Aluminum complexes amines

Benzamidines aluminum complexes were prepared, by adding benzoyl chloride to a mixture of 10% NaOH and 2,6-diisopropylaniline followed by chlorination with thionyl chloride and treatment with aryl amine yielded the corresponding amidine compounds, further reacting with AlMe to form 37-42 complexes (Scheme 6.8) [53]. The X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the complex 38 is monomeric with distorted tetrahedral geometry at the aluminum center (Figure 6.2) [53],... 

The alkyl-aluminum complexes 54-58 were derived from the amine ligands, prepared by modifying the 1,2-diaminocyclohexane which was initially mono-protected and treated with an equivalent of an aldehyde and subsequent reduction generated an amine. This was treated with another equivalent of aldehyde to form the salalen ligand (Scheme 6.11) [56].

Shibasaki has described the use of bifunctional catalysis in asymmetric Strecker reactions, using BlNOL-derived Lewis acid-Lewis base catalyst 160 (Equation 24) [114]. The aluminum complex had previously been shown to catalyze enantioselective cyanohydrin formation (Chapter 2, Section 2.9) [115]. In the proposed catalytic cycle, the imine is activated by the Lewis acidic aluminum while TMSCN undergoes activation by association of the silyl group with the Lewis basic phosphine oxide. Interestingly, the addition of phenol as a putative proton source was beneficial in facilitating catalyst turnover. The nature of the amine employed for the formation of the N-substituted aldimine proved to be vital for enantioselectivity, with optimal results obtained for N-fluorenyl imines such as 159, derived from aliphatic, unsaturated, and aromatic aldehydes (70-96% ee) [114],... 

Other Compounds. Primary and secondary amines add 1,4- to isoprene (75). For example, dimetbylamine in ben2ene reacts with isoprene in the presence of sodium or potassium to form dimetby1(3-metby1-2-buteny1)amine. Similar results are obtained with diethylamine, pyrroHdine, and piperidine. Under the same conditions, aniline and /V-metbylaniline do not react. Isoprene reacts with phenol in the presence of aluminum phenoxide (76) or concentrated phosphoric acid (77) to give complex products. 

The milder metal hydnde reagents are also used in stereoselective reductions Inclusion complexes of amine-borane reagent with cyclodexnins reduce ketones to opucally active alcohols, sometimes in modest enantiomeric excess [59] (equation 48). Diisobutylaluminum hydride modified by zmc bromide-MMA. A -tetra-methylethylenediamme (TMEDA) reduces a,a-difluoro-[i-hydroxy ketones to give predominantly erythro-2,2-difluoro-l,3-diols [60] (equation 49). The three isomers are formed on reduction with aluminum isopropoxide... 

Nickel(O) reacts with the olefin to form a nickel(0)-olefin complex, which can also coordinate the alkyl aluminum compound via a multicenter bond between the nickel, the aluminum and the a carbon atom of the trialkylaluminum. In a concerted reaction the aluminum and the hydride are transferred to the olefin. In this mechanistic hypothesis the nickel thus mostly serves as a template to bring the olefin and the aluminum compound into close proximity. No free Al-H or Ni-H species is ever formed in the course of the reaction. The adduct of an amine-stabihzed dimethylaluminum hydride and (cyclododecatriene)nickel, whose structure was determined by X-ray crystallography, was considered to serve as a model for this type of mechanism since it shows the hydride bridging the aluminum and alkene-coordinated nickel center [31]. 

Complexes of tetravalent zirconium with organic acids, such as citric, tartaric, malic, and lactic acids, and a complex of aluminum and citric acid have been claimed to be active as dispersants. The dispersant is especially useful in dispersing bentonite suspensions [288]. Polymers with amine sulfide terminal moieties are synthesized by using aminethiols as chain transfer agents in aqueous addition polymerizations. The polymers are useful as mineral dispersants [1182]. 

Reduction of Poly(2-cyano-l,3-phenylene arylene ether), 20 Twenty-five mL of a 1.0 M solution of lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) in THF was cooled to 0° C before adding a solution of 1.64 g (5.0 meg) of 20 in 120 mL of THF. The resultant slurry was stirred for 24 h at 0° C, refluxed for 1 h, recooled to 5° C, and the excess LAH decomposed with 2 mL of water. The volume of the solution was reduced to 25 mL before pouring the mixture into 500 mL of 5% HC1 to dissociate the amine aluminum salt complex and precipitate the polymer. The polymer was recovered by filtration, reslurried in 20 mL of water and the pH adjusted to 9.0 with NaOH. After recovery of the neutralized polymer was recovered, it was dried in vacuo redissolved in CHC13, and reprecipitated using water as the nonsolvent. Final drying in vacuo for 24 h at 35° C left 1.2 g (72.3%) of poly[oxy-l,4-phenylene-(l-methylethylidene)-l, 4 -phenylene-oxy-(2"-aminomethyl)-l",3"-phenylene], 21, [n] (CHCI3) 0.3 dl/g. 

A slightly more complex Scheme is required for preparation of an antihistaminic agent bearing a secondary amine, e. g., tofenacin (32). In the synthesis of tofenacin, alkylation of the benzhydrol (29) with ethyl bromoacetate affords the alkoxy ester (30) saponification followed by conversion to the methylamide gives (31), which is reduced with lithium aluminum hydride to complete the synthesis of 32. 10... 

A rather complex fused isoindoline (87) has been found to show good anorectic activity. This substance differs from other anorectic agents by not being a p-phenethylamine analogue. Preparation of this compound starts by reaction of a substituted benzoyl-benzoic acid (82) with ethylene diamine. The product (84) can be rationalized as being the aminal from the initially obtained monoamide 83. This is then subjected to reduction with lithium aluminum hydride...

Although the ECL phenomenon is associated with many compounds, only four major chemical systems have so far been used for analytical purposes [9, 10], i.e., (1) the ECL of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in aqueous and nonaqueous media (2) methods based on the luminol reaction in an alkaline solution where the luminol can be electrochemically produced in the presence of the other ingredients of the CL reaction (3) methods based on the ECL reactions of rutheni-um(II) tra(2,2 -bipyridinc) complex, which is used as an ECL label for other non-ECL compounds such as tertiary amines or for the quantitation of persulfates and oxalate (this is the most interesting type of chemical system of the four) and (4) systems based on analytical properties of cathodic luminescence at an oxide-coated aluminum electrode.
