Cyclohexyl functions

Amin omethyl-3,5,5-trimethyl cyclohexyl amine (21), commonly called isophoronediamine (IPD) (51), is made by hydrocyanation of (17) (52), (53) followed by transformation of the ketone (19) to an imine (20) by dehydrative condensation of ammonia (54), then concomitant hydrogenation of the imine and nitrile functions at 15—16 MPa (- 2200 psi) system pressure and 120 °C using methanol diluent in addition to YL NH. Integrated imine formation and nitrile reduction by reductive amination of the ketone leads to alcohol by-product. There are two geometric isomers of IPD the major product is ds-(22) [71954-30-5] and the minor, tram-(25) [71954-29-5] (55). 

For substituted cyclohexanes, the slow-exchange condition is met at temperatures below about —50 C. Table 3.5 presents data for the half-life for conformational equilibration of cyclohexyl chloride as a function of temperature. From these data, it can be seen that conformationally pure solutions of equatorial cyclohexyl chloride could be maintained at low temperature. This has been accomplished experimentally. Crystallization of cyclohexyl chloride at low temperature affords crystals containing only the... 

The amino functional group is not commonly encountered in steroid synthesis except perhaps in steroidal alkaloids. However, certain elimination reactions have been shown to have theoretical and limited preparative importance, largely due to the efforts of McKenna and co-workers. The Hofmann rule for 2 elimination predicts that alkaline elimination of quaternary ammonium salts will occur towards the carbon carrying the most hydrogen atoms cf. the converse Saytzeff orientation, above). In cyclohexyl systems, the requirement for diaxial elimination appears to be important, as in other 2 eliminations, and the Hofmann rule frequently is not obeyed [e.g., (116) (117)]. 

Substituted TMM complexes also cycloadd to aldehydes in the presence of a tin cocatalyst such as MesSnOAc and MesSnOTs [31]. Reaction of 2-heptenal with methyl precursor (6) gave a mixture of methylenetetrahydrofurans (68) and (69). This regioselectivity is reversed with 10-undecenal and methyl precursor (5), where adduct (70) now predominates over (71). As in the carbocyclic system, the phenylthio group also functions as a regiocontrol element in reaction with cyclohexyl aldehyde. The initially formed adduct (72) eliminates the element of thio-phenol on attempted allyl rearrangement, and the overall process becomes a cycloaddition approach to furans (Scheme 2.21) [20]. 

Molecules having only a sulfoxide function and no other acidic or basic site have been resolved through the intermediacy of metal complex formation. In 1934 Backer and Keuning resolved the cobalt complex of sulfoxide 5 using d-camphorsulfonic acid. More recently Cope and Caress applied the same technique to the resolution of ethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide (6). Sulfoxide 6 and optically active 1-phenylethylamine were used to form diastereomeric complexes i.e., (-1-)- and ( —)-trans-dichloro(ethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide) (1-phenylethylamine) platinum(II). Both enantiomers of 6 were obtained in optically pure form. Diastereomeric platinum complexes formed from racemic methyl phenyl (and three para-substituted phenyl) sulfoxides and d-N, N-dimethyl phenylglycine have been separated chromatographically on an analytical column L A nonaromatic example, cyclohexyl methyl sulfoxide, did not resolve.

Mn(II) ions complexed by porphyrinato(2 ) ligands have shown catalytic superoxide anion dismutation. One SOD mimic, M40403, complexes Mn(II) via a macrocyclic ligand, 1,4,7,10,13-pentaazacyclopentadecane, containing added bis(cyclohexyl) and pyridyl functionalities. M40403 carries the systematic name [manganese(II) dichloro] 4R,9R, 14/s, 19/ )-3,10,13,20,26-pentaazatetracyclo[20.3. 1.0(4,9)0(14,19)]hexacosa-l(26),-22(23),24-triene ]. The molecule is shown in... 

Some research groups have investigated effects of substituents less common in organic chemistry. Quin and co-workers (127,128) determined a-SCSs of tri-and tetravalent phosphorus substituents in n-alkyl and cyclohexyl derivatives (Tables 5 and 6). The difference between -PH2 and -P(CH3)2 effects is easily explained by 3-SCS(CH3) (about 10 ppm for each methyl) this approach, however, is not satisfactory for P(OCH3)2 and PC12, since it would suggest a-SCS values of ca. 16 (found 21.4) and ca. 22 (found 32.5), respectively, for those two substituents. A stereochemical dependence similar to that of X = CH3 and OH seems to exist only for the primary phosphine (X = PH2) and the compounds with tetravalent phosphorus substituents, whereas the a-SCS values of the tri-valent functions are quite similar in many cases, regardless of their stereochemical position. 

The discussion above has been more or less empirical and descriptive. However, considerable effort has been made to interpret 3-SCS on a more physical basis. Electric-field effects (71-75) were invoked to explain signal shifts of 3-carbon atoms induced by protonation of amines (157,158) (cf. Section II-B-3). This approach was later extended to other functionalities by Schneider and coworkers, who assumed that the SEF component (E2) rather than inductive properties of the substituents should be responsible for 3-SCS (113). They found fairly linear correlations of 3-SCS(X ) and 3-SCS(X ) in cyclohexyl derivatives (76) and attributed the difference between these for a given X to a widening of the C -Cp-Cv bond angle by 2.2° in the axial conformer (114,159). The decrease of 3-SCS in the order primary Cp —> secondary Cp — tertiary Cp — quaternary Cp was explained by electron-charge polarization in the Cp-C" bond(s) induced by the LEF component of the C -X dipole, which is already of significance at this distance, though ( 2) still dominates (160). Such an electron flow toward the 3 carbon is expected to be much more pronounced in C-C than in C-H bonds because of the polarizability difference (aCH = 0.79 acc = 1.12) (150,151,160). 

More comprehensive CIMS investigations on tartrate systems indicate that the dimer chirality effects disappear when the ester functions of tartrates is replaced by H or an alkyl function, e.g., methyl or cyclohexyl. A similar effect is observed when the proton in the proton-bound dimers is replaced by lithium or ammonium ion. These observations are attributed to a dramatic change in the basket-type... 

Indole derivatives such as dihydroindolone are scaffolds of potentially biological interest. Thus, the development of such functionalized skeletons has been approached by a MCR involving cyclic 1,3-diketones, cyclohexyl isocyanide, aromatic aldehydes, and ammonium acetate in the presence of catalytic amount of KHSO4 in refluxing acetonitrile (Scheme 30) [117]. hi this strategy, the imine derived from the Knoevenagel adduct reacts with cyclohexyl isocyanide to give the...
