Amine functions

Inspired by the work of Burk and Feaster ) we attempted to use (2-pyridyl)hydrazine (4.36) as a coordinating auxiliary (Scheme 4.10). Hydrazines generally react effidently with ketones and aldehydes. Hence, if satisfactory activation of the dienophile can be achieved through coordination of a Lewis acid to the (2-pyridyl)hydrazone moiety in water. Lewis-add catalysis of a large class of ketone- and aldehyde-activated dienophiles is antidpated Subsequent conversion of the hydrazone group into an amine functionality has been reported previously by Burk and Feaster ... 

The dream of every X chemist is to get that amine function directly on the safrole molecule without having to go thru any intermediate such as the ketone of MD-P2P or the bromine of bromosafrole. But Strike can tell you right now that that is very, very tough (that is why there ain t no methods for it). About the only article Strike has ever found for the actual placement of an amine directly on a terminal alkene (a.k.a. safrole) is the following [79] ...

Ammonia reacts with the ketone carbonyl group to give an mine (C=NH) which is then reduced to the amine function of the a ammo acid Both mine formation and reduc tion are enzyme catalyzed The reduced form of nicotinamide adenine diphosphonu cleotide (NADPH) is a coenzyme and acts as a reducing agent The step m which the mine is reduced is the one m which the chirality center is introduced and gives only L glutamic acid...

Function 5 provides thermoset reactivity via functional groups such as methacrylates and amines. Function 6 permits the presence of two or three pendent organic groups. This allows all functionality to be controlled to the first-, second-, or third-degree levels. 

Organic compounds containing a hydroxyl, carbonyl, or amine functional group adjacent to a hydoxyl or carbonyl group can be oxidized using metaperiodate, 104 , as an oxidizing titrant. 

Cycloaliphatic amines are comprised of a cyclic hydrocarbon stmctural component and an amine functional group external to that ring. Included in an extended cycloaUphatic amine definition ate aminomethyl cycloaUphatics. Although some cycloaUphatic amine and diamine products have direct end use apphcations, their major function is as low cost organic intermediates sold as moderate volume specification products.

Reactive dyes are synthesized by (/) condensation of an amine function in the chromogen molecule with a reactive group, eg. 

In primer formulations for adhesive bonding of metals, the coupling agents that are most frequently used are those based on epoxy and amine functionalities. Aqueous solutions of aminosilanes have been successfully used for obtaining stable adhesive bonds between epoxy and steel [10] and epoxy and titanium [11,12], while epoxy functional silanes are preferable for applications involving aluminum substrates [13,14], A simple solution of % epoxy functional silane in water is currently used for field repairs of military aircraft [15] where phosphoric acid anodization would be extremely difficult to carry out, and performance is deemed quite acceptable. 

Closely related is the reaction of enamines with O-sulfonyl lactams (411-413), which has extended the versatility of Hiinig s carboxylic acid extension sequence to compounds with a terminal amine function. 

The mechanism of the Cook-Heilbron reaction between a-aminonitriles and dithioformic ester 6 proceeds via an acyclic intermediate 7, as proven by its isolation in several cases. Nucleophilic attack of the amine function on the sulfur-bearing carbon leads to the elimination of hydrogen sulphide. Cyclization of the acyclic thiacetoamide results in a five membered ring which aromatises favourably to give 5-amino-2-benzylthiazole 8.

A number of diarylmethyl alkylpiperazines, such as, for example lidoflazine, have found use as coronary vasodilators for the treatment of angina. The most recent of these interestingly incorporates a 2,6-dichloroaniline moiety reminiscent of antiarrhythmic agents. Treatment of the piperazine carboxamide 124 with acetone leads to formation of the nitrogen analogue of an acetal, the aminal 125. Alkylation of the remaining secondary nitrogen with chloroamide 126 leads to the intermediate 127. Exposure to aqueous acid leads to hydrolysis of the aminal function... 

Reductive alkylation with chiral substrates may afford new chiral centers. The reaction has been of interest for the preparation of optically active amino acids where the chirality of the amine function is induced in the prochiral carbonyl moiety 34,35). The degree of induced asymmetry is influenced by substrate, solvent, and temperature 26,27,28,29,48,51,65). Asymmetry also has been obtained by reduction of prochiral imines, using a chiral catalyst 44). Prediction of the major configurational isomer arising from a reductive alkylation can be made usually by the assumption that amine formation comes via an imine, not the hydroxyamino addition compound, and that the catalyst approaches the least hindered side (57).

Silane coupling agents may contribute hydrophilic properties to the interface, especially when amino functional silanes, such as epoxies and urethane silanes, are used as primers for reactive polymers. The primer may supply much more amine functionality than can possibly react with the resin at the interphase. Those amines that could not react are hydrophilic and, therefore, responsible for the poor water resistance of bonds. An effective way to use hydrophilic silanes is to blend them with hydrophobic silanes such as phenyltrimethoxysilane. Mixed siloxane primers also have an improved thermal stability, which is typical for aromatic silicones [42]. 

By the end of this chapter, we will have seen all the common functional groups. Of those groups, amines and carbonyl compounds are the most abundant and have the richest chemistry. In addition to the proteins and nucleic acids already mentioned, the majority of pharmaceutical agents contain amine functional groups, and many of the common coenzymes necessary for biological catalysis are amines. 

Likewise, amine functions on the azepine ring at an unsaturated carbon center behave as enamines and undergo hydrolysis under both acid and alkaline conditions to the benzazepinones.15,64 8084 However, hydrolysis of dimethyl l-acetyl-5-piperidino-l//-l-benz-azepine-3,4-dicarboxylate(18) yields not the benzazepinone but the tautomeric 5-hydroxy derivative 19.13 Presumably, the enol form is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding. 

Aminodebromination of 4-bromo-l//-3-benzazepin-2-amine (25) with triethylamine occurs readily and results in formation of the quaternary salt 26 (see also Section 3.2.1.5.6.), whereas attempts to effect nucleophilic substitution of bromide with primary or secondary amines gives only tarry mixtures.41 The bromo group is also resistant to displacement by azide and benz-cncthiolate but undergoes substitution with thiocyanate ion in hot dimethylformamide to give the 4-thiocyanato derivative 27 rather than the thiourea by addition at the amine function. 

MTBSTFA is the recommended reagent for silylating the amine functionality because it forms a more stable derivative than MSTFA. BSTFA, or BSA. Because amines can be difficult to silylate, the solvent used is important.
