Amine oxides isonitriles

Carbodiimides." Selenium assists the addition of primary amines to isonitriles. An oxidation completes the synthesis. 

Carbodiimides. Palladium(II) chloride, primary amines, and isonitriles form a carbene—metal complex (1), which on treatment with silver oxide is converted into a carbodiimide (2) in yields of 75-95%. Actually, the complex... 

Another variation of the oxidation reaction with dioxygen can be efficiently accomplished by a catalytic condensation of amines and isonitriles using a palladium complex catalyst and iodine at 100 °C to give dialkylcarbodirmides in yields of 35-86% [1283]. Dicyclohexylcarbodirmide was obtained in 67% yield from cyclo-hexylisonitrile 1748 and cyclohexylamine 1749 (see Section 4.5.3.5, Table 4.48). 

The 2,3-substituted indols are formed via a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of aryl halide, o-alkenylphenyl isocyanide, and amine (Equation (122)).481 Oxidative addition of an aryl halide, insertion of both the isonitrile and alkene moieties of o-alkenylphenyl isocyanide, and 1,3-hydrogen migration may form a 7r-allylpalladium species, which is then attacked by an amine to afford an indol. 

The acidity of the propargylic proton of the starting compound 18 allows the equilibration with the allene 19 induced by bases such as tertiary amines or alcoholates (Scheme 7.4). Such prototropic rearrangements furnish the title compounds 19 with at least one proton at the terminal carbon atom, often in good yields. The EWG group involves carboxylic acids [33], esters [34], ketones [35, 36], isonitriles [37], sul-fones [38], sulfoxides [39, 40] and phosphonates [41], The oxidation of easily accessi-... 

Guanidines have been prepared by the reaction between an amine, or an amine salt, and a host of other reagents, such as a thiourea in the presence of lead or mercuric oxide [83, 157, 158], carbodi-imides [140, 174, 175],calcium cyanamide [176, 177], isonitrile dichlorides [178—180], chloroformamidines [181], dialkyl imidocarbonates [182], orthocarbonate esters [183], trichloro-methanesulphenyl chloride [184], and nitro- or nitroso-guanidines [185-188]. Substituted ureas can furnish guanidines, either by treatment with amines and phosphorus oxychloride [189], or by reaction with phenylisocyanate [190] or phosgene [191]. 

Bis[4-methoxyphenyl] tellurium oxide was found to be a mild and highly selective oxidizing agent for the conversion of thiocarbonyl groups to carbonyl groups, thiols to disulfides, arylhydrazines to arenes, and 1,2- or 1,4-dihydroxyarenes to quinones. No reaction was observed with simple phenols, alcohols, enamines, amines (including pyrrole, indole, tryptophan, tyrosine, aniline, and dimethylaniline), oximes, dithiolanes, isonitriles, and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones4. 

The reaction product derived from isonitriles and primary amines in the presence of Pd(II)Cl2 reacts with silver oxide to give carbodiimides 163. ... 

Oxidation. Bis(p-methoxyphenyl)telluroxide (1) is a mild and selective oxidant for conversion of xanthates, thiocarbamates, thioamides, and nonenolizable thiones into the corresponding oxo derivatives, and also of thiols into disulfides. Typically these reactions afford products in 70-100% yield. 1,2- and 1,4-Hydroquinones are oxidized by 1 to o- and p-quinones, respectively. Phenylhydroxylamine is oxidized to nitrosobenzene (90% yield). Phenols, amines, enamines, alcohols, oximes, dithiolanes, isonitriles, and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones are unreactive. 

The processes involved in these adsorptions are related to coordination chemistry in solution, but occur in two dimensions. Metal smfaces can be viewed as planes of metal atoms having vacant coordination sites. Appropriate ligands coordinate (or, in the terms of surface science, adsorb) to a metal surface and form an ensemble that we and others refer to as a self-assembled monolayer. Adsorbates containing polymethylene chains are the most commonly studied b ause they often form oriented, highly ordered SAMs. Some of the presently available systems that yield SAMs include alkanoic acids on oxidized metal surfaces (especially aluminum) (4), alkyl amines on oxidized surfaces of chromium and platinum (5), isonitriles on platinum (6), sulfides (7), disulfides (8-10), and thiols (11,12), on gold, and thiols on silver (ISIS), All of these systems have analogs in classical coordnation chemistry (16). 

Reduction of the ketone 2 and dehydration of the resulting alcohol led, after deprotection and oxidation, to the ketone 12. Protection followed by P-ehmination gave the enone 13. Direct reductive amination of 13 failed, hut reduction of the methoxime was successful, giving, after acylation, the formamide 14. Reductive N-O bond cleavage followed by deprotection and isonitrile formation then set the stage for the planned intramolecular acylation to complete the synthesis of Welwitindolinone A Isonitrile 3.
