Primary amines addition

Recently, FTIR spectroscopy studies have been reported which support the above observations. Moacanin et al 3) concluded that two reactions dominate the TC3fDA/DDS cure epoxy-primary amine addition is the principal reaction occurring during the early stage of cure followed by the epoxy-hydroxyl addition reaction. Indeed they find that the rate of epoxy-hydroxyl addition is at least an order of magnitude slower than for the epoxy-primary amine reaction at 177 C. Furthermore, Morgan et al (4) report that the epoxysecondary amine addition and epoxy-epoxy homopolymerization reactions also occur at 177°C but at rates that are approximately 10 and 200 times slower, respectively, than the epoxy-primary amine react ion.

Catalytic monoinsertion of isocyanides into terminal alkynes proceed utilizing rare earth silylamides in the presence of aliphatic primary amine additives under mild conditions. Variously functionalized terminal alkynes could be converted to the corresponding l-aza-l,3-enynes in excellent yields owing to good compatibility of the silylamide catalyst (Scheme 19). Mechanistic investigation revealed... 

To overcome reactivity problems in the imine formation with enones, the counterion was changed from a secondary to a primary amine. Additionally, having a chiral amine in the catalytic species proved to be advantageous hence, amino acid derivatives were screened, among which valine tert-butyl ester showed the best outcome. Six- and seven-membered rings turned out to be the best substrates (yields >90%), whereas cyclopentanones showed only moderate yields (68-78%). The final conditions are depicted in Scheme 32.6. ...

Cool the solution thoroughly in ice-water, and then make it alkaline by the cautious addition (with stirring or shaking) of a solution of 80 g. of sodium hydroxide in ca, 150 ml. of water. Now isolate the free tertiary amine by steam-distillation into hydrochloric acid, etc., precisely as for the primary amine in Stage (D), but preferably using a smaller flask for the final distillation. Collect the 2-dimethylamino- -octane, b.p. 76-78715 mm. Yield, 13-14 g. At atmospheric pressure the amine has b.p. 187-188°. 

Method 2. Place a 3 0 g. sample of the mixture of amines in a flask, add 6g. (4-5 ml.) of benzenesulphonyl chloride (or 6 g. of p-toluenesulphonyl chloride) and 100 ml. of a 5 per cent, solution of sodium hydroxide. Stopper the flask and shake vigorously until the odour of the acid chloride has disappeared open the flask occasionally to release the pressure developed by the heat of the reaction. AUow the mixture to cool, and dissolve any insoluble material in 60-75 ml. of ether. If a solid insoluble in both the aqueous and ether layer appears at this point (it is probably the sparingly soluble salt of a primary amine, e.g., a long chain compound of the type CjH5(CH2) NHj), add 25 ml. of water and shake if it does not dissolve, filter it off. Separate the ether and aqueous layers. The ether layer will contain the unchanged tertiary amine and the sulphonamide of the secondary amine. Acidify the alkaline aqueous layer with dilute hydrochloric acid, filter off the sulphonamide of the primary amine, and recrystaUise it from dilute alcohol. Extract the ether layer with sufficient 5 per cent, hydrochloric acid to remove all the tertiary amine present. Evaporate the ether to obtain the sulphonamide of the secondary amine recrystaUise it from alcohol or dilute alcohol. FinaUy, render the hydrochloric acid extract alkaline by the addition of dilute sodium hydroxide solution, and isolate the tertiary amine. 

Reduction of a nitro compound to a primary amine. In a 50 ml. round-bottomed or conical flask fitted with a reflux condenser, place 1 g. of the nitro compound and 2 g. of granulated tin. Measure out 10 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and add it in three equal portions to the mixtiue shake thoroughly after each addition. When the vigorous reaction subsides, heat under reflux on a water bath until the nitro compound has completely reacted (20-30 minutes). Shake the reaction mixture from time to time if the nitro compound appears to be very insoluble, add 5 ml. of alcohol. Cool the reaction mixture, and add 20-40 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution imtil the precipitate of tin hydroxide dissolves. Extract the resulting amine from the cooled solution with ether, and remove the ether by distillation. Examine the residue with regard to its solubility in 5 per cent, hydrochloric acid and its reaction with acetyl chloride or benzene-sulphonyl chloride. 

A number of compounds of the general type H2NZ react with aldehydes and ketones m a manner analogous to that of primary amines The carbonyl group (C=0) IS converted to C=NZ and a molecule of water is formed Table 17 4 presents exam pies of some of these reactions The mechanism by which each proceeds is similar to the nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism described for the reaction of primary amines with aldehydes and ketones...

Primary amines form Schiff bases, (CH3 )2C=NR. Ammonia induces an aldol condensation followed by 1,4-addition of ammonia to produce diacetone amine (from mesityl oxide), 4-amino-4-methyl-2-pentanone [625-04-7] (CH2)2C(NH2)CH2COCH2, and triacetone amine (from phorone),... 

Analogously, aldehydes react with ammonia [7664-41-7] or primary amines to form Schiff bases. Subsequent reduction produces a new amine. The addition of hydrogen cyanide [74-90-8] sodium bisulfite [7631-90-5] amines, alcohols, or thiols to the carbonyl group usually requires the presence of a catalyst to assist in reaching the desired equilibrium product. 

Cyclohexylamine is miscible with water, with which it forms an azeotrope (55.8% H2O) at 96.4°C, making it especially suitable for low pressure steam systems in which it acts as a protective film-former in addition to being a neutralizing amine. Nearly two-thirds of 1989 U.S. production of 5000 —6000 t/yr cyclohexylamine serviced this appHcation (69). Carbon dioxide corrosion is inhibited by deposition of nonwettable film on metal (70). In high pressure systems CHA is chemically more stable than morpholine [110-91-8] (71). A primary amine, CHA does not directiy generate nitrosamine upon nitrite exposure as does morpholine. CHA is used for corrosion inhibitor radiator alcohol solutions, also in paper- and metal-coating industries for moisture and oxidation protection. 

One characteristic of this reaction that can cause problems is that secondary and tertiary amines are produced in addition to the primary amine. It has been proposed that these side reactions occur through reaction of the imine iatermediate with the product amine, followed by the loss of ammonia and further hydrogenation (10). 

Dialkyldimethyl and alkyltrknethyl quaternaries can be prepared direcdy from secondary and primary amines as shown ia equations 7 and 8, respectively. This process, known as exhaustive alkylation, is usually not the method of choice on a commercial scale. This technique requires the continuous addition of basic material over the course of the reaction to prevent the formation of amine salts (223,224). Furthermore, products such as inorganic salt and water must be removed from the quaternary. The salt represents a significant disposal problem. 

High molecular weight primary, secondary, and tertiary amines can be employed as extractants for zirconium and hafnium in hydrochloric acid (49—51). With similar aqueous-phase conditions, the selectivity is in the order tertiary > secondary > primary amines. The addition of small amounts of nitric acid increases the separation of zirconium and hafnium but decreases the zirconium yield. Good extraction of zirconium and hafnium from ca 1 Af sulfuric acid has been effected with tertiary amines (52—54), with separation factors of 10 or more. A system of this type, using trioctylarnine in kerosene as the organic solvent, is used by Nippon Mining of Japan in the production of zirconium (55). 

Catalytic hydrogenation of the nitrile function of cyanohydrins can give amines. As in the case of ordinary nitriles, catalytic reduction of cyanohydrins can yield a mixture of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. Addition of acid or acetic anhydride to the reaction medium minimizes formation of secondary or tertiary amines through formation of the amine salt or acetamide derivative of the primary amine. 

The ahphatic alkyleneamines are strong bases exhibiting behavior typical of simple aUphatic amines. Additionally, dependent on the location of the primary or secondary amino groups iu the alkyleneamines, ring formation with various reactants can occur. This same feature allows for metal ion complexation or chelation (1). The alkyleneamines are somewhat weaker bases than ahphatic amines and much stronger bases than ammonia as the piC values iadicate (Table 2). 

The light-induced rearrangement of 2-phenyl- to 3-phenyl-thiophene may occur by a similar mechanism an equilibrium between the bicyclic intermediate (26) and the cyclopro-penylthioaldehyde (27) has been suggested (Scheme 2). The formation of IV-substituted pyrroles on irradiation of either furans or thiophenes in the presence of a primary amine supports this suggestion (Scheme 3). Irradiation of 2-phenylselenophene yields, in addition to 3-phenylselenophene, the enyne PhC=C—CH=CH2 and selenium. Photolysis of 2-phenyltellurophene furnishes solely the enyne and tellurium (76JOM(108)183). 

With secondary amines such as piperidine or dimethylamine the formal products (169) of cine substitution are obtained with primary amines e.g. /-butylamine), in addition to the displacement product (173), a rearranged product (174) is obtained in which the nitrogen-bearing methyl becomes exocyclic 80CC123).
