There also exists an acidregioselective condensation of the aldol type, namely the Mannich reaction (B. Reichert, 1959 H. Hellmann, 1960 see also p. 291f.). The condensation of secondary amines with aldehydes yields Immonium salts, which react with ketones to give 3-amino ketones (=Mannich bases). Ketones with two enolizable CHj-groupings may form 1,5-diamino-3-pentanones, but monosubstitution products can always be obtained in high yield. Unsymmetrical ketones react preferentially at the most highly substituted carbon atom. Sterical hindrance can reverse this regioselectivity. Thermal elimination of amines leads to the a,)3-unsaturated ketone. Another efficient pathway to vinyl ketones starts with the addition of terminal alkynes to immonium salts. On mercury(ll) catalyzed hydration the product is converted to the Mannich base (H. Smith, 1964). 

Alkyl groups attached to aromatic rings are oxidized more readily than the ring in alkaline media. Complete oxidation to benzoic acids usually occurs with nonspecific oxidants such as KMnO, but activated tertiary carbon atoms can be oxidized to the corresponding alcohols (R. Stewart, 1965 D. Arndt, 1975). With mercury(ll) acetate, allyiic and benzylic oxidations are aJso possible. It is most widely used in the mild dehydrogenation of tertiary amines to give, enamines or heteroarenes (M. Shamma, 1970 H. Arzoumanian. 1971 A. Friedrich, 1975). 

Controlled-potential coulometry also can be applied to the quantitative analysis of organic compounds, although the number of applications is significantly less than that for inorganic analytes. One example is the six-electron reduction of a nitro group, -NO2, to a primary amine, -NH2, at a mercury electrode. Solutions of picric acid, for instance, can be analyzed by reducing to triaminophenol. 

Hydantoin itself can be detected ia small concentrations ia the presence of other NH-containing compounds by paper chromatography followed by detection with a mercury acetate—diphenylcarba2one spray reagent. A variety of analytical reactions has been developed for 5,5-disubstituted hydantoias, due to their medicinal iaterest. These reactions are best exemplified by reference to the assays used for 5,5-diphenylhydantoiQ (73—78), most of which are based on their cycHc ureide stmcture. Identity tests iaclude the foUowiag (/) the Zwikker reaction, consisting of the formation of a colored complex on treatment with cobalt(II) salts ia the presence of an amine (2) formation of colored copper complexes and (3) precipitation on addition of silver(I) species, due to formation of iasoluble salts at N. ... 

Acetoiicetyliition Reactions. The best known and commercially most important reaction of diketene is the aceto acetylation of nucleophiles to give derivatives of acetoacetic acid (Fig. 2) (1,5,6). A wide variety of substances with acidic hydrogens can be acetoacetylated. This includes alcohols, amines, phenols, thiols, carboxyHc acids, amides, ureas, thioureas, urethanes, and sulfonamides. Where more than one functional group is present, ring closure often follows aceto acetylation, giving access to a variety of heterocycHc compounds. These reactions often require catalysts in the form of tertiary amines, acids, and mercury salts. Acetoacetate esters and acetoacetamides are the most important industrial intermediates prepared from diketene. 

The biochemical basis for the toxicity of mercury and mercury compounds results from its ability to form covalent bonds readily with sulfur. Prior to reaction with sulfur, however, the mercury must be metabolized to the divalent cation. When the sulfur is in the form of a sulfhydryl (— SH) group, divalent mercury replaces the hydrogen atom to form mercaptides, X—Hg— SR and Hg(SR)2, where X is an electronegative radical and R is protein (36). Sulfhydryl compounds are called mercaptans because of their ability to capture mercury. Even in low concentrations divalent mercury is capable of inactivating sulfhydryl enzymes and thus causes interference with cellular metaboHsm and function (31—34). Mercury also combines with other ligands of physiological importance such as phosphoryl, carboxyl, amide, and amine groups. It is unclear whether these latter interactions contribute to its toxicity (31,36). 

Many mercury compounds are labile and easily decomposed by light, heat, and reducing agents. In the presence of organic compounds of weak reducing activity, such as amines (qv), aldehydes (qv), and ketones (qv), compounds of lower oxidation state and mercury metal are often formed. Only a few mercury compounds, eg, mercuric bromide/77< 5 7-/7, mercurous chloride, mercuric s A ide[1344-48-5] and mercurous iodide [15385-57-6] are volatile and capable of purification by sublimation. This innate lack of stabiUty in mercury compounds makes the recovery of mercury from various wastes that accumulate with the production of compounds of economic and commercial importance relatively easy (see Recycling). 

The covalent character of mercury compounds and the corresponding abiUty to complex with various organic compounds explains the unusually wide solubihty characteristics. Mercury compounds are soluble in alcohols, ethyl ether, benzene, and other organic solvents. Moreover, small amounts of chemicals such as amines, ammonia (qv), and ammonium acetate can have a profound solubilizing effect (see COORDINATION COMPOUNDS). The solubihty of mercury and a wide variety of mercury salts and complexes in water and aqueous electrolyte solutions has been well outlined (5). 

SuIfona.tlon, Sulfonation is a common reaction with dialkyl sulfates, either by slow decomposition on heating with the release of SO or by attack at the sulfur end of the O—S bond (63). Reaction products are usually the dimethyl ether, methanol, sulfonic acid, and methyl sulfonates, corresponding to both routes. Reactive aromatics are commonly those with higher reactivity to electrophilic substitution at temperatures > 100° C. Tn phenylamine, diphenylmethylamine, anisole, and diphenyl ether exhibit ring sulfonation at 150—160°C, 140°C, 155—160°C, and 180—190°C, respectively, but diphenyl ketone and benzyl methyl ether do not react up to 190°C. Diphenyl amine methylates and then sulfonates. Catalysis of sulfonation of anthraquinone by dimethyl sulfate occurs with thaHium(III) oxide or mercury(II) oxide at 170°C. Alkyl interchange also gives sulfation.

Knabe has introduced mercuric acetate plus ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as an oxidizing agent for tertiary amines (74). The solvent employed is 1 % aqueous acetic acid. In this system, the complexed mercuric ion is reduced to elemental mercury. Knabe s studies have centered on the... 

The bicyclic amine 11-methyl-l l-azabicyclo[5.3.1]hendecanc (71) provided a model system in which the hydrogens on the equivalent a-tertiary-carbon atoms cannot be trans to the nitrogen-mercury bond in the mercur-ated complex and in which epimerization at these a carbons is impossible (77). This bicyclic system is large enough to accommodate a... 

Seyferth et al. (//O) have also synthesized N,N-diethyl-trichlorovinyl-amine (128, R CjHj) from the reaction of triethylamine and phenyl-(trichloromethyl)mercury (138). The best yield was 23 %, obtained when a benzene solution of the amine (45 mM) was added to a refluxing solution of phenyl(trichloromethyl)mercury (10 mM) in benzene. Although no mechanistic study was attempted because of the low yields and the intractable nature of the reaction mixture, the authors proposed the following mechanistic sequence ... 

The most general method for synthesis of cyclic enamines is the oxidation of tertiary amines with mercuric acetate, which has been investigated primarily by Leonard 111-116) and applied in numerous examples of structural investigation and in syntheses of alkaloids 102,117-121). The requirement of a tram-coplanar arrangement of an a proton and mercury complexed on nitrogen, in the optimum transition state, confers valuable selectivity to the reaction. It may thus be used as a kinetic probe for stereochemistry as well as for the formation of specific enamine isomers. 

Mercury has a characteristic ability to form not only conventional ammine and amine complexes but also, by the displacement of hydrogen, direct covalent bonds to nitrogen, e.g. ... 

The benzene was distilled from the extract and the residue of d-N-methyl-N-benzyl-)3-phenyl-isopropylamine was distilled at reduced pressure. The thus obtained free base, distilling at 127°C at a pressure of 0.2 mm of mercury and having an np of 1.5515, was dissolved in ethyl acetate and a molar equivalent of ethanolic hydrogen chloride was added thereto. Anhydrous ether was added to the mixture and d-N-methyl-N-benzyl-)3-phenylisopropyl-amine hydrochloride precipitated from the reaction mixture as an oil which was crystallized from ethyl acetate to give crystals melting at 129° to 130°C. 

Only certain specific environments appear to produce stress corrosion of copper alloys, notably ammonia or ammonium compounds or related compounds such as amines. Mercury or solutions of mercury salts (which cause deposition of mercury) or other molten metals will also cause cracking, but the mechanism is undoubtedly differentCracks produced by mercury are always intercrystalline, but ammonia may produce cracks that are transcrystalline or intercrystalline, or a mixture of both, according to circumstances. As an illustration of this, Edmundsfound that mercury would not produce cracking in a stressed single crystal of brass, but ammonia did. 

Alternatively, hydration of the acetylenes in cold concentrated sulfuric acid, or with mercury(II) sulfate in formic acid, yields 1-aryl-3,4-dihydro-5//-2-benzazepin-5-ones which are isolated as their methylsulfonate salts.79 If, however, acetylene 4 is stirred with pyrrolidine at room temperature then cyclization is accompanied by amination to give 8-chloro-l-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-(pyrrolidin-l-yl)-3i/-2-benzazepine (5) in high yield. 

Irradiation of a benzene solution of 7-benzyl-2,5-diphenyl-3,4,7-triazanorcara-2,4-diene (15) with a high-pressure mercury lamp (Pyrex filter) results in a photochemical walk rearrangement to give 4-benzyl-3,7-diphenyl-477-l, 2,4-triazepine (16) in 53 % yield, accompanied by A-benzyl-3,6-diphenylpyridazin-4-amine (6%), 1-benzyl-2,3-diphenylpyrrole (1%) and...
