A mechanism for this reaction involving nucleophilic attack of the ylide on the cyanide group and formation of the P=N linkage via a four-centred intermediate was formulated. The structure of this phosphazene was confirmed by its synthesis from the vinyl azide, Ph(N3)C=CHPh, and triphenylphosphine. Phosphoranes stabilized by electron-withdrawing... 

A similar result had previously been observed using the azide synthesis, and the unusual stability of these triphosphazenes has now been rationalized in terms of conversion of (27) into the relatively stable cyclic product (28). Evidence for the structure (28) was deduced from its n.m.r. spectrum... 

The products are isolated in good yield in a one-stage synthesis from starting materials that are readily available in the main. An alternative method involves the decomposition of the corresponding azides.9,12 These compounds are less readily available and are more hazardous to use than are the nitro compounds used in the present synthesis. This synthesis also gives better yields than the cyclization using ferrous oxalate, 2,13 which is performed under much harsher conditions. 

Curtius rearrangement of the heteroaroyl azides, obtained from the reaction of the carboxylic acid chlorides with sodium azide, provides a route to the amino-pyrroles and -indoles (e.g. B-70MI30504, B-77MI30506, 78CPB1054), which, because of the ease of synthesis of the carboxylic acids, is frequently preferable to reduction of the nitro compounds. 

The elegant asymmetrization methodology of a meso compound, achieved in high enantioexcess under chiral environment, was the highlight of the total synthesis of (+)-pancratistatin (94) reported by Trost and Pulley (31]. The synthesis commenced with ( )-conduritol-A (130), obtained from p-benzoquinone, (Scheme 18) which was converted into the acetonide 131 and thence, via the dialkoxide to the cis-bis carbonate 132 (Scheme 19). The chiral n-ailyl palladium complex A formed on treatment erf 132 with the catalyst generated from chiral bis-amide 133 and n-allyl palladium chloride underwent azide substitution from the less hindered face of the molecule to provide the monocarbonate 134 in excellent yield and with high optical induction. 

The base-catalyzed condensation of a-azido esters and ketones with aromatic aldehydes has recently been developed as a new vinyl azide synthesis.42,43 The yields range from moderate to excellent in some cases. The thermal decomposition of ethyl a-azidocinnamate (87) in xylene gives only 2-ethoxycarbonylindole (88).44 The unstable 2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenyl-l-azirine could be detected if the thermolysis was carried out at a lower temperature. This fact indicates that the 1-azirine is probably an intermediate leading to the indole, although the intermediacy of the vinyl nitrene could not be established. This result is similar to that observed by Isomura et al. on the pyrolysis of terminal vinyl azides.27,28... 

Irradiation of manganese azides derived from Mn(III) porphyrin, cyclam, and polyamide complexes represents one of the earliest methods reported for the preparation of nitrido manganese complexes (Eq. (40)) [50], Additional methods have become available for the synthesis of manganese nitrides that utilize ammonia in combination with oxidants such as Cl2, PhIO, NaCIO, and NBS (Eq. (41)) [51-53]. Employing these methods, the manganese nitrides incorporating porphyrin, phath-locyanine, cyclam, salen, and bidentate Schiff base complexes have been documen-... 

Phenylethylamine has been made by a number of reactions, many of which are unsuitable for preparative purposes. Only the most important methods, from a preparative point of view, are given here. The present method is adapted from that of Adkins,1 which in turn was based upon those of Mignonac,2 von Braun and coworkers,3 and Mailhe.4 Benzyl cyanide has been converted to the amine by catalytic reduction with palladium on charcoal,5 with palladium on barium sulfate,6 and with Adams catalyst 7 by chemical reduction with sodium and alcohol,8 and with zinc dust and mineral acids.9 Hydrocinnamic acid has been converted to the azide and thence by the Curtius rearrangement to /3-phenyl-ethylamine 10 also the Hofmann degradation of hydrocinnamide has been used successfully.11 /3-Nitrostyrene,12 phenylthioaceta-mide,13 and the benzoyl derivative of mandelonitrile 14 all yield /3-phenylethylamine upon reduction. The amine has also been prepared by cleavage of N- (/3-phenylethyl) -phthalimide 15 with hydrazine by the Delepine synthesis from /3-phenylethyl iodide and hexamethylenetetramine 16 by the hydrolysis of the corre-... 

One of the methods for the synthesis of alkyl azides is based on the regioselective addition of mercury(II) azide, generated from mercury(II) acetate and sodium azide, to alkenes in water/te-trahydrofuran (1 1) to afford /i-azidoalkylineiciiry compounds which are then reductively demercurated to alkyl azides5-7. Completely diastereoselective cis addition occurred with norbornene (exo addition)5 and cyclopropenes6. 

The above directions are based upon the methods of Hoogewerff and Van Doip, as modified by Holm and by Hale and Honan. -Alanine has also been prepared by the action of h3q)obromite upon succinimide and hydrolysis of the resulting /3-ureidopropionic acid by the action of ammonia upon /3-iodo-propionic acid by the hydrolysis of methyl carbomethoxy-/8-aminopropionate, obtained by the action of sodiiun methoxide on succinbromimide by the reduction of 3-nitrosopropionic acid by heating ethyl acrylate with alcoholic ammonia from succinyl-glycine ester by the azide synthesis and by the action of liquid ammonia upon methyl acrylate. ...
