In a 500 ml. flask, fitted with a reflux condenser, place 53 g. of 1-chloro-methylnaphthalene (Section IV.23), 84 g, of hexamethylenetetramine and 250 ml. of 1 1 acetic acid [CAUTION 1-Chloromethylnaphtha-lene and, to a lesser degree, a-naphthaldehyde have lachrymatory and vesicant properties adequate precautions should therefore be taken to avoid contact with these substances.] Heat the mixture under reflux for 2 hours it becomes homogeneous after about 15 minutes and then an oil commences to separate. Add 100 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and reflux for a further 15 minutes this will hydrolyse any SchifiF s bases which may be formed from amine and aldehyde present and will also convert any amines into the ether-insoluble hydrochlorides. Cool, and extract the mixture with 150 ml. of ether. Wash the ether layer with three 50 ml. portions of water, then cautiously with 50 ml. of 10 per cent, sodium carbonate solution, followed by 50 ml. of water. Dry the ethereal solution with anhydrous magnesium sulphate, remove the ether by distillation on a steam bath, and distil the residue under reduced pressure. Collect the a-naphthaldehyde at 160-162718 mm. the yield is 38 g. 

This is an example of the Doebner synthesis of quinoline-4-carboxylic acids (cinchoninic acids) the reaction consists in the condensation of an aromatic amine with pyruvic acid and an aldehj de. The mechanism is probably similar to that given for the Doebner-Miller sj nthesis of quinaldiiie (Section V,2), involving the intermediate formation of a dihydroquinoline derivative, which is subsequently dehydrogenated by the Schiff s base derived from the aromatic amine and aldehyde. 

Metal Catalysis. Aqueous solutions of amine oxides are unstable in the presence of mild steel and thermal decomposition to secondary amines and aldehydes under acidic conditions occurs (24,25). The reaction proceeds by a free-radical mechanism (26). The decomposition is also cataly2ed by V(III) and Cu(I). 

They found that a stoichiometric mixture of titanium tetrachloride, secondary amine, and aldehyde or ketone produeed enamines directly and rapidly [Eq. (11)]. 

Certain ketoximes can be converted to nitriles by the action of proton or Lewis acids. Among these are oximes of a-diketones (illustrated above), a-keto acids, a-dialkylamino ketones, a-hydroxy ketones, p-keto ethers, and similar compounds. These are fragmentation reactions, analogous to 17-25 and 17-26. For example, ot-dialkylamino ketoximes also give amines and aldehydes or ketones besides nitriles.

Addition of Vinyl and Aryl Groups. The reaction of aromatic radicals, generated by decomposition of diazonium salts, with iminium salts in the presence of TiCE in aqueous media produces secondary amines (Eq. 11.53).91 The iminium salts are formed in situ from aromatic amines and aldehydes. 

Traceless linker 60 based on a benzotriazole scaffold was reacted with amines and aldehydes to produce Mannich-type amine products [69]. Final product release was achieved by treatment with Grignard reagents (Scheme 29). 

The generation of a library of 2-aminoquinoline derivatives has been described by Wilson and colleagues (Scheme 6.240) [423]. The process involved microwave irradiation of the secondary amine and aldehyde components to form an enamine (1,2-dichloroethane, 180 °C, 3 min) and subsequent addition of the resulting crude enamine to a 2-azidobenzophenone derivative (0.8 equivalents) and further micro-wave heating for 7 min at the same temperature. 

As mentioned previously, Schiff-base condensations between amines and aldehydes or ketones have played a prominent role in metal-ion template chemistry. A generalized Schiff-base condensation (to produce an imine linkage) is given by [2.15],... 

Carbinolamines are chemically unstable and, in the case of tertiary amines, dissociate to generate the secondary amine and aldehydes as products or eliminate water to generate the iminium ion. The iminium ion, if formed, can reversibly add water to reform the carbinolamine or add other nucleophiles if present. If the nucleophile happens to be within the same molecule and five or six atoms removed from the electrophilic carbon of the iminium ion, cyclization can occur and form a stable 5- or 6-membered ring system. For example, the 4-imidazolidinone is a major metabolite of lidocaine, which is formed in vivo or can be formed upon isolation of the A -deethyl metabolite of lidocaine if a trace of acetaldehyde happens to be present in the solvent used for extraction (116,118) (Fig. 4.52). 

Polyarylketones resist acids at low concentrations, alcohols, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, greases, oils, gasoline, bases, most chlorinated solvents, ketones, esters, amines, and aldehydes. 

The Mannich reaction is an excellent route to polynitroaliphatic amines and their derivatives. /3-Nitroalkylamines are formed from the reaction of an amine and aldehyde in the presence of a nitroalkane (Equations 1.4 and A large number of these reactions... 

Primary nitramines react with amines in the presence of an aldehyde to form 1,3-amino-nitramines in a reaction analogous to the Mannich condensation. In these reactions the amine and aldehyde component combine to form an intermediate imine which is then attacked by the nitramine nucleophile. 

The second type of oxidative biotransformation comprises dealkylations. In the case of primary or secondary amines, dealkylation of an alkyl group starts at the carbon adjacent to the nitrogen in the case of tertiary amines, with hydroxylation of the nitrogen (e.g lidocaine). The intermediary products are labile and break up into the dealkylated amine and aldehyde of the alkyl group removed. 0-dealkylation... 

A published synthetic scheme (36) of a four component Ugi reaction (Fig. 6) has been used as an example to demonstrate the use of the SA optimization protocol for the simultaneous optimization of multiple properties. Because two of the four components are fixed in the scheme, only two diversity sites remain for optimization. These two sites come from primary amines (R1NH2) and aldehydes (R2CHO), respectively. We have collected from the ACD (Available Chemical Directory) structures of primary amines and aldehydes available from ALDRICH and LANCASTER. Compounds with reactive or unstable structural patterns are removed. As a result, 779 primary amines and 246 aldehydes are considered. 

Unexpectedly, Grieco discovered that immonium ions derived from aryl amines and aldehydes do not function as heterodienophiles toward cyclopentadiene, as was found in the case of simple immonium ions, but rather they acted as 2-azadienes leading to a novel synthesis of tetrahy-droquinolines (88TL5855). 

The various amines and aldehydes present combine to form Schiff s bases. If these are not hydrolyzed by a strong acid, they will contaminate the final product. 

Catalysis in reaction systems with undissolved substrates and products is not restricted to biocatalysis. High yields in sobd-state synthesis, sohd-to-sohd reactions, and solvent-free systems have also been reported for aldol condensation, Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, oxidative coupling of naphthols, and condensation of amines and aldehydes [1, 2]. 

N-oxidation. The oxidation of nitrogen in tertiary amines, amides, imines, hydrazines, and heterocyclic rings may be catalyzed by microsomal enzymes or by other enzymes (see below). Thus the oxidation of trimethylamine to anN-oxide (Fig. 4.19) is catalyzed by the microsomal FAD-containing mono oxygenase. The N-oxide so formed may undergo enzyme-catalyzed decomposition to a secondary amine and aldehyde. This N to C transoxygenation is mediated by cytochromes P-450. The N-oxidation of 3-methylpyridine, however, is catalyzed by cytochromes P-450. This reaction may be involved in the toxicity of the analogue,... 

An important class of cationic dyes, particularly for yellow to bluish-red hues, is derived from Fischer s base by condensation with 4-formyl-substituted anilines, or from Fischer s aldehyde (which may be prepared from Fischer s base via Vilsmeier formylation (B-71MI11205)) and an aromatic amine (Scheme 3). There are many examples of resonating charge dyes of this type which include a variety of aromatic amines and aldehydes. Of heterocyclic interest are the dyes formed by condensation of Fischer s aldehyde with... 

Hydroxy-l-nitrohydrazones (809) react with primary amines and formaldehyde to give 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-l,2,4-triazines (810) (64MI21901), and similar compounds (812) can be obtained from the reaction of aldehyde hydrazones (811) with primary amines and aldehydes (74KGS425, 75KGS1290, 74UKZ1220). 

Enamines derived from a secondary amine and aldehydes or ketones, linear and cyclic, have also been shown to react with equal facility (Scheme 47).so 33,37,38,206,2io—213 ]n azj(je addition to enamines formed in situ...
