Amides disubstituted

Quite recently,the anionic homopolymerization of a few substituted p-lactams and the copolymerization of some of the above pairs have been smdied in order to prepare polyamide 3-derived polypeptides displaying biological properties. The solution polymerization or copolymerization, initiated by li amide disubstituted with trrmethylsilyl groups and activated with 4-tert-butylbenzoyl chloride, does not have living character. From that study, some insights emerged into the reactivity of the above p-lactams in terms of their acidities, as well as electrophUidty of the imide end groups. 

In the reverse reaction, thioheteroaryl amides reacted under reflux in alcohol with haloketones or aldehydes to give the corresponding 2-heteroarylthiazole derivatives (238, 271, 482, 550, 751, 765, 776, 781). 2,2 -Bithiazoles (4,4 -disubstituted) have been obtained in 80 to 90% yield by cyclocondensation of 1 mole rubeanic acid with 2 moles of a-bromoketones in polyphosphoric acid at 95 to 135 C (780). Some multiheteroaryl substituted thiazoles have been also reported (704). 

Secondary amines (R2NH) yield N N disubstituted amides (R CNR2)... 

The chemical reactions of DMAC are typical of those of disubstituted amides. Under suitable conditions, DMAC will react as follows ... 

Substituted Amides. Monosubstituted and disubstituted amides can be synthesized with or without solvents from fatty acids and aLkylamines. Fatty acids, their esters, and acid halides can be converted to substituted amides by reaction with primary or secondary aLkylamines, arylamines, polyamines, or hydroxyaLkylamines (30). Di- -butylamine reacts with oleic acid (2 1 mole ratio) at 200—230°C and 1380 kPa (200 psi) to produce di-A/-butyloleamide. Entrained water with excess -butylamine is separated for recycling later (31). 

The 5,6-amide function has been found to be unusually reactive in the 2,4-disubstituted pteridin-6-one series, forming the corresponding 6-alkoxy derivatives, e.g. (141), with alcoholic HCl directly (62CB755, 70CB735). 

Benzisothiazoles are best prepared by oxidative cyclization of o-aminothiobenz-amides (see Section 4.17.9.1.1), reaction of o-toluidines with thionyl chloride (see Section 4.17.9.2.1) or by sulfuration of 2,1-benzisoxazoles (see Section 4.17.10.2). 1,2-Benzisothiazoles can also be prepared from o-disubstituted benzene compounds, cyclodehydration of o-mercaptobenzaldoximes or oxidative cyclization of p-mercaptobenzylamines (see Section 4.17.9.1.1) being the most convenient. Both series of benzo compounds are readily substituted at the 5- and 7-positions by electrophilic reagents. 

Alkyltrifluorosilanes and disubstituted difluorosilanes are themselves quite reactive with nucleophiles such as lithium amide bases [102, 103 104], alkyl-lithium reagents [1051, Gngnard reagents [105], or alkoxides [105] (equations 82 and 83)... 

Fc(CO)5] reacts similarly. Aldehydes and ketones can also be obtained from N,N-disubstituted amides, and symmetrical ketones are formed by reaction with CO ... 

In 1949, Comforth showed that preparation of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles was not limited to diaryloxazoles through condensation of aldehydes (benzaldehyde, n-hept-aldehyde) with a-hydroxy-amides (lactamide). The intermediate oxazolidone 13 were converted into oxazoles 14 on warming with phosphoryl chloride. ... 

Such an easy isomerization of acetylenylbenzoic acid amides implies the formation of a five-membered nonaromatic ring condensed with the pyrazole ring. However, the pyrazole analog of o-iodobenzamide (amide of 4-iodo-l-methylpyrazole-3-carboxylic acid) formed under heating with CuC=CPh in pyridine for 9 h only the disubstituted acetylene in 71 % yield is identical in all respects to the compound obtained from the corresponding acid by successive action of SOCI2 and NH3 (90IZV2089) (Scheme 126). 

Instead of a-halo esters, related reactants can be used e.g. the a-halo derivatives of ketones, nitriles, sulfones and A,A-disubstituted amides. The Darzens condensation is also of some importance as a synthetic method because a glycidic acid can be converted into the next higher homolog of the original aldehyde, or into a branched aldehyde (e.g. 5) if the original carbonyl substrate was a ketone ... 

The Willgerodt reaction yields amides 2 as products, while the Willgerodt-Kindler reaction yields N,N-disubstituted thioamides 5. Both types of products can be converted to the corresponding carboxylic acid 6 by alkaline hydrolysis. 

Conversion of Acid Halides into Amides Aminolysis Acid chlorides react rapidly with ammonia and amines to give amides. As with the acid chloride plus alcohol method for preparing esters, this reaction of acid chlorides with amines is the most commonly used laboratory method for preparing amides. Both monosubstituted and disubstituted amines can be used, but not trisubstituted amines (R3N). 

Amides are usually prepared by reaction of an acid chloride with an amine (Section 21.4). Ammonia monosubstituted amineS and disubstituted amines all undergo the reaction. 

In contrast, A, JV-diethyl-3-(methylsulfanyl)-5-phenyl-3//-azepin-2-amine (22) on treatment with methyl or benzyl halides and potassium amide in liquid ammonia undergoes alkylation solely at the masked benzylic 5-position to yield 4,4-disubstituted 4//-azepines, e.g. 23.224... 

The electrochemical oxidation of cyclic and acyclic, V-monosubstitilted and ATY-disubstituted amides and carbamates in a nucleophilic solvent, known as the Ross-Eberson-Ny berg reaction, is a synthetically very useful, clean and efficient method for the introduction of a-oxygen substituents under mild reaction conditions6 1 0. 

Closely related to enolate additions to enones is the diastereoselective 1,4-addition of lithium enolates of esters, thioesters and amides to a,/ -unsaturated esters. These reactions provide syn-or ar /-2,3-disubstituted glutarates (pentanedioates). 

Gramstad and coworkers78 studied the formation of association complexes between CHC13 and N, N-disubstituted amides, four alkyl sulphoxides and diethyl sulphite in CC14 by following the JH NMR. The association constants (Afass) were determined by equation ll79,... 

Racemic a-amino amides and a-hydroxy amides have been hydrolyzed enantio-selectively by amidases. Both L-selective and o-selective amidases are known. For example, a purified L-selective amidase from Ochrobactrum anthropi combines a very broad substrate specificity with a high enantioselectivity on a-hydrogen and a,a-disubstituted a-amino acid amides, a-hydroxyacid amides, and a-N-hydroxya-mino acid amides [102]. A racemase (a-amino-e-caprolactam racemase, EC 5.1.1.15) converts the o-aminopeptidase-catalyzed hydrolysis of a-amino acid amides into a DKR (Figure 6.38) [103]. 

The treatment of acyl halides with ammonia or amines is a very general reaction for the preparation of amides.The reaction is highly exothermic and must be carefully controlled, usually by cooling or dilution. Ammonia gives unsubstituted amides, primary amines give A-substituted amides, and secondary amines give N,N-disubstituted amides. Arylamines can be similarly acylated. In some cases aqueous...
