Acetylation. Selective acetylation of amines (primary amines > secondary amines, arylamines) is readily accomplished. 

Strongly basic amines (alkylamines, pK 3—6) react with syn,syn-l 5-dimethylpentadienyliron tricarbonyl to give cw,tra/M -dienylamines, but weakly basic amines (arylamines, pKi> ca. 10) react with inversion to give /ran5,tra/tr-dienylamines. The best explanation of this difference is that product control is kinetic for the strong bases, thermodynamic for the weak ones. ... 

Nitro groups are readily reduced to primary amines by a variety of methods Cat alytic hydrogenation over platinum palladium or nickel is often used as is reduction by iron or tin m hydrochloric acid The ease with which nitro groups are reduced is especially useful m the preparation of arylamines where the sequence ArH ArN02 ArNH2 IS the standard route to these compounds... 

Arylamines contain two functional groups the amine group and the aromatic ring they are difunctional compounds The reactivity of the amine group is affected by its aryl substituent and the reactivity of the ring is affected by its amine substituent The same electron delocalization that reduces the basicity and the nucleophilicity of an arylamme nitrogen increases the electron density in the aromatic ring and makes arylamines extremely reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution...

Reductive alkylations and aminations requite pressure-rated reaction vessels and hiUy contained and blanketed support equipment. Nitrile hydrogenations are similar in thein requirements. Arylamine hydrogenations have historically required very high pressure vessel materials of constmction. A nominal breakpoint of 8 MPa (- 1200 psi) requites yet heavier wall constmction and correspondingly more expensive hydrogen pressurization. Heat transfer must be adequate, for the heat of reaction in arylamine ring reduction is - 50 kJ/mol (12 kcal/mol) (59). Solvents employed to maintain catalyst activity and improve heat-transfer efficiency reduce effective hydrogen partial pressures and requite fractionation from product and recycle to prove cost-effective. 

Diarylamines are manufactured by the self-condensation of a primary aromatic amine in the presence of an acid, or the reaction of an arylamine with a phenol, at high temperatures. 

Benzyl chloride undergoes self-condensation relatively easily at high temperatures or in the presence of trace metallic impurities. The risk of decomposition during distillation is reduced by the use of various additives including lactams (43) and amines (44,45). Lime, sodium carbonate, and triethylamine are used as stabilizers during storage and shipment. Other soluble organic compounds that are reported to function as stabilizers in low concentration include DMF (46), arylamines (47), and triphenylphosphine (48). 

The main type of hydrolysis reaction is that of halogenoaryl compounds to hydroxyaryl compounds, eg, the aqueous caustic hydrolysis of 0- and /)-chloronitrobenzene derivatives to nitrophenols. Another important reaction is the hydrolysis of A/-acyl derivatives back to the parent arylamine, where the acyl group is frequently used to protect the amine. 

The reaction of substituted chloronitrobenzenes with arylamines to form substituted diphenyl amines is typified by 4-rutrodiphenylamine-2-sulfoiiic acid where 4-chloronitrobenzene-3-sulfonic acid (PN salt) is condensed with aniline ia an aqueous medium at 120°C and 200 kPa (2 atm) ia the presence of alkaline buffer at low pH to avoid the competing hydrolysis of the PN salt. 

Cl Acid Gieen 25 [4403-90-1] (3) (Cl 61570) was also invented in 1894. This dye shows improved wetfastness, and is prepared from leucoquinizarin by reaction with 2 moles of i)-toluidine in a similat manner to the preparation of Cl Acid Violet 43 (134). Wetfastness and leveling properties may be altered by choosing the substituents of arylamines. The introduction of alkyl groups into aromatic amines improves the wetfastness and affinity in neutral or weekly acid baths. Examples ate Cl Acid Blue 80 [4474-24-27] (131) (Cl 61585) and Cl Acid Gieen 27 [6408-57-7] (132) (Cl 61580). 

Aryl isothiocyanates can be prepared by the action of thio-phosgene on the arylamine (this reaction fails with naphthyl compounds), by fission of a 5ym-diaryIthiourea with acidic reagents (this reaction involves the loss of half the amine used), and by the decomposition of an ammonium aryldithiocar-bamate (low yields are reported for naphthyl and other compounds).The procedure described here is that of Baxter, Cymerman-Craig, Moyle, and White. ... 

The synthesis can be conducted both in solution and without solvents. The reaction in solvent (e.g., methanol, ethanol, dioxane, dimethylformamide) is recommended for volatile 1,3-diynes and amines in this case the pyrroles are purer and the yield is higher. With disubstituted diacetylenes, ammonia and primary alkyl- and arylamines produce 1,2,3-trisubstituted pyrroles under the same conditions (65CB98 71MI1). Since disubstituted diacetylenes are readily obtained by oxidative coupling of acetylenes (98MI2), this reaction provides a preparative route to a wide range of pyrroles. 

Amines can be either alkyl-substituted (alkylamines) or aryl-substituted (arylamines).. Although much of the chemistry of the two classes is similar, there are also substantial differences. Amines are classified as primary (RNH2),... 

As noted previously, arylamines are generally less basic than alkylamines. Anilinium ion has pKa = 4.63, for instance, whereas methylammonium ion has pfCa = 10.64. Arylamines are less basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are delocalized by interaction with the aromatic ring tt electron system and are less available for bonding to H+. In resonance terms, aryl-amines are stabilized relative to alkylamines because of their five resonance forms. 

Figure 24.3 Arylamines have a larger positive AG for protonation and are therefore less basic than alkylarnines, primarily because of resonance stabilization of the ground state. Electrostatic potential maps show that lone-pair electron density is delocalized in the amine but the charge is localized in the corresponding ammonium ion.

Pioneering studies have shown that the yield of iV-phenyl-3//-azepin-2-amine (32, R = Ph) from the thermolysis of phenyl azide in aniline increases as the ratio of azide to aniline decreases, and in dilute solution with an azide to aniline ratio of 1 200 a 54% yield of the 3//-azepine can be achieved.34 The reaction is successful with other arylamines, but the procedure is of limited preparative value as large volumes of amine are required and only moderate yields of 3H-azepines are obtained. 

The yield of 3//-azepine appears to be influenced by substituents on the azide ring although no in-depth study has been reported. 4-Halophenyl azides, in most cases, give rise to complex mixtures of products.177 4-Tolyl azide, on thermolysis in aniline, yields 5-methyl-iV-phenyl-3//-azepin-2-amine (18% mp 157-158°C), whereas the thermolyses of 4-methoxy-, 4-methyl-, 4-chloro-, and 4-nitrophenyl azides in a range of arylamines (4-chloro-, 4-methoxy-, and pen-tafluoroaniline) yield only azo compounds and uncharacterized tarry products.178... 

The structure of the tar, formed in many azide decompositions, consists of polyazepine units,103 and arises by attack of arylamine, formed from triplet arylnitrene, on the azepine precursor 30 to give the l//-azcpin-2-amine 31, which acts as a nucleophile towards more azepine precursor to yield ultimately the polyazepine 95. 

Singlet phenylnitrene, and hence /V,A -diethyl-3//-azcpin-2-amines, e. g. 102, can be generated by the thermolysis of A,-phenyl-Af,<9-bis(trimcthylsi]yl)hydroxylamine (100) in the presence of dialkylamines the reaction fails, however, with arylamines.210 Photofragmentation of the spiro oxaziridine 101 in diethylamine solution also produces the 3//-azepine 102,2,1 and an oxaziridine intermediate is probably involved in the formation, in low yield (1 %), of azepine 102 by the photolysis of A/,A( -diarylbenzoquinonc diimine A/,A/ -dioxides in benzene/die-thylamine solution.212... 

Bromomethyl)biphenyl-2-carbaldehyde (45) undergoes ring closure with arylamines to give 6-substituted 5//-dibenz[c.t,]azepinium bromides 46 via initial nucleophilic attack by the amine at the aldehyde function.92... 

Research into the mechanism of diazotization was based on Bamberger s supposition (1894 b) that the reaction corresponds to the formation of A-nitroso-A-alkyl-arylamines. The TV-nitrosation of secondary amines finishes at the nitrosoamine stage (because protolysis is not possible), but primary nitrosoamines are quickly transformed into diazo compounds in a moderately to strongly acidic medium. The process probably takes place by a prototropic rearrangement to the diazohydroxide, which is then attacked by a hydroxonium ion to yield the diazonium salt (Scheme 3-1 see also Sec. 3.4). 

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...
