Heterocychc substituents

Several types of nitrogen substituents occur in known dye stmetures. The most useful are the acid-substituted alkyl N-substituents such as sulfopropyl, which provide desirable solubiUty and adsorption characteristics for practical cyanine and merocyanine sensitizers. Patents in this area are numerous. Other types of substituents include N-aryl groups, heterocycHc substituents, and complexes of dye bases with metal ions (iridium, platinum, zinc, copper, nickel). Heteroatom substituents directly bonded to nitrogen (N—O, N—NR2, N—OR) provide photochemically reactive dyes. 

Many chemical compounds have been described in the Hterature as fluorescent, and since the 1950s intensive research has yielded many fluorescent compounds that provide a suitable whitening effect however, only a small number of these compounds have found practical uses. Collectively these materials are aromatic or heterocycHc compounds many of them contain condensed ring systems. An important feature of these compounds is the presence of an unintermpted chain of conjugated double bonds, the number of which is dependent on substituents as well as the planarity of the fluorescent part of the molecule. Almost all of these compounds ate derivatives of stilbene [588-59-0] or 4,4 -diaminostilbene biphenyl 5-membeted heterocycles such as triazoles, oxazoles, imidazoles, etc or 6-membeted heterocycles, eg, coumarins, naphthaUmide, t-triazine, etc. 

The spectroscopic properties of the /V-nitrosamines, especially the nmr and mass spectra, vary widely depending on the substituents on the amine nitrogen (44—47). The nmr spectra are affected by the E—Z isomerism around the N—N partial double bond and by the axial—equatorial geometry resulting from conformational isomerism in the heterocycles (44,45). Some general spectral characteristics for typical dialkylnitrosamines and simple heterocycHc nitrosamines are given in Table 1. 

Amines are derivatives of ammonia in which one or more of the hydrogens is replaced with an alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, or heterocycHc group. When more than one hydrogen has been replaced, the substituents can either be the same or different. Amines are classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary depending on the number of hydrogens which have been replaced. It is important to note that the designations primary, secondary, and tertiary refer only to the number of substituents and not to the nature of the substituents as in some classes of compounds. 

Chemical Properties. The presence of both a carbocycHc and a heterocycHc ring faciUtates a broad range of chemical reactions for (1) and (2). Quaternary alkylation on nitrogen takes place readily, but unlike pyridine both quinoline and isoquinoline show addition by subsequent reaction with nucleophiles. Nucleophilic substitution is promoted by the heterocycHc nitrogen. ElectrophiHc substitution takes place much more easily than in pyridine, and the substituents are generally located in the carbocycHc ring. 

The reaction of /V-henzylideneaniline (19) with alkynes leads to quinolines substituted in the heterocychc ting (56). Except for benzyhdenes bearing nitro substituents, the reaction occurs in good yield and under mild conditions. The method appears capable of elaboration. 

The schemes depicted in Figure 7 contrast two complimentary approaches to cefotiam (50) in which the timing of the introduction of the C-3 substituent differs. In Route A the heterocycHc thiol C-3 substituent is introduced even before the removal of the aminoadipoyl acyl side chain. The acetonylacetyl C-3 substituent was introduced because it gave considerably higher yields and cleaner product in the nucleophilic displacement step than the corresponding acetoxy, and the starting material, deacetylcephalosporin C (5) was readily available from a fermentation process (190,191). 

The Bart reaction is successful with a wide variety of aromatic and heterocycHc amines. A variation in which an aromatic amine, in the presence of arsenic trichloride, is dia2oti2ed in an organic solvent (the ScheUer reaction) has also found wide appHcation. Both arsonic and arsinic acids can be prepared by the ScheUer reaction which often gives better yields than the Bart reaction with electron-attracting substituents on the aromatic ring. For the commercial preparation of 4-aminophenylarsonic acid [98-50-0] (arsaniUc acid), C HgAsNO, and 4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid [98-14-6] C H AsO, the Bnchamp reaction is used ... 

The two substituents and a pair of electrons occupy the three sp -hybrid orbitals, while a formally vacant p orbital remains at the carbene carbon atom. Because of the similar chemical behavior of these nucleophihc carbenes compared to phosphines, organometallic chemists have in many cases successfully replaced phosphines by stronger donating N-heterocychc carbenes.

Perfluoro- or F-nomenclatures are extremely convenient for the heterocychc systems containing a large number of fluorines or perfluoroalkyl substituents. For example, hsting all positions of 12 fluorine substiments in F-thiepane (see Fig. 0.3) makes systematic name of this compound long and cumbersome.
