Hydroxyl group reactions amine

Reaction of hydroxyl groups with amine units with formation of imino groups ... 

Over the last decade, a considerable number of reactions has been studied (11,35) (i) olefins oxidation (38,39), hydroboration, and halogenation (40) (ii) amines silylation (41,42), amidation (43), and imine formation (44) (iii) hydroxyl groups reaction with anhydrides (45), isocyanates (46), epichloro-hydrin and chlorosilanes (47) (iv) carboxylic acids formation of acid chlorides (48), mixed anhydrides (49) and activated esters (50) (v) carboxylic esters reduction and hydrolysis (51) (vi) aldehydes imine formation (52) (vii) epoxides reactions with amines (55), glycols (54) and carboxyl-terminated polymers (55). A list of all the major classes of reactions on SAMs plus relevant examples are discussed comprehensively elsewhere (//). The following sections will provide a more detailed look at reactions with some of the common functional SAMs, i.e hydroxyl and carboxyl terminated SAMs. 

Consider the alteration of the surface tension of the polymerizing POPT—TDI system with the addition of an RS substance such as L-19 the use of L-19 displays a number of features. Interaction of the TDI isocyanate groups with the L-19 amine groups occurs at a higher rate than reaction with the POPT hydroxyl groups. The amine groups of L-19 and of the product of the reaction with TDI are capable of catalyzing the reaction between TDI and POPT. 

Condensation reactions between hydroxyl groups or amines with carboxylic acids or derivatives are frequently applied to the synthesis of polymers to yield polyesters and polyamides, respectively. These reactions can also be used for the preparation of hydrogels (Tomida et al., 1997 Santoro et al., 2011). 

A variety of terminal functional groups and their chemical transformations on SAMs have been examined for example, (i) olefins—oxidation [23,24,131,132], hydroboration, and halogenation [23,24] (ii) amines—silyla-tion [145,146], coupling with carboxylic acids [22,146], and condensation with aldehydes [22,147] (iii) hydroxyl groups—reactions with anhydrides [148,149], isocyanates [150], epichlorohydrin [151], and chlorosilanes [152] (iv) carboxylic acids—formation of acyl chlorides [153], mixed anhydrides [154], and activated esters [148,155] (v) carboxylic esters—reduction and hydrolysis [156] (vi) thiols and sulfides—oxidation to generate disulfides [157-159] and sulfoxides [160] and (vii) aldehydes—condensation with active amines [161], Nucleophilic... 

This process is based on the very high reactivity of the isocyanate group toward hydrogen present ia hydroxyl groups, amines, water, etc, so that the chain extension reaction can proceed to 90% yield or better. Thus when a linear polymer is formed by chain extension of a polyester or polyether of molecular weight 1000—3000, the final polyurethane may have a molecular weight of 100,000 or higher (see Urethane polymers). 

The use of silver (II) salts, particularly argentic picolinate, as reagents for hydroxyl oxidation has also been disclosed recently. The reaction may be run in acid, neutral or basic media in aqueous or polar organic solvents at room or slightly elevated temperatures. Primary alcohols may be oxidized to aldehydes or acids depending on the conditions used. Amines and trivalent phosphorous compounds are more sensitive to oxidation with this reagent than are hydroxyl groups. 

Treatment of a mixture of ortho anisidine and bis(2-hydroxy-ethyl) amine with hydrogen chloride affords the aryl-substituted piperazine, 171. (The first step in this reaction probably consists in conversion of at least one hydroxyl group to the chloride this then serves to alkylate the aromatic amine.) Alkyla-... 

The isocyanate group is more reactive than the epoxy group in that it will react at room temperature with water and hydroxyl groups as well as with amine groups. However, the latter reaction is too fast to be practicable so the standard two-pack coatings are based on isocyanate and polyhydroxyl prepolymers such as hydroxyl terminated polyesters or polyethers as in the last example given in the section on epoxy resins.
