used for the rapid and efficient preparation of two biologically active imidazoles, lepidiline B and trifenagrel [68].
