Methylamine acetylation

Neither the oxide nor the amidine function are in fact required for activity. Treatment of the oxime, 7, with chloro-acetyl chloride in the presence of sodium hydroxide proceeds directly to the benzodiazepine ring system (14)(the hydroxyl ion presumably fulfills a role analogous to methylamine in the above rearrangement). Reduction of the N-oxide function of 14 leads to diazepam (15). ... 

The disaccharide derivative 0-(2,3,4,6-tetra-0-acetyl-/ -D-galactopy-ranosyl)-(l— 3)-0-(2-acetamido-6-0-benzoyl-2-deoxy-/ -D-glucopyran-osyl)-(l— 3)-N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-serine methylamide (192) was prepared by condensation of 3-0-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-6-0-benzoyl-/ -D-glucopyranosyl)-N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-serine methylamide (191) with tetra-O-acetyl-a-D-galactopyranosyl bromide147 (110) under the conditions of the Helferich-Wedemeyer procedure. Treatment of 192 with methylamine in methanol at 0° gave89 193. 

Synthesis ofLysergic Acid, By reacting N-benzoyl-3-(B-carboxyethyl)-dihydroindole (see JCS, 3158 (1931) for the preparation of this compound) with thionyl chloride, followed by aluminum chloride gives l-benzoyl-5-keto-l,2,2a,3,4,5-hexahydrobenzindole. This is then brominated to give the 4-bromo-derivative, which is converted to the ketol-ketone by reacting with methylamine acetone ethylene ketol. This is then hydrolized by acid to yield the diketone and treated with sodium methoxide to convert it to the tetracyclic ketone. Acetylate and reduce this ketone with sodium borohydride to get the alcohol, which is converted to the hydrochloride form, as usual. 

A one-pot procedure for the transformation of 6-thiopurine nucleosides to 6-aminopurines was developed using DMDO as the oxidant in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of various amines <1996T6759>. For example, 6-thio-9-(2, 3, 5 -tri-0-acetyl-/3-D-ribosyl)purine was readily converted to the 6-alkylamino derivatives (6-amino, 75% yield 6-methylamino, 55% yield). Similarly, A -6-acetyl-8-thio-9-(2, 3, 5 -tri-0-acetyl-/3-D-ribosyl)adenosine was converted to A -6-acetyl-8-methylamino-9-(2, 3, 5 -tri-0-acetyl-/3-D-ribosyl)adenosine (DMDO, methylamine, CH2CI2, 25 °C, 83% yield). Less nucleophilic 2-mercaptopurine derivatives did not undergo the displacement reaction, however, and only the products of dithiane formation and desulfurization were isolated. 

In the synthesis of fatty acids the acetyl irnits are condensed and then are reduced to form straight hydrocarbon chains. In the oxo-acid chain elongation mechanism, the acetyl unit is introduced but is later decarboxylated. Tlius, the chain is increased in length by one carbon atom at a time. These two mechanisms account for a great deal of the biosynthesis by chain extension. However, there are other variations. For example, glycine (a carboxylated methylamine), under the influence of pyridoxal phosphate and with accompanying decarboxylation, condenses with succinyl-CoA (Eq. 14-32) to extend the carbon chain and at the same time to introduce an amino group. Likewise, serine (a carboxylated ethanolamine) condenses with... 

The products obtained from the treatment of C-acetyl-N-(3-phenyl-4-R-5-pyrazolyl)methanehydrazonoyl halides 5a,b,d,l with triethylamine in benzene or ethanol are the pyrazolof 1,5-c]-1,2,4-triazoles 169a-d, respectively (77JHC227 80JHC209 92MI1). However, treatment of 5a with sodium acetate in ethanol yielded 6-chloro-7-methyl-2-phenylpyra-zolo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazine 170. Solvolysis of 170 in aqueous sodium hydroxide gave 171. Attempted cyclization of 5a with methylamine or hydrazine hydrate in methanol gave 171 directly (77JHC227). 

The compound of Micheel and Micheel was obtained in small amount after treatment of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-a-D-mannosyl bromide with tri-methylamine the bulk of the material remained unchanged. The product apparently resulted from hydrolysis by moisture from the air. The composition was established by analyses, but the identification was reported with a question mark. A 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-mannose with different physical constants (m.p. 93°, [c ]d +26.3°) was obtained by Levene and Tipson63b by the deliberate addition of water and silver carbonate to tetra-O-acetyl-D-mannopyranosyl bromide its structure was confirmed by conversion to the known pentaacetates. If Micheel and Micheel were correct in their identification, the two acetates could be anomers. The acetylation and deacetylation reactions performed by Maurer and Bohme are additional evidence in favor of this relationship. 

The irans-benzylidene derivative (188), obtained as the major product of condensation of 3-methylpiperazine 2,5-dione and benzaldehyde in the presence of acetic anhydride, undergoes photoisomerization to the cis isomer (191) on irradiation in methanol. Both isomers have been converted into tetrahydropyrazine imino ethers (189) and (192) by treatment with triethyloxonium fluoroborate. The trans compound reacts more slowly and gives a lower yield of imino ether and this is attributed to steric hindrance. Compounds 188 and 191 are de-acetylated on treatment with methanolic 2 N potassium hydroxide. The trans and cis isomers (187) and (190), so produced are converted into 3-benzyl-2,5-dihydroxy-6-methylpyrazine (144) when heated at 100° with sodium hydroxide.384 Treatment of the dichloroacetyl derivative of phenylalanine with methylamine gives l-methyl-3-benzylidenepiperazine 2,5-dione with the stereochemistry shown.384a... 

The incorporation of [2-14C]pyruvate and [l-14C]acetate into sugars 17 and 18 was investigated.27 Oxidation of the methyl glycosides of sugar 17 with periodate yielded acetaldehyde from the 1-hydroxyethyl branch. The acetaldehyde (2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazone was further oxidized by Kuhn-Roth oxidation to acetic acid, which was degraded by the Schmidt reaction to methylamine and carbon dioxide. Periodate oxidation of the methyl glycosides of sugar 18 produced acetic acid from the C-acetyl branch. The acetic acid was isolated, and purified as 1-acetamidonaphthalene. 

Some substituted 3-piperideines are accessible via the Mannich synthesis. Thus, refluxing a mixture of formaldehyde, acetone, and the hydrochloride of the Mannich base previously prepared from formaldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, and methylamine hydrochloride affords l,5,5-trimethyl-3-acetyl-3-piperideine (34).27...
