Propargylamines

Note 3. During this period the excess of propargyl bromide is converted into propargylamines. 

A unique method to generate the pyridine ring employed a transition metal-mediated 6-endo-dig cyclization of A-propargylamine derivative 120. The reaction proceeds in 5-12 h with yields of 22-74%. Gold (HI) salts are required to catalyze the reaction, but copper salts are sufficient with reactive ketones. A proposed reaction mechanism involves activation of the alkyne by transition metal complexation. This lowers the activation energy for the enamine addition to the alkyne that generates 121. The transition metal also behaves as a Lewis acid and facilitates formation of 120 from 118 and 119. Subsequent aromatization of 121 affords pyridine 122. 

Etintidine (84), an imidazole-containing histamine H-2 receptor antagonist, is an antiiilcer agent conceptually related to cimetidine and ranitidine. It can be synthesized by various routes one of which terminates by an addition-elimination reaction of propargylamine with substituted N-cyano-S-methylisothiourea derivative 83 to give etintidine (84) [28]. 

Monoamine Oxidases and their Inhibitors. Figure 2 Structures of MAO inhibitors. In the top row, the structural similarity between selegiline/L-deprenyl and methamphetamine is shown. Below are the aminoindan series of propargylamine compounds such as rasagiline. Next, the bifunctional MAO and cholinesterase inhibitors (ladostigil) and lastly, the iron chelator-MAO inhibitors. 

Propargylamine werden durch Lithiumalanat/Aluminiumchlorid bzw. Bis-[2-methyl-propyl]-alum in i umh ydrid mit guten Ausbeuten zu Allylaminen reduziert6. 

Based on the experimental results above and together with Wang s previous work a tentative mechanism was proposed (Scheme 20) [33]. Thus, intermediate A is formed initially through coordination of imine and alkyne to the Lewis acid. This coordination sets the stage for an addition of the alkyne to the imine leading to the propargylamine intermediate B, which then undergoes an intramolecular... 

Using propargyl alcohols and propargylamine derivatives as acetylenic compounds, the silylformylation reaction affords, in the presence of a base, a-silylmethylene-P-lactones, I, and P-lactams, II, respectively (Scheme 3) [13]. 

Reaction with Propargyl Halides. The indium-mediated coupling of propargyl bromide with a variety of imines and imine oxides afforded homo-propargylamine derivatives in aqueous media under mild conditions.78 Propargylation of glyoxylic oxime ether in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium(O) complex and indium(I) iodide in aqueous media was also studied (Eq.11.47).79... 

Three types of reactive spectrally distinct fluorophores, namely lissamine rhoda-mine (LR) 80, 7-dimethylaminocoumarin (DMAC) 81, and bodipy-630 (BDPY) 82 dyes, prepared by coupling 3-azidopropylamine or propargylamine to commercially available amine-reactive dyes were evaluated for the use in selective dye-labeling of newly synthesised proteins in Rat-1 fibroblasts. 

The mechanism of oxaphospholic cyclization was confirmed by isolating 152 in the reaction of /V-methyl-/V-propargylamine with dialkylchlorophosphite (Scheme 61) [125],... 

The possible mechanisms of inhibition of flavin by (—)-deprenyl, as an irreversible acetylenic inhibitor, were studied by ab initio methods with the 6-31G basis set using simplified model compounds, 3-formyl-2-imino-l-hydroxypyrazine, and propargylamine. The formation of two energetically stable cyclic adducts, the 0,N adduct 286 and a C,N adduct, was shown <1999THA147>. 

Several new methods for the synthesis of the oxazole nucleus were published. A new consecutive three-component oxazole synthesis by an amidation-coupling-cycloisomerisation sequence was developed. The synthesis started from propargylamine 92 and acyl chlorides. To extend this process, a four component sequence involving a carbonylative arylation by substitution of one acyl chloride with an aryl iodide and a CO atmosphere was also performed <06CC4817>. 

Figure 17.10 Propargylamine can be used to add an alkyne group to amine-reactive reagents, such as the NHS ester group on the biotin-PEGj compound.

A copper-catalyzed one-pot three-component atom-economical C-H functionalization process was used to form enantioenriched propargylamines. This protocol was also employed for the synthesis of the alkaloid (A)-(+)-coniine (Equation (196)).159 159a... 

The same type of bis-functionalization has been reported for the palladium-catalyzed borylstannylative carbocy-cyclization of 1,6-, 1,5-, 1,7-diynes, bis-propargylamine, and ether.377 It should be noted that even 1,2-dialkylidene cyclobutane can be obtained in reasonable yield. Ito has proposed the related silaborative reaction involving nickel(O) catalysis.378 This reaction has been performed in an intra- and intermolecular fashion. The intramolecular reaction allows the formation of cyclic dienes and the intermolecular process proceeds through a dimerization of alkynes to give acyclic dienes. 

Li and Wei have extended their Grignard-type methodology in water to the use of in. (////-generated imines from the corresponding aldehydes and arylamines, thus furnishing the corresponding propargylamines in a three-component one-pot procedure. 

As shown in Table 11 and Scheme 112, a C-H bond of terminal alkynes is activated by an Au(i) species producing gold acetylenide intermediates, which react with immonium ions generated in situ from aldehydes and secondary amines to provide propargylamines in high yields. This reaction proceeds in water with 1 mol.% of Au(i) or Au(m)...
