Cyclohexanone with morpholine

This triethanolamine procedure was used also in a synthesis of docosanedioiC acid starting with the condensation of cyclohexanone with morpholine to form 1 morpholino-1-cyclohexene (1), and acylation of this enamine with sebacoyl chlorid ... 

The reaction of NO with the double bonds of enamines also produces compounds containing the diazeniumdiolate functional group bound to carbon, and some of the compounds prepared in this way have the potential to serve as spontaneous NO donors [43]. The compounds chosen for study were enamines 1-4 derived from condensation of cyclopentanone or cyclohexanone with morpholine or pyrrolidine. When these enamines were dissolved in acetonitrile and treated with NO gas (5-atm pressure) at room temperature, a vigorous exothermic reaction resulted, accompanied by high uptake of NO and formation of a brown precipitate. Attempts to isolate the solid precipitates often resulted in rapid decomposition, with the release of large volumes of gaseous NO. At -78 °C in diethyl ether, the reaction of 4-(l-cyclohexen-l-yl) morpholine (IX) afforded a good yield of crystalline NO addition product (X) ... 

Chloral forms well-crystallized adducts (126) with diaziridines containing at least one NH group (B-67MI50800). Carbonyl addition products to formaldehyde or cyclohexanone were also described. Mixtures of aldehydes and ammonia react with unsubstituted diaziridines with formation of a triazolidine ring (128). Fused diaziridines like (128) are always obtained in ring synthesis of diaziridines (127) from aldehyde, ammonia and chloramine. The existence of three stereoisomers of compounds (128) was demonstrated (76JOC3221). Diaziridines form Mannich bases with morpholine and formaldehyde (64JMC626), e.g. (129). 

The reaction of morpholine enamine of cyclohexanone with 1 mole of phenyl isocyanate has been reported (30,31) to give the monoadduet (49), consisting largely of the trisubstituted isomer, and with 2 moles of phenyl isocyanate, the bis adduct (50). That the bis adduct is a dicarboxyanilide rather than a urea derivative (32) such as 51 was shown by its mild hydrolysis to the ketone (52). Reaction of the morpholine enamine of 2-methylcyclo-... 

The reaction of the morpholine enamine of cyclohexanone with phenyl isothiocyanate led only to the tetrasubstituted isomer of the monoadduct (54), which failed to add any more of the phenyl isothiocyanate. The formation of only the tetrasubstituted isomer has been attributed by Hunig et al. (37) to the stronger conjugation of the C=S group with the enamine double bond than that of the C=0 group in the enamine (49). 

Other secondary amines such as pyrrolidine, di- -butylamine, tetrahydro-quinoline, n-benzylamine, and piperidine were also found to be capable of effecting this reduction. Interestingly, morpholine does not reduce enamines as readily (47) and its acid-catalyzed reaction with norbornanone was reported (45) to give only the corresponding enamine (93), although trace amounts of the reduction product were detected when cyclohexanone was treated with morpholine under these conditions (47a). The yield of morpholine reduction product was increased by using higher temperatures. 

The reaction of enamines derived from cyclohexanone with dichlorocarbene to give the 1 1 adducts is now well established (137-139). The morpholine enamine (113) reacted with dichlorocarbene at —10 to —20° in tetrahydrofuran to give the stable crystalline adduct (201). Thermal decomposition followed by an aqueous work-up gave an a,)3-unsaturated ketone identified as 2-chloromethylene-cyclohexan-l-one (202) (139). 

The reactions of dichlorocarbene with morpholine and piperidine enamines derived from cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone have been reported to lead to ring expanded and a-chloromethylene ketone products (355,356). Similarly a-chloro-a, -unsaturated aldehydes were obtained from aldehyde derived enamines (357). Synthesis of aminocyclopropanes (353,359) could be realized by the addition of diphenyldiazomethane (360) and the methylene iodide-zinc reagent to enamines (367).

With 2-nitropropene as the acceptor, the enamine derived from cyclohexanone and morpholine at 0°C in ether gives heterocycle 4.1. If 4.1 is warmed to 25-30°C or if the reaction is carried out in acetonitrile (< 0°C) a mixture of the regioisomeric enamines 4.2 and 4.3 is formed. Addition of the same enamine to 1-nitropropene in petroleum ether at 0°C gives the product with the less substituted enamine (4.4, Eq. [2]). 

The interaction of enamines with sulphur in conjunction with carbon disulphide, isocyanates, or isothiocyanates results in the production of sulphur-containing heterocyclics. Cyanamide has now been shown to participate in this reaction. Treatment of enamines of type (24) with sulphur and cyanamide at room temperature in ethanol produces a range of 2-aminothiazoles (27) in 30—70% yield no catalyst is required. Initial formation of the thiolated intermediate (25) is probably followed by addition of cyanamide, yielding (26) elimination of amine finally produces the observed thiazoles (27). Since AW-dialkylcyanamides do not undergo this reaction, cyanamide may react as the tautomeric carbodi-imide. An actual example of the reaction employing the enamine derived from cyclohexanone and morpholine is also shown [(28) - (29)]. ... 

The Stork variation was pioneered by Stork and co-workers in 1963. It entails the reaction of pyrrolidine or morpholine enamine derived from unsymmetrical cyclohexanones with methyl vinyl ketones. The alkylation is directed to the less substituted carbon opposite to the alkylation regioisomer formed by the standard Robinson annulation conditions. Cyclization to the corresponding octalone then occurs. The morpholine enamine is less reactive than the pyrrolidine and hence pyrrolidine enamine has been mostly used for this approach. An example of such annulation is shown in the s mthesis of 8-methyl-2-oxo-A octalone (19). The pyrrolidine enamine of 2-methylcyclo-hexanone is refluxed in benzene with MVK for 24 h followed by the addition of an acetate buffer and reflux for 4 h, and after the reaction is worked up purification gives 19 in 45% yield. 

The tetrasubstituted isomer of the morpholine enamine of 2-methyl-cyclohexanone (20) because cf the diminished electronic overlap should be expected to exhibit lower degree of enamine-type reactivity toward electrophilic agents than the trisubstituted isomer. This was demonstrated to be the case when the treatment of the enamine with dilute acetic acid at room temperature resulted in the completely selective hydrolysis of the trisubstituted isomer within 5 min. The tetrasubstituted isomer was rather slow to react and was 96% hydrolyzed after 22 hr (77). The slowness might also be due to the intermediacy of quaternary iminium ion 23, which suffers from a severe. 4< strain 7,7a) between the equatorial C-2 methyl group and the methylene group adjacent to the nitrogen atom, 23 being formed by the stereoelectronically controlled axial protonation of 20. 

Risaliti et al. (22), have shown that in the addition of the electrophilic olefins to the enamines of cyclohexanone, the formation of the less substituted enamine is favored when a bulky group is present at the electrophilic carbon atom. For instance, the reaction of (8-nitrostyrene with the morpholine enamine of cyclohexanone gave only the trisubstituted isomer (30) with the substituent in the axial orientation (23). The product on hydrolysis led to the ketone (31) to which erythro configuration was assigned on the grounds illustrated in Scheme 3 (24). 

In a similar manner the addition of ethyl azodicarboxylate to the morpholine enamine of cyclohexanone furnished the less substituted isomer (34) with the substituent in the axial orientation (2, 26). 

However, when the bulky substituent is no longer present at the electrophilic carbon atom, the addition of the olefin to the morpholine enamine of cyclohexanone leads largely to the tetrasubstituted isomer. For instance the reaction of this enamine with phenyl vinyl sulfone gave a 1 3 mixture of... 

In their original communication on the alkylation and acylation of enamines, Stork et al. (3) had reported that the pyrrolidine enamine of cyclohexanone underwent monoacylation with acid chlorides. For example, the acylation with benzoyl chloride led to monobenzoylcyclohexanone. However, Hunig and Lendle (33) found that treatment of the morpholine enamine of cyclopentanone with 2 moles of propionyl chloride followed by acid hydrolysis gave the enol ester (56), which was proposed to have arisen from the intermediate (55). 

Campbell and Jung (34) have reported that the reaction of 2 moles of o-halo-substituted benzoyl chloride with the morpholine enamine of cyclohexanone gave the corresponding 2,2-dibenzoyI derivative (57). 

The reaction of morpholine enamines of cyclic ketones with ethyl azodicarboxylate has also been demonstrated 56,136). The enamine (113) on reaction with ethyl azodicarboxylate can give the 2- or 2,6-bis(N,N di-carboxyhydrazino)cyclohexanones 199 and 200, respectively, on hydrolysis. 

Nitroolefins also offer the possibilities of 1,2 cycloaddition (37,57) or simple alkylation (57-59) products when they are allowed to react with enamines. The reaction of nitroethylene with the morpholine enamine of cyclohexanone led primarily to a cyclobutane adduct in nonpolar solvents and to a simple alkylated product in polar solvents (57). These products are evidently formed from kinetically controlled reactions since they cannot be converted to the other product under the conditions in which the other... 

Cyanoallene, when treated with the morpholine enamine of cyclohexanone, undergoes a 1,3-cycloaddition reaction to form 72 (89). The reaction between cyanoallene and diendiamine 73a produces di-1,2-cycloaddition adduct 73 (i 9). The 4a-azonioanthracene ion (73b) readily undergoes a 1,4-cycloaddition reaction with nucleophilic dienophiles such as enamines (89a). The cycloaddition is stereoselective so that the a- and... 

Adduct 100 is formed from the 1,4 cycloaddition of o-quinone (99) with the morpholine enamine of cyclohexanone (125). Treatment of styrene oxide with cyclic enamines at elevated temperatures (about 230°C) produces O.N-ketals possessing a furan nucleus (125a). 

The reaction of isobenzofuroxan (131) with the morpholine enamine of cyclohexanone results in a 1,4 cycloaddition to form quinoxaline-di-N-oxide 132 (777). Quinone dibenzenesulfonimide has been found to undergo... 

A 250-ml round-bottom flask is charged with a mixture of cyclohexanone (14.7 g, 0.15 mole), morpholine (15.7 g, 0.18 mole), and / -toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.15 g) in 50 ml of toluene. The flask is fitted with a water separator and a condenser and is brought to reflux (mantle). The separation of water begins immediately and the theoretical amount (2.7 ml) is obtained in about 1 hour. Without further treatment, the reaction mixture may then be distilled. After removal of the toluene at atmospheric pressure, the product is obtained by distillation at reduced pressure, bp II8-I207IO mm, 1.5122-1.5129, in about 75% yield. 

Treated with ZnBr2 followed by enamines, phenyl thioethers 829 derived from aryl aldehydes are converted to (l-(phenylthio)alkyl ketones or aldehydes 830 in moderate to good yields (Equation 19). Enamines used in these syntheses are (1) morpholine enamine derived from diethyl ketone, (2) diethylamine enamine of propiophenone, (3) piperidine enamine derived from isovaleraldehyde, and (4) pyrrolidine enamine of cyclohexanone <2000H(53)331>.
