Nitrogen halides synthesis

In spite of the hazardous nature of Sc4N4, this binary selenium nitride has been used for the synthesis of other Se-N compounds, all of which have sulfur analogues (Scheme 5.2). " However, safer alternatives to the use of Sc4N4, e.g., selenium-nitrogen halides and silicon-nitrogen-selenium reagents, are available for the development of Se-N chemistry. ... 

Stoichiometric palladium-mediated cyclization was used in natural product synthesis by Boger a number of years ago, as was noted in the introduction. More recently, an intramolecular palladium-catalyzed amination of a heteroaromatic halide has been used as a step in the synthesis of an a-carboline natural product analog [146]. As discussed above, the diphenylhydrazone arylation can also be used for nitrogen heterocycle synthesis [140]. 

The cross-coupling reactions of hydrazines with aryl halides to give substituted hydrazines is very important from the point of view of nitrogen heterocyde synthesis (for example, indoles, indazoles, pyrazoles, and aryltriazoles, and before this report by Straddiotto s group [28a], there was no literature method for the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of hydrazine to aryl electrophiles. Hydrazines are difficult substrates because of their reducing power and the reactivity of the mono-arylated hydrazine product to further arylation. 

The benzoic acid derivative 457 is formed by the carbonylation of iodoben-zene in aqueous DMF (1 1) without using a phosphine ligand at room temperature and 1 atm[311]. As optimum conditions for the technical synthesis of the anthranilic acid derivative 458, it has been found that A-acetyl protection, which has a chelating effect, is important[312]. Phase-transfer catalysis is combined with the Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of halides[3l3]. Carbonylation of 1,1-dibromoalkenes in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst gives the gem-inal dicarboxylic acid 459. Use of a polar solvent is important[314]. Interestingly, addition of trimethylsilyl chloride (2 equiv.) increased yield of the lactone 460 remarkabiy[3l5]. Formate esters as a CO source and NaOR are used for the carbonylation of aryl iodides under a nitrogen atmosphere without using CO[316]. Chlorobenzene coordinated by Cr(CO)j is carbonylated with ethyl formate[3l7]. 

The similarity between the cryptands and the first of these molecules is obvious. Compound 7 7 is a urethane equivalent of [2.2.2]-cryptand. The synthesis of 7 7 was accomplished using a diacyl halide and l,10-diaza-18-crown-6 (shown in Eq. 8.13). Since amidic nitrogen inverts less rapidly than a tertiary amine nitrogen, Vogtle and his coworkers who prepared 7 7, analyzed the proton and carbon magnetic resonance spectra to discern differences in conformational preferences. Compound 7 7 was found to form a lithium perchlorate complex. 

A relative of the latter class of compounds are the macrotricyclic quaternary ammonium salts which have been reported by Schmidtchen. The bridges may contain either methylenes or ethyleneoxy units and the nitrogens are quaternarized. The underlying principle is to provide a cavity suitable for solvating or at least trapping anions. Schmidtchen presents evidence which suggests the formation of halide inclusion complexes. The synthesis of these molecules is accomplished along more or less traditional lines Such a species is illustrated above as compound 19. 

Reactions of ionic or covalent azides with chalcogen halides or, in the case of sulfur, with the elemental chalcogen provide an alternative route to certain chalcogen-nitrogen compounds. Eor example, the reaction of sodium azide with cyclo-Sa in hexamethylphosphoric triamide is a more convenient synthesis of S7NH than the S2CI2 reaction (Section 6.2.1). Moreover, the azide route can be used for the preparation of 50% N-enriched S7NH. 

The synthesis of a benzamide with a somewhat more complex side chain starts by condensation of acid 144 with racemic cis-aminopiperidine 152. Removal of the benzyl group of 153 by hydrogenolysis gives the secondary amine 154. Alkylation on nitrogen with the halide 155 gives finally the dopamine antagonist, cisapride (156) [38,39]. 

Since amine-phosphorus(III) halide condensation reactions are well-established low-energy routes to phosphorus-nitrogen bonds, they provide a logical starting point for examination of skeletally stabilized molecule synthesis. For our initial studies, reactants that are phenyl substituted as opposed to alkyl substituted... 

For the synthetic studies on the bicyclic 6-6 systems 1-3, with one ring junction nitrogen and five extra heteroatoms, refer to CHEC-II(1996) <1996CHEC-II(8)743>. In the studies of the newly available compounds, a one-pot procedure for the synthesis of [l,2,4]triazino-[4,3- ][l,2,4,5]tetrazine 4 derivatives is discussed below. Refluxing of hydrazonoyl halides 10 in chloroform (or ethanol) in the presence of triethylamine for 6h with either 4-amino-2,3-dihydro-6-substituted-3-thioxo-[l,2,4]triazin-5(4//)-ones 8 or 4-amino-3-methylthio-6-substituted-[l,2,4]-triazin-5(4//)-ones 9 yielded compounds 4 (Equation 1) <2000JPR342>.
