Sodium Toluidine

Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde has been made by the condensation of chloral with dimethylaniline, and subsequent hydrolysis 1 by the hydrolysis of tetramethyldiaminobenzhydrol with acetic acid 2 by the condensation of dimethylaniline, formaldehyde and m-sulfo-/>-tolyI hydroxylamine followed by hydrolysis 3 by the electrolytic reduction of a mixture of sodium nitrobenzene sulfonate, dimethylaniline and formaldehyde, and subsequent hydrolysis 4 by the reduction of a mixture of dimethylaniline, formaldehyde and sodium nitrobenzene sulfonate with iron and hydrochloric acid, followed by hydrolysis 5 by the condensation of alloxan with dimethylaniline followed by hydrolysis 6 by the condensation of dimethylaniline, formaldehyde and sodium -toluidine sulfonate in the presence of hydrochloric acid and potassium dichromate followed by hydrolysis.7 The most satisfactory method, however, is the condensation of dimethylaniline, formaldehyde and nitroso dimethylaniline, followed by hydrolysis,8 a method which was first described by E. Noelting and later perfected in detail by L. Baumann. 

Required />-Toluidine, 24 g. hydrochloric acid, 55 ml. sodium nitrite, 17 g. 

Place 1 0 g. of the monobasic acid and 2 g. of aniline or p-toluidine in a dry test-tube, attach a short air condenser and heat the mixture in an oil bath at 140-160° for 2 hours do not reflux too vigorously an acid that boils below this temperature range and only allow steam to escape from the top of the condenser. For a sodium salt, use the proportions of 1 g. of salt to 1 5 g. of the base. If the acid is dibasic, employ double the quantity of amine and a reaction temperature of 180-200° incidentally, the procedure is recommended for dibasic acids since the latter frequently give anhydrides with thionyl chloride. Powder the cold reaction mixture, triturate it with 20-30 ml. of 10 per cent, hydrochloric acid, and recrystallise from dilute alcohol. 

Dissolve 1 g. of the sulphonic acid or its sodium salt in the minimum volume of boiling water and add a saturated aqueous solution of 1 g. of p-toluidine hydrochloride. Cool, Alter off the precipitate of the p-tolu-idine salt, and recrystallise it from hot water or from dilute ethanol. 

The boron trifluoride is absorbed in sodium hydroxide solution. Similarly p-toluidine p-CH3C,H4NHj 3uelds />-fluorotoluene p-CH3CgH4F. 

Dissolve 36 g. of p-toluidine in 85 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 85 ml. of water contained in a 750 ml. conical flask or beaker. Cool the mixture to 0° in an ice-salt bath with vigorous stirring or shaking and the addition of a httle crushed ice. The salt, p-toluidine hydrochloride, will separate as a finely-divided crystalline precipitate. Add during 10-15 minutes a solution of 24 g. of sodium nitrite in 50 ml. of water (1) shake or stir the solution well during the diazotisation, and keep the mixture at a temperature of 0-5° by the addition of a httle crushed ice from time to time. The hydrochloride wUl dissolve as the very soluble diazonium salt is formed when ah the nitrite solution has been introduced, the solution should contain a trace of free nitrous acid. Test with potassium iodide - starch paper (see Section IV,60). 

In a 1 litre flask mix 53 -5 g. of p-toluidine and 400 ml. of water, and then add cautiously 98 g. (53 6 ml.) of concentrated sulphuric acid warm until the p-toluidine dissolves. Cool the flask in a bath of ice and salt to 0-5° add about 100 g. of crushed ice to the contents of the flask in order to accelerate the cooling. Add slowly and with frequent shaking a solution of 35 g. of sodium nitrite in 60 ml. of water until a slight excess of sodium nitrite is present (.see Section IV,60) keep the temperature of the mixture below 10°. 

In a 1 or 1-5 htre round-bottomed flask prepare a solution of 53-5 g. of o-toluidine in 170 ml. of 48 per cent, hydrobromic acid, cool to 5° by immersion in a bath of ice and salt. Diazotise by the gradual addition of a solution of 36 -5 g. of sodium nitrite in 50 ml. of water stopper the flask after each addition and shake until all red fumes are absorbed. Keep the temperature between 5° and 10°. When the diazotisation is complete, add 2 g. of copper powder or copper bronze, attach a reflux condenser to the flask, and heat very cautiously on a water bath. Immediately evolution of gas occurs, cool the flask in crushed ice unless the... 

Halogen Reactions. Hydrolysis of chlorotoluenes to cresols has been effected by aqueous sodium hydroxide. Both displacement and benzyne formation are involved (27,28). o-Chlorotoluene reacts with sodium in Hquid ammonia to afford a mixture of 67% of o-toluidine [95-53-4] and 33% of yW-toluidine [108-44-1], C H CIN, as shown in equation 3 (29). 

The Hquid is basically a methacrylate monomer having a suitable inhibitor to ensure adequate shelf life. A/Ai -Dimethyl-/)-toluidine [99-97-8] is probably the most common polymerization accelerator although A/A/-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)- -toluidine and/or a sulfinate salt, eg, sodium -toluene sulfinate [873-55-2], also maybe used. 

The hydrochloride is suspended in 800 cc. of water in a 2-I. beaker provided with a mechanical stirrer. The base is liberated by the addition of a solution of 140 g. of technical sodium hydroxide in 700 cc. of water, and settles as a heavy brownish oil. After cooling to room temperature, the oil is separated and weighed. The yield of the crude base is 225-250 g. (60-67 per cent of the theoretical amount based on the amount of toluidine used). The crude material may be used directly for the preparation of z-bromotoluene (p. 16). 

The base may be purified by steam distillation but distillation under reduced pressure is more satisfactory. The oil is dried over 5 g. of solid sodium hydroxide and distilled in vacuo. I he first portion of the distillate may contain -toluidine and must be carefully separated, as it causes rapid discoloration. The 3-bromo-4-aminotoluene is obtained as a colorless liquid of b.p. i20-i22°/30 mm. or 92-94 /3 mm. It solidifies on cooling and melts at 16-18°. The loss on purification is about 15 per cent of the weight of the crude base. 

After the addition of 2 1. of water, the mixture is steam-distilled as long as any oil comes over. The crude, heavy, yellow oil is separated and washed with two 200-cc. portions of 10 per cent sodium hydroxide, once with 100 cc. of water, twice with 150-cc. portions of concentrated sulfuric acid, and finally with 100 cc. of 5 per cent, sodium carbonate solution. It is dried with about 5 g. of calcium chloride, filtered through glass wool, and distilled using a long air condenser. Most of the product boils at i8o-i83°/75o mm. The yield of pure colorless material, b.p. i83°/76o mm., is 125-135 g. (36-39 per cent of the theoretical amount, based on the amount of -toluidine originally used, or 54-59 per cent based on the amount of 3-bromo-4-amino-toluene). 

Salicyl-u-toluide has been prepared only by the action of phosphorus oxychloride upon a mixture of salicylic acid and o-toluidine. The useful methods of preparation of salicylanilide are by the interaction of salicylic acid and aniline in the presence of phosphorus trichloride, by heating phenyl salicylate and aniline, and from o-hydroxybenzamide and bromobenzene in the presence of small amounts of sodium acetate and metallic copper. A number of these and other anilides have been described. ... 

Toluene from Toluidine.—It is often desirable to obtain tbe hydiocarbon from the base. The process of diazotisntion offers the only convenient method. The diazonium salt may be reduced by alcohol (Reaction 1, p. 162) or, as in the piesent instance, by sodium stannite. Less direct methods are the con-veision of the diazonium compound into (i) the hydrazine (see p. 174), (2) the acid and distillation with lime (p. 200), (3) the halogen derivative and reduction with sodium amalgam, 01, finally (4) the phenol and distillation with zinc dust. 

The reactivity of the 5-position of 2-aminothiophene in diazo coupling, which is present also in the acylated derivatives, complicates the formation of a diazonium salt from 2-aminothiophene. Thus Steinkopf and Miiller obtained only an azo dyestuff, although they proved, through the isolation of small amounts of 2-thienyl diazonium chloride, the diazotizability of 2-aminothiophene which had earlier been denied. However, recent Russian work claims the preparation of 2-thienyldiazonium chloride by treating the double salt in 10% hydrochloric acid with sodium nitrite. Amazingly high yields (over 90%) of azo compounds were then achieved by coupling the diazonium salt solution with y9-naphtol, w-toluidine or with the 2-aminothiophene double salt. These authors have also studied the... 

Reaction of o-toluidine with chloral hydrate in presence of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and subsequent treatment with H2SO4 gave the isatin derivative 337. Bromination of 337 followed by reaction with sodium diethyl malonate gave 338. Catalytic reduction with Pd/C gave the oxoindole derivative 339 that upon hydrolysis with aqueous NaOH followed by... 

Aj Preparation of 5-Trifluoromethylaniline-2,4-Disulfonylchloride— H ml of chlorosulfonic acid Is cooled in an ice bath, and to the acid is added dropwise while stirring 26.6 grams of a,a,a-trifluoro-m-toluidine. 105 grams of sodium chloride is added during 1-2 hours, whereafter the temperature of the reaction mixture is raised slowly to 150°-160°C which temperature is maintained for three hours. After cooling the mixture, ice-cooled water is added, whereby 5-trifluoromethylaniline-2,4-disulfonyl chloride separates out from the mixture. 

Preparation of Intermediate Compound 2-Methyl-3-o-Tolyl-6-Sulfamyl-7-Chloro-4(3H)-Quinazoiinone Set up a 5-liter 3-necked flask fitted with a stirrer, condenser and a drying tube. To a stirred mixture of 100 g (0.342 mol) of powdered 4-chloro-5-sulfamyl-N-acetylanthranilic acid, 40.2 g (0.376 mol) of o-toluidine and 2.0 liters of dry toluene was added dropwise, over a period of 15 minutes, 21.7 ml (34.1 g) (0.248 mol) of phosphorus trichloride. The mixture was then refluxed for 10 hours. The solid turned somewhat gummy towards the latter part of the first hour. The mixture then became more free flowing as heating was continued. Let stand overnight. The yellow solid was filtered, washed with toluene and dried. The toluene filtrate was discarded. The dried solid was triturated with 1.5 liters of 10% sodium bicarbonate, filtered and the cake washed with water. The filtrate on acidification yielded 11.5 g of the starting acid. The damp product was dissolved in 4,5 liters of 95% ethanol and the solution treated with charcoal and filtered. On cooling filtrate yielded 69.5 g (55.5%) of the title compound, MP 271.5° to 274°C. 

A mixture of 4.0 grams of N-methyl-3-toluidine and 2.8 grams of sodium hydrogencarbon-ate in 50 cc of acetone was stirred at 0° to 10°C and 7.4 grams of 2-naphthyl chlorothiono-formate was added in small portions thereto and the mixture was heated under reflux for 30 minutes. The cooled mixture was poured into about 150 cc of cold water and 2-naphthvl-N-methvl-N-(3-tolyl)thionocarbamate was obtained as white crystals. Yield is 9.1 grams (90 o). Recrystallization from alcohol gave colorless needle crystals, MP 110.5° to 111.5°C. 

In each of two ordinary 250-cc. (8-oz.) narrow-mouthed bottles are placed 32.1 g. (32.5 cc., 0.3 mole) of m-toluidine and 33 (23 cc-y °-3 mole) of ethyl bromide (Note 1). The bottles are sealed with rubber stoppers wired tightly in place and then allowed to stand for twenty-four hours in a 2-1. beaker filled with water at room temperature (Note 2). The white crystalline mass in each bottle is broken up and the amine is liberated by shaking with 150 cc. of 10 per cent sodium hydroxide solution and 50 cc. of ether. The contents of the two flasks are combined, the lower aqueous layer is separated and discarded, and the ether solution of the amine is washed with 150 cc. of water, When the ether is distilled from a steam bath, the crude amine (90-92 g.) is obtained. 

Plant material fractionation. The detailed steps of isolation and separation of oligosaccharide fractions were described earlier [10]. Pectin was separated by boiling the cell walls in 0.5 M ammonium-oxalate buffer, pH 5.2 at 100 C for Ih. The dialyzed solution of pectin was hydrolyzed with 0.15M HCl for 3h at 100 C. Neutralized and desalted hydrolysate was loaded to the column (lx90cm) filled with biogel TSK HW-40 (Toyo Soda, Japan) equilibrated and eluted with 50mM sodium acetate (pH 5.2) at a rate of 0.3ml/min. In all fractions (1ml) the sugars were determined by o-toluidine method (Resnikov et al., 1982) and fraction IP was collected as shown on Figure 1.
