Carboxylic acid amid 3 molecules

Cascade Blue cadaverine and Cascade Blue ethylenediamine both contain a carboxamide-linked diamine spacer off the 8-methoxy group of the pyrene trisulfonic acid backbone. The cadaverine version contains a 5-carbon spacer, while the ethylenediamine compound has only a 2-carbon arm. Both can be coupled to carboxylic acid-containing molecules using a carbodiimide reaction (Chapter 3, Section 1). Since Cascade Blue derivatives are water-soluble, the carbodiimide EDC can be used to couple these fluorophores to proteins and other carboxylate-containing molecules in aqueous solutions at a pH range of 4.5-7.5. The reaction forms amide bond linkages (Figure 9.39). 

An alternative to the azlactone procedure for the preparation of short-chain dehydropeptides 19 is offered by the direct condensation of an a-oxo acid 17 on heating with one equivalent of a carboxylic acid amide or by the treatment of an a-oxo acid 17 with a nitrile in the presence of dry HC1 gas (Scheme 6). If the former reaction proceeds with the condensation of two molecules of amide per molecule of a-oxo acid, then the corresponding a,a-bis(acylamino) aliphatic acid 18 is formed, which on warming with acetic acid results in partial deamidation with formation of the corresponding dehydropeptide 19. 

Cyanoborohydride and its modified reagents have been used for reductive dehalogenations. Thus, the combination of sodium or tetrabutylammonium cyanoborohydride, sodium or potassium 9-cyano-9-hydro-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanate [9-BBNCN] (2) or polymeric cyanoborane (3) in HMPA furnishes an efficient and mild system for the reduction of alkyl halides. The reagents are selective in that other functional groups, including ester, carboxylic acid, amide, cyano, alkene, nitro, sulfone, ketone, aldehyde and epoxide, are essentially inert under the reduction conditions thus, the reduction procedure is attractive for synthetic schemes which demand minimum damage to sensitive portions of the molecule. 

Adsorption TLC selection of the mobile phase is conditioned by sample and stationary-phase polarities. The following polarity scale is valid for various compound classes in NPTLC in decreasing order of K values carboxylic acids>amides>amines>alcohols>aldehydes > ketones > esthers > nitro compounds > ethers > hal-ogenated compounds > aromatics >olefins > saturated hydrocarbons > fluorocarbons. For example, retention on silica gel is controlled by the number and functional groups present in the sample and their spatial locations. Proton donor/acceptor functional groups show the greatest retention, followed by dipolar molecules, and, finally, nonpolar groups. 

We selected a novel approach to design a masked or blocked aliphatic diisocyanate based on the fact that 1,3-disubstituted ureas undergo facile thermal dissociation to produce an isocyanate and an amine derivative. ) In the dissociation of mono acyl and aroyl ureas an isocyanate and a carboxylic acid amide is simultaneously produced. If the urea group is part of a cyclic system both fragments are parts of the same molecule.

It is of interest to note the behavior of molecules containing other functional groups. Carbinols form amides at somewhat higher tanpera-tures than the corresponding ketones, probably by way of unsaturated intermediates. Aldehydes are converted into the corresponding carboxylic acid amides when heated with aqueous ammonium polysulfide, > and they form substituted thioamides under conditions of the Kindler procedure. Aldimines likewise are converted to acid derivatives. Two imineS derived from methyl ketones and methylamine are reported to react with sulfur to form N-methylarylthioacetamides in a manner analogous to the reaction of methyl ketones in the presence of the amine.
