Methanolic sodium

The iodination reaction can also be conducted with iodine monochloride in the presence of sodium acetate (240) or iodine in the presence of water or methanolic sodium acetate (241). Under these mild conditions functionalized alkenes can be transformed into the corresponding iodides. AppHcation of B-alkyl-9-BBN derivatives in the chlorination and dark bromination reactions allows better utilization of alkyl groups (235,242). An indirect stereoselective procedure for the conversion of alkynes into (H)-1-ha1o-1-alkenes is based on the mercuration reaction of boronic acids followed by in situ bromination or iodination of the intermediate mercuric salts (243). 

Treatment of quinoline with cyanogen bromide, the von Braun reaction (17), in methanol with sodium bicarbonate produces a high yield of l-cyano-2-methoxy-l,2-dihydroquinoline [880-95-5] (5) (18). Compound (5) is quantitatively converted to 3-bromoquinoline [5332-24-1], through the intermediate (6) [66438-70-8]. These conversions are accompHshed by sequential treatment with bromine in methanol, sodium carbonate, or concentrated hydrochloric acid in methanol. Similar conditions provide high yields of 3-bromomethylquinoHnes. 

Synthetic chemical approaches to the preparation of carbon-14 labeled materials iavolve a number of basic building blocks prepared from barium [ CJ-carbonate (2). These are carbon [ C]-dioxide [ CJ-acetjlene [U— C]-ben2ene, where U = uniformly labeled [1- and 2- C]-sodium acetate, [ C]-methyl iodide, [ C]-methanol, sodium [ C]-cyanide, and [ CJ-urea. Many compHcated radiotracers are synthesized from these materials. Some examples are [l- C]-8,ll,14-eicosatrienoic acid [3435-80-1] inoxn. [ CJ-carbon dioxide, [ting-U— C]-phenyhsothiocyanate [77590-93-3] ftom [ " CJ-acetjlene, [7- " C]-norepinephrine [18155-53-8] from [l- " C]-acetic acid, [4- " C]-cholesterol [1976-77-8] from [ " CJ-methyl iodide, [l- " C]-glucose [4005-41-8] from sodium [ " C]-cyanide, and [2- " C]-uracil [626-07-3] [27017-27-2] from [ " C]-urea. All syntheses of the basic radioactive building blocks have been described (4). 

The side-chain chlorine contents of benzyl chloride, benzal chloride, and benzotrichlorides are determined by hydrolysis with methanolic sodium hydroxide followed by titration with silver nitrate. Total chlorine determination, including ring chlorine, is made by standard combustion methods (55). Several procedures for the gas chromatographic analysis of chlorotoluene mixtures have been described (56,57). Proton and nuclear magnetic resonance shifts, characteristic iafrared absorption bands, and principal mass spectral peaks have been summarized including sources of reference spectra (58). Procedures for measuring trace benzyl chloride ia air (59) and ia water (60) have been described. 

The primary synthesis of alkoxypyrimidines is exemplified in the condensation of dimethyl malonate with O-methylurea in methanolic sodium methoxide at room temperature to give the 2-methoxypyrimidine (854) (64M207) in the condensation of diethyl phenoxymalonate with formamidine in ethanolic sodium methoxide to give the 5-phenoxypyrimidine (855) (64ZOB1321) and in the condensation of butyl 2,4-dimethoxyacetoacetate with thiourea to give 5-methoxy-6-methoxymethyl-2-thiouracil (856) (58JA1664).

Isatin (190) is a compound with interesting chemistry. It can be iV-acetylated with acetic anhydride, iV-methylated via its sodium or potassium salt and O-methylated via its silver salt. Oxidation of isatins with hydrogen peroxide in methanolic sodium methoxide yields methyl anthranilates (81AG(E)882>. In moist air, O-methylisatin (191) forms methylisatoid (192). Isatin forms normal carbonyl derivatives (193) with ketonic reagents such as hydroxylamine and phenylhydrazine and the reactive 3-carbonyl group also undergoes aldol condensation with active methylene compounds. Isatin forms a complex derivative, isamic acid (194), with ammonia (76JCS(P1)2004).

Estrone methyl ether (100 g, 0.35 mole) is mixed with 100 ml of absolute ethanol, 100 ml of benzene and 200 ml of triethyl orthoformate. Concentrated sulfuric acid (1.55 ml) is added and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The mixture is then made alkaline by the addition of excess tetra-methylguanidine (ca. 4 ml) and the organic solvents are removed. The residue is dissolved in heptane and the solution is filtered through Celite to prevent emulsions in the following extraction. The solution is then washed threetimes with 500 ml of 10 % sodium hydroxide solution in methanol to remove excess triethyl orthoformate, which would interfere with the Birch reduction solvent system. The heptane solution is dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent is removed. The residue is satisfactory for the Birch reduction step. Infrared analysis shows that the material contains 1.3-1.5% of estrone methyl ether. The pure ketal may be obtained by crystallization from anhydrous ethanol, mp 99-100°. Acidification of the methanolic sodium hydroxide washes affords 10-12 g of recovered estrone methyl ether.

Mono-substitution occurs most readily in the stepwise replacement of the halogen substituents of 2,4,6-trichloro-s-triazine with aqueous methanol and sodium bicarbonate (30°, 30 min), the monomethoxy derivative (324) is obtained on heating (65°, 30 min), the disubstitu-ted derivative is formed and on brief heating (65°) with the more basic sodium carbonate or methanolic sodium hydroxide (25°, 3 hr) complete methoxylation (320) occurs. Ethanolic ethoxide (25°, 1 hr) or sodium carbonate (35°) is sufficient to give complete ethoxy-dechlorination. The corresponding phenoxy derivatives are obtained on treatment with one (0°), two (15°, 1 hr), or three equivalents (25-70°, 3 hr) of various sodium phenoxides in aqueous acetone. The stepwise reaction with phenols, alcohols, or thiols proceeds in better yield in organic solvents (acetone or chloroform) with collidine or 2,6-lutidine as acid acceptors than in aqueous sodium bicarbonate. ...
