Sulfonation of amines

Combinatorial sequences that comprise amine acylation can frequently be expanded to sulfonamide formation using sulfonyl chlorides (unspecified sulfochlorides [9, 52] aliphatic and aromatic sulfochlorides [19] aromatic sulfochlorides [80,102]). Sulfonation of aliphatic diamines with protected (3-aminoalkane sulfonyl chlorides was carried out in the presence of polymer-bound 4-dialkylaminopyridine [130] (see also Table 3.11).

Sulfonamides can also be obtained by sulfonation of amines with N-sulfonylbenzo-triazole in THF [10]... 

The directing influence of primary, secondary and tertiary amino groups is greatly weakened by the presence of large amounts of concentrated sulfuric acid. Hence, considerable quantities of the meta isomers are formed in the nitration of amines in concentrated sulfuric acid solution, and in the sulfonation of amines by concentrated sulfuric acid or oleum. 

The fusion is best carried out in vacuum, suitably in the vacuum baking apparatus used in the sulfonation of amines by the baking process. When the water is evaporated from the melt, the mass foams and, in order to avoid clogging the suction tube, this tube should be sufficiently wide and the tray should not be more than half filled. In order to obtain good yields, it is necessary to use about twice the sodium hydroxide required theoretically, i.e., about 8 moles per mole of sodium benzenedisulfonate. 

Direct sulfonation of amines by sulfuric acid or oleum is not as clear-cut as the baking process. / -(Ethylamino)benzenesulfonic add is formed from A-ethyl aniline,116 but both m- and / -(dimethylamino)benzenesulfonic acid are formed from A,7V-dimethyl aniline.138 According to Blangey and his coworkers,124d 139 m-[(iV-ethyl-7V-phenylamino)methyl]benzenesulfonic acid is obtained from JV-benzyl-JV-ethylaniline. 

Sulfonation of Amines and Cleavage. The reaction of Dios-Cl (1) with ammonia affords water-soluble primary Dios-amide (2) in 90% yield (eq 1). Primary (eq 2) and secondary amines (eq 3) are also sulfonated efficiently. 

PAS) uses an excess of chlorosulfonic acid, which also serves as the solvent. Sulfonation of heterocyclic amine TM 7.2b is performed in an organic solvent in the presence of amine as acid scavenger. The industrial method for the sulfonation of amines prefers Schotten-Baumann conditions, where the reaction is completed in aqueous medium, an acetone-water or methanol-water solvent mixmre, with continuous addition of one mole of hydroxide. 

In the first steps, ester condensation to diketo acid, preparadon of oxime and cyclization are completed under standard conditions. Ester ammonolysis is followed by Hofmann rearrangement of amide to heterocyclic amine. Sulfonation of amine under Schotten-Baumann conditions, in a water-organic solvent mixmre, is based on an interesting trick hydroxide is added at a controlled rate to scavenge the hydrochloric acid formed in sulfonation and to maintain the neutral pH of the aqueous solution of heterocyclic amine as a stronger nucleophile than water, avoiding the hydrolysis of sulfonyl chloride ...

Soluble Salt Flotation. KCl separation from NaCl and media containing other soluble salts such as MgCl (eg, The Dead Sea works in Israel and Jordan) or insoluble materials such as clays is accompHshed by the flotation of crystals using amines as coUectors. The mechanism of adsorption of amines on soluble salts such as KCl has been shown to be due to the matching of coUector ion size and lattice vacancies (in KCl flotation) as well as surface charges carried by the soflds floated (22). Although cation-type coUectors (eg, amines) are commonly used, the utUity of sulfonates and carboxylates has also been demonstrated in laboratory experiments. 

Many aminonaphthalenesulfonic acids are important in the manufacture of azo dyes (qv) or are used to make intermediates for azo acid dyes, direct, and fiber-reactive dyes (see Dyes, reactive). Usually, the aminonaphthalenesulfonic acids are made by either the sulfonation of naphthalenamines, the nitration—reduction of naphthalenesulfonic acids, the Bucherer-type amination of naphtholsulfonic acids, or the desulfonation of an aminonaphthalenedi-or ttisulfonic acid. Most of these processes produce by-products or mixtures which often are separated in subsequent purification steps. A summary of commercially important aminonaphthalenesulfonic acids is given in Table 4. 

Another example of manufacture in this series is the sulfonation of an aminonaphthalenesulfonic acid, followed by selected desulfonation, to make 6-amino-l,3-naphthalenedisulfonic acid (21). Thus, 2-amino-l-naphthalenesulfonic acid made by amination of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid is added to 20 wt % oleum at ca 35°C. At this temperature, 65 wt % oleum is added and the charge is stirred for 2 h, is then slowly heated to 100°C and is maintained for 12 h to produce 6-amino-l,3,5-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid. The mass is diluted with water and maintained for 3 h at 105°C to remove the sulfo group adjacent to the amino group. After cooling to ca 20°C and filtration, 6-amino-l,3-naphthalenedisulfonic acid is obtained in 80% yield (55). 

Primary nitroparaffins react with two moles of formaldehyde and two moles of amines to yield 2-nitro-l,3-propanediamines. With excess formaldehyde, Mannich bases from primary nitroparaffins and primary amines can react further to give nitro-substituted cycHc derivatives, such as tetrahydro-l,3-oxa2iaes or hexahydropyrimidines (38,39). Pyrolysis of salts of Mannich bases, particularly of the boron trifluoride complex (40), yields nitro olefins by loss of the amine moiety. Closely related to the Mannich reaction is the formation of sodium 2-nitrobutane-1-sulfonate [76794-27-9] by warming 1-nitropropane with formaldehyde and sodium sulfite (41). 

SuIfona.tlon, Sulfonation is a common reaction with dialkyl sulfates, either by slow decomposition on heating with the release of SO or by attack at the sulfur end of the O—S bond (63). Reaction products are usually the dimethyl ether, methanol, sulfonic acid, and methyl sulfonates, corresponding to both routes. Reactive aromatics are commonly those with higher reactivity to electrophilic substitution at temperatures > 100° C. Tn phenylamine, diphenylmethylamine, anisole, and diphenyl ether exhibit ring sulfonation at 150—160°C, 140°C, 155—160°C, and 180—190°C, respectively, but diphenyl ketone and benzyl methyl ether do not react up to 190°C. Diphenyl amine methylates and then sulfonates. Catalysis of sulfonation of anthraquinone by dimethyl sulfate occurs with thaHium(III) oxide or mercury(II) oxide at 170°C. Alkyl interchange also gives sulfation. 

A wide variety of products can be obtained by thioalkylation (42). The reactants ate usually an aldehyde, a thiol, and either a phenol, a sulfone, an amine, or a heterocychc compound. Phenols primarily react with formaldehyde in a process known as thiomethylation (eq. 26). Other types of reactions are depicted in equations 27 and 28. 

The kinetics of formation and hydrolysis of /-C H OCl have been investigated (262). The chemistry of alkyl hypochlorites, /-C H OCl in particular, has been extensively explored (247). /-Butyl hypochlorite reacts with a variety of olefins via a photoinduced radical chain process to give good yields of aUyflc chlorides (263). Steroid alcohols can be oxidized and chlorinated with /-C H OCl to give good yields of ketosteroids and chlorosteroids (264) (see Steroids). /-Butyl hypochlorite is a more satisfactory reagent than HOCl for /V-chlorination of amines (265). Sulfides are oxidized in excellent yields to sulfoxides without concomitant formation of sulfones (266). 2-Amino-1, 4-quinones are rapidly chlorinated at room temperature chlorination occurs specifically at the position adjacent to the amino group (267). Anhydropenicillin is converted almost quantitatively to its 6-methoxy derivative by /-C H OCl in methanol (268). Reaction of unsaturated hydroperoxides with /-C H OCl provides monocyclic and bicycHc chloroalkyl 1,2-dioxolanes. 

The classical structures of pyrrole, furan and thiophene (31) suggest that these compounds might show chemical reactions similar to those of amines, ethers and thioethers (32) respectively. On this basis, the initial attack of the electrophile would be expected to take place at the heteroatom and lead to products such as quaternary ammonium and oxonium salts, sulfoxides and sulfones. Products of this type from the heteroaromatic compounds under consideration are relatively rare. 

Nucleophilic substitution reactions that occur imder conditions of amine diazotization often have significantly different stereochemisby, as compared with that in halide or sulfonate solvolysis. Diazotization generates an alkyl diazonium ion, which rapidly decomposes to a carbocation, molecular nitrogen, and water ... 

In the case of substances whose structures are pH-dependent (e.g. phenols, carboxylic and sulfonic acids, amines etc.) it is possible to produce fluorescences or make them disappear by the deliberate manipulation of the pH [213] (Table 20). Shifts of the positions of the absorption and emission bands have also been reported. This is particularly to be observed in the case of modified silica gels, some of which are markedly acidic or basic in reaction (Table 25). 

McDowell and Stirling194 studied electronic effects upon the reactivity of aryl vinyl sulfones towards amines. Rate constants for t-butylamine addition in ethanol at 25 °C were well correlated by the Hammett equation, with p = 1.59. Comparison of this with p values for H-D exchange mentioned above191 suggested considerable carbanionic character in the transition state, perhaps in a concerted mechanism. Rates of addition of amines to alkenyl, allenyl and alkynyl p-tolyl sulfones have also been measured195. 

Addition of amines to a,/J-unsaturated sulfones has been used in synthesis of key intermediates of biotin. In this reaction, benzylamine serves first as a base in the reaction with 60 to afford thiophene 1,1-dioxide (61) and also as a nucleophile to introduce two amino groups (equation 57)49. 

The stereochemistry of the addition of amines to acetylenic sulfones has been investigated by Truce and coworkers74. Reaction of phenyl 1-propynyl sulfone with ethylamine gives a mixture of ( )- and (Z)-isomeric adducts (equation 90)75.
