Hydroxylamine esters

Polymer-bound 1-hydroxybenzotriazole 1008 reacts with carboxylic acids in the presence of 1,3-diisopropylcarbo-diimide (1,3-DIC) and DMAP to produce esters 1009. Treated with hydroxylamine, esters 1009 are converted to hydroxamic acids 1010 (Scheme 167) <20030BC850>. Starting 1-hydroxybenzotriazole 1008 is recycled in the process and can be used for other syntheses. This method is well suited for automated synthesis of a library of hydroxamic acids. In similar applications of polymer-supported 1-hydroxybenzotriazole 1008, a wide variety of amides is synthesized <1997JOC2594, 2002JC0576>. 

Figure 13.26. Nitrenium ions through heterolysis of A-hydroxylamine esters.

Davidse et al. " described the photolysis of A-chloroamine and hydroxylamine esters (55) to form nitrenium ions by heterolysis (Fig. 13.33). As noted above, these reactants also yield nitrenium ions through thermal chemistry, albeit more slowly. 

Boche and co-worker ° carried out detailed studies of the decomposition reactions of various A -hydroxylamine esters in the presence of DNA and deoxygua-nosine, and characterized the adducts that resulted from these reactions. Thus, the nitrenium ion derived from 0-acetyl-N-(2-aminofluorene) added to DNA to give an adduct joining the C8 position of the base with the nitrenium ion nitrogen. Similar experiments carried out with the precursor of 2-naphthylnitrenium ion gave N2-ortho 148 and C8-N adducts 149 as shown in Figure 13.72. ...

Azine approach. Cyclocondensation of the hydroxylamine ester (610) yields the corresponding fused phthalazine (72BRP1285333).

As an alternative to organic peroxides, carbon-carbon (CC) initiators, for example, dimethyl diphenylbutane, hydroxylamine esters [51], or unsymmetric azo compounds [47] can be used for crosslinking reactions especially at higher processing temperatures.

On being heated with hydroxylamine, esters are converted to the corresponding hydroxamic acids. 

Both copper- and silver-catalyzed three-component reactions between an aldehyde, terminal alkyne, and secondary amine have been used to generate propargylamines [17, 18] The copper-catalyzed hydroamination between hydroxylamine esters and unactivated aUcenes generates amines with the desired regiochemistry for a wide range of diverse substrates [20]... 

As esters are usually difficult to detect, this test is of considerable value. In general esters react when heated with hydroxylamine to give a hydroxamic acid (I). The latter gives a coloured complex (II) with ferric salts in acid solution. 

To a few drops of the ester, add 0 2 g. of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and about 5 ml. of 10% NaOH solution and gently boil the mixture for 1-2 minutes. Cool and acidify with HCl, cool again and then add a few drops of FeClj solution. A violet or deep red-brown colour develops immediately. 

L. Treat with hydroxylamine and ferric chloride (pp. 334, 353). Violet or red colorations given particularly by esters. Deep colorations also given by acid chlorides, acid anhydrides and by some acid amides (usually aliphatic) and by a few of the simpler anilides. 

Esters react witli hydroxylamine to form an alcohol and a hydroxamic acid, RCONHOH. All hydroxamic acids, in acid solutions, react with ferric chloride to form coloured (usually violet) complex salts ... 

Lactones, which may be regarded as cyclic or inner esters, react similarly. Anhydrides of carboxylic acids also react with hydroxylamine to form hydroxamic acids ... 

Other Applications. Hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid [2950-43-8] h.2is many applications in the area of organic synthesis. The use of this material for organic transformations has been thoroughly reviewed (125,126). The preparation of the acid involves the reaction of hydroxjlamine [5470-11-1] with oleum in the presence of ammonium sulfate [7783-20-2] (127). The acid has found appHcation in the preparation of hydra2ines from amines, aUphatic amines from activated methylene compounds, aromatic amines from activated aromatic compounds, amides from esters, and oximes. It is also an important reagent in reductive deamination and specialty nitrile production. 

The following reaction sequence provides a regiospecific route to 3,4-disubstituted 5-isoxazolones (328) (73ACS2802). The /3-ketoesters (325) were heated under reflux with benzylamine in benzene in the presence of molecular sieves (3 A) to give the )3 -benzylamino-a,)3-unsaturated esters (326). The latter reacted first with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in... 

Diethyl 4-hydroxyisoxazole-3,5-dicarboxylate (334) was prepared by the reaction of acetonedicarboxylic acid ester with nitrosyl chloride (78JHC1519). Other 4-hydroxyisoxazoles have been prepared by the reaction of 2-hydroxy (or acetoxy)-1,3-diketones with hydroxylamine (34JA2190, 62HC(i7)i, p. 149), and by hydrolysis of 4-isoxazolediazonium salts (62HC(17)1, p. 149). The parent 4-hydroxyisoxazole has not yet been reported. 

Generalized methods of preparation include the reaction of /3-keto esters (or amides) with hydroxylamine, a-alkynic and a,/3-unsaturated esters (or amides) with hydroxylamine (real or generated in situ), hydroxylamine and nitrile oxides, and /3-keto and a-alkynic nitriles with hydroxylamine (62HC(l7)l, pp. 3,7). 

In a number of cases the intermediate oxime has been isolated in the reaction of hydroxylamine and /3-keto esters. The reaction of ethyl acetoacetate with hydroxylamine generated an oxime which cyclized on base treatment (Scheme 144) (70MI41600). Likewise, treatment of an analogous amide with hydroxylamine generated a ring opened material which cyclized on treatment with HCl (Scheme 144) (67T831). The presence of a minor contaminant in the standard reaction of ethyl acetoacetate with hydroxylamine was discovered and identified as an isomeric isoxazolin-3-one. The mechanism of product formation has been discussed (70BSF2685). 

Earlier reported syntheses have been shown to give isoxazolin-5-ones. Other isoxazolin-3-ones have been prepared by the reaction of methylacetoacetic esters and hydroxylamine. An additional synthesis was reported by the action at 0°C of hydroxylamine on ethyl -benzoylpropionate to produce an insoluble hydroxamic acid which cyclized on acid treatment. The hydroxamic acid acetal was similarly transformed into the isoxazolin-3-one (Scheme 149) (71BSF3664, 70BSF1978). 

The first in this series to be reported was 4-oxoisoxazoline-3,5-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester, which was formed by the reaction of nitrous acid on diethyl acetonedicarboxylate in 1891. Quilico described a number of syntheses in his 1962 review and the most general include the reaction of hydroxylamine and a-hydroxy-(or acetoxy)- 3-diketones and the conversion of 4-isoxazolediazonium salts to the hydroxy moiety (62HC(17)1, p. 3). Additional syntheses reported were the oxygenation of a 4-boric acid derivative (67JOM(9)l9) and peroxide oxidation of a 4-nitro-2-isoxazoline (Scheme 151) (79ZOR2436).
