Allylic amine is a less reactive leaving group[7], but the allylic ammonium salts 214 (quaternary ammonium salts) can be used for allylalion(l30,131]. Allylic sulfonium salts are also used for the allylation[130]. The allylic nitrile in the cyclic aminonitrile 215 can be displaced probably via x-allylic complex formation. The possibility of the formation of the dihydropyridinium salts 216 and subsequent conjugate addition are less likelyfl 32],...

Cram has published several studies indicating that complexation of ammonium salts was greatly enhanced by using cyclic polyethers over the corresponding acyclic ones. These molecules were analogs of the binaphthyl systems under study and were generally prepared by phenoxide substitution on the appropriate tosylate. The approach is illustrated below in Eq. (7.9). ... 

In the case of the bases derived from quaternary heterocyclic ammonium salts, the carbinolamines (5) can react as cyclic aldehyde-ammonias with many reagents with which the amino-aldehyde (7) could react. However, reactions of the carbinolamines which are not characteristic of amino-aldehydes are also known. Carbinolamines can easily be reconverted into the quaternary salts by the action of dilute acids, and they form alkyl ethers very easily with alcohols. If these last reactions do not occur, then this is convincing evidence for the base possessing the amino-aldehyde structure. However, if these reactions do occur this does not provide unambiguous confirmation of the carbinolamine structure. They are also given by the bi-molecular ethers (8), and, in the case of a tautomeric equilibrium... 

As an over-all conclusion, it can be stated that the assumption of ring-chain tautomerism in the pseudo bases derived from the heterocyclic quaternary ammonium salts is quite unnecessary as an explanation of the formation of two (cyclic and open-chain) types of deriva-...

Arai and co-workers have used chiral ammonium salts 89 and 90 (Scheme 1.25) derived from cinchona alkaloids as phase-transfer catalysts for asymmetric Dar-zens reactions (Table 1.12). They obtained moderate enantioselectivities for the addition of cyclic 92 (Entries 4—6) [43] and acyclic 91 (Entries 1-3) chloroketones [44] to a range of alkyl and aromatic aldehydes [45] and also obtained moderate selectivities on treatment of chlorosulfone 93 with aromatic aldehydes (Entries 7-9) [46, 47]. Treatment of chlorosulfone 93 with ketones resulted in low enantioselectivities. 

In our previous works[8,9] on the synthesis of various 5-membered cyclic carbonate, quaternary ammonium salts such as tetrabutylammonium halides showed excellent catalytic activities in relatively mild reaction conditions, under atmospheric pressure and below 140 U. hi this work, several kinds of quaternary ammonium salts have been used for the transesterification reactions of the ethylaie carbonate with methanol to DMC and ethylene glycol. 

Silica gel-based catalytic systems have been described as efficient promoters for a number of organic reactions.28 Illustrative examples include the oxidative cleavage of double bonds catalyzed by silica-supported KM11O4,29 reaction of epoxides with lithium halides to give /i-halohydrins performed on silica gel,30 selective deprotection of terf-butyldimethylsilyl ethers catalyzed by silica gel-supported phosphomolybdic acid (PMA),31 and synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide over silica-supported quaternary ammonium salts.32...

The reaction of S02(NH2)2 with sulfuryl chloride followed by the treatment with ammonia produce the ammonium salt of cyclic, chair-shaped [N3S306]3 (47a) anion.121 The selenium analogue [N3Se306]3 (47b) adopts a similar conformation.

Additional work was carried out by the GE group on optimization of the reaction yield and to eliminate unwanted linear oligomers [14], Three side reactions which interfere with synthesis of cyclics were identified reaction of the amine with acid chloride to form an acyl ammonium salt, followed by decomposition to an amide (Equation (3.2)) reaction with CH2CI2 to form a salt (Equation (3.3)) hydrolysis of the acid chloride, forming carboxylate via catalysis... 

Cyclic carbonates have been prepared in the regiospecific ring-opening of oxiranes by butyrolactones catalysed by the quaternary ammonium salt (Scheme 3.6)... 

Cyclic enones can be oxidatively cleaved by a range of reagents to yield keto acids. As ozonolysis can be quite hazardous for large-scale preparations with the build up of ozonides, the procedure has been modified using quaternary ammonium salts to catalyse the transfer of peroxide anion for a rapid oxidative work-up [32]. Two methods are available but, in the safer procedure (10.7.15.A), there is no effective build-up of the ozonide. 

Reduction of conjugated carbonyl compounds using stoichiometric amounts of the ammonium salt shows little advantage over the sodium salt in acidic methanol [11] with both reagents producing allylic alcohols (58-88% for acyclic compounds and 15-64% for cyclic compounds) by selective 1,2-reduction of the conjugated systems. Aldehydes, ketones and conjugated enones are also reduced by tetra-n-butylammonium cyanoborohydride in HMPA [11, 12], whereas haloalkanes and alkanesulphonic esters are cleaved reductively under similar conditions [13]. 

The only cationic surfactant (Fig. 23) found in any quantity in the environment is ditallow dimethylammonium chloride (DTDMAC), which is mainly the quaternary ammonium salt distearyldimethylammonium chloride (DSDMAC). The organic chemistry and characterization of cationic surfactants has been reported and reviewed [330 - 332 ]. The different types of cationic surfactants are fatty acid amides [333], amidoamine [334], imidazoline [335], petroleum feed stock derived surfactants [336], nitrile-derived surfactants [337], aromatic and cyclic surfactants [338], non-nitrogen containing compounds [339], polymeric cationic surfactants [340], and amine oxides [341]. 

Use of TMSCl in combination with HMPA, DMAP, or TMEDA all favored 1,2-addition over 1,4-addition. Sequential a-alkoxyalkylcuprate conjugate addition, enolate trapping with TMSCl, and silyl enol ether alkylation provides a one-pot synthesis of tetrahydrofurans (Scheme 3.35) [129]. Cyclic enones afford as-fused tetrahydrofurans, while acyclic systems give complex mixtures of diastereomers. a-Alkoxyalkylcopper reagents also participate in allylic substitution reactions with ammonium salts [127]. 

Further data from the polarography and cyclic voltammetry in dimethylformamide are given in Table 5.1 for a series of overall two-electron processes leading to cleavage of a benzyl-heteroatom bond. The first electron transfer step is of the dissociative electron transfer type leading to a benzyl radical. This radical is reduced firrther, at the working potential, to the benzyl carbanion. The carbanion fi om benzyl chlorides, esters, ethers, sulphides, sulphones and quaternary ammonium salts can be trapped by carbon dioxide to form phenylacetic acid [2]. Reac-... 

Solid cyclic carboxylic anhydrides react with gaseous ammonia to give amide ammonium salts with quantitative yield. This has been observed with the labile Diels-Alder adduct 259 [25] (Scheme 38). Aliphatic amine vapors are equally able to open anhydride rings to form the amide salts from where the free amide acids can be obtained in 100% yield. The reaction of 261 with ethylamine to give 262 is an example of a large-scale preparative application [11-12]. Conversely, solid pyromellitic bis-anhydride (263) and methylamine vapor react exother-mally (rise to 95 °C) and quantitatively to yield the tetraamide 264. Interest-... 

Friend88 specifically criticized Werner s theory and emphasized the differences between his own latent valencies and Werner s Nebenvalenzen. He applied his new theory of valency to ammonium salts, metal ammines and halide double salts , and he proposed that for hexacoordinate central atoms a hexatomic shell forms around the metal but that all the elements or groups are joined together by latent valencies and not necessarily to the metal itself. In 1916, Friend applied his cyclic theory of complexes in detail to the structures of the chlorides of hexaamminecobalt(III), chloro-pentaamminecobalt(III) and dichlorotetraamminecobalt(III) and emphasized four basic differences between his theory and Werner s.89... 

Cyclizations of alkenic amines and imines using organoiron complexes to generate bicyclic 3-lactams are discussed in Chapter 3.1 of this volume. Examples of heterocyclizations of alkenic NA/-dialkylamine and pyridine derivatives to form cyclic quaternary ammonium salts are cited in the Staninets review.Ic A cyclization of an enol thioether has been used to generate a thiazolidine intermediate used in cephalosporin synthesis (equation 131).262... 

To facilitate the cyclizations of nitrogen-centered radicals, one need only increase the electronegativity at nitrogen. This makes the radical more electrophilic (which accelerates the cyclization), and strengthens the forming bonds (which shifts the equilibrium to the cyclic product). Amminium radical cations are more well-behaved in cyclizations than aminyl radicals, and these radical cations can either be formed directly from ammonium salts, or by protonation of aminyl radicals (which are relatively weak bases and require strong acids for protonation). Metal-complexed aminyl radicals are highly reactive, and amidyl radicals are also useful.178...
