Amines trifluoroacetic anhydride

Trifluoroacetamides are more stable toward nucleophiles than the corresponding esters and are easily formed from trifluoroacetic anhydride and the amine. The trifluoroacetyl group (Tfac) is slowly cleaved by aqueous or methanolic HQ, NH, or Ba(OH)2 solutions as well as by NaBHj in methanol (M.L. Wolfrom, 1967). 

AijAT-dicyclohexylcarhodiimide (DCC) also leads to essentially quantitative conversion of amic acids to isoimides, rather than imides (30,31). Combinations of trifluoroacetic anhydride—triethjlarnine and ethyl chi oroform a te—triethyl amine also result in high yields of isoimides (30). A kinetic study on model compounds has revealed that isoimides and imides are formed via a mixed anhydride intermediate (12) that is formed by the acylation of the carboxylic group of amic acid (8). 

Acylation of various oxygen functions by use of common and commercially available fluonnated carboxylic acid denvatives such as trifluoroacetic anhydride or the corresponding acyl halides have already been discussed sufficiently in the first edition [10] Therefore only exceptional observations will be described in this section In the past 15 years, many denvatizations of various nonfluonnated oxygen compounds by fluoroacylation were made for analytical purposes. Thus Mosher s acid chlorides for example became ready-to-use reagents for the determination of the enantiomeric purity of alcohols and amines by NMR or gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) techniques [//] (equation 1)...

The energetic cubane-based nitramine (22) is also synthesized from the direct A-nitration of the parent amine using a mixture of trifluoroacetic anhydride and nitric acid. ... 

Another example is provided by the application of the modified Polonovski reaction to A3-piperideines. Treatment of amine oxides (141) with trifluoroacetic anhydride results in the formation of iminium ion (142). These compounds can behave as useful synthetic intermediates, reacting with a number of nucleophiles such as cyanide ion (80JA1064). 

The latter, on reaction with methylamine yielded via the P-epoxide 373, the trans-a aminoalcohol 374, which was N-acylated to the amide 375. Acid-catalysed dehydration of the tertiary alcohol 375, led to the olefin 375, from which the key radical precursor, the chlorothioether377 was secured in quantitative yield by reaction with N-chlorosuccinimide. In keeping with the earlier results recorded for structurally related compounds, 377 on heating in the presence of ruthenium dichloride and triphenylphosphine also underwent a 5-exo radical addition to generate the cyclohexyl radical 378 which recaptured the chlorine atom to furnish the a-chloro-c/5-hydroindolone 379. Oxidation of thioether 379 gave the corresponding sulfoxide 380, which on successive treatment with trifluoroacetic anhydride and aqueous bicarbonate led to the chloro-a-ketoamide 381. The olefin 382 resulting from base induced dehydrochlorination of 381, was reduced to the hydroxy-amine 383, which was obtained as the sole diastereoisomer... 

The norbelladine derivative 408, which served as the starting material for the synthesis of ( )-oxocrinine (415) (Scheme 35), may be readily prepared from the reductive animation of piperonal with tyramine followed by acylation with trifluoroacetic anhydride (191,192). When the N-acylated monophenol 408 was treated with excess thallium tris(trifluoroacetate) in methylene chloride, the di-enone 412 was obtained in 19% yield (191), whereas use of the oxidant vanadium oxyfluoride in trifluoroacetic acid/trifluoroacetic anhydride afforded 412 in 88% yield (192). Base-induced N-deacylation of 412 was accompanied by spontaneous cyclization to furnish racemic oxocrinine (415). Attempts to oxidize the free amine derived from 408 led to the formation of a number of products, some of which resulted from oxidation at nitrogen. 

Hydrolysis of ( )-colchicine with 0.1 N HC1 affords ( )-colchiceine, and ( )-deacetylcolchiceine is obtained on hydrolysis of ( )-colchicine with 20% H2SO4 and AcOH. Treatment of ( )-deacetylcolchiceine with trifluoroacetic anhydride afforded a trifluoroacetamide which, on methyl-ation with diazomethane, gave a mixture of ( )-trifluoroacetyldeacetyl-colchicine and ( )-trifluoroacetyldeacetylisocolchicine. The latter compounds were separated by chromatography and hydrolyzed with potassium carbonate in acetone/water to give ( )-deacetylcolchicine and ( )-deacetylisocolchicine (37). An easy chemical resolution of ( )-de-acetylcolchicine with 10-camphorsulfonic acid in methanol afforded the optically pure amines, and (+)- and (-)-colchicine after N-acetylation. 

Sigman and Jacobsen reported the first example of a metal-catalyzed enantioselective Strecker-type reaction using a chiral Alnl-salen complex (salen = N,N -bis(salicyhdene)-ethylenediamine dianion) [4]. A variety of N-allylimines 4 were evaluated in the reaction catalyzed by complex 5 to give products 6, which were isolated as trifluoroacetamides in good yields and moderate-to-excellent enantioselectivities (Scheme 3). Substituted arylimines 4 were the best substrates, while alkyl-substituted imines afforded products with considerably lower ee values. Jacobsen and co-workers also reported that non-metal Schiff base catalysts 8 and 9 proved to be effective in the Strecker reaction of imines 7 with hydrogen cyanide to afford trifluoroacetamides 10 after reaction with trifluoroacetic anhydride, since the free amines were not stable to chromatography (Scheme 4) [5]. 

In an earlier example of the resin-capture-release methodology trifluoracetylation of amines was achieved using polymer-bound benzyl thiol 8. Trifluoroacetic anhydride was employed in the capturing process while addition of amines to the intermediate polymer-bound thiolester released the desired trifluoroacetamide from the resin [21]. 

Trifluoromethyl derivatives of thiochromone are also available from thiosalicylic acid by conversion to alkyl 2-mercaptophenyl ketones followed by a Baker-Venkataraman reaction with trifluoroacetic anhydride in triethyl-amine (Scheme 205) <2005PS(180)1315>. 

The pyridinium perchlorate (212), which is the precursor of the mesoionic oxazolone (213), is formed by the action of acetic anhydride and perchloric acid on l,2-dihydro-2-oxopyridin-l-acetic acid. The mesoion (213) is chemically unstable and is generated in solution for its reactions by treatment with a tertiary amine. Compound (213) is easily substituted at C-3, and with trifluoroacetic anhydride forms the stable 3-trifluoroacetyl mesoion (70JCS(C)1485). 

Direct N-nitration of secondary amines by nitric acid is possible only for weakly basic amines. The more basic amines can be nitrated under neutral conditions widi reagents such as dinitrogen pentoxide and nitronium tetrafluoroborate, but nitrosamines are significant by-products. The nitrate ester CF3CMe20N02 has been recommended as a nonacidic nitrating agent for secondary amines which avoids the problem of contamination of the products by A(-nitrosamines piperidine and pyrrolidine were nitrated in yields of 75% and 72%, respectively. Amides and imides are efficiendy N-nitrated using ammonium nitrate in trifluoroacetic anhydride. ... 

Methyleneimmonium salts 31 are conveniently prepared from mcihylene-bis-amines, formaldehyde-N,0-acetals, or methylene halogenides. Electrochemical reactions on various alkylamines have also been used to generate methyleneimmonium salts, and trimethylamine N-oxide 34 (Fig. 20) is reported as a source of the corresponding methyleneimmonium salt by reaction with trifluoroacetic anhydride. ...

The amine-oxide (316) reacts with trifluoroacetic anhydride in the manner depicted in Scheme 13. The iminium ion (317) has the properties of a Mannich reagent, and alkylates a second steroid molecule in the enamine form (318) to give the 2-methylene-3-ketone (31-9) after hydrolysis. The demethylated amine was formed at the same time. Different behaviour of the A -unsaturated amine oxide (320) results from participation of the olefinic bond in a novel type of Grob...
