Hydrazine, reaction with amides

Finally, this interconversion may also be done by photoassisted reaction with amide ion194,195 or by reaction with hydrazine followed by reduction with Raney nickel in water160,172. The reaction with amide ion may proceed via an aryne mechanism and thus cme-substitution may result this may be used to synthetic advantage (equation 23)196. 

Reactions with Amines and Amides. Hydroxybenzaldehydes undergo the normal reactions with aUphatic and aromatic primary amines to form imines and Schiff bases reaction with hydroxylamine gives an oxime, reaction with hydrazines gives hydrazones, and reactions with semicarbazide give semicarbazones. The reaction of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with hydroxylamine hydrochloride is a convenient method for the preparation of 4-cyanophenol (52,53). 

Triazole has been prepared by the oxidation of substituted 1,2,4-triazoles, by the treatment of urazole with phosphorus pentasulfide, by heating equimolar quantities of formyl-hydrazine and formamide, by removal of the amino function of 4-amino-l,2,4-triazole, by oxidation of l,2,4-triazole-3(5)-thiol with hydrogen peroxide, by decarboxylation of 1,2,4-triazole-3(5)-carboxylic acid, by heating hydrazine salts with form-amide,by rapidly distilling hydrazine hydrate mixed with two molar equivalents of formamide, i by heating N,N -diformyl-hydrazine with excess ammonia in an autoclave at 200° for 24 hours, and by the reaction of 1,3,5-triazine and hydrazine monohydrochloride. ... 

One of the reactions used in determining the sequence ot nucleotides in a strand of DNA is reaction with hydrazine. Propose a mechanism for the following reaction, which occurs by an initial conjugate addition followed by internal amide formation. 

The parent, unsubstituted isochromanone has been caused to react with a variety of aromatic amines to prepare Ar-substituted 1,4-dihydro-3(2.ff)-isoquinolones,4 and with amines to give amides.5 The 6,7-methylenedioxy-3-isochromanone was an intermediate in the synthesis of protopine and its allied alkaloids,6 and for the synthesis of the berberine ring system.7 The 6-methoxy analog was prepared as a potential intermediate in a camptothecin synthesis8 and 8-methoxy-4,5,6,7-tetramethyl-3-isochromanonc was an intermediate in the synthesis of sclerin.9 The compound herein described was the basis of a facile synthesis of ( l )-xylopmins,10 and its reaction with hydrazine has been reported.11... 

Hydrazides (RCONHNH2) are highly useful starting materials and intermediates in the synthesis of heterocyclic molecules.2 They can be synthesized by hydrazinolysis of amides, esters and thioesters.3 The reaction of hydrazine with acyl chlorides or anhydrides is also well known,4 but it is complicated by the formation of 1,2-diacylhydrazines, and often requires the use of anhydrous hydrazine which presents a high thermal hazard. Diacylation products predominate when hydrazine reacts with low molecular weight aliphatic acyl chlorides, which makes the reaction impractical for preparatory purposes.5... 

Figure 1.110 The reaction of SANH with an amine-containing molecule results in an amide bond derivative that terminates in a protected hydrazine group. Reaction with an aldehyde-containing molecule results in release of the acetone-protecting group and formation of a stable hydrazone bond.

Electrophilic substitution of the ring hydrogen atom in 1,3,4-oxadiazoles is uncommon. In contrast, several reactions of electrophiles with C-linked substituents of 1,3,4-oxadiazole have been reported. 2,5-Diaryl-l,3,4-oxadiazoles are bromi-nated and nitrated on aryl substituents. Oxidation of 2,5-ditolyl-l,3,4-oxadiazole afforded the corresponding dialdehydes or dicarboxylic acids. 2-Methyl-5-phenyl-l,3,4-oxadiazole treated with butyllithium and then with isoamyl nitrite yielded the oxime of 5-phenyl-l,3,4-oxadiazol-2-carbaldehyde. 2-Chloromethyl-5-phenyl-l,3,4-oxadiazole under the action of sulfur and methyl iodide followed by amines affords the respective thioamides. 2-Chloromethyl-5-methyl-l,3,4-oxadia-zole and triethyl phosphite gave a product, which underwent a Wittig reation with aromatic aldehydes to form alkenes. Alkyl l,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylates undergo typical reactions with ammonia, amines, and hydrazines to afford amides or hydrazides. It has been shown that 5-amino-l,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylic acids and their esters decarboxylate. 

Functionalization of Ni(MeCOCHCOMe)2 occurs in reactions with isocyanates, diethyl azodi-carboxylate and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, which proceed by formal insertion of the methine C—H unit into the substrate multiple bonds to form respectively amides and ester-substituted hydrazines and alkenes. Similar additions of acetylacetone to these electrophiles is catalyzed by nickel acetylacetonate.217,218... 

An alternative reagent equivalent for the amide anion synthon is the potassium salt of phthalimide which can only react with one molecular proportion of alkyl halide. The resulting JV-alkylphthalimide is then cleaved to the primary amine (the Gabriel synthesis). The preliminary preparation of potassium phthalimide (from a solution of phthalimide in absolute ethanol and potassium hydroxide in 75% ethanol) may be avoided in some cases by boiling phthalimide with the halide in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate. The cleavage of the JV-substituted phthalimide is best effected by reaction with hydrazine hydrate and then heating the reaction mixture with hydrochloric acid. The insoluble phthalylhydrazide is filtered off, leaving the amine hydrochloride in solution from which the amine may be liberated and isolated in the appropriate manner. 

The reaction of 5-aminopyrazole-4-carboxylates with amides affords pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines <79AP(312)703, 87MI 712-02). The synthesis of allopurinol (53) by reaction of ethyl ethoxymethyl-enecyanoacetate, hydrazine, and formamide probably proceeds via intermediacy of ethyl 5-amino-1 //-pyrazole-4-carboxylate which then condenses with formamide to yield intermediate (318) which readily cyclizes to allopurinol (53) <74NEP7507554>.
