Amino-4-nitropheno1 is produced commercially by the partial reduction of 2,4-dinitrophenol This reduction may be achieved electrolyticaHy using vanadium (159) or chemically with polysulftde, sodium hydrosulftde, or hydrazine and copper (160). Alternatively, 2-acetamidophenol or 2-methylbenzoxazole may be nitrated in sulfuric acid to yield a mixture of 4- and 5-nitro derivatives that are then separated and hydrolyzed with sodium hydroxide (161). 

Pyrido[2,3-c]furoxan (4-azabenzofuroxan, 31) is prepared by pyrolysis of the nitropyridotetrazole (30) (concerning its tauto-merism, see Section I1I,C). Some derivatives of 31 are also known (see Table I). Unsuccessful attempts to make pyrido[3,4-c]furoxan audits A -oxide have been reported, although its 7-nitro and 6,7-benzo (16) derivatives have been prepared. Hydrazine and 3,4-diaroylfuroxans give the diarylpyridazinofuroxans (32). ...

Several of the methods of synthesis of 2,2 -bipyridines have their counterpart in the preparation of 4,4 -bipyridine. The Ullmann reaction has been used to prepare 4,4 -bipyridine. Thus 4-halogenated pyridines afford 4,4 -bipyridine. Dehalogenation and dimerization of 4-bromopyridine may be accomplished too with hydrazine and alkali at 65°C in the presence of a palladium catalyst, whereas 4-chloropyridine is converted to 4,4 -bipyridine in 46% yield by reaction with alkaline sodium formate in the presence of palladium on charcoal and a surfactant. Several extensions of the Ullmann reaction have recently been reported, especially for the synthesis of substituted 4,4 -bipyridines. Thus 4-iodo-2-methylpyridine gives 2,2 -dimethyl-4,4 -bipyridine, 3-nitro-4-chloropyridine affords 3,3 -dinitro-4,4 -bipyridine, 4-bromo- or 4-iodotetrafluoropyridine gives octafluoro-4,4 -bipyridine, and 4-iodo- or 4-bromotetrachloropyridine gives octachloro-4,4 -bipyridine. Related syntheses have been de-...

Delft University of Technology and the University of Delaware) is hydrazinium nitroformate [N2H5.C (N02)3 Structure (4.2)] a salt of hydrazine (N2H4) and nitro-form or trinitromethane [HC(N02)3], reported to have been discovered in 1951. Of course, this is made without the use of N205. It is prepared as a precipitate [74] by acid-base reaction between nitroform and hydrazine, Equation 4.18. 

Fortunately, there is now a comprehensive body of knowledge on the metabolic reactions that produce reactive (toxic) intermediates, so the drug designer can be aware of what might occur, and take steps to circumvent the possibility. Nelson (1982) has reviewed the classes and structures of drugs whose toxicities have been linked to metabolic activation. Problem classes include aromatic and some heteroaromatic nitro compounds (which may be reduced to a reactive toxin), and aromatic amines and their N-acylated derivatives (which may be oxidized, before or after hydrolysis, to a toxic hydroxylamine or iminoquinone). These are the most common classes, but others are hydrazines and acyl-hydrazines, haloalkanes, thiols and thioureas, quinones, many alkenes and alkynes, benzenoid aromatics, fused polycyclic aromatic compounds, and electron-rich heteroaromatics such as furans, thiophenes and pyrroles. 

Isocoumarins react with aqueous ammonia or alkylamines to give good yields of isoquinolin-l-ones for example 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-l,2-dihydroisoquinolin-l-one (282). A 7-nitro group in the isocoumarin may be reduced by treatment with hydrazine and Raney nickel to the corresponding 7-amino derivative (284), but with hydrazine alone a 2,3-benzodiazepin-l-one (283) is formed (68JCS(C)2205,57JGU2342,81CPB249).

Kalritzky and coworkers have nitrated hydrazinium salts and 1,1-disubstituted hydrazines with nitro-nium tetrafluoroborate and other nitrating agents. Thus, nitrimides R3N N N02 were prepared in good yield from hydrazinium salts derived from tertiary amines such as trimethylamine and 2-methylpyridine 1-aminobenzotriazole was also nitrated at the amino group. 

Mixtures of hydrazine and other compounds form liquid explosives which have been described. A study of the detonability of binary and ternary mixtures of nitro me thane—hydrazine—methanol showed that N2H4 sensitizes nitromethane and nitromethane-methanol mixtures to detonation (Ref 29). From 2-10% N2H4 and 90-98% lower molecular weight nitroparaffins are claimed to be a water insoluble liquid explosive (Ref 22). Mixtures of hydrazine, ammonium nitrate and aluminum have been patented as explosive compositions with high air blast effects (Ref 32). 

The synthetic potential of reductions by formate has been extended considerably by the use of ammonium formate with transition metal catalysts like palladium and rhodium. This forms a safe alternative to use of hydrogen. In this fashion it is possible to reduce hydrazones to hydrazines, azides and nitro groups to amines, to dehalogenate chloro-substituted aromatics, and to carry out various reductive removals of functional groups. For example, phenol triflates are selectively deoxygenated to the aromatic derivatives using triethylammonium formate as reductant and a palladium catalyst. - These recent af li-cations have been reviewed. 

Hydroxy-3-nitro-5,6-diphenylpyrazine heated with aqueous hydrazine gave 2-hydrazino-34iydroxy-5,6-diphenylpyrazine (1124) whereas when refluxed with hydrazine and Raney nickel in methanol it gave 2-amino-3-hydroxy-5,6-diphenyl-pyrazine (1065). 

Azo phenols which are of course the same as hydroxy azo compounds (p. 576), azoxy phenolsy hydrazo phenolsy phenol hydrazines and di-azo phenols are all known either as phenols or as phenol ethers. The last group is interesting historically as the first diazo compound made by Griess was di-nitro phenol diazonium chloride,... 

Monosubstituted hydrazines treated with nitrous acid give azides in a reaction exactly analogous to the formation of aliphatic diazo compounds mentioned in 13-19. Among other reagents used for this conversion have been N2O4 and nitro-syl tetrafluoroborate (NOBF4). ...
