5-Nitroanilines 2-substituted

Phase-matched second harmonic generation in single crystal polymers was first observed in 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline substituted diacetylene polymers. Subsequently, a number of other diacetylene structures... 

Benzenesulphonyl chloride reacts with primary and secondary, but not with tertiary, amines to yield substituted sulphonamides (for full discussion, see Section IV,100,3). The substituted sulphonamide formed from a primary amine dissolves in the alkaline medium, whilst that produced from a secondary amine is insoluble in alkali tertiary amines do not react. Upon acidifying the solution produced with a primary amine, the substituted sulphonamide is precipitated. The reactions form the basis of the Hinsberg procedure for the separation of amines see Section IV,100,(viii) for details. Feebly basic amines, such as o-nitroaniline, react slowly in the presence of allcali in such cases it is best to carry out the reaction in pyridine solution see Section IV,100,3. ... 

Amino-5-methylthiazole does not react with diazotized p-nitroaniline in solutions acidified with acetic or hydrochloric acid (391). 2-Amino-4,5-dimethylthiazole with the diazonium salts of para-substituted anilines, however, gives product 193, involving reactivity of the exocyclic nitrogen (Scheme 122) (399). 

After the addition of the last of the /)-nitroaniline, the stream of phosgene is continued for five minutes and then shut off. The flame under the flask is then turned up and the ethyl acetate distilled. Care must be taken at the end not to overheat the residue. The brown residue (Note 5) is treated with 800 cc. of hot dry carbon tetrachloride, and the insoluble residue (the di-substituted urea) is removed by filtration. 

General Conditions for each step and selectivity of m-substituted anilines As previously mentioned, Hauser and Reynolds reported on factors governing the first step of the Conrad-Limpach reaction but they tvere by no means exhaustive. Other than the conditions reported above for the first step, HClAleOH, CHCI3 or CHCI2 (neat or with acid catalyst), PhMe or PhH with removal of water with or without acid catalyst, or EtOH/AcOH/CaS04 were reported to provide the desired enamino-ester from an aryl amine and 3-keto-ester. Hauser and Reynolds also noted that o-nitroaniline and o-nitro-p-methoxyaniline failed to form the desired enamino-ester under conditions which they reported. 

The same methodology was also used starting from the ethyl 6-amino-7-chloro-l-ethyl-4-oxo-l,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate, prepared by reduction of the nitro derivative. The requisite nitro derivative was prepared by nitration of ethyl 7-chloro-l-ethyl-4-oxo-l,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate. A second isomer was prepared from 4-chloro-3-nitroaniline by reaction with diethyl ethoxymethylene-malonate, subsequent thermal cyclization, and further ethylation because of low solubility of the formed quinolone. After separation and reduction, the ethyl 7-amino-6-chloro-l-ethyl-4-oxo-l,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate 32 was obtained. The ort/io-chloroaminoquinolones 32,33 were cyclized to the corresponding 2-substituted thiazoloquinolines 34 and 35, and the latter were derivatized (Scheme 19) (74JAP(K)4, 79CPB1). 

Deutsch and Hansch applied this principle to the sweet taste of the 2-substituted 5-nitroanilines. Using the data available (see Table VII), the calculated regression Eqs. 5-7 (using the method of least squares) optimally expressed the relationship between relative sweetness (RS), the Hammett constant, cr, and the hydrophobic-bonding constant, ir. 

Further studies of the 2-substituted 5-nitroanilines, conducted by Kier and coworkers, searched for a linear combination of structural variables that describes a line, plane, or surface that separates the molecule classes in the optimum manner. They found that sweetness correlated very well with the substituent polarizability-constants for the 2-substituent, implicating the involvement of the 2-substituents in dispersive-binding interactions at the receptor. This is in agreement with the results of Hansch " and McFarland. The correlation equation was not, however, reported. 

The binding specificity of d-[ C]glucose by the taste-papillae membranes, compared to that of control membranes isolated from epithelial tissue, has been confirmed in two studies. One inherent problem in the approach is that the stimuli, primarily carbohydrate sweeteners, are not ideal model compounds to use, as they are not active at low concentrations and do not show sufficiently high binding-constants. The use of other stimulus compounds that are at least several hundred times sweeter than sucrose, such as saccharin, dihydrochalcone sweeteners, dipeptide sweeteners, stevioside, perillartine and other sweet oximes, the 2-substituted 5-nitroanilines, and... 

When o-Nitroaniline is treated by sodium nitrite in acid medium and then by an inorganic sulphide, it forms an explosive diazonium sulphide. Note that even though the presence of a nitrated group does not help, it certainly is not a factor that is vital to cause the explosion, since this is a property that is common to all these diazonium salts whatever the nature of the substitution on the ring. The situation is exactly the same with p-nitroaniline. 

A fused heterocyclic compound (146) distantly related to the antiinflammatory agent cintazone (Chapter 12), which itself can be viewed as a cyclized derivative of phenylbutazone, retains the activity of the prototype, in the synthesis of 146, reaction of the nitroaniline 139 with phosgene gives intermediate 140, which is then reacted with ammonia to afford the substituted urea (141). Cyclization of the ortho nitrourea function by means of sodium hydroxide leads to the N-oxide (142) this last reaction represents... 

The extra base-weakening effect, when the substituent is in the o-position, is due in part to the short distance over which its inductive effect is operating, and also to direct interaction, both steric and by hydrogen bonding, with the NH2 group (cf. the case of o-substituted benzoic acids, p. 63). o-Nitroaniline is such a weak base that its salts... 

Of a series of substituted anilinium perchlorate salts, that of 4-nitroaniline showed the lowest thermal stability (DTA peak temperature 201°C) and highest shock-sensitivity. 

Following these early solid-state investigations, 1,907 nm EFISHG studies by Tam and co-workers on several complexes [W(CO)5L] (L = py or a 4-substituted py) quote (3 values similar to that of 4-nitroaniline (ca. 10 x 10-30 esu) and sensitive to the nature of the pyridyl substituent.67-69 These results were quickly followed by ZINDO/SCI-SOS calculations on the same series of complexes by Kanis et al.70 the first time that MO theory had been used to describe the quadratic NLO responses of metal complexes. The results of these calculations agree reasonably well with the EFISHG data, and indicate that the modest (3 responses can be traced to relatively small Ap12 values.70 Lacroix et al. obtained low 1,064 nm SHG activities by corona poling films of poly (4-vinylpyridine) and of two other related polymers functionalized with W(CO)5 centers.71... 

A similar approach, synthesis of a selectively substituted benzotriazole from the corresponding ortfe-nitroaniline, is depicted in Scheme 212. The process starts from a microwave-assisted substitution of the fluorine atom in 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzonitrile 1270 by isopropylamine to give ortfo-nitroaniline 1271 in 99% yield. Reduction of the nitro group provides ortfo-phenylenediamine 1272 that is directly converted to 5-cyano-l-isopropylbenzotriazole 1273, which is isolated in 83% yield <2006JME1227>. 

A series of /> ra-substituted ort o-nitroanilines 1274 is converted in this way to benzotriazolyl derivatives 1277, which are of interest as potassium channel activators. In the first step, nitroanilines 1274 are treated with salicylyl chloride to provide salicylamides 1275 in 70-95% yield. The nitro group is catalytically reduced, and the obtained intermediates 1276 are subjected to a reaction with nitrous acid, generated in situ from NaN02, to afford 5-substituted T(2-hydroxybenzoyl)-17/-benzotriazoles 1277 in 52-96% yield (Scheme 213) <2001FA827>. 

The oxidative ring-closure method is well known. Halo-substituted benzofurazans are obtained by reaction of aqueous sodium hypochlorite with potassium salts of the corresponding 2-nitroanilines (Equation 79) <2001SC2329, 2002BML233, 2003HCA1175, 2003JFC(121)171, 20030PD436>.
