Derivatives, Condensation

Aniiinovinyl derivatives condense with methyl or methylene reactive groups of heterocycloammonium or ketomethylene. and are useful intermediates in the syntheses of thiazolotnmethine cyanines and thiazolodimethine neulrocyanine. They are prepared according to the following methods ... 

This derivative condenses either on itself (64) or on the anhydrobase, giving the trimethine dye. Indeed, the nucleophilic a-carbon of the dye—the proton is labile and can be replaced (70, 71)—is liable to add onto the electrophilic /3-carbon of the alcene derivative. The neocyanine results from elimination of a molecule of ethanol. 

Similarly, ethyl (or methyl) a-formyl chloroacetate (69), Rj = H, and its substituted derivatives, condensed with thioformamide or higher thioamides give 5-ethyl- or 5-rnethyl-thiazole carboxylates (70) in good... 

Ammonia and a variety of its derivatives condense with thiazolylketones (28, 80, 115-117). 

Quinoxaline mono-N-oxides are also available by a direct synthesis from n-nitroaniline derivatives. Condensation of acetyl chloride derivatives with o-nitroaniline followed by treatment with sodium ethoxide in ethanol yields the mono-N-oxides in good yields (Scheme 20) (64JCS2666). 

Phenazine mono-N-oxides have also been prepared from nitrobenzene derivatives. Condensation of nitrobenzene with aniline using dry NaOH at 120-130 °C results in modest yields of phenazine 5-oxide, although the precise mechanism of this reaction is not well understood (57HC(ll)l) with unsymmetrical substrates it is not possible to predict which of the isomeric fV-oxides will be produced. Nitrosobenzene derivatives also function as a source of phenazine mono-fV-oxides thus, if 4-chloronitrosobenzene is treated with sulfuric acid in acetic acid at 20 °C the fV-oxide is formed (Scheme 21). 

In 1897, Reissert reported the synthesis of a variety of substituted indoles from o-nitrotoluene derivatives. Condensation of o-nitrotoluene (5) with diethyl oxalate (2) in the presense of sodium ethoxide afforded ethyl o-nitrophenylpyruvate (6). After hydrolysis of the ester, the free acid, o-nitrophenylpyruvic acid (7), was reduced with zinc in acetic acid to the intermediate, o-aminophenylpyruvic acid (8), which underwent cyclization with loss of water under the conditions of reduction to furnish the indole-2-carboxylic acid (9). When the indole-2-carboxylic acid (9) was heated above its melting point, carbon dioxide was evolved with concomitant formation of the indole (10). 

Starting material for the synthesis is the enaminoaldehyde 10, obtainable by some version of the Villsmeyer reaction on pi coline derivative Condensation of that... 

To accommodate this new finding and the previous results, we considered a new pathway (Scheme 3), in which acetate or its derivative condenses with arginine followed by decarboxylation. Such Claisen-type condensation on alpha-amino acid has some precedent in biochemical systems (6). To prove this hypothesis, we synthesized [2- C, 2-arginine and ornithine and fed to A, flos-aquae (5). 

In 1929 Carothers proposed a generally useful differentiation between two broad classes of polymers condensation polymers in which the molecular formula of the structural unit (or units) lacks certain atoms present in the monomer from which it is formed, or to which it may be degraded by chemical means, and addition polymers, in which the molecular formula of the structural unit (or units) is identical with that of the monomer from which the polymer is derived. Condensation polymers may be formed from monomers bearing two or more reactive groups of such a character that they may condense intermolecu-larly with the elimination of a by-product, often water. The polyamides and polyesters referred to above afford prime examples of condensation polymers. The formation of a polyester from a suitable hydroxy acid takes place as follows ... 

From a commercial viewpoint the most important compounds of this class are the 3,3-(bisindol-3-yl)phthalides. The first synthesis47 involved Route B as described in Scheme 7, in which a second indole derivative condenses with the indolylbenzoylbenzoic acid in acetic anhydride. However, for the preparation of symmetrical derivatives it has been shown61 that a one-pot process, avoiding isolation of the intermediate and use of aluminum chloride, is more convenient. 

The carbaalanes [8, 9] possess clusters formed by aluminum and carbon atoms. They represent a new class of compounds which, in some respects, may be compared to the important class of carbaboranes. Usually, they were obtained by the reaction of aluminum alkynides with aluminum hydrides (hydroalumination) and the release of trialkylaluminum derivatives (condensation). The first carbaalane, (AlMe)g(CCH2Ph)5H 3 [10], was synthesized by the treatment of dimethylalumi-num phenylethynide with neat dimethylaluminum hydride. The idealized stoichiometric ratio of the components is given in Eq. (2), which also shows a schematic drawing of the molecular structure. Compound 3 was isolated in the form of colorless crystals in 60% yield. While 3 is only slightly air-sensitive, the less sterically shielded propynide derivative 4, also shown in Eq. (2), is highly pyrophoric [11],...

In the presence of an organic peroxide Initiator, the alkenes and their derivatives undergo addition polymerisation or chain growth polymerisation through a free radical mechanism. Polythene, teflon, orlon, etc. are formed by addition polymerisation of an appropriate alkene or Its derivative. Condensation poiymerisation reactions are... 

Azirines are dimerized under various conditions to dihydropyrazines or their dehydrogenated products, namely pyrazines (Section 8.03.9.5). Quinoxalines are oxidized with potassium permanganate to afford 2,3-pyrazinedicarboxylic acids, and pteridines are hydrolyzed to give 3-amino-2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid derivatives. Condensation of 3,4-diamino-l,2,5-thiadiazole 176 with a-diketones produces l,2,5-thiadiazolo[3,4- Jpyrazines 177, which are reduced to provide 2,3-diaminopyrazines 178 (Scheme 51) <1997JCM250>. 

IPP and DMAPP lead to geranylpyrophosphate (GPP), which is an immediate precursor of monoterpenes. The formation of nerylpyrophosphate (NPP) from GPP gives rise to a wide range of acyclic, cyclic, bicyclic or tricyclic skeletons. Reactions like rearrangement, oxidation, reduction and hydration via various terpene cyclases result in the formation of numerous terpene derivatives. Condensation of GPP and IPP leads to farnesylpyrophosphate (FPP), the immediate precursor of sesquiterpenoids. Likewise, FPP and IPP are conducive to diterpenoids. 

Bromination (Br2) of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[6]thiophen-4-one affords either a 2-bromo or a 5-bromo derivative, depending on whether the reaction is carried out at 0° in ether,445,446 or at—5 to 0°in 50% aqueous acetic acid.354 The 5-bromo derivative condenses with morpholine or potassium phthalimide to give 140a or 140b, respectively.445, 446 Hydrazinolysis of 140b fails to give any of the 5-amino derivative.445,446 On nitration, the 2-bromo derivative affords the 3-nitro compound or 141 (R = N02), depending on the reaction conditions.354 With sodium azide in PPA the 2-bromo and 2-bromo-3-... 

Another major problem associated with the extraction of DNA from archaeological specimens is that the procedure often co-extracts impurities that can later complicate, or prevent, the study of the extracted DNA by inhibiting PCR amplification (reviewed by 5). Commonly encountered inhibitory substances found in aDNA extracted from teeth, bones, mummified tissue, and coprolites include humic acids, ftilvic acids, tannins, porphyrin products, phenolic compounds, hematin, and collagen type I (37—42). The formation of Maillard products, commonly encountered in coprolite samples, can also prevent PCR amplification by causing DNA to become inaccessibly trapped in these sugar-derived condensation products (12). As the negative results in many aDNA studies are attributed to the presence of PCR inhibitors, our extraction method outlined below pays particular attention to the problem and offers a simple test for the presence of PCR inhibitors in DNA extracts. 

The reactions of thiourea and guanidine with cycloalkanones are carried out in the same manner [101]. But it is worthwhile noting that muticomponent reactions of urea-like compounds with ketones, containing an activated methyl or methyle-negroup, often do not stop after the formation of a pyrimidine ring. In fact numerous derived condensation processes can lead to more complicated polycyclic compounds, which are especially typical for the reaction of cycloalkanones [101].

Many hydrazine derivatives condense readily with potassium cyanate to give AT-substituted semicarbazides. Car-bohydrazide reacts with 1 or 2 mols of potassium cyanate to form carbohydrazide-iV-carboxamide or carbohydrazide-iVjiV -dicarboxamide. 

In conclusion, a great number of azine derivatives condensed with five-membered rings can be obtained by means of disubstitution reactions with a variety of 1,3-dinucleophiles, provided that the positions in which the addition or substitution takes place are activated.
