4-amino-1-alkene amine

Pyranopyrrolothiazoles can be prepared in a similar way to certain pyrano- and thiopyrano-pyrrolizines and pyrrolizinopyridines as discussed earlier. Thus, thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid reacts with the aldehyde 179 to give a 2 1 mixture of 180 and 181 (Equation 16). This reaction is a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the alkene to the 1,3-dipole formed from reaction of the amino acid amine with the aldehyde <1988T4953, 1990T2213>. The alkyne analogue of 179 is similarly converted into 182 (Equation 17). 

Secondary amino compounds of the type R2N—H add to aldehyde and ketone carbonyl groups in an acid-catalyzed reaction in much the same way as do RNH2 compounds—with one important difference. The product contains the structural unit C=C—N rather than C—C—N and because there is a carbon-carbon double bond, such a substance is called an enamine (alkene + amine). An example is ... 

As stated above, aliphatic amines are potent ligands for electrophilic transition metals and are efficient catalyst poisons in attempted alkene animation reactions. However, tosylation of the basic amino group greatly reduces its complexing ability, yet does not compromise its ability to nucleophilically attack complexed alkenes. Thus, a variety of alkenic tosamides efficiently cyclized under palladium(II) catalysis producing N-tosylenamines in excellent yield (equations 17 and 18).32 Again, this alkene amination proceeded through an unstable a-alkylpalladium(II) species, which could be intercepted by carbon monoxide, to result in an overall aminocarbonylation of alkenes. With ureas of 3-hydroxy-4-pentenyl-amines (Scheme 7), this palladium-catalyzed process was quite efficient but it was somewhat less so with... 

The organolanthanide-catalyzed alkene hydroamination has been reported. With this approach, amino alkenes (not enamines) can be cyclized to form cyclic amines, and amino alkynes lead to cyclic imine. The use of synthesized C-1 and C-2 symmetric chiral organolanthanide complexes give the amino alcohol with good enantioselectivity. 

Products of addition to styrene double bonds can arise as a result of light induced electron transfer reactions. Lewis has studied the intramolecular reaction of l-phenyl-w-amino alkenes (422) 289,290 products arise from electron transfer from the amine nitrogen to the excited state of the styryl group followed by intramolecular proton transfer in the radical ion pair produced. The resultant biradical then couples to yield the isolated products (423) and (424). Sensitisation of the intermolecular analogue of this reaction by 1,4-dicyanobenzene has been reported and is proposed to occur by electron transfer from the styrene to the excited state of the sensitiser followed by attack of an amine on the styrene radical cation. This ultimately leads to the product of anti-Markovnikov addition of the amine across the double bond of the styrene. This is similar to the sequence long since established by... 

Phosphorinanones have been utilized as substrates for the preparation of alkenes/ amines,indoles, - and in the synthesis of a series of secondary and tertiary alcohols via reduction,and by reaction with Grignard and Refor-matsky - reagents. Phosphorinanones have also been used as precursors to a series of 1,4-disubstituted phosphor ins. The use of 4-amino-l,2,5,6-tetrahydro-l-phenylphosphorin-3-carbonitrile for the direct formation of phosphorino-[4,3-< ] pyrimidines has been reported. ... 

Finally, in Wander s synthesis of the hexacyclic himandrin skeleton, amino-alkene 100 was oxidized to its corresponding methyl ketone, which was trapped by nucleophilic addition of the amine.7 Dehydration of the adduct then delivered enamine 100, which possessed all six rings of the himandrine skeleton. 

Cyclic secondary amines are also produced by the ring expansion of O-sulphonyloximes via a Beckmann rearrangement/ the cyclization of a,aliphatic diamines by a ruthenium catalyst/ the palladium-promoted ring closure of amino-alkenes/ and the sulphonamidomercuration of 1,4- and 1,5-dienes. The latter two reactions form part of a wealth of new literature on the amination of olefins and acetylenes via aminomercuration " and via palladium catalysis. ... 

Asymmetric hydroamination has made a significant contribution toward the synthesis of chiral cyclic amines. Intramolecular asymmetric hydroamination of amino alkenes, amino alkynes, and amino allenes has been extensively studied to develop interesting strategies for the synthesis of chiral cyclic amines. 

A typical second step after the insertion of CO into aryl or alkenyl-Pd(II) compounds is the addition to alkenes [148]. However, allenes can also be used (as shown in the following examples) where a it-allyl-r 3-Pd-complex is formed as an intermediate which undergoes a nucleophilic substitution. Thus, Alper and coworkers [148], as well as Grigg and coworkers [149], described a Pd-catalyzed transformation of o-iodophenols and o-iodoanilines with allenes in the presence of CO. Reaction of 6/1-310 or 6/1-311 with 6/1-312 in the presence of Pd° under a CO atmosphere (1 atm) led to the chromanones 6/1-314 and quinolones 6/1-315, respectively, via the Jt-allyl-r 3-Pd-complex 6/1-313 (Scheme 6/1.82). The enones obtained can be transformed by a Michael addition with amines, followed by reduction to give y-amino alcohols. Quinolones and chromanones are of interest due to their pronounced biological activity as antibacterials [150], antifungals [151] and neurotrophic factors [152]. 

Electrophilic substitution of the ring hydrogen atom in 1,3,4-oxadiazoles is uncommon. In contrast, several reactions of electrophiles with C-linked substituents of 1,3,4-oxadiazole have been reported. 2,5-Diaryl-l,3,4-oxadiazoles are bromi-nated and nitrated on aryl substituents. Oxidation of 2,5-ditolyl-l,3,4-oxadiazole afforded the corresponding dialdehydes or dicarboxylic acids. 2-Methyl-5-phenyl-l,3,4-oxadiazole treated with butyllithium and then with isoamyl nitrite yielded the oxime of 5-phenyl-l,3,4-oxadiazol-2-carbaldehyde. 2-Chloromethyl-5-phenyl-l,3,4-oxadiazole under the action of sulfur and methyl iodide followed by amines affords the respective thioamides. 2-Chloromethyl-5-methyl-l,3,4-oxadia-zole and triethyl phosphite gave a product, which underwent a Wittig reation with aromatic aldehydes to form alkenes. Alkyl l,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylates undergo typical reactions with ammonia, amines, and hydrazines to afford amides or hydrazides. It has been shown that 5-amino-l,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylic acids and their esters decarboxylate.
