Ethanolamine reactions

Figure 348 Biotinylated liposomes may be formed using biotinylated phosphatidyl ethanolamine. Reaction of NHS-LC-biotin with PE results in amide bond linkages and a long spacer arm terminating in a biotin group.

Thus, whereas in mammalian tissue phosphatidyl ethanolamine is formed by way of CDP-ethanolamine (Reaction 19), and incidentally may be methylated to form lecithin (Figure 2), in E, coli phosphatidyl ethanolamine is derived from phosphatidyl serine (Reaction 22), which is formed by way of CDP-diglyceride (Reaction 21, Figure 4). 

The work of Hubscher (1962) and Borkenhagen, Kennedy and Fielding (1961) indicates that in mammalian tissues phosphatidyl serine (IX) is not formed by the transfer of (9-phosphoserine from CDP-serine to D-cx,j8-diglyceride by a reaction analogous to those already described for the formation of lecithin and phosphatidyl ethanolamine (Reactions 12 and 19). Apparently free serine and not 0-phosphoserine is the immediate precursor of phosphatidyl serine. Serine displaces ethanolamine from phosphatidyl ethanolamine in an enzymic reaction activated by Ca and not requiring ATP ... 

Reference has been made already to the recent findings of Kanfer and Kennedy (1964), who showed that in cell-free extracts of E, coli phosphatidyl serine is formed by a different pathway. A phosphatidyl group is transferred from CDP-diglyceride to L-serine by a highly specific enzyme L-serine-CMP phosphatidyl-transferase (Reaction 21). In this organism most of the phosphatidyl serine so formed is decarboxylated to yield phosphatidyl ethanolamine (Reaction 22). 

An example of mixed parallel and series reactions is the production of ethanolamines by reaction between ethylene oxide and ammonia ... 

Petroleum and Goal. The alkanolarnines have found wide use in the petroleum industry. The ethanolamines are used as lubricants and stabilizers in drilling muds. Reaction products of the ethan olamines and fatty acids are used as emulsion stabilizers, chemical washes, and bore cleaners (168). Oil recovery has been enhanced through the use of ethan olamine petroleum sulfonates (169—174). OH—water emulsions pumped from wells have been demulsifted through the addition of triethanolarnine derivatives. Alkanolarnines have been used in recovering coal in aqueous slurries and as coal—oil mix stabilizers (175—177). 

GirhotolAmine Process. This process developed by the Girdler Corporation is similar in operation to the alkali carbonate processes. However, it uses aqueous solutions of an ethanolamine, ie, either mono-, di-, or triethanolamine. The operation of the Girbotol process depends on the reversible nature of the reaction of CO2 with monoetbanolamine [141-43-5] to form monoethanolamine carbonate [21829-52-7]. 

Ammonium acetate and sodium methoxide are effective catalysts for the ammonolysis of soybean oil (49). Polyfunctional amines and amino alcohols such as ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, and diethanolamine react to give useful intermediates. Ethylenediamine can form either a monoamide or a diamide depending on the mole ratio of reactants. With an equimolar ratio of reactants and a temperature of >250° C, a cyclization reaction occurs to give imidazolines with ethylenediamine (48) ... 

Ethanolamines. These are produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide and ammonia (see Alkanolamines). Approximately one-third of the production is used in detergents. Other appHcations include natural gas purification, cosmetics, metalworking, textiles, and chemical intermediates (282). 

Oxazolines are prepared by the reaction of a fatty acid with ethanolamine Figure 7.11). 

Phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis begins with phosphorylation of ethanol-amine to form phosphoethanolamine (Figure 25.19). The next reaction involves transfer of a cytidylyl group from CTP to form CDP-ethanolamine and pyrophosphate. As always, PP, hydrolysis drives this reaction forward. A specific phosphoethanolamine transferase then links phosphoethanolamine to the diacylglycerol backbone. Biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine is entirely analogous because animals synthesize it directly. All of the choline utilized in this pathway must be acquired from the diet. Yeast, certain bacteria, and animal livers, however, can convert phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine by methylation reactions involving S-adenosylmethionine (see Chapter 26). 

Mammals synthesize phosphatidylserine (PS) in a calcium ion-dependent reaction involving aminoalcohol exchange (Figure 25.21). The enzyme catalyzing this reaction is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum and will accept phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and other phospholipid substrates. A mitochondrial PS decarboxylase can subsequently convert PS to PE. No other pathway converting serine to ethanolamine has been found. 

FIGURE 25.19 Diacylglycerol and CDP-diacylglycerol are the principal precursors of glycerolipids in eukaryotes. Phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine are formed by reaction of diacylglycerol with CDP-ethanolamine or CDP-choline, respectively. 

Write a balanced, stoichiometric reaction for the synthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine from glycerol, fatty acyl-CoA, and ethanolamine. Make an estimate of the AG° for the overall process. 

Maximum conversion occurs by equilibration at the lowest possible temperature so the reaction is carried out sequentially on two beds of catalyst (a) iron oxide (400°C) which reduces the CO concentration from 11% to 3% (b) a copper catalyst (200°) which reduces the CO content to 0.3%. Removal of CO2 ( 18%) is effected in a scrubber containing either a concentrated alkaline solution of K2CO3 or an amine such as ethanolamine ... 

Direct bromination readily yields the 6-bromo derivative (111), just as with uracil. Analogous chlorination and iodination requires the presence of alkalies and even then proceeds in low yield. The 6-chloro derivative (113) was also obtained by partial hydrolysis of the postulated 3,5,6-trichloro-l,2,4-triazine (e.g.. Section II,B,6). The 6-bromo derivative (5-bromo-6-azauracil) served as the starting substance for several other derivatives. It was converted to the amino derivative (114) by ammonium acetate which, by means of sodium nitrite in hydrochloric acid, yielded a mixture of 6-chloro and 6-hydroxy derivatives. A modified Schiemann reaction was not suitable for preparing the 6-fluoro derivative. The 6-hydroxy derivative (115) (an isomer of cyanuric acid and the most acidic substance of this group, pKa — 2.95) was more conveniently prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of the 6-amino derivative. Further the bromo derivative was reacted with ethanolamine to prepare the 6-(2-hydroxyethyl) derivative however, this could not be converted to the corresponding 2-chloroethyl derivative. Similarly, the dimethylamino, morpholino, and hydrazino derivatives were prepared from the 6-bromo com-pound. ... 

A hydrogen-bonded cyclic transition state can be postulated for a nucleophile like ethanolamine or ethylene glycol anion whose hydrogen bonding to an azine-nitrogen in aprotic solvents can facilitate reaction via a cyclic transition state such as 78, cf. Section II, F. Ethanolamine is uniquely reactive with 2-chloronitrobenzene by virtue of a cyclic solvate (17) of the leaving group, a postulate in line with kinetic evidence. 

The reaction of 5-methoxy-2(5//)-furanone 168 with amines was also studied (89T6799). The conjugated addition of ethanolamine to the furanone 168 gave the racemic amino lactone 275 (R = CH2CH20H). Similarly, piperazine reacted with two equivalents of 168 to provide the diadduct 276 as a single diastereomer (no traces of the other isomer were detected). With tryptamine, the reaction was nearly quantitative with the the formation the tran -adduct 277 (R = tryptophanyl) (Scheme 72) (89T6799). 

Reaction of dibenzylamine with ethylene oxide affords the amino alcohol, 82. Treatment of that product with thionyl chloride gives the a-sympathetic blocking agent, dibenamine (83). (Condensation of phenol with propylene chlorohydrin (84) gives the alcohol, 85. Reaction with thionyl chloride affords the chloride (86). Use of the halide to alkylate ethanolamine affords the secondary amine (87). Alkylation of this last with benzyl chloride... 

Antispasmodic activity, interestingly, is maintained even in the face of the deletion of the ethanolamine ester side chain. Reaction of anisaldehyde with potassium cyanide and dibutylamine hydrochloride affords the corresponding a-aminonitrile (72) (a functionality analogous to a cyanohydrin). Treatment with sulfuric acid hydrolyzes the nitrile to the amide to yield ambucet-amide (73). ... 

Reaction of ciclopirox with ethanolamine gives the desired product. 

A) 1-(2-Amino-5-chlorophenyll-1-(2-fluorophenyll-2-a2a-but-1-en-4-ol A mixture of 40 g of 2-methylimidazole hydrochloride and of 90 g of 2-amino-5-chloro-2 -fluoro-benzophenone in 240 ml of ethanolamine is heated at 135 for 2 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture is poured into an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The mixture is extracted with ether, the organic phase is washed repeatedly with water and is dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent is evaporated to dryness. The residual oil is chromatographed on a silica column, elution being carried out with a 50/50 mixture of cyclohexane and ethyl acetate. 

Step 2 To 494 grams of ethanolamine, heated to approximately 150°C in a 500 ml flask equipped with stirrer, condenser and dropping funnel, is added 465 grams of 1-phenoxy-2-chloropropane with mechanical stirring. The reaction mixture is then heated to reflux for 3 hours, cooled and poured into a liter of water. The organic layer is extracted into ether and the ether solution is extracted with dilute hydrochloric acid. The aqueous acid solution is then made alkaline with 40% sodium hydroxide solution and the organic base is extracted into ether. Removal of the ether leaves N-(phenoxyisopropyl)-ethanolamine which, after recrystallization from hexane, melts at 70.5°-72°C. 

Ethanolamines are important absorbents of acid gases in natural gas treatment processes. Another major use of ethanolamines is the production of surfactants. The reaction between ethanolamines and fatty acids... 

This class of aziridine-forming reaction includes the first reaction reported to afford aziridines. In 1888 Gabriel reported that aziridines could be prepared in a two-step process, by chlorination of ethanolamines with thionyl chloride, followed by alkali-induced cyclization [75]. Wenker subsequently reported that heating of 600 g of ethanolamine with more than 1 kg of 96 % sulfuric acid at high temperature produced P-aminoethyl sulphuric acid 282 g of it was distilled from aqueous base to give 23 g of aziridine itself, the first preparation of the parent compound in a pure condition [76]. Though there is no evidence to substantiate the hypothesis, the intermediate in these reactions is perhaps a cyclic sulfamidate (Scheme 4.51).
