Reactions arylamination

Aryl and alkenyl phenyl sulfides are prepared by the reaction of aryl and alkenyl halides and inflates with tributylstannyl phenyl sulfide. 2-Chloropyrimidine (737) is used for the coupling[606,607]. The diaryl or divinyl sulfide 739 is prepared by the reaction of distannyl sulfide (738)[548], N,N-Diethylaminotributyltin (740) reacts with aryl halides to give arylamines[608]. 

The orbital and resonance models for bonding in arylamines are simply alternative ways of describing the same phenomenon Delocalization of the nitrogen lone pair decreases the electron density at nitrogen while increasing it m the rr system of the aro matic ring We ve already seen one chemical consequence of this m the high level of reactivity of aniline m electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions (Section 12 12) Other ways m which electron delocalization affects the properties of arylamines are described m later sections of this chapter...

A reaction of aryl diazonium salts that does not involve loss of nitrogen takes place when they react with phenols and arylamines Aryl diazonium ions are relatively weak elec trophiles but have sufficient reactivity to attack strongly activated aromatic rings The reaction is known as azo coupling two aryl groups are joined together by an azo (—N=N—) function...

Substituted Amides. Monosubstituted and disubstituted amides can be synthesized with or without solvents from fatty acids and aLkylamines. Fatty acids, their esters, and acid halides can be converted to substituted amides by reaction with primary or secondary aLkylamines, arylamines, polyamines, or hydroxyaLkylamines (30). Di- -butylamine reacts with oleic acid (2 1 mole ratio) at 200—230°C and 1380 kPa (200 psi) to produce di-A/-butyloleamide. Entrained water with excess -butylamine is separated for recycling later (31). 

Reductive alkylations and aminations requite pressure-rated reaction vessels and hiUy contained and blanketed support equipment. Nitrile hydrogenations are similar in thein requirements. Arylamine hydrogenations have historically required very high pressure vessel materials of constmction. A nominal breakpoint of 8 MPa (- 1200 psi) requites yet heavier wall constmction and correspondingly more expensive hydrogen pressurization. Heat transfer must be adequate, for the heat of reaction in arylamine ring reduction is - 50 kJ/mol (12 kcal/mol) (59). Solvents employed to maintain catalyst activity and improve heat-transfer efficiency reduce effective hydrogen partial pressures and requite fractionation from product and recycle to prove cost-effective. 

Diarylamines are manufactured by the self-condensation of a primary aromatic amine in the presence of an acid, or the reaction of an arylamine with a phenol, at high temperatures. 

In the ketone method, the central carbon atom is derived from phosgene (qv). A diarylketone is prepared from phosgene and a tertiary arylamine and then condenses with another mole of a tertiary arylamine (same or different) in the presence of phosphoms oxychloride or zinc chloride. The dye is produced directly without an oxidation step. Thus, ethyl violet [2390-59-2] Cl Basic Violet 4 (15), is prepared from 4,4 -bis(diethylamino)benzophenone with diethylaruline in the presence of phosphoms oxychloride. This reaction is very useful for the preparation of unsymmetrical dyes. Condensation of 4,4 -bis(dimethylamino)benzophenone [90-94-8] (Michler s ketone) with AJ-phenjl-l-naphthylamine gives the Victoria Blue B [2580-56-5] Cl Basic Blue 26, which is used for coloring paper and producing ballpoint pen pastes and inks. 

BenZotrichloride Method. The central carbon atom of the dye is supphed by the trichloromethyl group from iJ-chlorobenzotrichloride. Both symmetrical and unsymmetrical triphenyhnethane dyes suitable for acryhc fibers are prepared by this method. 4-Chlorobenzotrichloride is condensed with excess chlorobenzene in the presence of a Lewis acid such as aluminium chloride to produce the intermediate aluminium chloride complex of 4,4, 4"-trichlorotriphenylmethyl chloride (18). Stepwise nucleophihc substitution of the chlorine atoms of this intermediate is achieved by successive reactions with different arylamines to give both symmetrical (51) and unsymmetrical dyes (52), eg, N-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-[(4-chlorophenyl) [4-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]-2,5-cyclohexadien-l-yhdene]methyl]benzenaminemonohydrochloride [85356-86-1J (19) from. w-toluidine and o-chloroaniline. 

The main type of hydrolysis reaction is that of halogenoaryl compounds to hydroxyaryl compounds, eg, the aqueous caustic hydrolysis of 0- and /)-chloronitrobenzene derivatives to nitrophenols. Another important reaction is the hydrolysis of A/-acyl derivatives back to the parent arylamine, where the acyl group is frequently used to protect the amine. 

The reaction of substituted chloronitrobenzenes with arylamines to form substituted diphenyl amines is typified by 4-rutrodiphenylamine-2-sulfoiiic acid where 4-chloronitrobenzene-3-sulfonic acid (PN salt) is condensed with aniline ia an aqueous medium at 120°C and 200 kPa (2 atm) ia the presence of alkaline buffer at low pH to avoid the competing hydrolysis of the PN salt. 

Phosgenation. Reaction of phosgene with arylamines to form ureas, and with reactive aryl species to form substituted hen zophen ones, are special cases of acylation. They are dealt with separately siace a more specialized plant is required than for other acylations. Urea formation takes place readily with water-soluble arylamines by simply passiag phosgeae through a slightly alkaline solutioa. An important example is carbonyl-J-acid from J-acid. 

Cl Acid Gieen 25 [4403-90-1] (3) (Cl 61570) was also invented in 1894. This dye shows improved wetfastness, and is prepared from leucoquinizarin by reaction with 2 moles of i)-toluidine in a similat manner to the preparation of Cl Acid Violet 43 (134). Wetfastness and leveling properties may be altered by choosing the substituents of arylamines. The introduction of alkyl groups into aromatic amines improves the wetfastness and affinity in neutral or weekly acid baths. Examples ate Cl Acid Blue 80 [4474-24-27] (131) (Cl 61585) and Cl Acid Gieen 27 [6408-57-7] (132) (Cl 61580). 

The high reactivity of pyrroles to electrophiles is similar to that of arylamines and is a reflection of the mesomeric release of electrons from nitrogen to ring carbons. Reactions with electrophilic reagents may result in addition rather than substitution. Thus furan reacts with acetyl nitrate to give a 2,5-adduct (33) and in a similar fashion an adduct (34) is obtained from the reaction of ethyl vinyl ether with hydrogen bromide. 

Kinetic mles of oxidation of MDASA and TPASA by periodate ions in the weak-acidic medium at the presence of mthenium (VI), iridium (IV), rhodium (III) and their mixtures are investigated by spectrophotometric method. The influence of high temperature treatment with mineral acids of catalysts, concentration of reactants, interfering ions, temperature and ionic strength of solutions on the rate of reactions was investigated. Optimal conditions of indicator reactions, rate constants and energy of activation for arylamine oxidation reactions at the presence of individual catalysts are determined. 

Aryl isothiocyanates can be prepared by the action of thio-phosgene on the arylamine (this reaction fails with naphthyl compounds), by fission of a 5ym-diaryIthiourea with acidic reagents (this reaction involves the loss of half the amine used), and by the decomposition of an ammonium aryldithiocar-bamate (low yields are reported for naphthyl and other compounds).The procedure described here is that of Baxter, Cymerman-Craig, Moyle, and White. ... 

In addition to being more basic than arylamines, alkylamines are also more nucleophilic. All the reactions in Table 22.4 take place faster with alkylamines than with arylanines. 

The Combes reaction is a sequence of the following reactions (a) condensation of an arylamine 1 with a 1,3-diketone, keto-aldehyde or dialdehyde 2 providing enamine 3, and (b) cyclodehydration to provide quinoline 4. 

More importantly, Peet and coworkers reported the reaction of o-nitroaniline 35 with acetylene dicarboxylate 32 to provide fumarate 36. Subsequent cyclization proved difficult under thermal conditions and only a 35% yield of quinolone 37 was isolated. Use of PPA for the cyclization improved the yield of 37 significantly. Using this modification allowed enamino-ester formation with a nitro-group attached to the arylamine. 

The Gould-Jacobs reaction is a sequence of the following reactions (1) condensation of an arylamine 1 with either alkoxy methylenemalonic ester or acyl malonic ester 2 providing the anilidomethylenemalonic ester 3 (2) cyclization of 3 to the 4-hydroxy-3-carboalkoxyquinoline 4 (3) saponification to form acid 5, and (4) decarboxylation to give the 4-hydroxyquinoline 6. All steps of this process will be described herein with emphasis on the formation of intermediates like 3 and 4. 

Another short protocol for preparation of 3 was recently presented by Knolker and Reddy, who devised a short sequence involving a double iron-mediated arylamine cyclization as the key step (Scheme 19). Thus, the reaction of m-phenylenediamine (140) with the tricarbonyliron-complexed cyclohexadienyl cation 141 yielded the complex 142, which was eventually transformed into indolo-[2,3-()]carbazole (3) via cyclization and dehydrogenation (98TL4007 00T4733). 

The synthesis can be conducted both in solution and without solvents. The reaction in solvent (e.g., methanol, ethanol, dioxane, dimethylformamide) is recommended for volatile 1,3-diynes and amines in this case the pyrroles are purer and the yield is higher. With disubstituted diacetylenes, ammonia and primary alkyl- and arylamines produce 1,2,3-trisubstituted pyrroles under the same conditions (65CB98 71MI1). Since disubstituted diacetylenes are readily obtained by oxidative coupling of acetylenes (98MI2), this reaction provides a preparative route to a wide range of pyrroles. 

Whereas reaction of hydrazones disubstituted in the 4,5-position of the selenazole rings with diazotized arylamines only gives formazans, compounds unsubstituted in the 5-position can be attacked there by the diazonium cation. In fact, the azo coupling in this position is decidedly quicker reaction of 5-benzylidenehydrazino-4-phenyl-...
