Aryl aminations

Friedel-Crafts reactions are normally not successful when attempted on an aryl amine but can be carried out readily once the ammo group is protected...

Antioxidants markedly retard the rate of autoxidation throughout the useful life of the polymer. Chain-terminating antioxidants have a reactive —NH or —OH functional group and include compounds such as secondary aryl amines or hindered phenols. They function by transfer of hydrogen to free radicals, principally to peroxy radicals. Butylated hydroxytoluene is a widely used example. 

Phosgene reacts with a multitude of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and carbon centers. Reaction with primary alkyl and aryl amines yield carbamoyl chlorides which are readily dehydrohalogenated to isocyanates. Secondary amines also form carbamoyl chlorides. 

Antistatic polystyrenes have been developed in terms of additives or coatings to minimise primarily dust collecting problems in storage (see Antistatic agents). Large Hsts of commercial antistatic additives have been pubhshed (41). For styrene-based polymers, alkyl and/or aryl amines, amides, quaternary ammonium compounds, anionics, etc, are all used.

Materials that promote the decomposition of organic hydroperoxide to form stable products rather than chain-initiating free radicals are known as peroxide decomposers. Amongst the materials that function in this way may be included a number of mercaptans, sulphonic acids, zinc dialkylthiophosphate and zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate. There is also evidence that some of the phenol and aryl amine chain-breaking antioxidants may function in addition by this mechanism. In saturated hydrocarbon polymers diauryl thiodipropionate has achieved a preeminent position as a peroxide decomposer. 

Aromatic nitro compounds are often strongly colored. They frequently produce characteristic, colored, quinoid derivatives on reaction with alkali or compounds with reactive methylene groups. Reduction to primary aryl amines followed by diazotization and coupling with phenols yields azo dyestuffs. Aryl amines can also react with aldehydes with formation of Schiff s bases to yield azomethines. 

Protection of primary aryl amines as the triazene is accomplished by diazotiza-tion of the amine followed by reaction with pyrrolidine in aq. KOH. This group is stable to metalation of the aromatic ring by metal halogen exchange. The amine is recovered by reductive cleavage with Ni-Al alloy (aq. KOH, rt, 37-68% yield). ... 

General Conditions for each step and selectivity of m-substituted anilines As previously mentioned, Hauser and Reynolds reported on factors governing the first step of the Conrad-Limpach reaction but they tvere by no means exhaustive. Other than the conditions reported above for the first step, HClAleOH, CHCI3 or CHCI2 (neat or with acid catalyst), PhMe or PhH with removal of water with or without acid catalyst, or EtOH/AcOH/CaS04 were reported to provide the desired enamino-ester from an aryl amine and 3-keto-ester. Hauser and Reynolds also noted that o-nitroaniline and o-nitro-p-methoxyaniline failed to form the desired enamino-ester under conditions which they reported. 

Aryl amine 31 was found to react readily with acetylene dicarboxylate 32 to yield fumarate 33. Several similar reactions were reported and found to be general. The... 

The Knorr quinoline synthesis refers to the formation of a-hydroxyquinolines 4 from P-ketoesters 2 and aryl amines 1. The reaction usually requires heating well above 100°C. However, some cases do exist when the cyclization takes place in the presence of a catalytic amount of mineral acid at temperatures as low as -10 °C. The intermediate anilide 3 undergoes cyclization by dehydration with concentrated sulfuric acid. The reaction is conceptually close to the Doebner-Miller and Gould-Jacobs reactions. ... 

The first cyclization of acetanilide was carried out by Knorr in 1883 who subsequently demonstrated that the reaction was also applicable to acetoacylated aryl amines that have a vacant ortho position. ... 

Chapman and co-workershave shown that, in the reactions of nitro-2-chloropyridines with piperidine, aryl amines, or pyridine bases, a 5-nitro group activates more than a 3-nitro group (cf. Table VII, p. 276). 

Good yields of 10-aryl-3,6-dinitroacridones were obtained merely by heating 2,2, 4,4 -tetranitrobenzophenone (419) with an excess of the corresponding aryl amines at 125°C. For example, aniline provided 420 in 80% yield (Eq. 38). The reaction is fairly general for meta- and para-substituted anilines, though it proceeds less readily with orf/io-substituted compounds (79JCS(P1)1364). A method of isolation of the intermediate diarylamine in the synthesis of certain 10-aryl-3,6-dinitroacridones from 2,2, 4,4 -tetranitrobenzophenone has also been described (93JCR(M)2779). 

Arenediazonium ions 1 can undergo a coupling reaction with electron-rich aromatic compounds 2 like aryl amines and phenols to yield azo compounds 3. The substitution reaction at the aromatic system 2 usually takes place para to the activating group probably for steric reasons. If the para position is already occupied by a substituent, the new substitution takes place ortho to the activating group. 

For aryl amines the reaction mixture should be slightly acidic or neutral, in order to have a high concentration of free amine as well as arenediazonium ions. Aryl ammonium species—ArNH3+—are unreactive. The coupling of the diazonium species with aromatic amines proceeds by an analogous mechanism ... 

With primary and secondary aryl amines a reaction at the amino nitrogen can occur, leading to formation of an aryl triazene 5 ... 

Arenediazonium ions are relatively weak electrophiles, and therefore react only with electron-rich aromatic substrates like aryl amines and phenols. Aromatic compounds like anisole, mesitylene, acylated anilines or phenolic esters are ordinarily not reactive enough to be suitable substrates however they may be coupled... 

For the in situ preparation of the required arenediazonium salt from an aryl amine by application of the diazotization reaction, an acid HX is used, that corresponds to the halo substituent X to be introduced onto the aromatic ring. Otherwise—e.g. when using HCl/CuBr—a mixture of aryl chloride and aryl bromide will be obtained. The copper-(l) salt 2 (chloride or bromide) is usually prepared by dissolving the appropriate sodium halide in an aqueous solution of copper-(ll) sulfate and then adding sodium hydrogensulfite to reduce copper-(ll) to copper-(1). Copper-(l) cyanide CuCN can be obtained by treatment of copper-(l) chloride with sodium cyanide. 

The preparation of an aryl fluoride—e.g. fluorobenzene 3—starting from an aryl amine—e.g. aniline 1—via an intermediate arenediazonium tetrafluoroborate 2, is called the Schiemann reaction (also called the Balz-Schiemann reaction) The diazotization of aniline 1 in the presence of tetrafluoroborate leads to formation of a benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate 2 that can be converted into fluorobenzene 3 by thermolysis. 

As noted previously, arylamines are generally less basic than alkylamines. Anilinium ion has pKa = 4.63, for instance, whereas methylammonium ion has pfCa = 10.64. Arylamines are less basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are delocalized by interaction with the aromatic ring tt electron system and are less available for bonding to H+. In resonance terms, aryl-amines are stabilized relative to alkylamines because of their five resonance forms. 

Also noteworthy is the condensation of dimethyl phthalate (71) with TV.A-bis methoxycar-bonyl)alkyl- and -aryl]amines to give 3F/-3-benzazepines which exist as the intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded enol forms, e.g. 72, rather than the generally more stable benzazepinone tautomers.14...
