Deamination compounds

Other Applications. Hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid [2950-43-8] h.2is many applications in the area of organic synthesis. The use of this material for organic transformations has been thoroughly reviewed (125,126). The preparation of the acid involves the reaction of hydroxjlamine [5470-11-1] with oleum in the presence of ammonium sulfate [7783-20-2] (127). The acid has found appHcation in the preparation of hydra2ines from amines, aUphatic amines from activated methylene compounds, aromatic amines from activated aromatic compounds, amides from esters, and oximes. It is also an important reagent in reductive deamination and specialty nitrile production. 

DiaZepin Nucleosides. Four naturally occurring dia2epin nucleosides, coformycin (58), 2 -deoxycoformycin (59), adechlorin or 2 -chloro-2 -deoxycoformycin (60), and adecypenol (61), have been isolated (1—4,174,175). The biosynthesis of (59) and (60) have been reported to proceed from adenosine and C-1 of D-ribose (30,176,177). They are strong inhibitors of adenosine deaminase and AMP deaminase (178). Compound (58) protects adenosine and formycin (12) from deamination by adenosine deaminase. Advanced hairy cell leukemia has shown rapid response to (59) with or without a-or P-interferon treatment (179—187). In addition, (59) affects interleukin-2 production, receptor expression on human T-ceUs, DNA repair synthesis, immunosuppression, natural killer cell activity, and cytokine production (188—194). 

L/(mol-s) (39,40). QDI is also attacked by hydroxide ion (eq. 4) to produce a quinone monoimine (QMI), itself an oxidized developer derived from /)-aminopheno1. Such compounds can further react with coupler, albeit at a slower rate than QDI, to form a dye and were cited in the seminal patent as color developers (32). However, the dyes derived from this deaminated developer have different hues from the QDI dyes, and these hues are pH-dependent as a consequence of the phenoHc group contributed by the developer. Although the deamination reaction to produce QMI is fast, the rate constant is 10 to 10 L/(mol-s) (40—42), its effect is somewhat offset by the redox reaction of the QMI with the reduced developer, present in large excess, to regenerate the desired QDI. The primary net effect of the deamination reaction is to enlarge the resulting dye cloud (43). 

N- Aminoaziridines have been converted to alkenes by reaction with a variety of oxidizing agents (70JA1784). Usually, the deamination reaction is stereospecific. The oxidation of l-amino-2,3-diphenylaziridines with manganese dioxide, however, was not stereospecific. The trans compound gives entirely frans-stilbene, whereas the cfs-aziridine forms a mixture of 85% trans- and 15% c -aikene. cw-Stilbene is not isomerized to trans under the reaction conditions, and the results are explained in terms of an azamine intermediate which can isomerize through a tautomeric equilibrium.

A -Pyrroline has been prepared in low yield by oxidation of proline with sodium hypochlorite (71), persulfate (102), and periodate (103). A -Pyrroline and A -piperideine are products of enzymic oxidation via deamination of putrescine and cadaverine or ornithine and lysine, respectively (104,105). This process plays an important part in metabolism and in the biosynthesis of various heterocyclic compounds, especially of alkaloids. 

Notable examples of general synthetic procedures in Volume 47 include the synthesis of aromatic aldehydes (from dichloro-methyl methyl ether), aliphatic aldehydes (from alkyl halides and trimethylamine oxide and by oxidation of alcohols using dimethyl sulfoxide, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and pyridinum trifluoro-acetate the latter method is particularly useful since the conditions are so mild), carbethoxycycloalkanones (from sodium hydride, diethyl carbonate, and the cycloalkanone), m-dialkylbenzenes (from the />-isomer by isomerization with hydrogen fluoride and boron trifluoride), and the deamination of amines (by conversion to the nitrosoamide and thermolysis to the ester). Other general methods are represented by the synthesis of 1 J-difluoroolefins (from sodium chlorodifluoroacetate, triphenyl phosphine, and an aldehyde or ketone), the nitration of aromatic rings (with ni-tronium tetrafluoroborate), the reductive methylation of aromatic nitro compounds (with formaldehyde and hydrogen), the synthesis of dialkyl ketones (from carboxylic acids and iron powder), and the preparation of 1-substituted cyclopropanols (from the condensation of a 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol derivative and ethyl-... 

Thus, in contrast to benzothiepins, dibenzo compounds can be synthesized by direct acid-catalyzed elimination of water from hydroxy derivatives, or of amines from amino derivatives, at elevated temperatures due to their thermal stability. As in the case of benzothiepins, dibenzo derivatives can also be prepared by base-catalyzed elimination from the corresponding halo derivatives however, the yields are somewhat lower compared to the acid-catalyzed reactions. As a special case, an aziridine derivative was deaminated by palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation to afford the corresponding dibenzothiepin.69... 

Amino-5-hydrazinopyrazole dihydrochloride 300 is a good source for the synthesis of this type of heterocyclic compound [78JCS(P1)885] and it was prepared by reaction of malononitrile with two equivalents of hydrazine. Reaction of 300 with ethyl pyruvate afforded 301. Unstable hydra-zone 302 formed when 300 was boiled with diacetyl rapidly cyclized to 303. Reaction of 300 with benzil gave 304 directly, which gave an acetyl derivative and resisted reductive deamination. On the other hand, a polymer was isolated from the reaction of 300 with glyoxal (Scheme 65).

It is interesting to see that amines can be deaminated to give the corresponding methylene compounds with low-valent titanium (TiCE/Li/THF). " ... 

C]-FlAC was synthesized from [2- C]cytosine in the general manner used for unlabeled 748 (FIAC), and its metabolic fate in mice was studied. The compound (after i.v. injection) was deaminated by cytosine nucleoside deaminase and appeared as [2- C]-FIAU in plasma, as confirmed by experiments on rats having a very low level of the deaminase, and by treatment with tetrahydrouridine, a nucleoside deaminase inhibitor. This was further confirmed by the use of purified human deoxycytidine deaminase. It was... 

The susceptibilities of some of these fluorinated purine nucleosides to the action of enzymes are now described. In contrast to the inertness of the 2 -deoxy-2 -fluoro- and 3 -deoxy-3 -fluorocytidine analogs 739, 744, and 821 towards cytidine deaminase, the adenosine compounds 867, 883, and 906 are readily deaminated - by the adenosine deaminase in erythrocytes and calf intestine, but the resulting (deaminated) inosine compounds (from 867 and 883), as well as 888, are highly resistant - to cleavage by purine nucleoside phosphorylase (to give hypoxanthine base for the first two). The reason was discussed. Both 867 and 883 can form the 5 -triphosphates, without deamination, in human erythrocytes or murine sarcoma cells in the presence of 2 -deoxycoformycin, an adenosine deaminase inhibitor, but...
