Another synthesis of Lyral (51) consists of the reaction of myrcene with acrolein to give the myrac aldehyde [37677-14-8] (52). The aldehyde group, which is sensitive to acid hydration conditions with strong acids, has to be protected by formation of the morpholine enamine. The enamine is then hydrolyzed on workup after the acid-catalyzed hydration to produce Lyral (93—95). 

Chloral forms well-crystallized adducts (126) with diaziridines containing at least one NH group (B-67MI50800). Carbonyl addition products to formaldehyde or cyclohexanone were also described. Mixtures of aldehydes and ammonia react with unsubstituted diaziridines with formation of a triazolidine ring (128). Fused diaziridines like (128) are always obtained in ring synthesis of diaziridines (127) from aldehyde, ammonia and chloramine. The existence of three stereoisomers of compounds (128) was demonstrated (76JOC3221). Diaziridines form Mannich bases with morpholine and formaldehyde (64JMC626), e.g. (129).

That the methyl group in the less substituted isomer of the enamine (20) is axial was borne out by the work of Johnson et al. (18) in the total synthesis of the glutarimide antibiotic //-dehydrocycloheximide (24). The acylation of the morpholine enamine of 2,4-dimethylcyclohexanone (25) with 3-glutarimidylacetylchloride (26), followed by the hydrolysis of the intermediate product (27) with an acid buffer, led to the desired product in 35 % yield. The formation of the product in a rather low yield could most probably be ascribed to the relatively low enamine-type aetivity exhibited by the tetrasubstituted isomer, which fails to undergo the acylation reaction, and also because in trisubstituted isomer one of the CHj groups is axial. Since the methyl groups in the product are trans to each other, the allylic methyl group in the less substituted isomer of the enamine should then be in the axial orientation. 

The synthesis of a large number of y-pyrones and y-pyranols from enamines has been brought about through the use of a wide variety of bifunctional molecules. These molecules include phenolic aldehydes (126,127), phenolic Mannich bases (128), ketal esters (129), and diketene (120-132). All of these molecules have an electrophilic carbonyl group and a nucleophilic oxygen center in relative 1,4 positions. This is illustrated by the reaction between salicylaldehyde (101) and the morpholine enamine of cyclohexanone to give pyranol 102 in a quantitative yield (127). 

The reactions of dichlorocarbene with morpholine and piperidine enamines derived from cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone have been reported to lead to ring expanded and a-chloromethylene ketone products (355,356). Similarly a-chloro-a, -unsaturated aldehydes were obtained from aldehyde derived enamines (357). Synthesis of aminocyclopropanes (353,359) could be realized by the addition of diphenyldiazomethane (360) and the methylene iodide-zinc reagent to enamines (367). 

Morpholine has been used for 5 -phosphate protection in oligonucleotide synthesis and can be cleaved with 0.01 N HCl without significant depurination of bases having free exocyclic amino functions. 

The two major methods used for the synthesis of cobalt(III) dithiocar-bamates are (a) treatment of a cobaltous salt with aqueous NaR2dtc in the presence of air, or (b) oxidation of a cobalt(II) salt with tetraalkyl-dithiuram disulfides. In recent years, a complex with morpholine-4-carbodithioate (Mdtc), [CofMdtcla], has been prepared and character-...

Synlett, 1997, 1414 for reaction with an amide derived from morpholine and Grignard reagents, whch gives the ketone in good yield. See Kashima, C. Kita, I. Takahashi, K. Hosomi, A. J. Heterocyclic Chem., 1995, 32, 25 for a related reaction. 

The asymmetric synthesis of 2,3-diamino acids can be accomplished by the addition of chiral enolates to prochiral imines. For example, reaction of morpholine-2-one 103, derived from (S)-phenylglycinol, with N-benzyl ben-zaldimine in the presence of pyridine and para-toluenesulfonic acid at high... 

On page T 54 we use disconnection (a) to devise a synthesis of morpholines e.g. 14), Since cyclisation is so easy, we might consider the alternative double C-N disconnection (b) and use the bis-chloro ether (15), made on page...

Morpholine also gives the allyhc amine in high yield. The reaction is thought to involve a known hydridopaUadium-catalyzed isomerization of alkynes to aUenes followed by reaction of the latter with the hydridopalladium complex to give 1-phenyl-substituted q -allylpalladium complexes. These complexes react with amines affording the allylic amines. Primary amines give the diallylic amines. An intramolecular version has been developed for the synthesis of 2-(2-phenyl)-pyrroUdines and -piperidines [319]. 

In the context of synthesis and exchange reactions of biodegradable drug-binding matrices, starch trisuccinic acid was loaded via imidazolides with amines such as n-butylamine, morpholine, 4-aminobenzoic acid, or 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine to prepare the respective amides in high yields [160] an example is presented below. 

Hydroxymethylation (formaldehyde) of nitro-imidazole 76 affords 77, which is oxidized to aldehyde 78. To prepare the other fragment for this convergent synthesis, reaction of epichlorohydrin with morpholine leads to the aminoepoxide 79, which is reacted with hydrazine to afford 80. Reaction of this substituted hydrazine with dimethyl carbonate affords oxazolinone 81 by sequential ester interchange reactions. Condensation of 81 with aldehyde 78 affords the antitricho-...

Y )- Benzyl morpholine is a potent appetite suppressant drug. The synthesis of 2-(/ )-benzyl-morpholine began with the reduction of the unsaturated bromocinnamaldehyde to the corresponding saturated (X)-bromo-alcohol by baker s yeast, with a very low ee of 63%. However, an efficient transformation can be achieved by controlling the substrate concentration with the addition of hydrophobic resin Amberlite XAD-1180 [26]. With a resin-to-substrate ratio of one and an initial substrate concentration of 5 gL, the saturated (X)-bromo-alcohol was recovered at nearly quantitative yield and 98.6% ee. 

The asymmetric synthesis of (4R,93, 9aR)-4-phenyl-l-trimethylsilyloxy-9-vinylperhydropyrido[2,T ][l,4]oxazine with a high level of stereoselectivity in the cyclization of (3R,5R)-5-phenyl-3-phenylsulfanyl-4-(6-trimethylsilanyl-hex-4-enyl)-2-trimethylsilyloxy-morpholine was rationalized via AMI calculations <1998T10309>. AMI calculations suggested that the formation of l,6-dioxo-l,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydropyrido[2,Tf][l,4]oxazine-9-carboxylates 230 from acroyl chlorides 228 and 1,4-oxazinone 229 is favored over the hetero-Diels-Alder condensation (Equation 45) <1996JOC5736>. 

Initially PDPs were synthesized by stepwise polycondensation of linear activated depsipeptide [93]. In 1985, Helder, Feijen and coworkers reported the synthesis of PDPs by ROP of a morpholine-2,5-dione derivative (cyclic dimer of ot-hydroxy- and a-amino acid cyclodepsipeptide, cDP) [94, 95]. The ROP method gives an alternative type of PDP by homopolymerization and also allows the copolymerization with other monomers (lactones and cyclic diesters) including LA, GA, and CL to give a wide variety of functional biodegradable materials. The synthesis of PDPs as functional biomaterials has been recently reviewed [17]. 

A solvent-free synthesis of substituted spiroindolinonaphth[2,l-fo][l,4]oxazines through condensation of 2-methylene-l,3,3-trimethylindoline derivatives with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol under microwave irradiation has been described by Fedorova and colleagues (Scheme 6.263) [453], In a typical reaction, an equimolar mixture of the two starting materials was irradiated at 65-110 °C for 15 min to produce the desired spiroindolinonaphth[2,l-fo][l,4]oxazines, which are useful as photochromic compounds. In a related procedure, addition of morpholine to the reaction mixture led to the formation of the corresponding 6 -amino-functionalized spiroindolino-naphth[2,l-fo][l,4]oxazines, which exhibit a strong hypsochromic color shift (not shown) [453]. 

This intramolecular etherification approach has successfully been applied to the syntheses136 of siccanin137 and clusifoliol,136 and a formal synthesis of morphine.138 Examples of tandem inter- and intramolecular etherification reactions have also been reported which convert catechol and o-aminophenol derivatives into benzodioxins (Equation (24)),139-141 benzodioxepines,142 and morpholines.139,140... 

Acyl nitroso compounds react with 1, 3-dienes as N-O heterodienophiles to produce cycloadducts, which have found use in the total synthesis of a number of nitrogen-containing natural products [21]. The cycloadducts of acyl nitroso compounds and 9,10-dimethylanthracene (4, Scheme 7.3) undergo thermal decomposition through retro-Diels-Alder reactions to produce acyl nitroso compounds under non-oxidative conditions and at relatively mild temperatures (40-100°C) [11-14]. Decomposition of these compounds provides a particularly clean method for the formation of acyl nitroso compounds. Photolysis or thermolysis of 3, 5-diphenyl-l, 2, 4-oxadiazole-4-oxide (5) generates the aromatic acyl nitroso compound (6) and ben-zonitrile (Scheme 7.3) [22, 23]. Other reactions that generate acyl nitroso compounds include the treatment of 5 with a nitrile oxide [24], the addition of N-methyl morpholine N-oxide to nitrile oxides and the decomposition of N, O-diacylated or alkylated N-hydroxyarylsulfonamides [25-29].
