A 2° amine reacts with an aldehyde or ketone to give an enamine. Enamines have a nitrogen atom bonded to a double bond zSkene + amine = enamine). 

An interesting feature is that the reductive desulfonylation can be carried out in the presence of thioethers and no desulfurization is observed (Eq. 69).125 This reagent also tolerates isolated and conjugated double bonds, ketones, acetals, and Boc carbamates. Sulfonamides, however, are not tolerated, and even at low reaction temperatures give the corresponding amines. 3-Elimination of arylsulfinates is also observed (Eq. 70).126... 

Reduction. The selective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to the amines by using PdCl and a water-soluble phosphine ligand with CO in aqueous NaOH and xylene does not affect other functional groups, such as double bond, ketone, nitrile, and halide groups. 

Secondary amines react with aldehydes and ketones to form enamines. The name enamine is derived from -en- to indicate the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond and -amine to indicate the presence of an amino group. An example is enamine formation between cyclohexanone and piperidine, a cyclic secondary amine. Water is removed by a Dean-Stark trap (Figure 16.1), which forces fhe equilibrium to the right. 

Secondary amines are compounds of the type R2NH They add to aldehydes and ketones to form carbmolammes but their carbmolamme intermediates can dehydrate to a stable product only m the direction that leads to a carbon-carbon double bond... 

Hydroperoxides have been obtained from the autoxidation of alkanes, aralkanes, alkenes, ketones, enols, hydrazones, aromatic amines, amides, ethers, acetals, alcohols, and organomineral compounds, eg, Grignard reagents (10,45). In autoxidations involving hydrazones, double-bond migration occurs with the formation of hydroperoxy—azo compounds via free-radical chain processes (10,59) (eq. 20). 

These steric factors are also indicated by the relative basicity of enamines derived from five-, six-, and seven-membered ketones. The five- and seven-membered enamines are considerably stronger bases, indicating better conjugation between the amine lone pair and the double bond. The reduced basicity of the cyclohexanone enamines is related to the preference for exo and endo double bonds in six-membered rings (see Section 3.10). 

Generally, isolated olefinic bonds will not escape attack by these reagents. However, in certain cases where the rate of hydroxyl oxidation is relatively fast, as with allylic alcohols, an isolated double bond will survive. Thepresence of other nucleophilic centers in the molecule, such as primary and secondary amines, sulfides, enol ethers and activated aromatic systems, will generate undesirable side reactions, but aldehydes, esters, ethers, ketals and acetals are generally stable under neutral or basic conditions. Halogenation of the product ketone can become but is not always a problem when base is not included in the reaction mixture. The generated acid can promote formation of an enol which in turn may compete favorably with the alcohol for the oxidant. 

Enamines of A" -3-ketones (45) are stable to lithium aluminum hydride, but lithium borohydride reduces the 3,4-double bond of the enamine system." In the presence of acetic acid the enamine (45) is reduced by sodium borohydride to the A -3-amine (47) via the iminium cation (46). ... 

The ketocarbene 4 that is generated by loss of Na from the a-diazo ketone, and that has an electron-sextet, rearranges to the more stable ketene 2 by a nucleophilic 1,2-shift of substituent R. The ketene thus formed corresponds to the isocyanate product of the related Curtius reaction. The ketene can further react with nucleophilic agents, that add to the C=0-double bond. For example by reaction with water a carboxylic acid 3 is formed, while from reaction with an alcohol R -OH an ester 5 is obtained directly. The reaction with ammonia or an amine R -NHa leads to formation of a carboxylic amide 6 or 7 ... 

An aldehyde or ketone reacts with a primary amine, RNH.2, to yield an imine, in which the carbonyl oxygen atom has been replaced by the =N-R group of the amine. Reaction of the same aldehyde or ketone with a secondary amine, R2NH, yields an enamine, in which the oxygen atom has been replaced by the -NR2 group of the amine and the double bond has moved to a position between the former carbonyl carbon and the neighboring carbon. 

The reaction with bromine is very rapid and is easily carried out at room temperature, although the reaction is reversible under some conditions. In the case of bromine, an alkene-Br2 complex has been detected in at least one case. Bromine is often used as a test, qualitative or quantitative, for unsaturation. The vast majority of double bonds can be successfully brominated. Even when aldehyde, ketone, amine, so on functions are present in the molecule, they do not interfere, since the reaction with double bonds is faster. 

Compounds containing carbon-nitrogen double bonds can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones. For imines (W = R or H) the hydrolysis is easy and can be carried out with water. When W = H, the imine is seldom stable enough for isolation, and hydrolysis usually occurs in situ, without isolation. The hydrolysis of Schiff bases (W = Ar) is more difficult and requires acid or basic catalysis. Oximes (W = OH), arylhydrazones (W = NHAr), and, most easily, semicarbazones (W = NHCONH2) can also be hydrolyzed. Often a reactive aldehyde (e.g., formaldehyde) is added to combine with the liberated amine. 

A similar sequence starting with the acylation product (76) from metachlorophenylacetonitrile gives the halogenated tricyclic ketone 83. Condensation of that intermediate with ethyl bromoacetate in the presence of zinc (Reformatsky reaction) gives the hydroxyester 84. This product is then in turn dehydrated under acid conditions (85), saponified to the corresponding acid (86), and converted to the dimethyl-amide (87) by way of the acid chloride. The amide function is then reduced to the amine (88) with lithium aluminum hydride catalytic hydrogenation of the exocyclic double bond completes the synthesis of closiramine (89). This compound also exhibits antihistaminic activity. 

The main products correspond in most cases to a formal [4+l]-cycloaddition. With butadiene, isoprene or a,/3-unsaturated ketones small amounts of a double bond isomer (a,/3 to Si) are observed. With a,/J-unsaturated amines the latter type of isomer is the main product. The nature of both isomers is consistent with a primary [2+l]-cycloaddition, preferably at a C=Y unit (Y = O, NR), followed by a ring-opening isomerization. 

Derivatives of hydrazine, especially the hydrazide compounds formed from carboxylate groups, can react specifically with aldehyde or ketone functional groups in target molecules. Reaction with either group creates a hydrazone linkage (Reaction 44)—a type of Schiff base. This bond is relatively stable if it is formed with a ketone, but somewhat labile if the reaction is with an aldehyde group. However, the reaction rate of hydrazine derivatives with aldehydes typically is faster than the rate with ketones. Hydrazone formation with aldehydes, however, results in much more stable bonds than the easily reversible Schiff base interaction of an amine with an aldehyde. To further stabilize the bond between a hydrazide and an aldehyde, the hydrazone may be reacted with sodium cyanoborohydride to reduce the double bond and form a secure covalent linkage. 

Compound 874, as a representative of derivatives with an electron-withdrawing substituent at C-[1 of the vinyl group, is easily prepared by elimination of one benzotriazole from 2,2-/fo(benzotriazol-l-yl)ethyl methyl ketone 873. The stereoselective elimination catalyzed by NaOH gives exclusively the (E) isomer of derivative 874. Addition of nucleophiles to the double bond of vinyl ketone 874 followed by elimination of benzotriazole leads to a,P unsaturated ketones 875. Amines used as nucleophiles do not need any catalysis, but reactions with carbon and sulfur nucleophiles require addition of a base. The total effect is nucleophilic substitution of the benzotriazolyl group at the i-carbon of orji-iinsaturatcd ketone (Scheme 142) <1996SC3773>. 

Preparation of enantiomerically pare secondary amines by catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation or hydrosilylation of imines is as important as the preparation of alcohols from ketones. However, asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral ON double bonds has received relatively less attention despite the obvious preparative potential of this process.98...
