A.ldehyde Syntheses. Aromatic (Ar) carboxylic acids are reduced to the corresponding aldehydes by a sequence of steps known as the McFadyen-Stevens reaction. The acid is converted to the hydrazide, derivatized with benzenesulfonylchloride, then decomposed to the aldehyde in hot glycol in the presence of a base ...

Hydrazine and its derivatives find considerable use in the synthesis of biologically active materials, dyestuff intermediates and other organic derivatives. Reactions of aldehydes to form hydrazides (RCH=NNH2) and azines (RCH=NN=CHR) are well known in organic chemistry, as is the use of hydrazine and its derivatives in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. 

Aziridinium ion-based click chemistry provides convenient access to pyrazolo[l,2-ajpyrazoles, active inhibitors of penicillin-binding proteins [58, 59]. Ring-opening of aziridinium ions 32 at the benzylic position with hydrazine, followed by intramolecular cyclization, gave pyrazolidin-3-ones 37 in excellent yields (Scheme 12.27). Heating of the hydrazides 37 with aromatic aldehydes at reflux in absolute... 

Polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and other glycoconjugates therefore may be specifically labeled on their carbohydrate portions by creating aldehyde functionalities and subsequently derivatizing them with another molecule containing an amine or a hydrazide group. This route of derivatization is probably the most common way of modifying carbohydrates. 

Amine functionalities also may be created on polysaccharides (Section 4.3, this chapter). The reducing ends of carbohydrate molecules (or generated aldehydes) may be reacted with small diamine compounds to yield short alkylamine spacers that can be used for subsequent conjugation reactions. Hydrazide groups may be similarly created using f z s-hydrazide compounds (Sections 4.5 and 4.6, this chapter). 

Figure 1.107 The N-terminal aldehyde group on a peptide formed from periodate oxidation of serine or threonine residues can be conjugated with a hydrazide-containing molecule to produce a hydrazone bond.

Aldehyde-containing macromolecules will react spontaneously with hydrazide compounds to form hydrazone linkages. The hydrazone bond is a form of Schiff base that is more stable than the Schiff base formed from the interaction of an aldehyde and an amine. The hydrazone, however, may be reduced and further stabilized by the same reductants utilized for reductive amination purposes (Chapter 3, Section 4.8). The addition of sodium cyanoborohydride to a hydrazide-aldehyde reaction drives the equilibrium toward formation of a stable covalent complex. Mallia (1992) found that adipic acid dihydrazide derivatization of periodate-oxidized dextran (containing multiple formyl functionalities) proceeds with much greater yield when sodium cyanoborohydride is present. 

Figure 1.108 Glycoproteins that have been treated with sodium periodate to produce aldehyde groups can be further modified with adipic acid dihydrazide to result in a hydrazide derivative.

Carboxylic acids may be covalently modified with adipic acid dihydrazide or carbohydrazide to yield stable imide bonds with extending terminal hydrazide groups. Hydrazide functionalities don t spontaneously react with carboxylate groups the way they do with aldehyde groups (Section 4.5, this chapter). In this case, the carboxylic acid first must be activated with another compound that makes it reactive toward nucleophiles. In organic solutions, this may be accomplished by using a water-insoluble carbodiimide (Chapter 3, Section 1.4) or by creating an intermediate active ester, such as an NHS ester (Chapter 2, Section 1.4). 

Derivatives of hydrazine, especially the hydrazide compounds formed from carboxylate groups, can react specifically with aldehyde or ketone functional groups in target molecules. Reaction with either group creates a hydrazone linkage (Reaction 44)—a type of Schiff base. This bond is relatively stable if it is formed with a ketone, but somewhat labile if the reaction is with an aldehyde group. However, the reaction rate of hydrazine derivatives with aldehydes typically is faster than the rate with ketones. Hydrazone formation with aldehydes, however, results in much more stable bonds than the easily reversible Schiff base interaction of an amine with an aldehyde. To further stabilize the bond between a hydrazide and an aldehyde, the hydrazone may be reacted with sodium cyanoborohydride to reduce the double bond and form a secure covalent linkage.
