Functional groups amido/amide

However, the redox potentials of the Ni(II) complexes of the aza-cyclam (3b-3g) containing carboxamide or sulfonamide functional groups are reported to be influenced by the nature of the functional group. In particular, the amide fragment controls the reduction potential for the Nim/Nin and NiI1/NiI redox couples, which may be attributed to the it interaction between the nickel ion and the amido group 14). 

Functionalized tertiary aryl phosphines play an important role in transition metal coordination chemistry. These compounds have been used as ligands in synthesis, catalysis, mechanistic studies, and in the study of coordination compounds as structural models. In this contribution the syntheses of two new types of these ligands, tertiary aryl phosphines functionalized by an amide group, are detailed. The published coordination chemistry of these compounds includes the study of intramolecular N—H oxidative addition, the synthesis of chelates stabilized amido complexes, and the preparation of complexes with both ftve- and six-membered chelate rings. ... 

The synthesis of three fragments 278, 282, and 285 for the C21-C42 bottom segment is summarized in Scheme 41. The Eschenmoser-Claisen rearrangement of amido acetal of 276, which was prepared via 2-bromocyclohexenone by Corey s asymmetric reduction, afforded amide 277. Functional group manipulation including chain elongation provided Evans-type amide 278. The Evans aldol reaction of boron enolate of 279 with aldehyde 280 stereoselectively afforded 281, which was converted into aldehyde 282 through a sequence of seven steps... 

Functional groups that may have to be determined include hydroxy, carbonyl, carboxyl, alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, oxyalkylene, nitrile, ester, amino, nitro, amide, amido, imino, and epoxy groups. Comonomer ratios, isomers, and short-chain branching are all structural features of polymers that may have to be elucidated in order to obtain a complete picture of polymer structure. 

In addition, the substitution of other functional groups in the immediate vicinity of the amide link often gives rise to marked spectral changes. The spectra of compounds containing the CO—NH—CO structure, for example, are sufficiently different from those of normal amides to enable them to be differentiated. Urethanes and anilides correspond more closely with normal amides, but in the substituted ureas the interpretation of the 1600 cm" region becomes extremely difficult due to the complexity of the NH absorptions. Insofar as it can be recognised, however, the amide carbonyl absorption appears at a normal frequency. Amido-acids have been considered elsewhere (Chapter 13) on account of the affinities they show to amino-acids.

The bisphosphonate - upon reduction with lithiumaluminum hydride in ether at 0°C - produced the amide functionalized primary bisphosphine (1) in good yields [45]. This reaction proceeded to reduce the amide group in 1 to produce the amine functionaUzed primary bisphosphine (2) in <5% yields. The amido bisprimary phosphine 1 is an air stable crystalline solid whereas the amine compound 2 is an oxidatively stable liquid. Separation of 1 and 2 in pure forms was achieved using coliunn chromatography. The amidic bisprimary phosphine 1 was crystallized from chloroform and exhibits remarkable stability not only in the solid state but also in solution as well. The crystal structure of the air stable primary his-phosphine 1 as shown in Fig. 1 is unprecedented to date. 

The acyclic precursor is an oc, 3-unsaturated amido aldehyde that was condensed with iV-methylhydroxylamine to generate the nitrone ( )-48, which then underwent a spontaneous cycloaddition with the alkene to afford the 5,5-ring system of the isoxazolidinyl lactam 47. The observed product arises via the ( )-nitrone transition state A [or the (Z)-nitrone equivalent] in which the position of the benzyl group ot to the nitrone effectively controls the two adjacent stereocenters while a third stereocenter is predicted from the alkene geometry. Both transition states maintain the benzyl auxiliary in an equatorial position and thus avoid the unfavorable 1,3-diaxial interaction with the nitrone methyl or oxygen found in transition state B. Semiempirical PM3 calculations confirm the extra stability, predicting exclusive formation of the observed product 47. Related cycloadducts from the intramolecular reaction of nitrones containing ester- rather than amide-tethered alkene functionality are also known (83-85). 

When acrylamides are used as dipolarophUes, FMO theory predicts that the 4-amido isomer should be preferred, which is contrary to the results found with tertiary amides (129). Semiempirical, ab initio, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were applied to the regioisomeric transition state stmctures of benzonitrile oxide cycloadditions (129-131). The results suggest that there is an unfavorable steric repulsion between the phenyl ring of the nitrile oxide and the methyl group of the ester (or amide) functionalities of the dipolarophile in the transition state leading to the 4-acyl regioisomer (Scheme 6.17). 

Dyong and Bendlin52 pointed out the possibility of functionalization of sorbic acid at C-3, -4, and -5 in the desired way. Introduction of two hydroxyl groups, at CA and C-5, may be accomplished stereospecifi-cally by means of cis-hvdroxylation, or by intermediation of an epoxide. Michael-type addition of a nucleophile to C-3 of the conjugated double-bond provides the possibility of obtaining all four diastereo-isomeric products. In this way, N-acetyl-DL-acosamine (137, 3-acet-amido-2,3,6-trideoxy-DL-arabmo-hexopyranose) was synthesized from 133 (obtained from the epoxide 129 in an aluminum chloride-catalyzed reaction with acetone). The amide 134 wasN-acetylated and... 

Cavitands, prepared by the Twente group, differ from the wide-rim CMPO calixarene not only by the basic scaffold, but also by the distance to the rim and in the amido function (tertiary amide versus secondary amide). In comparison to CMPO calixarenes, compounds Cvl and Cv2 did not lead to improvements in terms of extracting ability or selectivity.17169...
