Amide formation acid chloride

Esterification, Amidation, and Acid Chloride Formation. Amino acids undergo these common reactions of the carboxyl group with due regard for the need for A/-protection. 

As these mechanisms show, the formation of amides from acid chlorides and amines is accompanied by production of one equivalent of HCI, which needs to be neutralized by a second equivalent of amine. An alternative method for making amides is to carry out the reaction in the presence of another base, such as lMaOH. which then does the job of neutralizing the HCI. The trouble is, OH" also attacks acy chlorides to... 

Which reactions are useful for a ring-closing reaction In principle, aU reactions can be used. All irreversible reactions may be used in kinetically controlled cyclizations. However, it is advisable to use reactions which possess a decent reaction rate because the dilution and the potentially slow addition of one or more starting material to the reaction mixture lead to long reaction times anyway. Prominent reactions used for kinetically controlled macrocychzations are nucleophilic substitutions as for instance found in Williamson ether syntheses (for an example see the product shown in Figure 7.10) or the formation of amides from acid chlorides and amines (see Figure 7.8). 

As these mechanisms show, the formation of amides from acid chlorides and amines is accompanied by production of one equivalent of HCI, which needs to be neutralized by a second equivalent of amine. An alternative method for making amides is to carry out the reaction in the presence of another base, such as NaOH, which then does the job of neutralizing the HCI. The trouble is, OH- also attacks acyl chlorides to give carboxylic acids. Schotten and Baumann, in the late nineteenth century, published a way round this problem by carrying out these reactions in two-phase systems of immiscible water and dichloromethane.The organic amine (not necessarily ammonia) and the acyl chloride remain in the (lower) dichloromethane layer, while the base (NaOH) remains in the (upper) aqueous layer. Dichloromethane and chloroform are two common organic solvents that are heavier (more dense) than water. The acyl chloride reacts only with the amine, but the HCI produced can dissolve in, and be neutralized by, the aqueous solution of NaOH. 

Ether carboxylic acids are able to undergo the same reactions as fatty acids, e.g. esterification, and the formation of amides and acid chlorides. This leads to a great variety of different structures for tailoring the desired properties.

Acylating agents that have been employed are carbon dioxide, alkyl chloroformates, alkyl formates, acid chlorides, esters, benzonitrile and dimethylformamide the expected a< lation products from reaction with the above reagents were formed in each case. However, the NJN-dimethyl-amide derivatives of higher carboxylic adds did not yield acylated product as in the case of dimethylformamide . When R = H (equation 63), it was necessary to employ two equivalents of the lithiodithiane due to product enolate formation. 

Hydroxamic acid formation resembles amide formation (pp. 117-119) and therefore certain other classes of substances will respond to the test, e.g., acid chlorides and acid anhydrides, but these substances are readily distinguished by other reactions. 

As with polyesters, the amidation reaction of acid chlorides may be carried out in solution because of the enhanced reactivity of acid chlorides compared with carboxylic acids. A technique known as interfacial polymerization has been employed for the formation of polyamides and other step-growth polymers, including polyesters, polyurethanes, and polycarbonates. In this method the polymerization is carried out at the interface between two immiscible solutions, one of which contains one of the dissolved reactants, while the second monomer is dissolved in the other. Figure 5.7 shows a polyamide film forming at the interface between an aqueous solution of a diamine layered on a solution of a diacid chloride in an organic solvent. In this form interfacial polymerization is part of the standard repertoire of chemical demonstrations. It is sometimes called the nylon rope trick because of the filament of nylon produced by withdrawing the collapsed film. 

Reactions of the carboxyl group include salt and acid chloride formation, esterification, pyrolysis, reduction, and amide, nitrile, and amine formation. Salt formation occurs when the carboxyUc acid reacts with an alkaline substance (22)... 

Chemical Properties. Like neopentanoic acid, neodecanoic acid, C2QH2QO2, undergoes reactions typical of carboxyHc acids. For example, neodecanoic acid is used to prepare acid chlorides, amides (76), and esters (7,11,77,78), and, like neopentanoic acid, is reduced to give alcohols and alkanes (21,24). One area of reaction chemistry that is different from the acids is the preparation of metal salts. Both neopentanoic acid and neodecanoic acid, like all carboxyHc acids, can form metal salts. However, in commercial appHcations, metal salt formation is much more important for neodecanoic acid than it is for neopentanoic acid. 

Condensa.tlon, This term covers all processes, not previously iacluded ia other process definitions, where water or hydrogen chloride is eliminated ia a reaction involving the combination of two or more molecules. The important condensation reactions are nitrogen and sulfur heterocycle formation, amide formation from acid chlorides, formation of substituted diphenyl amines, and misceUaneous cyclizations. 

Reactions of vinylogous amides with methanesulfonyl chloride also led to the formation of six-membered rings. Here the initial attack on oxygen produces a zwitterionic intermediate which can collapse to an enol sulfonic acid lactone (383,469). 

A related agent, g1 icetanile sodium (42), is made b / a variant of this process. Methyl phenyl acetate is reacted with chlorosulfonic acid to give 38, which itself readily reacts with aminopyrimidine derivative 39 to give sulfonamide Saponification to acid 4 is followed by conversion to the acid chloride and amide formation with 5-chloro-2-methoxyaniline to complete the synthesis of the hypoglycemic agent glicetanile (42). ... 

The complex thioamide lolrestat (8) is an inhibitor of aldose reductase. This enzyme catalyzes the reduction of glucose to sorbitol. The enzyme is not very active, but in diabetic individuals where blood glucose levels can. spike to quite high levels in tissues where insulin is not required for glucose uptake (nerve, kidney, retina and lens) sorbitol is formed by the action of aldose reductase and contributes to diabetic complications very prominent among which are eye problems (diabetic retinopathy). Tolrestat is intended for oral administration to prevent this. One of its syntheses proceeds by conversion of 6-methoxy-5-(trifluoroniethyl)naphthalene-l-carboxyl-ic acid (6) to its acid chloride followed by carboxamide formation (7) with methyl N-methyl sarcosinate. Reaction of amide 7 with phosphorous pentasulfide produces the methyl ester thioamide which, on treatment with KOH, hydrolyzes to tolrestat (8) 2[. 

Many procedures for the formation of carboxylic acid amides are known in the literature. The most widely practiced method employs carboxylic acid chlorides as the electrophiles which react with the amine in the presence of an acid scavenger. Despite its wide scope, this protocol suffers from several drawbacks. Most notable are the limited stability of many acid chlorides and the need for hazardous reagents for their preparation (thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloride, phosgene etc.) which release corrosive and volatile by-products. Moreover, almost any other functional group in either reaction partner needs to be protected to ensure chemoselective amide formation.2 The procedure outlined above presents a convenient and catalytic alternative to this standard protocol. 

In most of the studies discussed above, except for the meta-linked diamines, when the aromatic content (dianhydride and diamine chain extender), of the copolymers were increased above a certain level, the materials became insoluble and infusible 153, i79, lsi) solution to this problem with minimum sacrifice in the thermal properties of the products has been the synthesis of siloxane-amide-imides183). In this approach pyromellitic acid chloride has been utilized instead of PMDA or BTDA and the copolymers were synthesized in two steps. The first step, which involved the formation of (siloxane-amide-amic acid) intermediate was conducted at low temperatures (0-25 °C) in THF/DMAC solution. After purification of this intermediate thin films were cast on stainless steel or glass plates and imidization was obtained in high temperature ovens between 100 and 300 °C following a similar procedure that was discussed for siloxane-imide copolymers. Copolymers obtained showed good solubility in various polar solvents. DSC studies indicated the formation of two-phase morphologies. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the thermal stability of these siloxane-amide-imide systems were comparable to those of siloxane-imide copolymers 183>. 

OS 10] [R 10] [P 9] The specific interfadal area was varied for a phase-transfer reaction for four amide formations from two amines and two acid chlorides [23[. This was done by filling the solutions in normal test-tubes of varying diameter (1-5 X cm ) and using a micro reactor which had the largest specific interface (45 X cm ). The yields of all foiu reactions are highly and similarly dependent on...

Furthermore, oxazoles of type 9-82 bearing a secondary amino functionality can be converted into pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridines 9-86 by reaction with appropriate acid chlorides 9-83 in a triple domino process consisting of amide formation/hetero Diels-Alder reaction and retro-Michael cycloreversion via 9-84 and 9-85 (Scheme 9.17). The pyrrolo[3,4-fc]pyridines can be obtained in even higher yields when the whole sequence is carried out as a four-component synthesis in toluene. Here, 1.5 equiv. NH4C1 must be added for the formation of the now intermediate oxazoles [56b].

Azetidones (p-lactams) are generally obtained in high yield from (3-halopropion-amides (Table 5.18) and the low yield from the reaction of N-phenyl (3-chloropropi-onamide can be reconciled with the isolation of A-phenyl acrylamide in 58% yield [34]. The unwanted elimination reaction can be obviated by conducting the cyclization in a soliddiquid system under high dilution [35, 36]. Azetidones are also formed by a predominant intramolecular cyclization of intermolecular dimerization to yield piperazine-2,5-diones, or intramolecular alkylation to yield aziridones. Aone-pot formation of azetidones in 45-58% yield from the amine and P-bromocarboxylic acid chloride has also been reported [38].
