Imidazoles have been synthesised by a four-component condensation of benzoin, an aromatic aldehyde, a primary amine and ammonium acetate on silica or Zeolite HY13. The reactions were complete in 6 min using a domestic instrument, in contrast to the many hours required for the conventionally thermal heated condensation reaction. In addition, it was found that it is possible to replace the aromatic aldehyde/ammonium acetate combination with a benzonitrile (Scheme 3.10)14. 

To each reaction, add 115 pi of RNase-free H2O and 15 pi of 3 m ammonium acetate. Extract with phenohchloroform and precipitate the RNA with an equal volume of 2-propanol at -20 C for 1 hour. Aspirate the 2-propanol from the pellet and resuspend the RNA in 50 pi of injection buffer for annealing. 

The formation of ethyl isopropylidene cyanoacetate is an example of the Knoevenagel reaction (see Discussion before Section IV,123). With higher ketones a mixture of ammonium acetate and acetic acid is an effective catalyst the water formed is removed by azeotropic distillation with benzene. The essential step in the reaction with aqueous potassium cyanide is the addition of the cyanide ion to the p-end of the ap-double bond ... 

In articles like this one, the scientists don t have the time nor the space to write out the details and amounts of reactants used for every single substrate they tried things on. So they pick just a few of the precursors they tried and use their numbers as an example of how the reaction typically goes. All one does is just substitute an equal amount of their favorite phenylacetone for the one in the example while keeping everything else the same. This will not be too big of a stretch of the old imagination with the first example below. The example ketone is just phenylbutanone. One little carbon more than phenylacetone, but a methyl ketone nonetheless (don t ask). They react exactly the same. As it so happens this first example is also the one using ammonium acetate to make MDA. Sweet ... 

This procedure has been performed in a variety of ways [28 p714, 38-42] with variations in solvent, base and time of reaction. For piperonal conversion, the consensus is toward the use of acetic acid as the solvent, ammonium acetate as the base and 4 hours of reflux time. Dr. Alexander Shulgin, a giant in this field, prefers the use of cyclohexylamine as the base. Strike would not tend to doubt this man s choice, especially since Strike is also getting the... 

Carbonyl Compounds. Cychc ketals and acetals (dioxolanes) are produced from reaction of propylene oxide with ketones and aldehydes, respectively. Suitable catalysts iaclude stannic chloride, quaternary ammonium salts, glycol sulphites, and molybdenum acetyl acetonate or naphthenate (89—91). Lactones come from Ph4Sbl-cataly2ed reaction with ketenes (92). 

Ammonium acetate and sodium methoxide are effective catalysts for the ammonolysis of soybean oil (49). Polyfunctional amines and amino alcohols such as ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, and diethanolamine react to give useful intermediates. Ethylenediamine can form either a monoamide or a diamide depending on the mole ratio of reactants. With an equimolar ratio of reactants and a temperature of >250° C, a cyclization reaction occurs to give imidazolines with ethylenediamine (48) ... 

A green chemistry variation makes use of solventless conditions to minimize the waste stream from reactions of this type. To a mortar are added aldehyde 67, ketone 68 and solid sodium hydroxide. The mixture is ground and within 5 minutes aldol product 69 is produced. Addition of the second ketone and further grinding affords the 1,5-diketone 70, which can be isolated and cyclized to pyridine 71 with ammonium acetate. The authors report that this method can substantially reduce the solid waste (by over 29 times) and is about 600% more cost effective than previously published procedures. 

It has been shown that TMSI is capable of mediating the reaction at room temperature. The classical three component coupling was carried out using aldehyde 82 and ketoester 83 with ammonium acetate in acetonitrile at room temperature with in situ generated TMSI. This gave a 73-80% yield of 1,4-dihydropyridines 84 in 6-8 h. The best results were obtained with 1 equivalent of TMSCl and 1 equivalent of Nal. 

Direct bromination readily yields the 6-bromo derivative (111), just as with uracil. Analogous chlorination and iodination requires the presence of alkalies and even then proceeds in low yield. The 6-chloro derivative (113) was also obtained by partial hydrolysis of the postulated 3,5,6-trichloro-l,2,4-triazine (e.g.. Section II,B,6). The 6-bromo derivative (5-bromo-6-azauracil) served as the starting substance for several other derivatives. It was converted to the amino derivative (114) by ammonium acetate which, by means of sodium nitrite in hydrochloric acid, yielded a mixture of 6-chloro and 6-hydroxy derivatives. A modified Schiemann reaction was not suitable for preparing the 6-fluoro derivative. The 6-hydroxy derivative (115) (an isomer of cyanuric acid and the most acidic substance of this group, pKa — 2.95) was more conveniently prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of the 6-amino derivative. Further the bromo derivative was reacted with ethanolamine to prepare the 6-(2-hydroxyethyl) derivative however, this could not be converted to the corresponding 2-chloroethyl derivative. Similarly, the dimethylamino, morpholino, and hydrazino derivatives were prepared from the 6-bromo com-pound. ... 

Extension of this work by studying the reaction of 3-methyl-5-nitro-pyrimidin-4(3//)-one with -X-arylketones in the presence of ammonium acetate surprisingly revealed the formation of a mixture of 4-arylpyrimidines and 6-arylpyridin-2(l//)-ones (00JCS(P1)27). The ratio between pyridine and pyrimidine formation is dependent on the substituent X. With electron-donating substituents the formation of the pyridin-2(l//)-ones is favored, with electron-attracting substituents the formation of the pyrimidine derivatives (Scheme 21) In the formation of the 6-arylpyridin-2(l//)-ones the C-4- C-5-C-6 part of the pyrimidone-4 is the building block in the construction of the pyridine ring. Therefore, the pyrimidone can be considered as an activated o -nitroformylacetic acid (Scheme 21). 

The reaction of relatively simple starting materials, coumarin 40, piperidone 37 and ammonium acetate, leads in a single step to the complex bridged tetracyclic compound 44. The reaction can be rationalized by assuming formation of the iminc 38 from reaction of 37, with ammonia. Conjugate addition of the eneamine-like tautomer 39 to the excellent Michael acceptor 40 will... 

Acetyl-2-Dimethylsulfamylthioxanthene A suspension of 2-dimethylsulfamylthioxanthene (12.22 grams, 0.04 mol) in 60 ml of dimethoxymethane is cooled to 0°C and 17.2 ml of a 2.91 M solution of n-butyl lithium in heptane is added slowly in a nitrogen atmosphere while the temperature is maintained below 10°C. After an additional 10 minutes of stirring, the cooling bath is removed and a solution of 2.96 grams of methyl acetate in 20 ml of di-methoxyethane is added during % hour and then the mixture is stirred at 25°C for an additional 3 hours. The reaction mixture is then treated with 60 ml of ethyl acetate and with 60 ml of a 10% aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The layers are separated and the ethyl acetate layer is washed once with water (25 ml) and then the solvent is removed by distillation. 

Reactions with aqueous solutions. Uniform dissolution or corrosion of metals in acid, alkaline or neutral solutions (e.g. dissolution of zinc in hydrochloric acid or in caustic soda solution general corrosion of zinc in water or during atmospheric exposure). Reactions with non-aqueous solution (e.g. dissolution of copper in a solution of ammonium acetate and bromine in alcohol). 

Furo[3,4-e)(l,2,4]triazines 204 (91 MI 1) were prepared by the reaction of 199 or its analogues with aroylhydrazines in the presence of ammonium acetate in acetic acid. Similarly, the respective 3,3 -bis(furo[3,4-e](l,2,4]triazine) was prepared by reacting 199 with oxalic acid hydrazide (91MI5). 

Fig. 7.1.5 Fluorescence spectra of purified Chaetopterus photoprotein (CPA) in 10 mM ammonium acetate, pH 6.7 (solid lines), and the bioluminescence spectrum of the luminous slime of Chaetopterus in 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.2 (dashed line). Note that the luminescence spectrum of Chaetopterus photoprotein in 2 ml of 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.2, containing 0.5 M NaCl, 5 pi of old dioxane and 2 pi of 10 mM FeSC>4 (Amax 453-455 nm) matched exactly with the fluorescence emission spectrum of the photoprotein. No significant change was observed in the fluorescence spectrum after the luminescence reaction.
