Subject from amines

It is very important to note that none of these assays measures the interaction with the receptor directly and each may be subject to interferences from such factors as competition from amine uptake and metabolic systems the presence of penetration barriers, and possible indirect effects on the receptor by release of natural amines from presynaptic storage sites. This is particularly true for the behavioral assay with the crayfish. The results therefore cannot be taken as a completely reliable guide to the relative activity of these compounds at the OA receptor. However, the three studies show a number of similarities as well as some differences. 

Reductive amination. Imines formed in situ from amines and carbonyl compounds are subject to reduction. This method constitutes a convenient synthesis of secondary amines. 

The Michael addition of secondary amines to a,)S-unsaturated carbonyl compounds under MWI essentially required the presence of water to drive the amine addition to completion and the presence of at least 10 mole equivalents of the amine. Besides increasing the polarity and possibly some micellar effect, water facilitates protonation of the resulted enolate from amine addition. In a typical procedure, benzalacetophenone was mixed with morpholine (469) and water in a teflon flask and subjected to MWI for 2 min to yield 93% of the 1,4-adduct 471 (Scheme 92). The method was also extended to other morpholine derivatives 472 and 473 in 30% and 100% yields, respectively (00SC643). 

In the past year, research emphasis has focused on the possible central transmitter functions of the catecholamines, norepinephrine and dopamine and the Indolamine, serotonin. Three excellent reviews have considered this subject from the standpoints of transmitter criteria catecholamine activity and amine influence on various affective states Pertinent data have been obtained from the following lines of investigation ... 

Metallic sodium. This metal is employed for the drying of ethers and of saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons. The bulk of the water should first be removed from the liquid or solution by a preliminary drying with anhydrous calcium chloride or magnesium sulphate. Sodium is most effective in the form of fine wire, which is forced directly into the liquid by means of a sodium press (see under Ether, Section II,47,i) a large surface is thus presented to the liquid. It cannot be used for any compound with which it reacts or which is affected by alkalis or is easily subject to reduction (due to the hydrogen evolved during the dehydration), viz., alcohols, acids, esters, organic halides, ketones, aldehydes, and some amines. 

Morpholiaoglucopyranosides have beea syathesized from sucrose by selective lead tetraacetate oxidatioa of the fmctofuranosyl ring to a dialdehyde (6). This product was subjected to reductive amination with sodium borohydride and a primary amine such as benzylamine to produce the /V-henzy1morpho1ino derivative (7) (99). 

It should be noted that when a BOC-protected amide is subjected to MeONa treatment the amide bond is cleaved in preference to the BOC group (85-96% yield) because of the difference in steric factors. The BOC group can be removed by the methods used to remove it from simple amines. 

Aminoquinazolines have been the subject of considerable investigation and a large number of derivatives have been prepared as potential antimalarials. The secondary and tertiary amino compounds can be prepared from the corresponding chloroquinazolines and the required primary or secondary amines. The reaction depends on the reactivity of the halogen atom, e.g, the 4-chloro atom reacts more readily than the 2-chloro atom in quinazolines and also on the basic strength of the amine used (see 6a). The reaction is... 

These pyridazines are subject to direct deactivation of the leaving group. It would appear from the conditions used in its reactions with ammonia (115°) and methylamine (50°) that 4-chloro-2-ethylthiopyrimidine (225) is somewhat deactivated (indirect). In various aminations of pyrimidines, the effect of an alkylthio group seems to be very mildly deactivating, like that of methyl groups. However, these surmises from the conditions used are not as reliable as the direct qualitative comparison described above and the kinetic data. 

Nitriles and oximes are considered together because of common features. Both functions are reduced to primary amines, both undergo coupling reactions to secondary amines, and both are subject to reductive hydrolysis. These similarities arise from a common intermediate, an imine. The imine is... 

After cooling, the solution was diluted with 1.5 liters of water and subjected to three extractions with ether. The amine was extracted from the ethereal solution with 2 N HCI and liberated therefrom by the addition of solid NaOH (while cooling). The alkaline solution was extracted with ether and the ethereal solution was dried with soiid NaOH. Distii-lation resulted in 10.6 grams (70% of the theory) of 1-aminoadamantane which, after sublimation, melted at 180° to 192°C (seal capillary). It is converted to the hydrochloride. 

The viscous oil resin Is slurried twice with 250 cc portions of methanol to remove any unreacted primary amines. The oil residue after being washed with methanol is dissolved in ethyl alcohol and 75 cc of concentrated hydrochloric acid is added dropwise to the warm alcohol solution of the base. The dihydrochloride salts of the several hydroabietyl ethylenediamines precipitates immediately from solution. The salt is then separated by filtering and is washed twice with 100 cc portions of cooled ethyl alcohol. The dihydrochloride salts of the dehy-droabietyl, dihydroabietyl and tetrahydroabietyl ethylenediamine mixture have a melting point of about 292°C to 295°C. On subjecting the mixture to solubility analyses it Is found that the dehydroabietyl ethylenediamine is present in substantially the same proportion as is the dehydroabietylamine in the original "Rosin Amine D."... 

Triazenes obtained from arenediazonium ions with secondary aliphatic or aromatic amines are not subject to tautomerism. They are used as stable sources of arenediazonium ion in organic synthesis and in technological applications. 

Owing to the reversible nature of the allylic sulfenate/allylic sulfoxide interconversion, the stereochemical outcome of both processes is treated below in an integrated manner. However, before beginning the discussion of this subject it is important to point out that although the allylic sulfoxide-sulfenate rearrangement is reversible, and although the sulfenate ester is usually in low equilibrium concentration with the isomeric sulfoxide, desulfurization of the sulfenate by thiophilic interception using various nucleophiles, such as thiophenoxide or secondary amines, removes it from equilibrium, and provides a useful route to allylic alcohols (equation 11).
