O - hydroxylamines

A-Formyl-Wang-O-hydroxylamine 222 resin was prepared by treating Wang-O-hydroxylamine resin 221 with p-nitrophenyl formate and 10% pyridine in DMF at room temperature for 16 h (Scheme 95). 

The hydroxyquinoline (39-2) provides the starting material for a quinolone that incorporates a hydrazine function. Reaction of (39-2) with 2,4-dintrophenyl O-hydroxylamine ether (41-1) in the presence of potassium carbonate leads to a scission of the weak N-O hydroxylamine bond by the transient anion from the quinolone the excellent leaving character of 2,4-dinitrophenoxide adds the driving force for the overall reaction, resulting in alkylation on nitrogen to form the hydrazine (41-2). The primary amine is then converted to the formamide (41-3) by reaction with the mixed acetic-formic anhydride. Alkylation of that intermediate with methyl iodide followed by removal of the formamide affords the monomethylated derivative (41-4). Chlorine at the 7 position is then displaced by A-methylpiperazine and the product saponified. There is thus obtained amifloxacin (41-6) [48]. 

There are a number of important methods worthy of merit for the synthesis of phosphorylglycines. Thus, electrophilic amination of diethyl l-(ethoxycarbonyl)methylphosphonate proceeds in one simple operation via the sodium salt in THF or DME. A variety of aminating agents are used with variable yields, such as 0-mesitylenesulfonylhydroxylamine (39 7%), chloramine (23-84%), and diphenyl (O-hydroxylamine)phosphine oxide (60%). Diethyl 1-ethoxycarbonyl- or l-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)methylphosphonate may also be efficiently transformed into oxime or diazo derivatives and then converted to an amine by a further reduction step. The oximes are prepared from EtONO via the sodium diethyl l-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)methylphosphonate (17% or 36%), from NOCl and diethyl l-(ethoxycarbonyl)methylphosphonate in the presence of tEtOljMg, Al-Hg, or Al(O7-Pr)3, 8 from NOCl and diethyl l-(methoxycarbonyl)ethylphosphonate, ° or from NOCl/ROH and diethyl l-tchlorocarbonyl)mclhy I phosphonate. ... 

Reaction of monocyclic 1,2,3-triazines 1 with mesitylenesulfonyl-O-hydroxylamine led to the isolation of 2-amino-l, 2,3-triazinium salts 5 which could be deprotonated by base to the 1,2,3-tri-azin-2-imines 6.246,247 The imino compounds could be acylated yielding either (acylimino)-1,2,3-triazines 6a or the dimers 7. 

B) Preparation of the Cuprous Solution, Add 85 ml. of concentrated ammonia solution (d, o-o88) to a solution of 50 g. of crystalline copper sulphate in 200 ml. of water, and cool to 10 . Dissolve 14 5 g. of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (or 17-4 g. of the sulphate) in 50 ml. of water, cool to 10 , and add a solution of 9 g. of sodium hydroxide in 30 ml. of water. Without delay add this hydroxylamine solution with stirring to the copper solution, which will be immediately reduced, but will retain a blue colour. 

Other Applications. Hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid [2950-43-8] h.2is many applications in the area of organic synthesis. The use of this material for organic transformations has been thoroughly reviewed (125,126). The preparation of the acid involves the reaction of hydroxjlamine [5470-11-1] with oleum in the presence of ammonium sulfate [7783-20-2] (127). The acid has found appHcation in the preparation of hydra2ines from amines, aUphatic amines from activated methylene compounds, aromatic amines from activated aromatic compounds, amides from esters, and oximes. It is also an important reagent in reductive deamination and specialty nitrile production. 

Appropriate pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-ones with formyl groups in the 6-position have been oxiized to piromidic (68) and pipemidic (69) acids, or to intermediates for these, using moist silver oxide, chromium trioxide (potassium dichromate), potassium permanganate or, alternatively, sodium chlorite/hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid. 6-Acetyl groups have been similarly oxidized using sodium hypobromite in aqueous dioxane, whilst 2-acetyl groups give dimethylaminomethylene derivatives en route to 2-pyrazolylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines. 

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). 

Amination at an azole ring nitrogen is known for Af-unsubstituted azoles. Thus 4,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid gives approximately equal amounts of the 1- (104) and 2-amino derivatives (105) (74AHC(16)33). Pyrazole affords (106) and indazole gives comparable amounts of the 1- and 2-amino derivatives. 

The powerful aminating agents hydroxylamine O-sulfonic acid and O-mesitylenesulfonyl-hydroxylamine have been used to prepare compounds (270)-(274) (80JCR(M)0514,76CPB2267). 

N-Amination of indazole affords a mixture of 60% (271) and 40% (272), which compares with the 55 45 ratio obtained in methylation (Section 4.04.2.1.3(viii)). A camphopyrazole derivative (a mixture of tautomers 275 and 276) when treated with hydroxylamine O-sulfonic acid yields exclusively the (4S,7i )-4,7-methano-2-amino-7,8,8-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-indazole (277) (79YZ699). 

The reaction of hydroxylamine with 2-substituted chromones (392) where R = Me, Ph (76MI41601) or CO2H (79MI41600) gave exclusively 5-(o-hydroxyphenyl)isoxazoles (393). 

The treatment of 2-hydroxyacetophenone with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid in dilute aqueous base produced 3-methyl-1,2-benzisoxazole. The mechanism was reported to be a C(2)—C(3) ring closure via intermediate (560) (Scheme 171). Salicylaldehyde failed to cyclize with dilute base, but with 20% KOH and hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid the transformation to 1,2-benzisoxazole succeeded (76MI41600). Kemp and Woodward isolated an oxime sulfonate (561) from salicylaldehyde and hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid and the subsequent decomposition gave 1,2-benzisoxazole in 95% yield (65T3019). 

Controlled hydrogenation over Ni or the electrochemical reduction of o -nitrobenzo itriles produced 3-amino-2,l-benzisoxazoles either as the major product or by-product, depending in part on the reaction media and ratio of reactants (72BSF2365, 65CB1562). Reduction of o-nitrobenzonitrile gave either 3-amino-2,l-benzisoxazole or 2-aminobenzonitrile. The benzisoxazole is presumed to arise via an intermediate hydroxylamine. The electrochemical reduction of o-nitrobenzonitrile at acid pH produced the hydroxylamine as the primary product. Reduction at neutral pH gave the amino-2,1-benzisoxazole and the hydroxylamine (72BSF2365). 

The small tendency of oxaziridines to undergo hydrolytic C—O cleavage is underlined by the observation that oxaziridine (52) in a mixture of acid and 0-labeled water yields up to 50% labeled hydroxylamine. NH transfer to water successfully competes with hydrolysis (B-67MI50800). 

Trichloromethyloxaziridine (98) transfers its NH group to primary amines under the conditions of its formation from hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid. Thus the slow... 

Compound (253) is formed from benzaldehyde and methylhydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid in 35% yield. With ethyl-substituted chloramine or hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid yields do not exceed 10%, which is assumed to be due to steric hindrance and is foreseeable for both carbonyl addition and O —N bond formation. 

Two substituents on two N atoms increase the number of diaziridine structures as compared with oxaziridines, while some limitations as to the nature of substituents on N and C decrease it. Favored starting materials are formaldehyde, aliphatic aldehydes and ketones, together with ammonia and simple aliphatic amines. Aromatic amines do not react. Suitable aminating agents are chloramine, N-chloroalkylamines, hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid and their simple alkyl derivatives, but also oxaziridines unsubstituted at nitrogen. Combination of a carbonyl compound, an amine and an aminating agent leads to the standard procedures of diaziridine synthesis.
