Amino groups substituents

Aniline is the parent IUPAC name for amino-substituted derivatives of benzene. Substituted derivatives of aniline are numbered beginning at the carbon that bears the amino group. Substituents are listed in alphabetical order, and the direction of numbering is governed by the usual first point of difference rule.

The presence of certain substituents e.g., the amino group) may markedly affect the solubibty and other properties of the sulphonic acid or carboxylic acid. Thus such sulphonic acids as the aminobenzenesul-phonic acids, pyridine- and quinoline-sulphonic acids exist in the form of inner salts or zwitter-ions that result from the interaction of the basic amino group and the acidic sulphonic acid. Sulphanilic acid, for example, is more accurately represented by formula (I) than by formula (II) ... 

Other substituents which belong with this group have already been discussed. These include phenol, anisole and compounds related to it ( 5.3.4 the only kinetic data for anisole are for nitration at the encounter rate in sulphuric acid, and with acetyl nitrate in acetic anhydride see 2.5 and 5.3.3, respectively), and acetanilide ( 5.3.4). The cations PhSMe2+, PhSeMe2+, and PhaO+ have also been discussed ( 9.1.2). Amino groups are prevented from showing their character ( — 7 +717) in nitration because conditions enforce reaction through the protonated forms ( 9.1.2). 

The 4-hydroxy-1-alkene (homoallylic alcohol) 81 is oxidized to the hetni-acetal 82 of the aldehyde by the participation of the OH group when there is a substituent at C3. In the absence of the substituent, a ketone is obtained. The hemiacetal is converted into butyrolactone 83[117], When Pd nitro complex is used as a catalyst in /-BuOH under oxygen, acetals are obtained from homoallylic alcohols even in the absence of a substituent at C-3[l 18], /-Allylamine is oxidized to the acetal 84 of the aldehyde selectively by participation of the amino group[l 19],... 

The amino group activates the thiazole ring toward electrophilic centers. This point is illustrated by the rate constants of the reaction between 2-dialkylaminothiazoles (32) and methyl iodide in nitromethane at 25 C (Scheme 23) (158). The steric effects of substituents on nitrogen are... 

Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy allows the determination of ionization potentials. For thiazole the first experimental measurement using this technique was preformed by Salmona et al. (189) who later studied various alkyl and functional derivatives in the 2-position (190,191). Substitution of an hydrogen atom by an alkyl group destabilizes the first ionization potential, the perturbation being constant for tso-propyl and heavier substituents. Introduction in the 2-position of an amino group strongly destabilizes the first band and only slightly the second. 

Regarding the substituent effect on reactivity of groups in positions 4 and 5 there is little information in the literature. The reactivity of halogen in position 5 seems to be increased when an amino group is present in position 2. Substitution products are easily obtained using neutral nucleophiles such as thiourea, thiophenols, and mercaptans (52-59). 

Amino groups rank rather low in seniority when the parent compound is identified for naming purposes Hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups outrank ammo groups In these cases the ammo group is named as a substituent... 

Historically, the discovery of one effective herbicide has led quickly to the preparation and screening of a family of imitative chemicals (3). Herbicide developers have traditionally used combinations of experience, art-based approaches, and intuitive appHcations of classical stmcture—activity relationships to imitate, increase, or make more selective the activity of the parent compound. This trial-and-error process depends on the costs and availabiUties of appropriate starting materials, ease of synthesis of usually inactive intermediates, and alterations of parent compound chemical properties by stepwise addition of substituents that have been effective in the development of other pesticides, eg, halogens or substituted amino groups. The reason a particular imitative compound works is seldom understood, and other pesticidal appHcations are not readily predictable. Novices in this traditional, quite random, process requite several years of training and experience in order to function productively. 

Ultraviolet. Benzene has a series of relatively low intensity absorption bands in the region of 230 to 270 nm. When there is a substituent on the ring with nonbonding electrons, such as an amino group, there is a pronounced increase in the intensity of these bands and a shift to longer wavelength. Aniline shows an absorption band at 230 nm (e = 8600) and a secondary band at 280 nm (e = 1430). Protonation of the amino groups reduces these effects and the spectmm resembles that of the unsubstituted benzene. 

Whereas introducing a thiol moiety at C-7 markedly reduced the antibacterial activity relative to lincomycin (79), the 7(3)-7-deoxy-7-alkylthiolincomycins exhibited considerably enhanced antibacterial activity without apparent regard for the size of the alkyl group (80—82). A marked increase in gram-negative activity was shown when the 7(3)-substituent contained a 2- or 3-hydroxy or amino group, but this activity was insufficient to be effective in infected mice (83—85).
