Diacetates of 1,4-butenediol derivatives are useful for double allylation to give cyclic compounds. l,4-Diacetoxy-2-butene (126) reacts with the cyclohexanone enamine 125 to give bicyclo[4.3.1]decenone (127) and vinylbicy-clo[3.2.1]octanone (128)[85,86]. The reaction of the 3-ketoglutarate 130 with cij-cyclopentene-3,5-diacetate (129) affords the furan derivative 131 [87]. The C- and 0-allylations of ambident lithium [(phenylsulfonyl)methylene]nitronate (132) with 129 give isoxazoline-2-oxide 133, which is converted into c -3-hydroxy-4-cyanocyclopentene (134)[S8]. Similarly, chiral m-3-amino-4-hyd-roxycyclopentene was prepared by the cyclization of yV-tosylcarbamate[89]. 

The rearrangement discovered by Kolosova et al. probably involves such reactivit (159). This reaction provides a good preparative method for various 5-amino-methylthiazoles (Scheme 43). No mechanism is proposed in the report, and it is not easy to understand how the C-5 enamine-like position competes with the very nucleophilic thiocarbonyl group of the formed A-4-thiazoline-2-thione. An alternative mechanism could start with ethanol addition at C-2. leading to the A-4-thiazoline (90) (Scheme 44). In this intermediate, C-5 nucleophilic reactivity would be favored bv the true enaminic structure. After alkylation on C-5,... 

Rifamycin S also undergoes conjugate addition reactions to the quinone ring by a variety of nucleophiles including ammonia, primary and secondary amines, mercaptans, carbanions, and enamines giving the C-3 substituted derivatives (38) of rifamycin SV (117,120,121). Many of the derivatives show excellent antibacterial properties (109,118,122,123). The 3-cycHc amino derivatives of rifamycin SV also inhibit the polymerase of RNA tumor vimses (123,124). 

Most methods used for the production of the commercially important a-amino penicillins, such as ampicillin and amoxicillin, are based on modifications of an enamine process employing the appropriate phenylglycine and methylacetoacetate followed by coupling with 6-APA (64). Other aspects of the fermentation, strain maintenance, equipment, inoculum development, media, and procedures used in the production of penicillin are well covered in previous editions of the Enyclopedia. Developments in these areas have been reviewed (65). 

The reaction of 6-amino-5-(l,2-diethoxycarbonylhydrazino)pyrimidines with enamines represents another convenient method for the preparation of pteridines. Fusion of 5-(l,2-diethoxycarbonylhydrazino)-2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine (281) with an excess of mor-pholinocyclohexene leads to 2,4-diaminotetrahydrobenzo[g]pteridine, and with the morpholinoenamine (282) from 17/3-hydroxy-5a-androstan-3-one regioselective condensation to the fused pteridine (283) takes place in almost quantitative yield (equation 101) (71CC83). 6-Amino-5-nitroso- and 6-amino-5-phenylazo-pyrimidines react similarly, imitating the Timmis-type reaction (72CPB1428). 

The exploration of the chemistry of azirines has led to the discovery of several pyrrole syntheses. From a mechanistic viewpoint the simplest is based upon their ability to behave as a-amino ketone equivalents in reactions analogous to the Knorr pyrrole synthesis cf. Section 3.03.3.2.2), as illustrated in Schemes 91a and 91b for reactions with carbanions. Parallel reactions with enamines or a-keto phosphorus ylides can be effected with electron-deficient 2//-azirines (Scheme 91c). Conversely, electron-rich azirines react with electron deficient alkynes (Scheme 91d). 

There are also substituents that can act as electron-releasing groups through resonance. Among familiar examples are alkoxy and amino groups in vinyl ethers and enamines, respectively. 

The chemical reactivity of these two substituted ethylenes is in agreement with the ideas encompassed by both the MO and resonance descriptions. Enamines, as amino-substituted alkenes are called, are vety reactive toward electrophilic species, and it is the p carbon that is the site of attack. For example, enamines are protonated on the carbon. Acrolein is an electrophilic alkene, as predicted, and the nucleophile attacks the P carbon. 

Amino substituents on a carbon-carbon double bond enhance the nucleophilicity of the p carbon to an even greater extent flian the hydroxyl group in enols. This is because of the greater electron-donating power of nitrogen. Such compounds are called enamines. ... 

Because of the same preference for coplanarity in the enamine system, a alkyl substituents adopt an axial conformation to minimize steric interaction with the amino groi. ... 

The pAT values of the conjugate acids of several enamines derived from 2-methyl-propanal have been reported. Rationalize the observed variation with the structure of the amino constituent. 

Secondary amines cannot form imines, and dehydration proceeds to give carbon-carbon double bonds bearing amino substituents (enamines). Enamines were mentioned in Chapter 7 as examples of nucleophilic carbon species, and their synthetic utility is discussed in Chapter 1 of Part B. The equilibrium for the reaction between secondary amines and carbonyl compounds ordinarily lies far to the left in aqueous solution, but the reaction can be driven forward by dehydration methods. 

The reaction with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of a proton abstracter like triethyl amine gave not the enamine, but a cyclic amino-sulfone (64). 

An interesting preparation of substituted o-aminophenols has been developed by Birkofer and Daum (30). 2-Acylfurans (8) plus an aliphatic secondary amine presumably condense to give the eorresponding enamine (9) (not isolated), which undergoes thermal isomerization to the o-amino-phenol (10). 

The cyclic thioketone, 3-oxotctrahydrothiophene (11), gives a mixture of enamines (12,13) when caused to react with a secondary amine such as piperidine or pyrrolidine (31). The enamine mixture can be reduced to the 3-aminotetrahydrothiophene using formic acid or oxidized to the 3-amino-thiophene using diisopentylsulfide. 

Additional evidence that a dynamic equilibrium exists between an enamine, N-hemiacetal, and aminal has been presented by Marchese (41). It should be noted that no acid catalysts were used in the reactions of aldehydes and amines discussed thus far. The piperidino enamine of 2-ethylhexanal (0.125 mole), morpholine (0.375 mole), and p-toluene-sulfonic acid (1.25 x 10 mole) diluted with benzene to 500 ml were refluxed for 5 hr. At the end of this time the enamine mixture was analyzed by vapor-phase chromatography, which revealed that exchange of the amino residue had occurred in a ratio of eight morpholine to one piperidine. Marchese proposed a scheme [Eqs. (4), (5) and (6)] to account for these... 

The acid-catalyzed reaction of acetophenone with acyclic secondary amines results in the formation of the expected enamine and a rearrangement product. The latter product arises from the transfer of one of the amino N-alkyl groups to the cnamine s carbon to produce a ketimine (53a). 

Van Tamelen (I24a) has reported a useful and specific synthetic method for the production of enamines by the oxidative decarboxylation of N,N-dialkyl a-amino acids with sodium hypochlorite. 

Finally, it should be noted that at alkaline and neutral pH a concerted mechanism, involving /S-carbon protonation of the enamine and a simultaneous addition of a water molecule, leading to the amino alcohol, can be rejeeted, since the immonium ion appeared to be a real and deteetable intermediate. 

The differenee in reaction rates of the amino alcohols to isobutyraldehyde and the secondary amine in strong acidic solutions is determined by the reactivity as well as the concentration of the intermediate zwitterions [Fig. 2, Eq. (10)]. Since several of the equilibrium constants of the foregoing reactions are unknown, an estimate of the relative concentrations of these dipolar species is difficult. As far as the reactivity is concerned, the rate of decomposition is expected to be higher, according as the basicity of the secondary amines is lower, since the necessary driving force to expel the amine will increase with increasing basicity of the secondary amine. The kinetics and mechanism of the hydrolysis of enamines demonstrate that not only resonance in the starting material is an important factor [e.g., if... 

When trichloroacetic acid is used to protonate an enamine (17,17a), the salt has only limited stability. The trichloroacetate anion undergoes decarboxylation and the trichloromethyl anion which is generated adds to the iminium salt, giving an a-amino trichloromethyl derivative (8). 

The reaction of isocyanates with enamines disubstituted at the -carbon gives -amino- -lactams (107,108). Thus the enamine (16) reacted exothermally with phenylisocyanate to give (33) dimethyl-l-phenyl-4-dimethylamino-2-acetidinone (157), which was converted by acid hydrolysis to 2-formyl-2-methyl propionanilide (158). 

Analogous compounds with a secondary amino group (a,j8-unsaturated secondary amines) can, in principle, exist in either the form of imines (6) or the tautomeric form of enamines (7). As they practically occur and react in the former structure, it is more convenient to use the group designation imines. ... 

Preparation of Heterocyclic Enamines from y- and h-Amino Ketones... 

Dehydrogenation of amino alcohols of type 40 affords even bicyclic compounds 41, the formation of which can be explained by nucleophilic attack of the hydroxyl group on the formed enamine salt (133,134).
