Asymmetric hydrogenation of either a carbonyl or an imino group to a hydroxyl group or an amino group has frequently been employed for the introduction of chirality in amino acid syntheses. Corey s catecolborane-oxazaborolidine protocol enables transformation of difluoromethyl ketone 1 into alcohol 2 with excellent enantioselectivity. The reaction of diastereoselective amination of a-hydroxyaldehyde 3 with A,A-diallylamine and 2-furyl-boronic acid provides furyl amino alcohol 4 in good chemical yield along with excellent diastereoselectivity. This protocol is applicable for the preparation of amino acids and amino alcohols with a trifluoromethyl group by the combination of /V,/V-diallyl or N,N-dibenzyl amine and aromatic, heteroaromatic and alkenyl boronic acids [7]. The usual chemical transformations as shown in steps 5 to 8 in Scheme 9.1 lead to (2S,3R) difluorothreonine 5 [8]. 

Nucleophilic amination of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds appears to be one of the most important and well-studied Sn reactions [11-21,26,29,34,39,40, 45, 46, 48, 58-74, 88]. This is why [216] prepared by professors A.V. Gulevskaya and A.F. Pozharskii (Rostov-on-Don University, Russia) is dedicated to amination of heteroaromatic compounds. 

Heteroatom Oxidation Drugs and other chemicals that contain heteroatoms (mostly N and S) with hydrogen attached form the corresponding hydroxylamines and sulfenic acids. This oxidation is most commonly observed when the heteroatom is eonnected to an aromatic ring. Tertiary amines or heteroaromatic amines and sulfur ethers form N-oxides and sulfoxides, respectively, whereas imines ean form oximes or nitrones. 

Early work by Littman and Erode established that it was possible to vary the amino constituent of the Betti reaction. It has subsequently been shown that a wide variety of amines are suitable, depending on the reaction conditions. Indeed, primary and secondary aliphatic amines, aromatic amines and heteroaromatic amines have been used. For example, morpholine (17) was a suitable substrate for a Betti reaction when the reaction constituents were neat in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid under microwave irradiation. This reaction protocol is especially notable for its fast reaction rates, with the products obtained after only one minute of irradiation. Other useful reaction procedures to form diverse Betti bases have also been reported including the use of water as a solvent,and the addition of nonionic surfactants to the reaction mixture. In addition to variation of the amine component, a number of alternative aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes are suitable substrates. Finally, although most of the examples in the literature focus on 2-naphthol, a few alternatives have been reported, including the use of 8-quinolinol. ... 

Those carcinogens that are proximate mutagens in Salmonella are chemicals that S-9 can metabolize to reactive species like alkylating and arylat-ing agents. Proximate mutagens generally activated by S-9 include triazenes, azoxy compounds, A -nitrosamines, aromatic amines, polyaromatics, heteroaromatics, and some proximate mustards. The nitroaromatics, though active without activation per se, are metabolized by bacterial nitroreductases to their reactive forms. 

Direct evidence for the involvement of solution species in these redox reactions was reported at about this same time by our group. We found that under certain solution conditions, the molecular radical cations (M ) of some divalent metal porphyrins (e.g., Ni octaethylporphyrin (NiOEP), ZnOEP, and VOOEP) formed by this electrochemical process could be observed in positive-ion ES mass spectra.Certain other easy-to-oxidize species like polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), aromatic amines, and heteroaromatics were also oxidized at the emitter electrode and observed as cationic radicals. Molecular ions formed by loss of an electron had not been observed in ES mass spectra prior to those reports. Our work served to illustrate that analyte species, under the appropriate operational conditions, could be directly involved in the redox reactions in the metal spray capillary and that the products of their reactions could be observed in the gas phase. 

A cooperative catalysis with the non-chiral Knolker iron complex (227) and a chiral Bronsted acid (223) has also been utilised for asymmetric reductive amination of ketones. Various ketones including aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic ketones (228) have been transformed to the corresponding chiral amines (229) with high enantioselectivities up to 99% ee (Scheme 61). ... 

The thiazolyl radicals are, in comparison to the phenyl radical, electrophilic as shown by isomer ratios obtained in reaction with different aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds. Sources of thiazolyl radicals are few the corresponding peroxide and 2-thiazolylhydrazine (202, 209, 210) (see Table III-34) are convenient reagents, and it is the reaction of an alky] nitrite (jsoamyl) on the corresponding (2-, 4-, or 5-) amine that is most commonly used to produce thiazolyl radicals (203-206). The yields of substituted thiazole are around 40%. These results are summarized in Tables III-35 and IIT36. 

This scheme eliminates the process of converting bis(etherimide)s to bis(ether anhydride)s. When polyetherimides are fusible the polymerization is performed in the melt, allowing the monamine to distill off. It is advantageous if the amino groups of diamines are more basic or nucleophilic than the by-product monoamine. Bisimides derived from heteroaromatic amines such as 2-arninopyridine are readily exchanged by common aromatic diamines (68,69). High molecular weight polyetherimides have been synthesized from various N,lSf -bis(heteroaryl)bis(etherimide)s. 

Basic Red 22 (134), which contains 1 part ia 7 of the yellowish red 1,4-dimethyl isomer, Basic Red 29 (135), and Basic Yellow 25 (136) are all examples of delocalized cationic azo dyes. Dyes of this type can also be synthesized by Hbnig s oxidative coupling reaction of heteroaromatic hydrazones with tertiary aromatic amines. 

Hydrazides of vicinal acetylene-substituted derivatives of benzoic and azole carboxylic acids are important intermediate compounds because they can be used for cyclization via both a- and /3-carbon atoms of a multiple bond involving both amine and amide nitrogen atoms (Scheme 131). Besides, the hydrazides of aromatic and heteroaromatic acids are convenient substrates for testing the proposed easy formation of a five-membered ring condensed with a benzene nucleus and the six-membered one condensed with five-membered azoles. 

The reactions of 4-alkoxybut-3-en-2-ones with primary aromatic amines and diamines of the aromatic and heteroaromatic series follow analogous schemes. 

Aromatic diazonium compounds became industrially very important after Griess (1866a) discovered in 1861/62 the azo coupling reaction, by which the first azo dye was made by C. A. Martius in 1865 (see review by Smith, 1907). This is still the most important industrial reaction of diazo compounds. Hantzsch and Traumann (1888) discovered that a heteroaromatic amine, namely 2-aminothiazole, can also be diazotized. Heteroaromatic diazonium compounds were, however, only used for azo dyes much later, to a small extent in the 1930 s, but intensively since the 1950 s (see Zollinger, 1991, Ch. 7). 

The diazotization of heteroaromatic amines is basically analogous to that of aromatic amines. Among the five-membered systems the amino-azoles (pyrroles, diazoles, triazoles, tetrazoles, oxazoles, isooxazoles, thia-, selena-, and dithiazoles) have all been diazotized. In general, diazotization in dilute mineral acid is possible, but diazotization in concentrated sulfuric acid (nitrosylsulfuric acid, see Sec. 2.2) or in organic solvents using an ester of nitrous acid (ethyl or isopentyl nitrite) is often preferable. Amino derivatives of aromatic heterocycles without ring nitrogen (furan and thiophene) can also be diazotized. 

The diazotization of amino derivatives of six-membered heteroaromatic ring systems, particularly that of aminopyridines and aminopyridine oxides, was studied in detail by Kalatzis and coworkers. Diazotization of 3-aminopyridine and its derivatives is similar to that of aromatic amines because of the formation of rather stable diazonium ions. 2- and 4-aminopyridines were considered to resist diazotization or to form mainly the corresponding hydroxy compounds. However, Kalatzis (1967 a) showed that true diazotization of these compounds proceeds in a similar way to that of the aromatic amines in 0,5-4.0 m hydrochloric, sulfuric, or perchloric acid, by mixing the solutions with aqueous sodium nitrite at 0 °C. However, the rapidly formed diazonium ion is hydrolyzed very easily within a few minutes (hydroxy-de-diazonia-tion). The diazonium ion must be used immediately after formation, e. g., for a diazo coupling reaction, or must be stabilized as the diazoate by prompt neutralization (after 45 s) to pH 10-11 with sodium hydroxide-borax buffer. All isomeric aminopyridine-1-oxides can be diazotized in the usual way (Kalatzis and Mastrokalos, 1977). The diazotization of 5-aminopyrimidines results in a complex ring opening and conversion into other heterocyclic systems (see Nemeryuk et al., 1985). 

We mention Williams work briefly here because it may also explain Blangey s observations strongly basic primary amines unequivocally form 7V-nitrosoanilinium ions in strongly acidic media. In contrast to the rate-limiting deprotonations of the less basic aromatic and heteroaromatic nitrosoamine cations discussed in this section, the TV-nitroso cation of a strongly basic amine deprotonates extremely slowly. Therefore, the nitroso rearrangement, the Fischer-Hepp reaction, competes effectively with the 7V-deprotonation. 

In the context of the stability of the nitrosoamine intermediate in the diazotization of heteroaromatic amines relative to that in the case of aromatic amines, the reversibility of diazotization has to be considered. To the best of our knowledge the reverse reaction of a diazotization of an aromatic amine has never been observed in acidic solutions. This fact is the basis of the well-known method for the quantitative analysis of aromatic amines by titration with a calibrated solution of sodium nitrite (see Sec. 3.3). With heteroaromatic amines, however, it has been reported several times that, when using amine and sodium nitrite in the stoichiometric ratio 1 1, after completion of the reaction nitrous acid can still be detected with Kl-starch paper,... 

The reversibility of aromatic diazotization in methanol may indicate that the intermediate corresponding to the diazohydroxide (3.9 in Scheme 3-36), i. e., the (Z)-or (is)-diazomethyl ether (Ar — N2 — OCH3), may be the cause of the reversibility. In contrast to the diazohydroxide this compound cannot be stabilized by deprotonation. It can be protonated and then dissociates into a diazonium ion and a methanol molecule. This reaction is relatively slow (Masoud and Ishak, 1988) and therefore the reverse reaction of the diazomethyl ether to the amine may be competitive. Similarly the reversibility of heteroaromatic amine diazotizations with a ring nitrogen in the a-position may be due to the stabilization of the intermediate (Z)-diazohydroxide, hydrogen-bonded to that ring nitrogen (Butler, 1975). However, this explanation is not yet supported by experimental data. 

C-coupling is of outstanding importance in the azo coupling reaction for the synthesis of azo dyes and pigments. An aromatic or heteroaromatic diazonium ion reacts with the so-called coupling component, which can be an aromatic primary, secondary, or tertiary amine, a phenol, an enol of an open-chain, aromatic, or heteroaromatic carbonyl compound, or an activated methylene compound. These reactions at an sp2-hybridized carbon atom will be discussed in Chapter 12. In the... 

In Section 3.4 we discussed the problem of reversibility of diazotization of aromatic and heteroaromatic amines. Simple stoichiometric considerations indicate that the reverse reaction (ArNJ -> ArNH2) may take place under strongly acidic conditions. Experimentally the reverse reaction was found only with heteroaromatic diazonium salts (Kavalek et al., 1989). Reaction conditions of hydroxy-de-diazonia-tion are comparable to those used for the reverse reactions of diazotization (e.g., 10 m H2S04, but at 0°C for the formation of 2-amino-5-phenyl-l,3,4-thiadiazol from the corresponding diazonium salt, Kavalek et al., 1979). So far as we know, however, amines have never been detected in aromatic hydroxy-de-diazoniations, not even in small amounts. 

Most diazotized heteroaromatic amines undergo normal coupling reactions with common aromatic coupling components, as well as with CH acidic compounds (review Butler, 1975). 

The dienone, which is prepared essentially as described by Benedikt7 and Calo,8 monobrominates a wide range of primary, secondary, and tertiary aromatic amines almost exclusively in the para-position. The procedure described is of general synthetic utility for the preparation of para-brominated aromatic and heteroaromatic amines in high yields and frequently in a high state of purity. The submitters have used this technique to para-brominate many compounds in quantities... 

The reaction temperature varies between -40 and 110 °C, depending on the reactivity of both counterparts, amine and chlorophosphane. As usual, aliphatic amino groups react faster than aromatic and heteroaromatic ones due to their greater nucleophilic strength. These differences in reactivity allow chemose-lective phosphinous amide formation, as that represented in Scheme 2 where the P-N bond is formed exclusively at the aliphatic NH2 group of 2 but not at the heteroaromatic NH2, whose lone pair is extensively delocalized in the electron-withdrawing purine ring [35]. 

Molecular similarity has also been used directly to model toxicity. Bartlett et al. [63] found that the incidence of cutaneous rash from oral penicillins was a function of shape similarity to benzylpenicillin, and Basak et al. [64] used molecular similarity to model the mutagenicity of aromatic and heteroaromatic amines.
