Diamines oxidative cleavage

CUPROUS ION-CATALYZED OXIDATIVE CLEAVAGE OF AROMATIC o-DIAMINES BV OXYGEN [(Z,Z)-2,4-HEXADIENEDINITRILE]... 

Concern for the conservation of energy and materials maintains high interest in catalytic and electrochemistry. Oxygen in the presence of metal catalysts is used in CUPROUS ION-CATALYZED OXIDATIVE CLEAVAGE OF AROMATIC o-DIAMINES BY OXYGEN (E,Z)-2,4-HEXADIENEDINITRILE and OXIDATION WITH BIS(SALI-CYLIDENE)ETHYLENEDIIMINOCOBALT(II) (SALCOMINE) 2,6-DI-important industrial method, is accomplished in a convenient lab-scale process in ALDEHYDES FROM OLEFINS CYCLOHEXANE-CARBOXALDEHYDE. An effective and useful electrochemical synthesis is illustrated in the procedure 3,3,6,6-TETRAMETHOXY-1,4-CYCLOHEX ADIENE. ... 

Despite all of the activity in pyrimidine-based synthesis, only one study has emerged of solid-phase versions of these reactions <2003TL1267, 20030BC1909>. This chemistry was based upon condensation of dicarbonyl compounds with resin-bound pyrimidine-5,6-diamines through a 2-alkylthio link and oxidative cleavage as described in Section 10.18.7.2. The value of alkylthio substituents in the synthesis of complex substituted pterins has also been demonstrated in the synthesis of nucleic acid conjugates <2004OBC3588> (see Section 10.18.12.4). 

Terminal alkenes could be efficiently aminated by nonhindered secondary amines in a process requiring 1 equiv. of palladium(II) chloride, 3 equiv. of amine and a reduction at temperatures below -20 C (path a, Scheme 5) 21,22 however, primary amines and/or internal alkenes were less efficient, producing only 40-50% yields of amination product. Oxidative cleavage of the unstable o-alkylpalladium(II) in the presence of a nucleophile resulted in vicinal oxamination or diamination of the alkene (path b).23,24 Car-bonylation resulted in the isolation of stable o-acylpalladium(II) species (path c),23 which were oxidatively cleaved to give 3-amino esters (path d)26 or further carbonylated to give y-amino-a-ketoamidei (path e).27... 

The oxidative cleavage of the carbon-hydroxymethyl groups could be removed from -aminoalcohols by treatment with lead tetraacetate in benzene then reduction with NaBH4 (Scheme 13.53) [73 a]. 

Cobalt(III) acetate has been shown to possess activity in the oxidative cleavage of diamines such as benzidine and 0,0-dianisidine to the corresponding quinones in acetic acid. A radical mechanism is probably involved [157]. 

Oxidative coupling of o-nitrotoluene gives 4,4 -dinitrodibenzyl which is reduced with hydrogen to the diamine. The diamine is pyrolyzed to give dihydrobenzazepine. This is reacted with N-(3-chloropropvl)-N-methylbenzamine to give N-benzyldesipramine. This is debenzylated by reductive cleavage and then reacted with HCI.
