1.3- Diaminopropan

The "zip-reaction (U. Kramer, 1978, 1979) leads to giant macrocycles. Potassium 3- ami-nopropyl)amide = KAPA ( superbase ) in 1,3-diaminopropane is used to deprotonate amines. The amide anions are highly nucleophilic and may, for example, be used to transam-idate carboxylic amides. If N- 39-atnino-4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36-nonaazanonatriacontyl)do-decanolactam is treated with KAPA, the amino groups may be deprotonated and react with the macrocyclic lactam. The most probable reaction is the intramolecular formation of the six-membered ring intermediate indicated below. This intermediate opens spontaneously to produce the azalactam with seventeen atoms in the cycle. This reaction is repeated nine times in the presence of excess KAPA, and the 53-membered macrocycle is formed in reasonable yield. 

Potassium 3-aniinopropylaniide [56038-00-7] (KAPA), KNHCH2CH2CH2-NH2, pX = 35, can be prepared by the reaction of 1,3-diaminopropane and potassium metal or potassium hydride [7693-26-7] (57—59). KAPA powder has been known to explode during storage under nitrogen in a drybox, and is therefore made in situ. KAPA is extremely effective in converting an internal acetylene or aHene group to a terminal acetylene (60) (see Acetylene-DERIVED chemicals). 

Diaminopropane Processes. 1,2-Propylenediamine can be produced by the reductive amination of propylene oxide (142), 1,2-propylene glycol [57-55-6] (143), or monoisopropanolamine [78-96-6] (144). 1,3-Propanediol [504-63-2] can be used to make 1,3-diaminopropane (143). Various propaneamines are produced by reducing the appropriate acrylonitrile—amine adducts (145—147). Polypropaneamines can be obtained by the oligomerization of 1,3-diaminopropane (148,149). 

L-jS-Pyrazolylalanine (755) and y-L-glutamyl-/8-pyrazol-L-alanine are found in the seeds of many speeies of Cucurbitaceae (65P933). It was subsequently demonstrated that free pyrazole oeeurs in watermelon seeds in eoneentrations of 280 to 410 jLg g depending on the variety (75P2512). Biosynthetic studies implieate 1,3-diaminopropane as a precursor of the pyrazole moiety of (755) (82P863). 

These transformations are analogous to those observed in the reaction of acety-lacetone with 1,3-diaminopropane (77ZC216) and formally fit decomposition of the corresponding /3-diketone derivatives. 

Reaction of di(benzylthio)acetal 413 and 1,3-diaminopropane in the presence of a catalytic amount of NEt3 afforded 1,2,3,4,6,7-hexahydro-8/7-pyrido[],2-u]pyrimidin-8-one 414 (00MI25). 

Fluorophenyl)-l ]-hydroxy-2,3,4,1 ]-tetrahydro-6/7-pyrimido[],2-Z)]-isoquinolin-6-one was obtained in the reaction of l-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-oxo-],3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-l-carboxamide and 1,3-diaminopropane in boiling toluene (01BMCL339). 

In 400 ml of dimethylformamide was dissolved 15.0 g of bleomycinic acid (copper-containing form). To the solution kept at 0°C by cooling were added 1.1 ml of N-methylmorpholine and 10.3 g of 6-chloro-1 -p-chlorobenzenesulfonyloxybenzotriazole (CCBT) as an activating compound. The mixture was stirred for 5 minutes at 0°C, then admixed with 5.3 g of N-[(S)-1 -phenylethyl] -1 3-diaminopropane and further stirred for 1 hour. 

Reaction of uridine 1 with equivalent amounts of 1,3-diaminopropane, HMDS 2, and TCS 14 for 24 h at 150 °C has been reported to afford, after subsequent transsilylation in boiling methanol, 94% of the dimer 223 and 13a [57]. This re-... 

An inducible primary amine dehydrogenase in a strain of Mycobacterium convolutum had diverse degradative capability with a broad specificity, and was involved in the degradation of 1- and 2-aminopropane and 1,3-diaminopropane. The products were assimilated by the methylmalonate pathway, or by formation of C2 + Cj fragments (Cerniglia and Perry 1975). 

Species of Pseudomonas can utilize the a,(i)-diamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine as sources of carbon and nitrogen, and putrescine can be produced from the secondary amine spermidine together with 1,3-diaminopropane (Dasu et al. 2006). Putrescine (1,4-diaminobutane) is an intermediate in the arginine decarboxylase (ADC) pathway of L-arginine degradation, which is described later, and can be degraded, by two pathways ... 

Koch and Leitner (1998) have recently conducted the oxoreaction of 1-octene with CO and H2, using a Rh-based catalyst, in SC CO2. Fischer era/. (1999) have reported enhancements in selectivity by a factor of 4 to 18 with near critical ammonia, during Co- and Ni-catalysed synthesis of 1,3-diaminopropane. This is attributed to a higher concentration of ammonia at the catalyst surface. 

The current work indicates that sulfided platinum catalysts are, in general, more active and selective than Pt, Pd, or sulfided Pd catalysts for reductive alkylation of primary amines with ketones. The choice of the catalyst preparation parameters, especially the support, plays a major role in determining the performance of the catalyst. Diamines, especially of lower molecular weight, tend to react with ketones even at room temperature to form heterocycles such as imidazolidine, diazepanes, and pyrimidines. Hence, a continuous reactor configuration that minimizes the contact between the amine and the ketone, along with a highly active catalyst is desired to obtain the dialkylated product. In general, sulfided Pt appears to be more suited for the reductive alkylation of ethylenediamine while unsulfided Pd or Pt may also be used if 1,3-diaminopropane is the amine. 

The third method that we have used to prepare these diazaboracyclohexane systems is the transamination reaction of 1,3-diaminopropane with the bis(dimethyiamino)boryl compound 8 (eq 8). The solid products 12 and 13, which contain, respectively, two or three of the BN2C3 heterocycles linked by B-N bonds, could not be distilled (or crystallized), but they were thermally stable to at least 200°C. After minor impurities were removed from 12 by vacuum distillation and from 13 by washing with hexane, the structures were confirmed by1H, 13C, and 11B NMR spectroscopy. 

By judicious choice of reaction conditions an acyclic Ni11 complex (784) could be isolated, which serves as a valuable starting material for the preparation of unsymmetrical and mixed metal complexes by subsequent reaction with various amines. Also, a symmetrical Schiff base macrocycle of larger size has been obtained as a minor byproduct upon condensation of (784) with 1,3-diaminopropane. The resulting Ni11 complex (785) is again bimetallic, although room to bind four metal ions is in principle available.1367... 

Other polydentate ligands are polyamines and related ligands. Stability constants of silver(I) complexes with polyamines in dimethyl sulfoxide,419 A-methyl-substituted 4-methyldiethylene-triamines,420 or ethylene- or N- or C-methylated ethylenediamine in aqueous solution have been reported.421 The structure of the silver 1,3-diaminopropane complex, [Ag NH2(CH2)3NH2 ]-C104,422 and complex formation with 1,4-diaminobutane and 1,5-diaminopentane have been reported.423 A dinuclear silver(I) compound with ethylenediamine [(enH)Ag(en)Ag(enH)2]4+ has...
