Nitrogen-carbon bonds reactions with

The NAD- and NADP-dependent dehydrogenases catalyze at least six different types of reactions simple hydride transfer, deamination of an amino acid to form an a-keto acid, oxidation of /3-hydroxy acids followed by decarboxylation of the /3-keto acid intermediate, oxidation of aldehydes, reduction of isolated double bonds, and the oxidation of carbon-nitrogen bonds (as with dihydrofolate reductase). 

The electrochemical cyclization reaction is less successful with the N-(3-phenylallyl)acetanilide 60 which has two potential bond cleavage sites from the radical-anion [173]. Carbon-nitrogen bond cleavage with loss of a 3-phenylallyl radical, leaving an amide nitrogen anion, is favoured over carbon-chlorine bond cleavage. 

Not only acetylene derivatives do undergo palladium catalysed intarmolecular carbon-nitrogen bond formation with amines. The similar reaction of olefins in a Wacker-type process also leads to ring closure. (0-Aminopentenes bearing a suitable leaving group in the 4-position were converted to pyrroles in a cyclization-isomerisation-elimination sequence (3.65.),82... 

As an alternative to primary amines in these double carbon-nitrogen bond forming reactions, Maes has demonstrated that 22 can undergo consecutive palladium-catalyzed carbon-nitrogen bond formation with orfho-dihalopyridine derivatives (Scheme 6.42). This reaction proceeds in good yield with a number of amidine variants, and provides a route to the construction of polycyclic imidazoles [54]. 

Chemical Properties The formation of salts with acids is the most characteristic reaction of amines. Since the amines are soluble in organic solvents and the salts are usually not soluble, acidic products can be conveniendy separated by the reaction with an amine, the unshared electron pair on the amine nitrogen acting as proton acceptor. Amines are good nucleophiles reactions of amines at the nitrogen atom have as a first step the formation of a bond with the unshared electron pair of nitrogen, eg, reactions with acid anhydrides, haUdes, and esters, with carbon dioxide or carbon disulfide, and with isocyanic or isothiocyanic acid derivatives. 

In the synthesis of Win 57,273 the attachment of the group, a 2,6-dimethylpytidinyl group, involves formation of a carbon-carbon bond rather than a carbon-nitrogen bond. The method for the attachment of this group is a palladium mediated coupling reaction (77,78) of 4-tributylstarmyl-2,6-dimethylpyridine [122033-61 -8] with a 7-halo quinolone (26). 

Other examples of addition reactions that form carbon-nitrogen bonds are the reactions of hexafluoro-2-butyne with various heterocydes [77], aromatic... 

Reaction of the tetrasilanes with 1.5 equiv. of aryl isocyanide affords a four-membered ring product, in which all the Si-Si bonds and the carbon-nitrogen bond of the isocyano group are cleaved and reorganized (Equation (54)).135... 

Amines and amides undergo oxidation at or adjacent to nitrogen (Scheme 27). A neutral amine, for example, can be oxidized to afford a cation radical (117 to 116). Similarly, electrooxidation of the anion produced via deprotonation of a secondary amine leads to an aminyl radical (119) that is capable of participating in carbon-nitrogen bond-forming reactions with remotely tethered alkenes. 

Adhesives based on hydrolysis resistant chemistry (i.e., adhesives D and E) show a high retention of initial properties after exposure to an aggressive corrosion environment and the failure occurs cohesively within the adhesive. The cure reactions of these adhesives involve the formation of hydrolysis resistant carbon-nitrogen bonds in reactions involving the free N-H functionality of the Versamid or Genamid hardener with the oxirane functionality of the epoxy resin that is present in the adhesive formulation ... 

The radical-anions of aliphatic nitrocompounds are detectable in aqueous solution as transient intermediates formed during continuous electrolysis in the cavity of the esr spectrometer [4], Decay of the species occurs by protonation and then further reactions. 2-Methyl-2-nitropropane has no acidic hydrogens so that it can be examined in aqueous alkaline solution where the radical-anion is not protonated. Over the pH range 9-11, this radical-anion decays by a first order process with k = 0.8 0.1 s at 26 C. Decay results from cleavage of the carbon-nitrogen bond to give a carbon centred radical and nitrite ion. Ultimately, the di-(ferr,-butyI)nitrone radical is formed in follow-up reactions [5],...
