Secondary amines, reactions table

Variation of the pKa of the amine enabled us to show that the process occurred via path A since intermediate 8 was clearly visible in all reactions and conversion to product 10 correlated with the pKas of the primary amines 11 and the secondary amines 8 (Table 2, Figs. 4a and b). 

To gain further insight into the reactions of alkenyl azlactones with secondary amines, reaction of 2 with a variety of simple amines was studied. Table 3 lists the results as the ratio of Michael addition to ring-opening as estimated by 100 MHz H-NMR. As can be seen from the... 

Pyridoxal Derivatives. Various aldehydes of pyridoxal (Table 3) react with hemoglobin at sites that can be somewhat controlled by the state of oxygenation (36,59). It is thereby possible to achieve derivatives having a wide range of functional properties. The reaction, shown for PLP in Figure 3, involves first the formation of a Schiff s base between the amino groups of hemoglobin and the aldehyde(s) of the pyridoxal compound, followed by reduction of the Schiff s base with sodium borohydride, to yield a covalendy-linked pyridoxyl derivative in the form of a secondary amine. 

It has been shown (140) that enamines react as well, if not better, under the conditions of the Leuckart-Wallach reaction to give amines than do ketones in the presence of ammonia, primary amines, or secondary amines. This implies that in the Leuckart-Wallach reaction the pathway may be through the enamine and, of course, the iminium salt. The Leuckart-Wallach reaction has been reviewed (141). Examples of enamines reduced under the conditions of the Leuckart-Wallach reaction are listed in Table 12. 

The activation energy of substitution of an unactivated aromatic halide (e.g., fiuorobenzene and 2-chloronaphthalene ) is over 30 kcal while that of activated compounds is 5-20 kcal. For the tabulated reactions (Tables II-VIII) with alkoxide and with primary, secondary, or tertiary amines, resonance activation (cf. 278 and 279) by ortho or para nitrogens is found to be greater than inductive activation (cf. 251). This relation is qualitatively demonstrated in... 

Local excitation was also studied for primary and secondary amines under irradiation at 313 nm. The results are summarized in Table 11. In order to estimate the photoinitiating efficiency of the amines, the measurement was performed at a chosen constant absorbance (0.40) of the reaction mixture. The rates of polymerization were found to be in the following order ... 

More than twenty years ago, Nesmeyanov s group showed that chlorine can be substituted by a variety of nucleophiles in FeCp(r 6-PhCl)+ [83, 84]. Indeed the chlorine substituent in the chlorobenzene (even) ligand is 1000 times more reactive than when it is located on the cyclopentadienyl (odd) ligand [85]. The FeCp+ is a good withdrawing group which is equivalent to two nitro groups in terms of activation. The reactions proceed under ambient conditions with primary or secondary amines and have been extended to other substituted chloroarene complexes [86, 87] Eq. (22), Table 2. 

The reaction of the gold(I) pentafluorophenyl isocyanide complexes with primary and secondary amines as well as alcohols leads to the corresponding gold(I) [62, 65] carbenes (Table 3.2). The addition of amines leads to the corresponding carbenes... 

The reaction of 49 with alkylamines has been examined in the context of Cp2Mg-MR3-NH3 (M = group 13 metal) mixtures as CVD precursors. Addition of primary and secondary amines to 49 at ambient temperature in toluene affords stable amine adducts in good yield (Table 3). Most adducts can be sublimed at under 100 °C/0.05 torr in... 

Catalytic coupling reaction of aldehydes, alkynes, and secondary amines promoted by less than 3 mol.% of Ag(l) salt was reported by Li et al,517 In this reaction, pure water was used as solvent and Agl was found to be the best catalyst without need of any additives or co-catalysts (Table 9). The reaction mechanism has been proposed as shown in Scheme 110. 

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)... 

A recent study of the reactions of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene and of picryl chloride with a series of nucleophiles that are presented in Table 6 shows that a plot (not shown) of log k against the pK values of all the nucleophiles is badly scattered77. Differences of up to 108 are observed for bases with similar pKa values. Part of this scatter is due to deviations that result because different families of nucleophiles (with different nucleophilic atoms) give rise to different Br0nsted correlation lines. Thus, for the reactions of picryl chloride good correlations are observed for a family of oxyanions (ft = 0.38, plot not shown), primary and secondary amines (Figure 4, ft = 0.52) and quinuclidines (Figure 4, P = 0.66).

Variations on this procedure are set out in Table IV. It can be seen that adding excess reagents does not Improve the capacity obtained, but that sequential addition is of some benefit (M3, M4). Strong base resins cannot be prepared by this route since tertiary amines do not react (M5), and a very weak secondary amine also gives very little reaction (M6). 

The major product isolated from the reaction of secondary amines with dichloro-carbene the reaction under phase-transfer conditions is the A-formylamine [12-14], The isolated yields are considerably higher (Table 7.14) than those recorded for classical procedures and are not inhibited by steric effects [15]. Diphenylamine is converted into its A-formyl derivative in low yield by conventional procedures and, although application of the phase-transfer catalysed procedure increases the yields, the E- and Z-l,2-bis(diphenylamino)-l,2-dichloroethenes are also obtained as byproducts of the reaction [13],... 

Rovis and Vora sought to expand the utility in alpha redox reactions to include the formation of amides [116]. While aniline was previously demonstrated as an efficient nucleophile in this reaction (Scheme 29), attempts to develop the scope to include non-aryl amines as various primary and secondary amines resulted in low yields. The discovery of a co-catalyst was the key to effecting amide formation (Table 15). Various co-catalysts, including HOBt, HOAt, DMAP, imidazole, and pentafluorophenol, are efficient and result in high yields of a variety of amides including those involving primary and secondary amines with additional functionality. 

Catalytic activity data summarized in Table 2 indicate that both the reaction temperature and the NH3/iBuOH ratio strongly affect the conversion of iBuOH and the selectivity and thus the yield of secondary amine. Upon increasing the reaction temperature and the NH3/iBuOH ratio the conversion of alcohol significantly increased. Because of the interaction of the two parameters, i.e. the temperature and the NH3/iBuOH ratio, the yield and the selectivity of secondary amine shows up... 

Thioamides of secondary amines are deprotonated with isopropyhnagnesium to give (Z)-enolates. Thioamides of primary amines react with two equivalents of /-PrMgBr to afford dianions that have been shown to have the (Z)-configuration. These magnesium species are versatile intermediates in stereoselective aldol reaction (equation 50, Table 5 ... 

If thioamide enolates are prepared by conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to a,/3-unsaturated thioamides of secondary amines, the reaction of these enolates with aldehydes affords anti aldols. These results are rationalized by the formation of a boat-like, chelate transition state" Representative examples are provided in equation 112 and Table 16. 

Table I gives many examples of the preparation of enamines by the reaction of secondary amines with aldehydes and ketones.

Nitrenes have a short lifetime (only several microseconds)86- 8 and undergo stabilization by the following reactions isomerization to imines, dimerization to azo compounds, hydrogen abstraction followed by ring closure to heterocyclic compounds, bimolecular insertion into C-H bonds to secondary amines, addition to solvent yielding ylids, and addition to unsaturated systems yielding heterocyclic compounds. Table 117-106 includes the reaction products and references for the different classes of nitrenes.
