Bicyclic aminals

Anthraquinonecarboxamide in its Sj state will photoadd two molecules of water. The photoreactions of diphenylhomobenzoquinones in the presence of amine donors have been studied. 1-Bromo substituted diphenylhomobenzoqui-none irradiated in the presence of triethylamine induces opening of the cyclopropane ring with formation of 2-diphenylmethyl-5-methyl-l,4-benzoquinone, and with dimethylaniline, a mixture of an aminated bicyclic dione and bis(p-dimethyl-aminophenyl)methane is produced. Irradiation of boron difluoride complexes derived from 1,3-diketones can lead to a number of different types of process, in particular exciplex formation and slow cycloaddition. Evidence has now been advanced to suggest that excitation of these complexes leads directly to an exciplex without the participation of an encounter complex, and that this solvolyses to free ions. 

Isocyanides are also utilized for the synthesis of amides,amines,bicyclic compounds, ring compounds of the size Cn-Ci5, formamides, heterocyclic compounds, serines, products of Michael addition,saturated and unsaturated cyclic derivatives of olefins, and heterobicyclic compounds. 

The thiones are readily desulfurized with Raney nickel to give the corresponding unsubstituted compounds in bicyclic systems in the 2-, 4- and 7-positions, and in tricyclic systems such as (95). The 2-methylthio derivatives may be similarly desulfurized. Thione groups in the 4-position, but not the 2-position, in pyrido-[2,3- f ]- and -[3,2- f]-pyrimidines may be replaced directly with ammonia or amines. 

The light-induced rearrangement of 2-phenyl- to 3-phenyl-thiophene may occur by a similar mechanism an equilibrium between the bicyclic intermediate (26) and the cyclopro-penylthioaldehyde (27) has been suggested (Scheme 2). The formation of IV-substituted pyrroles on irradiation of either furans or thiophenes in the presence of a primary amine supports this suggestion (Scheme 3). Irradiation of 2-phenylselenophene yields, in addition to 3-phenylselenophene, the enyne PhC=C—CH=CH2 and selenium. Photolysis of 2-phenyltellurophene furnishes solely the enyne and tellurium (76JOM(108)183).

A number of bridged crown ethers have been prepared. Although the Simmons-Park in-out bicyclic amines (see Sect. 1.3.3) are the prototype, Lehn s cryptands (see Chap. 8) are probably better known. Intermediates between the cryptands (which Pedersen referred to as lanterns ) and the simple monoazacrowns are monoazacrowns bridged by a single hydrocarbon strand. Pedersen reports the synthesis of such a structure (see 7, below) which he referred to as a clam compound for the obvious reason . Although Pedersen appears not to have explored the binding properties of his clam in any detail, he did attempt to complex Na and Cs ions. A 0.0001 molar solution of the clam compound is prepared in ethanol. The metal ions Na and Cs are added to the clam-ethanol solutions as salts. Ultraviolet spectra of these solutions indicate that a small amount of the Na is complexed by the clam compound but none of the Cs . 

The in-out bicyclic amines prepared by Simmons and Park bear a remarkable semblance to the cryptands but lack the binding sites in the bridges. As a result, these molecules interact with electrophiles in a fashion similar to other tertiary amines and generally do not exhibit strong interactions with alkali or alkaline earth metal ions. The in-out bicyclic amines are prepared by reaction of the appropriate acid chlorides and amines in two stages to yield the macrobicyclic amine after reduction of the amidic linkages. A typical amine is shown above as compound 18. 

In other sections in this chapter, we have referred to a variety of macropolycyclic structures which are more elaborate than the simple three-stranded bicyclic cryptands. This includes bridged double-macrocycles " , in-out bicyclic amines and the macrotricyclic quaternary ammonium salts of Schmidtchen. In addition to these, there are two other types of compounds which deserve special note. The first of these is a stacked twin-ring cryptand, but it is a hybrid molecule rather than a double-cryptand . The species shown below as 20 is a crowned porphyrin, and was designed to provide a pair of metal cation binding sites similar to those which might be available in natural biological systems . 

Another interesting fact to be noted is that the bicyclic enamine (87) and its pyrrolidine analogue failed to undergo reduction with 98% formic acid, whereas the pyrrolidine enamine of 2-bicyclo[2.2.1]hepten-5-carboxalde-hyde (94), which exists largely in the transoid form (49), was readily reduced to (95). However, the saturated amine-substituted norbornane can be obtained directly from norbornanone under the more vigorous conditions of the Leuckart reaction (49a). 

The bicyclic amine 11-methyl-l l-azabicyclo[5.3.1]hendecanc (71) provided a model system in which the hydrogens on the equivalent a-tertiary-carbon atoms cannot be trans to the nitrogen-mercury bond in the mercur-ated complex and in which epimerization at these a carbons is impossible (77). This bicyclic system is large enough to accommodate a... 

The lithium- -propylamine reducing system has been found capable of reducing julolidine (113) to /d -tetrahydrojulolidine (114, 66% yield) and 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tctrahydroquinoline to a mixture of enamines (87% yield), l-methyl-J -octahydroquinoline (115) and 1-methyl-al -octahydro-quinoline (116) 102). This route to enamines of bicyclic and tricyclic systems avoids hydroxylation, which occurs during mercuric acetate oxidation of certain bicyclic and tricyclic tertiary amines 62,85 see Section III.A). 

The formation of bicyclic imines (263,264) from piperidine enamines and y-bromopropyl amines may appear at first sight to be a simple extension of the reactions of enamines with alkyl halides. However, evidence has been found that the products are formed by an initial enamine exchange, followed by an intramolecular enamine alkylation. Thus y-bromodiethylamino-propane does not react with piperidinocyclohexene under conditions suitable for the corresponding primary amine. Furthermore, the enamine of cyclopentanone, but not that of cyclohexanone, requires a secondary rather than primary y-bromopropylamine, presumably because of the less favorable imine to enamine conversion in this instance. 

Not surprising, the most prevalent synthetic utility is the assembly of the pyrrolidine ring. N-Chloroamine 27 was obtained by treatment of N-methyl-2-cyclopentylethylamine (26) with N-chlorosuccinimide. Under classic Hofmann-Loffler-Freytag reaction conditions, 27 was rearranged either thermally or by UV irradiation in sulfuric acid to bicyclic amine... 

The bicyclic compound (76) gave carbon dioxide, the saturated amine (122), and the unsaturated lactam (123). 

The relatively poor resonance activation of the 2-Le-3-aza orientation in bicyclics (cf. Section IV, A) is illustrated by nucleophilic substitutions below. Vigorous conditions are required for methoxylation (110°, 17 hr, quantitative yield) of 3-bromocinnoline and for amination (aqueous ammonia, copper sulfate, 20 hr, high yield) of 3-bromo- (at 130°) or of 3-chloro-derivatives (at 165°). 3,4-Dichlorocinnoline gives predominantly 4-substitution in hydra-zination (90% yield, 20°, 4 days in alcohol), amination (70% yield, 150°, 22 hr in alcohol), and hydroxylation (50% yield, 150°, 22 hr, aqueous ammonia). The poorer-leaving phenoxy group in 3-chloro-4-phenoxycinnoline, is displaced with ammonium acetate (160°, few mins, 60% yield). ... 

An acid chloride of compound 3 reacts with a bicyclic amine to give compound 227 (88EUP254584) while the zwitterion 228 reacts with a range of alcohols to give esters such as 229 (83BCSJ2974) the 2-isomer reacts similarly... 

The R depends on the amine R NH2 used in the reaction. When ammonia was used a bicyclic product (7) was formed from nitro-ethane. ... 

Heating the acetyltriazepine 2 in 1,2-dichlorobenzene in a sealed tube at 190-200CC for 65 hours gives yV-acetyl-5,6-dimethoxypyrazin-2-amine (4) presumably via the bicyclic valence tautomer 3.371...
