Functional groups ammonium

The diacid-diamine amidation described in reaction 2 in Table 5.4 has been widely studied in the melt, in solution, and in the solid state. When equal amounts of two functional groups are present, both the rate laws and the molecular weight distributions are given by the treatment of the preceding sections. The stoichiometric balance between reactive groups is readily obtained by precipitating the 1 1 ammonium salt from ethanol ... 

Strong Base Anion Exchangers. As ia the synthesis of weak base anion exchangers, strong base resias are manufactured from styrenic as well as acryhc copolymers. Those based on copolymers of styrene and divinylben2ene are chloromethylated and then aminated. These reactions are the same as for the styrenic weakbase resias. The esseatial differeace is the amine used for amination. Trimethyl amine [75-50-3] N(CH2)3, and /V, /V- dim ethyl eth a n ol amine [108-01 -0] (CH2)2NCH2CH20H, are most commonly used. Both form quaternary ammonium functional groups similar to (8).

The amino functional group is not commonly encountered in steroid synthesis except perhaps in steroidal alkaloids. However, certain elimination reactions have been shown to have theoretical and limited preparative importance, largely due to the efforts of McKenna and co-workers. The Hofmann rule for 2 elimination predicts that alkaline elimination of quaternary ammonium salts will occur towards the carbon carrying the most hydrogen atoms cf. the converse Saytzeff orientation, above). In cyclohexyl systems, the requirement for diaxial elimination appears to be important, as in other 2 eliminations, and the Hofmann rule frequently is not obeyed [e.g., (116) (117)]. 

Most functional groups do not interfere with the diazotization reaction. Since aliphatic amines are stronger bases and therefore completely protonated at a pH < 3, it is possible that an aromatic amino group is converted into a diazonium group, while an aliphatic amino group present in the same substrate molecule is protected as ammonium ion and does not react. ... 

The organic resin material is often a styrene divinylbenzene (DVB) copolymer in a network or matrix, to which are attached functional groups such as a sulfonic acid, carboxylic acid, and quaternary ammonium. The nature of these groups determines whether the resin is classified as a strong/weak acid (cation resin) or strong/weak base (anion resin) ion-exchanger. 

In each case, the N atom is sp hybridized, with one lone pair of electrons and three o-bonds. A quaternary ammonium ion is a tetrahedral ion of the form R4N, where as many as three of the R groups (which may all be different) can be replaced by H atoms. For example, the tetramethylammonium ion, (CH3)4N+, and the trimethylammonium ion, (CH3)3NH+, are quaternary ammonium ions. The amino group, the parent functional group of amines, is —NH2. 

Finally, epoxides can be converted into other functional groups under certain well-defined conditions. For example, ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) catalyzes the efficient conversion of epoxides to thiiranes (i.e., 124 125) at room temperature in te/t-butanol <96SYN821>. 

Gould and coworkers have extensively studied the biosyntheses of the kinamycins, and this work was recently reviewed [5a]. Feeding studies established that the carbo-cyclic skeletons of the kinamycins are constructed from 10 equivalents of 5-acetyl coenzyme A, and the pathway shown in Scheme 3.4 was proposed. The pathway begins with formation of the natural product dehydrorabelomycin (29). A novel ring contraction then occurs to form the cyclopentadienone 30. Feeding studies with /V-15-ammonium sulfate established that the diazo functional group is then installed... 

The ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) promoted oxidation of oxazoles with various substitution patterns was investigated and yielded the corresponding imides 108 in good yields, tolerating a wide variety of functional groups and substituents on the oxazole moiety <06OL5669>.
