Hydroxylamines O-alkyl

Two substituents on two N atoms increase the number of diaziridine structures as compared with oxaziridines, while some limitations as to the nature of substituents on N and C decrease it. Favored starting materials are formaldehyde, aliphatic aldehydes and ketones, together with ammonia and simple aliphatic amines. Aromatic amines do not react. Suitable aminating agents are chloramine, N-chloroalkylamines, hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid and their simple alkyl derivatives, but also oxaziridines unsubstituted at nitrogen. Combination of a carbonyl compound, an amine and an aminating agent leads to the standard procedures of diaziridine synthesis.

Organoboranes react with a mixture of aqueous NH3 and NaOCl to produce primary amines. It is likely that the actual reagent is chloramine NH2CI. Chloramine itself,hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid in diglyme, and trimethyl-silyl azide " also give the reaction. Since the boranes can be prepared by the hydroboration of alkenes (15-16), this is an indirect method for the addition of NH3 to a double bond with anti-Markovnikov orientation. Secondary amines can be prepared by the treatment of alkyl- or aryldichloroboranes or dialkylchlorobor-anes with alkyl or aryl azides. 

A broad range of compounds can be O-alkylated with carbene complexes, including primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols, phenols, enols, hemiaminals, hydroxylamines, carboxylic acids, dialkyl phosphates, etc. When either strongly acidic substrates [1214] and/or sensitive carbene precursors are used (e.g. aliphatic diazoalkanes [1215] or diazoketones) etherification can occur spontaneously without the need for any catalyst, or upon catalysis by Lewis acids [1216]. 

Polynitroarylenes containing a variety of leaving groups are very susceptible to nucleophilic displacement (Section 4.8), and so, treatment of such substrates with hydroxylamine or an alkoxyamine usually generates the corresponding arylhydroxylamine or its O-alkyl derivative. 

Hydroxylamines and alkylhydroxylamines possess high nucleophilicity and can react with a variety of primary and secondary alkylating agents. The reactivity of hydroxylamines in the majority of these reactions resembles that of primary and secondary amines. While hydroxylamine and Af-alkylhydroxylamines 1 are ambident nucleophiles, under neutral or weakly basic reaction conditions alkylation proceeds exclusively on nitrogen atom to give products of type 2 (equation 1). Deprotonation of the OH group of hydroxylamines results in O-alkylation products. 

Selective O-alkylation of hydroxylamines and their derivatives can be done through deprotonation of the OH group. O-Alkylation (equation 14) of iV-substituted hydrox-amic acid ° (e.g. 21) followed by hydrolysis of the resultant O-alkylation product 22 is the most commonly used approach. Since alkylation of Af-unsubstimted hydrox-amic acid results in a mixture of O- and A-alkylation products, the corresponding O-alkylhydroxylamines are better prepared through alkylation of Af-hydroxysuccinimide or Af-hydroxyphthalimide followed by hydrolysis. 

Changing the base to triethylamine improves the yield of benzoylhydroxamic acid (96a) up to 91% the purification required column chromatography. Independently of the substituent in both Af-acylbenzotriazole and hydroxylamine, the desired O-alkyl, N-alkyl and 0,A-dialkyl hydroxamic acids were obtained as sole products as a result of nucleophilic displacement of the benzotriazolyl moiety by the hydroxylamine nitrogen. 

O-Alkyl- and O-arylhydroxylamines and their A-substituted derivatives have been the most extensively used reagents for amination of C-nucleophiles (Table 1). O-Methyl hydroxylamine la is the most extensively used O-organylhydroxylamine-type reagent. 

Al-(Alkoxycarbonyl) 0-(arenesulfonyl)hydroxylamines [alkyl Af-(arenesulfonyloxy) carbamates] 3i-o can be easily obtained by sulfonylation of commercially available iV-(alkoxycarbonyl)hydroxylamines (alkyl V-hydroxy carbamates). Af-(Alkoxycarbonyl) hydroxylamines can be also prepared from hydroxylamine and alkyl chloroformate . ... 

Aryl alkyl amines gave hydroxylamine O-arylsulfonates when reacted with arylsul-fonyl peroxide. The products were later decomposed to azomethine and further hydrolysis results in the corresponding amine with one less carbon atom. Thus when p-methoxy-benzylamine was treated with p-nitrophenylsulfonyl peroxide at —78 °C in ethyl acetate, p-methoxybenzaldehyde and p-methoxyaniline were obtained46. Cyclic amines with p-nitrophenylsulfonyl peroxide were converted to the A-(p-nitrophenylsulfonyloxy)amine derivatives, which further rearranged to ring-expanded cyclic imines in good yields (equation 9)47. 

Hydroxylamines and hydrazines can be acylated on insoluble supports using the same type of acylating agent as is used for the acylation of amines [146-149]. Because of their higher nucleophilicity, hydroxylamines or hydrazines can be acylated more readily than amines, and unreactive acylating agents such as carboxylic esters can sometimes be successfully employed (Table 13.10). Polystyrene-bound O-alkyl hydroxamic acids can be N-alkylated by treatment with reactive alkyl halides and bases such as DBU (Entry 5, Table 13.10). 

By reaction at sulfur. 1,4-Dithiins react readily at sulfur with peracids, alkyl halides, and hydroxylamine O-sulfonic acid to give sulfoxides, thiinium salts, and sulfilimines, respectively. Similar reactions are known for 1,4-benzodithiins. 

It is well-known that organoboranes can be utilized to yield primary amines by treating them with chloramine or hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid Recently Kabalka et al. reported a convenient synthesis of primary alkyl amines via the reaction of organoboranes with ammonium hydroxide in the presence of sodium hypochlorite (Eq. 13) The reaction presumably proceeds through the in situ formation of chloramine.
