Amine addition reaction

Under alkaline conditions, an amine addition reaction can occur. For example, in the reaction of C3H3CH2CH2NH2 and aEyl alcohol in the presence of sodium alcoholate at 108°C for 80 h, 43.4% A/-(3-hydroxypropyl)phenylethylamine is formed (12). 

The successful synthesis of 2-thienyl and substituted 2- and 3-thienyl-acetylenes in yields as high as 60-80% opened a wide variety of synthetic applications. Various addition reactions with carbonyl compounds or epoxides could be carried out with ease. Aliphatic as well as aromatic amine addition reactions, or condensation reactions with hydrazine or hydroxylamine could be easily performed. 

The amine-cured DGEBA epoxies utilized as matrices for filament wound composites generally form exclusively from epoxide-amine addition reactions (1). 

The nature of the cure reactions in these epoxies can be confirmed by monitoring the epoxide consumption via near infra-red spectroscopy for a series of epoxide-amine mixtures containing a range of amine contents. A plot of % epoxide consumption vs. amine concentration for DGEBA-T403 epoxies is illustrated in Fig. 2. This plot confirms that the DGEBA-T403 epoxy system forms exclusively from epoxide-amine addition reactions, because (i) 100% epoxide consumption is attained at the stoichiometric amine concentration associated with exclusive epoxide-amine addition cure reactions and (ii) extrapolation of this plot to zero amine content indicates there is no epoxide consumption i.e. there are no epoxide homopolymerization reactions. 

Schechter 55) proposed that the catalytic effect of hydroxyl groups on the epoxide-amine addition reaction involved a termolecular activated complex formed in the concerted reaction of amine, epoxide and hydroxyl. Smith 57) suggested a modified mechanism in which the same activated complex is formed in a bimolecular reaction between an adduct formed from epoxide (E) and the proton donor (HX), and the amine ... 

Dideoxynucleosides show potent anti-retroviral activity against HIV-specific reverse transcriptase80-83. In particular, 2, 3 -dideoxy-3 -C-cyano-2 -substituted thymidine derivatives (33 A and 33 B) with a free 5 -hydroxy function (R1 = H) are potential inhibitors of the HIV-reverse transcriptase-promoted c-DNA synthesis. As these compounds have yet to be prepared by another method, the 3 -ene-nitrile 3284 was subjected to conjugate addition reactions with ammonia, primary amines, secondary amines and carbon nucleophiles. Most of these nucleophilic amine addition reactions give either the trans-isomer 33 A as the sole product (e.g., reaction with pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine), or as the major product along with the c/s-isomer (e.g., reaction with methylamine, benzylamine), except for the reaction with ammonia where the cts-isomer 33B is formed as the major product84. 

The initial report of intramolecular benzene-tertiary amine addition by Bryce-Smith et al. might have been expected to trigger a flurry of research activity similar to that generated by intramolecular benzene-olefin photoaddition reactions. However. a detailed account of the formation of adducts 3 and 4, including isolated yields and complete structural characterization, never appeared. Neither have additional examples of arene-tertiary amine addition reactions been reported. 

The photochemical behavior of the orr/to-(aminoalkyl)slil-benes 92—94 is also dependent upon the polymethylene linker (Scheme II). Irradiation of 93 and 94 results in formation of the benzazepines 96 and 97. These adducts are presumably formed by regioselective N—H transfer to the proximal end of the stilbene double bond in 93 and the distal end in 94, in both cases resulting in the formation of a 1,7-biradical intermediate. Since intramolecular stilbene-amine addition reactions are non-regioselective, the regioselectivily of N-H transfer must be subject to exciplex conformational control. The biradical inter-... 

An alternative organocatalytic asymmetric synthesis of aminals has been developed by Rueping et al. [142] based on a Brpnsted acid-catalyzed condensation/amine addition reaction of 2-aminobenzamides to aldehydes (Scheme 11.54). Under optimized conditions, the presence of 3-A molecular sieves as additive is required the reaction provides the corresponding (5)-2,3-dihydroquinazolinones very efficiently. 

Instead of the expected elimination reactions involving small molecules like methane or amines, addition reactions of some metal alkoxides with alkyls and amides of other metals have been reported, e.g. ...
