Aniline derivatives compounds

Recently, the synthesis and evaluation of a new pyrazinone class of tryptase inhibitors has been reported. One step in the preparation of these compounds involved regioselective chloride displacements from a dichloropyrazinone scaffold using amines and anilines as nucleophiles. The aniline reactions required the use of microwave-assisted heating for 12 min at 120 °C, as illustrated in Scheme 23 [84]. Although the aniline-derived compounds (e.g., 50) were modest inhibitors, other compounds from this study, synthesized by classical heating methods, were shown to be highly potent tryptase inhibitors.

Production figures for the aminophenols are scarce, the compounds usually being classified along with many other aniline derivatives (86). Most production of the technical grade materials (95% purity) occurs on-site as they are chiefly used as intermediate reactants in continuous chemical syntheses. World production of the fine chemicals (99% purity) is probably no more than a few hundred metric tons yearly, at prices of about 45 per kg in 1990. 

Guanidines. Guanidines (10) were one of the first aniline derivatives used as accelerators. They are formed by reaction of two moles of an aromatic amine with one mole of cyanogen chloride. Diphenylguanidine (DPG) has enjoyed a resurgence ia demand as an activator for sulfenamides and a co-accelerator ia tire tread compounds which employ siUca fillers for low rolling resistance. Guanidines alone show too Htde activity to be extensively used as primary accelerators. There were no U.S. producers as of mid-1996. 

Certain reactions between carbonyl compounds and nucleophiles are catalyzed by amines. Some of these reactions are of importance for forming carbon-carbon bonds, and these are discussed in Chapter 2 of Part B. The mechanistic principle can be illustrated by considering the catalysis of the reaction between aldehydes and hydroxylamine by aniline derivatives. 

Reaction of aniline derivatives with 4-chlorobutyroyl chloride followed by cyclization with sodium ethoxide and subsequent thionation promoted by sonication gave the corresponding A -arylpyrrolidine-2-thiones 126. Zinc-mediated condensation of diethyl bromomalonate with 126 using iodine as activator gave the vinylogous urethanes 127 whose cyclization with PPA gave the tricyclic compound 128 which upon hydrolysis afforded the acid 129 (96TL9403). 

A compound closely related to classical adrenergic agonists in which the para hydroxy function is however replaced by an amino group has been investigated for its activity as a growth promoter in domestic animals. Acylation of the aniline derivative 26 with chloracetyl chloride will afford acetophenone 27 the amino-ketone 28 is obtained on reaction with isopropylamine. Removal of the protecting group (29) followed by reduction of the ketone affords cimaterol (30) 5J. 

Milner (1992) recently described a novel and versatile modification of the Balz-Schiemann reaction. The amine is diazotized with solid nitrosonium tetrafluoro-borate in CH2C12 and, without isolation, the diazonium salt is heated and yields the fluoroarene in good yield. The method is also applicable to aniline derivatives bearing carboxy and hydroxy substituents, compounds which give poor yields in the classical procedure. 

Meerwein reactions can conveniently be used for syntheses of intermediates which can be cyclized to heterocyclic compounds, if an appropriate heteroatom substituent is present in the 2-position of the aniline derivative used for diazotization. For instance, Raucher and Koolpe (1983) described an elegant method for the synthesis of a variety of substituted indoles via the Meerwein arylation of vinyl acetate, vinyl bromide, or 2-acetoxy-l-alkenes with arenediazonium salts derived from 2-nitroani-line (Scheme 10-46). In the Meerwein reaction one obtains a mixture of the usual arylation/HCl-addition product (10.9) and the carbonyl compound 10.10, i. e., the product of hydrolysis of 10.9. For the subsequent reductive cyclization to the indole (10.11) the mixture of 10.9 and 10.10 can be treated with any of a variety of reducing agents, preferably Fe/HOAc. 

Phthalic anhydride condenses with the aniline derivative in the presence of zinc or aluminum chlorides to yield the intermediate benzoyl-benzoic acid, which subsequently reacts with l,3-bis-V,V-dimethylaniline in acetic anhydride to yield the phthalide. The above compound gives a violet-gray image when applied to a clay developer. Clearly this synthesis is also very flexible and variations in shades of color formers have been obtained by varying the aniline components and also by using phthalic anhydrides substituted, for example, by nitro groups or chlorine atoms. Such products have excellent properties as color formers and have been used commercially. Furthermore, this synthetic route is of great importance for the preparation of heterocyclic substituted phthalides, as will be seen later. 

Replacement of the remaining ether oxygen by basic nitrogen leads to a compound that shows anti-malarial activity. Nitration of aniline derivative 38 leads to substitution para to the alkyl group. (Protonation of the amine under the reaction conditions leads to deactivation of the position para to that group relative to that para to alkyl. The position meta to the protonated amine is less deactivated.)... 

The syntheses of these three compounds share a common route as described by Brickner et al. [53] and Barbachyn et al. [54]. Namely, the coupling reaction of 3,4-difluoronitrobenzene (82) with piperazine, morpholine, or thiomorpholine to yield the corresponding 4-substituted 3-fluoro-nitrobenzene (83), which upon reduction gives rise to the aniline derivative (84). Carbobenzoxy protection of the active nitrogen of 84 using benzyloxy-carbonyl chloride (CbzCl) results in the formation of carbamates 85a and 85b. Treatment of 85a,b with n-BuLi and (i -glycidyl butyrate yields a 5-(R)-... 

MM2 parameterization of nitro compounds, enamines and aniline derivatives... 

Parameterization of MM2 for nitro compounds, enamines and aniline derivatives has been performed in conjunction with the parameterization of MM3 and will be discussed in Sections II.C.3 and II.C.4. 

If only N-substituted aniline derivatives are considered, the IP( 2) value is observed close to that of the parent compound and to vary in a rather narrow range (8.8-9.1 eV). On the other hand, for IPfe) (7.0-7.7 eV) and IP(rtN) (9.5-10.3 eV) larger deviations relative to unsubstituted aniline and greater variation with substitution are found. This can be explained by perturbations of the corresponding benzene MOs by the substituents which is minimal for H2, because it has no coefficients on C-l and N (Cs symmetry). In asymmetric aniline derivatives also JI2 is expected to interact to a substantial extent with n n-... 

Julolidine (3) and benzoquinuclidine (4) can be considered as aniline derivatives with parallel and perpendicular electron lone-pairs, respectively. Relative to N,N-dimethylaniline (5), the simplest tertiary aromatic amine, the n orbital of julolidine is destabilized by 0.20 eV, while that of benzoquinuclidine is destabilized by 0.80 eV42. In the latter compound there is no n/jt conjugation while in the former it has a maximum value and, accordingly, the splitting of the first and the third IP is much smaller (0.70 eV) than in the former (2.55 eV) compound. 

The rearrangement reaction continues to be of synthetic utility, often involved in industrial processes. Patent references (e.g. Reference 48) refer to the formation of 4-amino phenols. Often the reactant nitro compound is reduced (to the hydroxylamine) in an acid environment so that the two-stage reaction can be accomplished as a one-pot synthesis. 4-Amino phenol itself 45 can be made in high yield directly from nitrobenzene49 and the 4-methoxy aniline derivative 46 similarly from 2-methylnitrobenzene by hydrogenation in MeOH/H2S0450.

One-electron oxidation of aniline derivatives gives a radical-cation in which the unpaired electron is distributed over both the nitrogen atom and the aromatic system. The further reactions of these intermediates more resemble those of aromatic compounds than of aliphatic amines. Some of the radical-cations are very stable in solution Wurster s blue, prepared by oxidation of tetramethyl-1,4-pheny ene-diamine [152], and Wurster s red from N,N-dimethyI-l,4-phenylenediamine [153] have been known since 1879. They were recognised as radical-cations by Mi-chaelis [154]. 

Aniline is a simple aromatic compound composed of an amino group attached to a benzene ring. Other aromatic amines are aniline derivatives. Some examples of aromatic amines are shown in Figure 13-2.
