Substituted Amides. Monosubstituted and disubstituted amides can be synthesized with or without solvents from fatty acids and aLkylamines. Fatty acids, their esters, and acid halides can be converted to substituted amides by reaction with primary or secondary aLkylamines, arylamines, polyamines, or hydroxyaLkylamines (30). Di- -butylamine reacts with oleic acid (2 1 mole ratio) at 200—230°C and 1380 kPa (200 psi) to produce di-A/-butyloleamide. Entrained water with excess -butylamine is separated for recycling later (31).

The syntheses of simple 1,3-oxazines (74AG596 86G361) from acylated amino acids (86G361) by treatment with dihalotriphenylphosphorane and of heterocondensed l,3-oxazin-4-ones from several N-acylated heterocyclic /3-enamino esters (81CB3188) have been implemented by aza-Wittig reactions of heterocyclic 2-(triphenylphosphoranylidenamino)esters with acid halides. 

Halogenations with dihalotriphenylphosphoranes have been reviewed briefly by Fieser and Fieser.4 Dibromotriphenylphos-phorane appears to have been studied somewhat more than the dichloro compound, but both reagents effectively convert alcohols to alkyl halides, carboxylic acids and esters to acid halides, etc. The reaction of 1,2-epoxycyclohexane with dibromotriphenylphos-phorane under conditions similar to those described here gives a mixture of cis- and trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexanes. A reagent prepared from triphenylphosphine and carbon tetrachloride has been used for similar transformations.5... 

The primary and secondary alcohol functionalities have different reactivities, as exemplified by the slower reaction rate for secondary hydroxyls in the formation of esters from acids and alcohols (8). 1,2-Propylene glycol undeigoes most of the typical alcohol reactions, such as reaction with a free acid, acyl halide, or acid anhydride to form an ester reaction with alkali metal hydroxide to form metal salts and reaction with aldehydes or ketones to form acetals and ketals (9,10). The most important commercial application of propylene glycol is in the manufacture of polyesters by reaction with a dibasic or polybasic acid. 

A different approach toward preparation of phosphinous and phosphonous iodides uses the reaction of iodoalkanes with either PI3 or PI5. This reaction is specific for iodoalkanes and phosphorus iodides and is not applicable to other halides. From the resultant highly reactive phosphinous and phosphonous iodides, the full range of the parent acid derivatives may be prepared (esters, other acid halides, anhydrides, amides). We will not be concerned here with these preparations of derivatives of the parent acids, topics that are considered in other reports. ... 

Diacyloxy compounds are intermediates in the conversion of olefins and 1,2-dihalides to glycols (method 95). Although the diesters are seldom isolated, yields are good where their isolation has been attempted. The well-known reaction of an alkyl halide with a silver salt of an acid is used infrequently. It is sometimes valuable in making esters from acids which isomerize during direct esterification. Thus, the labile double bond of 3 niethyl-3-butenoic acid is unaffected by conversion to the methyl ester by this method. ...

Bisamides. Methylenebisamides are prepared by the reaction of the primary fatty amide and formaldehyde in the presence of an acid catalyst. N,Ar-Methylenebisoleamide has been made via this route without the use of refluxing solvent (55). Polymethylenebisamides can be made from fatty acid, esters, or acid halides with diamines while producing water, alcohol, or mineral acid by-products. Fatty acids and diamines, typically ethylenediamine, have been condensed in the presence of NaBH and NaH2P02 to yield bisamides (56). When stearic acid, ethylenediamine, and methyl acetate react for 6 h at... 

Since amides are the least reactive of the carboxylic acid derivatives (shown on the chart above), we can therefore make amides from any carboxylic acid derivatives that are higher on the chart. In other words, we can make amides from acid halides, from anhydrides, or from esters. 

So far, in this section, we have seen that we can make amides from acid halides, from acid anhydrides, or from esters. Now that we know how to make amides, let s explore some important reactions of amides. Specifically, we will explore hydrolysis of amides (under acidic or basic condition). It is worth mentioning that much of biochemistry is dependent on how, when, and why amides will undergo hydrolysis. So, if you plan on taking biochemistry, you should certainly be familiar with the hydrolysis of amides, which can occur under either basic conditions or acidic conditions ... 

Carboxylic acid derivatives (Section 17.1) Acyl compounds that can be synthesized from a carboxylic acid or another carboxylic acid derivative. Examples include esters, amides, acid halides, anhydrides, etc. 

Polymeric amines can be proton acceptors, acyl transfer agents, or ligands for metal ions. The 2- and 4-isomers of poly(vinylpyridine) (11) and (12) and the weakly basic ion exchange resins, p-dimethylaminomethylated PS (2) and poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl acrylate), are commercial. The ion exchange resins are catalysts for aldol condensations, Knoevenagel condensations, Perkin reactions, cyanohydrin formation and redistributions of chlorosilanes. " The poly(vinylpyridine)s have been used in stoichiometric amounts for preparation of esters from acid chlorides and alcohols, and for preparation of trimethylsilyl ethers and trimethylsilylamines from chlorotrimethylsilane and alcohols or amines. Polymer-suppored DBU (l,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene) (52) in stoichiometric amounts promotes dehydrohalogenation of alkyl bromides and esterification of carboxylic acids with alkyl halides. The protonated tertiary amine resins are converted to free base form by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide. 

The acylpalladium complex formed from acyl halides undergoes intramolecular alkene insertion. 2,5-Hexadienoyl chloride (894) is converted into phenol in its attempted Rosenmund reduction[759]. The reaction is explained by the oxidative addition, intramolecular alkene insertion to generate 895, and / -elimination. Chloroformate will be a useful compound for the preparation of a, /3-unsaturated esters if its oxidative addition and alkene insertion are possible. An intramolecular version is known, namely homoallylic chloroformates are converted into a-methylene-7-butyrolactones in moderate yields[760]. As another example, the homoallylic chloroformamide 896 is converted into the q-methylene- -butyrolactams 897 and 898[761]. An intermolecular version of alkene insertion into acyl chlorides is known only with bridgehead acid chlorides. Adamantanecarbonyl chloride (899) reacts with acrylonitrile to give the unsaturated ketone 900[762],...

From Boron Halides. Using boron haUdes is not economically desirable because boron haUdes are made from boric acid. However, this method does provide a convenient laboratory synthesis of boric acid esters. The esterification of boron haUdes with alcohol is analogous to the classical conversion of carboxyUc acid haUdes to carboxyUc esters. Simple mixing of the reactants at room temperature or below ia a solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform, pentane, etc, yields hydrogen haUde and the borate ia high yield. 

Notable examples of general synthetic procedures in Volume 47 include the synthesis of aromatic aldehydes (from dichloro-methyl methyl ether), aliphatic aldehydes (from alkyl halides and trimethylamine oxide and by oxidation of alcohols using dimethyl sulfoxide, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and pyridinum trifluoro-acetate the latter method is particularly useful since the conditions are so mild), carbethoxycycloalkanones (from sodium hydride, diethyl carbonate, and the cycloalkanone), m-dialkylbenzenes (from the />-isomer by isomerization with hydrogen fluoride and boron trifluoride), and the deamination of amines (by conversion to the nitrosoamide and thermolysis to the ester). Other general methods are represented by the synthesis of 1 J-difluoroolefins (from sodium chlorodifluoroacetate, triphenyl phosphine, and an aldehyde or ketone), the nitration of aromatic rings (with ni-tronium tetrafluoroborate), the reductive methylation of aromatic nitro compounds (with formaldehyde and hydrogen), the synthesis of dialkyl ketones (from carboxylic acids and iron powder), and the preparation of 1-substituted cyclopropanols (from the condensation of a 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol derivative and ethyl-... 

Several routes to such derivatives have been covered already by primary synthesis (Chapter 1), from quinoxalinecarboxylic acids (Section 7.1.2), from quinoxalinecarboxylic esters (Section 7.2.2), and from quinoxalinecarbonyl halides (Section 7.3). Other preparative routes are illustrated in the following classified examples. 

These reactions are most important for the preparation of acyl fluorides. " Acyl chlorides and anhydrides can be converted to acyl fluorides by treatment with polyhydrogen fluoride-pyridine solution" or with liquid HF at — 10°C. Formyl fluoride, which is a stable compound, was prepared by the latter procedure from the mixed anhydride of formic and acetic acids. Acyl fluorides can also be obtained by reaction of acyl chlorides with KF in acetic acid or with DAST. Carboxylic esters and anhydrides can be converted to acyl halides other than fluorides by the inorganic acid halides mentioned in 10-77, as well as with PhsPXa (X = Cl or but this is seldom done. Halide exchange can be carried out in a...
