Quaternary ammonium alkyl ethers are prepared similarly an alkaline starch is reacted with a quaternary ammonium salt containing a 3-chloto-2-hydtoxyptopyl or 2,3-epoxyptopyl radical. Alternatively, such derivatives can be prepared by simple quaternization of tertiary aminoalkyl ethers by reaction with methyl iodide. Sulfonium (107) and phosphonium (108) starch salts have also been prepared and investigated. Further work has explained the synthesis of diethyl aminoethyl starch (109) as well as the production of cationic starches from the reaction of alkaline starch with... 

A radical cyclization pathway to reduced pyrrolo[2,3-3]pyridines has been reported from 2-bromo-3-(2-aminoethyl)-pyridine and benzophenone in the presence of AIBN and tributyltin hydride (Equation 38) <20010L1009>. Both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing functional groups can be present on the pyridine ring since the radical has its unpaired electron localized in a cr-orbital. 

Having been generated, these moieties undergo cyclization reactions providing efficient synthetic routes to /V-heterocyclcs with a variety of ring sizes. Thus, direct irradiation of secondary aminoethyl and aminopropyl stilbenes leads to benzazepines in improved yields (Hintz et al. 1996). As known, benzazepines are used in medicine as antidepressants. Scheme 6-37 illustrates ion radical cyclization with the formation of the benzazepine derivative (65% yield). 

In close analogy to the 2-hydroxyethyl radical 21 (R = H) the 2-aminoethyl radical 24 faces a substantial barrier for the (most likely stepwise) 1,2-migration process. A transition state for the concerted migration pathway such as 25 could up to now not be located. What differentiates the amino 1,2-migration from the corresponding hydroxy group migration is that the former appears to be less affected... 

To examine the feasibility of cation formation through hydride ion abstraction, we obtained an estimate for the barrier for hydride ion removal. Due to complications associated with the gas-phase reaction, we modeled the abstraction by considering the 1-aminoethyl cation abstracting a hydride ion from the neutral aminopropyl radical. Although hydride abstraction might have been expected to be a high-energy process, the calculated barrier for this model reaction is only 13... 

Acetylcholine and related esters can exist in two conformations (Fig. 3.5), the skewed and extended forms (200) (e.g., 44 and 45, respectively, for acetylcholine). The skewed form (44) of acetylcholine is closely related to the structure of muscarine (46) (200). Similarly the substituted aminoethyl esters, which are anticholinergics, may exist in two conformations. The skewed forms of acetylcholine (44), muscarine (46), the skewed form of aminoethyl esters (47), and the extended form of aminopropane derivatives (48) all interact at the same muscarinic receptors. In the former two compounds the interatomic distance between the quaternary nitrogen and the ether oxygen atom is nearly the same, and both of them are agonists. In (48) the interatomic distance between the quaternary nitrogen and the carbon atom to which the cyclic radicals are attached is the same, and both of them are... 

A second new class of MAO mechanism-based inactivators, (aminoalkyl)tri-methylsilanes, have been reported by Silverman and Banik (114). The idea for this class of MAO inactivators is based on the known activation of the carbon-silicon bond toward homolytic cleavage reaction when the silicon atom is /3 to a radical cation (115, 116). The aminomethyl-, aminoethyl-, and (amino-propyl)trimethylsilanes are all pseudo-first-order time-dependent inactivators of beef liver MAO that reduce the flavin cofactor during the inactivation reaction. Since denaturation of the inactivated enzyme allows flavin leoxidation, covalent bond formation might be to an amino acid residue (114). The stabilities of the enzyme adducts from the (aminoalkyl)trimethylsilanes were found to be differ-... 

HT is oxidized to TA, probably with the help of HT oxidase70. Recently Fellman presented evidence that HT is first oxidized by a hydroxyl radical to bis-aminoethyl-a-disulfone 26. The hydroxyl radical is generated by a liver microsomal NADPH oxidase. 26 has been prepared from HT in the presence of chemically or enzymatically generated radicals and was characterized by NMR and mass spectrometry. It has been found in male sexual tissue which contains HT and TA in respectively high concentrations83. A relatively minor pathway consists of oxidation of CSA to cysteic acid (cysteinesulfonic acid, CA 27) and its decarboxylation to TA under the influence of CSA decarboxylase70. 

The free-radical copolymerization of acrylamide with three common cationic comonomers diallyldimethylammonium chloride, dimethyl-aminoethyl methacrylate, and dimethylaminoethyl acrylate, has been investigated. Polymerizations were carried out in solution and inverse microsuspension with azocyanovaleric acid, potassium persulfate, and azobisisobutyronitrile over the temperature range 45 to 60 C. The copolymer reactivity ratios were determined with the error-in-variables method by using residual monomer concentrations measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. This combination of estimation procedure and analytical technique has been found to be superior to any methods previously used for the estimation of reactivity ratios for cationic acrylamide copolymers. A preliminary kinetic investigation of inverse microsuspension copolymerization at high monomer concentrations is also discussed.

In practical applications more than one paramagnetic species may be present in the sample. This is the case in the ENDOR spectram in Fig. 2.10 due to two forms of the radical H3N CH2CH0S03 present after X-Irradiation at 295 K of 2-aminoethyl hydrogen sulphate. Overlap of spectra occurs in the region where lines due to...

The four resonances labelled a-d result from hfc and nqc due to the N nucleus in the radical H3N" CH2CH0S03. The resonances labelled A and B are attributed to another radical. The figure is reproduced from [28] with permission from the American Chemical Society...
