Hydrazination palladium-carbon

When the required 1,2-diaminoarencs are not readily available it is often possible to utilize o-nitroanilines as substitutes. They can be successively reduced or hydrogenated and then cyclized [82, 91, 133], or the cyclization and reduction processes can be combined. Suitable reducing agents are triethyl phosphite, iron pentacarbonyl, titanium(III) chloride, Raney nickel-hydrazine, palladium-carbon, bisulfite or dithionitc, and metal-acid [54, 134,135]. Thus, 4,5-dimethyl 2-nitroaniline heated at 90"C (1 h) with formic acid and sodium dithionitc gives 5,6-dimethyIbenzimidazolc in 92% yield [136]. 

The triazole forms by combination of ring-fission products with hydrazine. Similar reactions of hydrazine with 2-nitroimidazoles in the presence of palladium-carbon result in reduction of the nitro group <84JOC932>, while 1-methylbenzimidazole-3-oxide gives 2-hydrazino-l-methylbenzimidazole... 

Tandem sequences have also yielded some interesting pyrazole structures. Four-component coupling of terminal alkynes 37, hydrazines 38, carbon monoxide and aryl iodides furnished pyrazoles 39 in the presence of palladium catalyst <05OL4487>. Fully substituted 1/f-pyrazoles 42 were prepared from the condensation/fragmentation/cyclization/extrusion reactions of thietanone 40 with 1,2,4,5-tetrazines 41 <05JOC8468>. Reactions of isocyanides 43 and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates 44 in the presence of 1,2-diacylhydrazines 45 led to highly-functionalized pyrazolines 46 <05TL6545>. 

TAPOB was synthesized by reduction of l,3,5-tris(4-nitrophenoxy)benzene with palladium carbon and hydrazine in methanol [14], 6FDA was kindly supphed from Daikin Industries, Ltd. Pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 4,4 -oxidiphthahc anhydride (ODRA) were obtained from Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd. and Manac Incorporated, respectively. TMOS, MTMS, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTrMOS), and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) were purchased from Aldrich. Chemical structures of monomers and alkoxysilanes are shown in Figure 8.2.

A cousin to this reduction is one using stannous chloride (a.k.a. SnCb, a.k.a. Tin chloride) which is done exactly as the calcium one except that about lOOg of SnCb is used in place of the Mg or Ca and the addition occurs at room temperature and the solution is stirred for one hour rather than 15 minutes. Some very good reductions that operate almost exclusively at room temperature with no pressure and give almost 100% yields are to follow. The only reason Strike did not detail these methods is that some of the chemicals involved are a little less common than Strike is used to but all are available to the public. These alternatives include acetlylacetone and triethylamine [73], propanedithlol and trieth-ylamine [74], triphenylphosphine [75], NaBH4 with phase transfer catalyst [76], H2S and pyridine [77], and palladium hydrox-ide/carbon with hydrazine [78], stannous chloride dihydrate [85]. 

Palladium catalysts have been prepared by fusion of palladium chloride in sodium nitrate to give palladium oxide by reduction of palladium salts by alkaline formaldehyde or sodium formate, by hydrazine and by the reduction of palladium salts with hydrogen.The metal has been prepared in the form of palladium black, and in colloidal form in water containing a protective material, as well as upon supports. The supports commonly used are asbestos, barium carbonate, ... 

Two hydrogen-transfer systems have been developed that also give good yields of hydroxylamines. One uses 5% palladium-on-carbon in aqueous tetrahydrofuran with phosphinic acid or its sodium salt as hydrogen donor the other uses 5% rhodium-on-carbon in aqueous tetrahydrofuran and hydrazine as donor. These systems are complementary and which is the better may depend on the substrate (36). The reductions cannot be followed by pressure drop, and both require analysis of the product to determine when the reduction should be terminated. 

N-Nilrosoamines are reduced easily lo ihe hydrazine and, if continued, lo the amine (62). Early workers ruled out cleavage of dimeihylhydrazine as the source of dimethylamine in hydrogenation of N-nitrosodimethylamine since liule ammonia was found the letramethylietrazene was implicated in the hydrogenolysis (fSI). Palladium-on-carbon under mild conditions is used for industrial production of dialkyl hydrazines from N-nitrosoamines. 

The methoxymethyl ether protecting groups of 33 were then cleaved using triphenylphosphine and carbon tetrabromide. The resulting hydroquinone function was oxidized by palladium on carbon under an atmosphere of air to afford the quinone 52 (70 %). A two-step procedure was implemented to install the diazo function. First, the ketone function of 52 was condensed with N,N -bis( tert-butyldimethylsilyl)hydrazine in the presence of scandium triflate, which formed the Af-tert-butyldimethylsilyl hydrazone 53. The hydrazone (53) was then oxidized using difluoroiodobenzene to afford kinamycin C (3) in 35 % yield. 

Pyrazoles were synthesized in the authors laboratory by Le Blanc et al. from the epoxy-ketone as already stated in Sect. 3.1.1a, Scheme 35 [80]. The synthetic strategy employed by Le Blanc et al. [80] was based upon that the strategy published by Bhat et al. [81] who also described the synthesis of pyrazoles but did not report cytotoxic evaluation on the synthesized compounds. Scheme 48 shows the synthesis of the most active compound (178). Dissolution of the epoxide (179) with a xylenes followed by treatment with p-toluenesulfonic acid and hydrazine hydrate produced the pure nitro-pyrazole 180 in good yield (60%). Catalytic hydrogenation with palladium on activated carbon allowed the amino-pyrazole (178) to be obtained in a pure form. This synthesis allowed relatively large numbers of compounds to be produced as the crude product was sufficiently pure. Yield, reaction time, and purification compared to reported approaches were improved [50, 61, and 81]. Cytotoxicity of these pyrazole analogs was disappointing. The planarity of these compounds may account for this, as CA-4, 7 is a twisted molecule. 

Ruthenium catalysts, supported on a commercial alumina (surface area 155 m have been prepared using two different precursors RUCI3 and Ru(acac)3 [172,173]. Ultrasound is used during the reduction step performed with hydrazine or formaldehyde at 70 °C. The ultrasonic power (30 W cm ) was chosen to minimise the destructive effects on the support (loss of morphological structure, change of phase). Palladium catalysts have been supported both on alumina and on active carbon [174,175]. Tab. 3.6 lists the dispersion data provided by hydrogen chemisorption measurements of a series of Pd catalysts supported on alumina. is the ratio between the surface atoms accessible to the chemisorbed probe gas (Hj) and the total number of catalytic atoms on the support. An increase in the dispersion value is observed in all the sonicated samples but the effect is more pronounced for low metal loading. 

The dehalogenation of naphthyridines with hydrogen over palladium on calcium carbonate in a weakly basic alcoholic solution gives excellent yields (90-95%) of reduced compounds.38,45,134,137,138 This method for removal of halogens has been extensively used and generally surpasses the classic hydrazine-copper sulfate reduction method.
