Primary amines, 31 Table aromatic

In contrast, both ketones and aldehydes, the former more slowly than the latter, generally react with aromatic and aliphatic primary amines (Table 9.4,2a) to produce the corresponding hemiaminals (carbinolamines), which are usually not isolated as they readily lose water to produce imines (sometimes called Schiff s bases). Thus,... 

The melting points of the derivatives of a number of selected primary and secondary aromatic amines are given in Tables IV, 100A and IV, 1OOB respectively. 

The melting points of some typical substituted aromatic amides are collected in Table IV,192. Other examples will be found in the appropriate columns of Tables IV,100A and B Primary and Secondary Aromatic Amines) and of Table IV,175 (Aromatic Carboxylic Acids). 

Four types of organic amines exist, as shown in Table 4.8 primary amines RNHj, secondary R2NH2, tertiary RsNH, and quaternary R4N (Appendix D). The hydrocarbon chain R is usually of length Cg-Cu, commonly a straight aliphatic chain, but branched chains and aromatic parts also occur. In general the amines extract metal complexes in the order tertiary > secondary > primary. Only long-chain tertiary and—to a smaller extent—quarternary amines are used in industrial extraction, because of their suitable physical properties trioctylam-ine (TOA, 8 carbons per chain) and trilauryl amine (TLA, 12 carbons per chain) are the most frequently used. For simplicity we abbreviate all amines by RN, and their salts by RNH L . 

Tertiary benzylic nitriles are useful synthetic intermediates, and have been used for the preparation of amidines, lactones, primary amines, pyridines, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, and esters. The general synthetic pathway to this class of compounds relies on the displacement of an activated benzylic alcohol or benzylic halide with a cyanide source followed by double alkylation under basic conditions. For instance, 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropionitrile has been prepared by methylation of (2-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile using sodium amide and iodomethane. In the course of the preparation of a drug candidate, the submitters discovered that the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of aryl fluorides with the anion of a secondary nitrile is an effective method for the preparation of these compounds. The reaction was studied using isobutyronitrile and 2-fluoroanisole. The submitters first showed that KHMDS was the superior base for the process when carried out in either THF or toluene (Table I). For example, they found that the preparation of 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropionitrile could be accomplished h... 

Triazenes have been prepared by the treatment of resin-bound aromatic diazonium salts with secondary amines (Figure 3.27). Regeneration of the amine can be effected by mild acidolysis (Entry 1, Table 3.23). Triazenes have been shown to be stable towards bases such as TBAF, potassium hydroxide, or potassium tert-butoxide [454], and under the conditions of the Heck reaction [455]. Primary amines cannot be linked to supports as triazenes because treatment of triazenes such as R-HN-N=N-Ar-Pol with acid leads to the release of aliphatic diazonium salts into solution [373]. Triazenes derived from primary amines can, however, be used for the preparation of amides and ureas (see Section 3.3.4),... 

Alternatively, sulfonamides can also be prepared by oxidation of sulfinamides with periodate (Entry 3, Table 8.8) or with MCPBA [125]. Polystyrene-bound sulfonyl chlorides, which can be prepared from polystyrene-bound sulfonic acids by treatment with PCI5, SOCI2 [126-129], CISO3H [130], or SO2CI2/PPI13 [131], react smoothly with amines to yield the corresponding sulfonamides (Entry 4, Table 8.8). Support-bound carbamates of primary aliphatic or aromatic amines can be N-sulfonylated in the presence of strong bases, and can therefore be used as backbone amide linkers for sulfonamides (Entries 5 and 6, Table 8.8). 

One type of oligoamide that can readily be prepared on supports without the need for any partially protected monomers (which are often tedious and expensive to synthesize) are N-substituted oligoglycines (Figure 16.21). These compounds are prepared by a sequence of acylation of a support-bound amine with bromoacetic acid, displacement of the bromide with a primary aliphatic or aromatic amine, and repeated acylation with bromoacetic acid. Because primary amines are cheap and available in large number, this approach enables the cost-efficient production of large, diverse compound libraries. Alternatively, protected N-substituted glycines can also be prepared in solution and then assembled on insoluble supports (Entry 5, Table 16.2). 

Thermoset polyurethanes are cross-linked polymers, which are produced by casting or reaction injection molding (RIM). For cast elastomers, TDI in combination with 3,3,-dichloro-4,4,-diphen5lmethanediamine (MOCA) are often used. In the RIM technology, aromatic diamine chain extenders, such as diethyltoluenediamine (DETDA), are used to produce poly(urethane ureas) (47), and replacement of the polyether polyols with amine-terminated polyols produces polyureas (48). The aromatic diamines are soluble in the polyol and provide fast reaction rates. In 1985, internal mold release agents based on zinc stearate compatibilized with primary amines were introduced to the RIM process to minimize mold preparation and scrap from parts tom at demold. Some physical properties of RIM systems are listed in Table 7. 

Reeve and Christian compared Raney Ni and Raney Co (W-7 type) for the hydrogenation of six aliphatic and aromatic aldoximes and ketoximes in the presence or absence of ammonia.26 From the results summarized in Table 8.1, it is notable that Raney Co gives high yields of primary amine in ethanol or dioxane without addition of ammonia as seen in the results with butyraldoxime, 2-butanone oxime, and acetophenone oxime. On the other hand, Raney Ni usually requires an ammoniacal solvent for best results, with the exception of acetophenone oxime, which gave high yields of primary amine in the absence of ammonia. 

Table 1.3 shows the approximate values for common functional groups. The lower the value, the more acidic the protonated species. Any conjugate acid in the table will protonate a species lying below it and will be protonated by acids listed above it. Thus, a halogen acid (pK of -10 to -8) will protonate any species listed in this table, whereas a carboxylic acid (pA a of 4-5) would be expected to protonate aliphatic amines ipK values of 9-11), but not primary and secondary aromatic amines ipK values of -5 and 1, respectively). 

Synthesis of aromatic azides by nitrosation of hydrazine derivatives has usually been employed in preference to procedures involving diazotization of a primary amine only in cases where this latter procedure is of a difficult or uncertain nature. For this reason mzmy heteroaromatic azides have been synthesized by nitrosation of their readily obtainable hydrazino derivatives (Table 18). 

Activation of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids with sulfuric acid derivatives yields amides (Table 3). Sulfuryl chloride fluoride and primary amines or chlorosulfonyl isocyanate and secondary amines are used as reaction partners. 

The ability of boranes to coordinate and activate an incoming substrate was also proposed recently by Lu and Williams.The di(pyrazolyl)borohydride was first coordinated to mthenium. Chloride abstraction in acetonitrile then afforded the imido complex 46c as a result of intramolecular hydroborafion of the CN triple bond (Scheme 15). The process is amenable to catalysis using excess of NaBH and 1 equiv. of NaOfBu (Table 1). A broad variety of electron-poor and electron rich-aromatic nitriles were thereby reduced into primary amines using 5 mol% of 46c. With electron-rich heterocycles, hydration instead of hydrogenation is observed and amides are obtained.
