Synthesis aliphatic amines

The modified procedure involves refluxing the N-substituted phthaUmide in alcohol with an equivalent quantity of hydrazine hydrate, followed by removal of the alcohol and heating the residue with hydrochloric acid on a steam bath the phthalyl hydtazide produced is filtered off, leaving the amine hydrochloride in solution. The Gabriel synthesis has been employed in the preparation of a wide variety of amino compounds, including aliphatic amines and amino acids it provides an unequivocal synthesis of a pure primary amine. 

Two substituents on two N atoms increase the number of diaziridine structures as compared with oxaziridines, while some limitations as to the nature of substituents on N and C decrease it. Favored starting materials are formaldehyde, aliphatic aldehydes and ketones, together with ammonia and simple aliphatic amines. Aromatic amines do not react. Suitable aminating agents are chloramine, N-chloroalkylamines, hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid and their simple alkyl derivatives, but also oxaziridines unsubstituted at nitrogen. Combination of a carbonyl compound, an amine and an aminating agent leads to the standard procedures of diaziridine synthesis. 

The process can be still more simplified. It is not always necessary to use a pre-formed Schiff s base. Often it is sufficient to bring the carbonyl compound and the amine together in an inert solvent and to add the peracid to the mixture later, - In this way oxaziranes can be obtained in good yield even if the Schiff s base is unknown or can only be obtained in poor yield. For example, formaldehyde gives with aliphatic amines usually only trimers of the Schiff s bases (4). On the other hand, the synthesis of 2-cyclohexyl-oxazirane (5) from cyclohexylamine, formaldehyde, and peracetic acid proceeded in 66%... 

The synthesis of 3//-azepines by the photolysis of aryl azides in nucleophilic media is a much more efficient and versatile route than the thermolytic process. Initial studies involved photolysis of the aryl azides in an excess of a secondary aliphatic amine, and moderate yields of A, V-dialkyl-3//-azepin-2-amines 38 were obtained.35-1 72... 

The deoxygeneration of nitroarenes by trivalent phosphorus compounds in the presence of amines is a useful route to 3/f-azepin-2-amines (cf. compounds 32, Section 3.1.1.4.2.2.). Subsequently, it has been shown, by carrying out the reaction in strongly basic solution, that the process can be extended to the synthesis of 1H-. 3H- and 5//-2-benzazepines from nitronaph-thalenes 43 For example, 1-nitronaphthalenes 3 with dimethyl phosphite in the presence of sodium methoxide and a primary or secondary aliphatic amine, yield the dimethyl 5//-2-ben-zazepin-3-yl phosphonates 4 accompanied, in some cases, by the isomeric 3//-2-bcnzazepin-3-yl phosphonates 5. 

Carbenoid N-H insertion of amines with diazoacetates provides a useful means for the synthesis of ot-amino esters. Fe(III) porphyrins [64] and Fe(III/IV) corroles [65] are efficient catalysts for N-H carbenoid insertion of various aromatic and aliphatic amines using EDA as a carbene source (Scheme 16). The insertion reactions occur at room temperature and can be completed in short reaction times and with high product yields. It is performed in a one-pot fashion without the need for slow... 

Ammonia has always been the starting material for the synthesis of aliphatic amines. Thus, processes have been developed for the condensation of NH3 with alkyl halides (Hoffman reaction) or with alcohols in the presence of various catalysts. The latter reachon, first discovered by Sabatier in 1909 [8, 9] is nowadays the main method of industrial production of light amines (e.g. methylamines 600 000 t/yr) [5]. 

A variety of cleavage conditions have been reported for the release of amines from a solid support. Triazene linker 52 prepared from Merrifield resin in three steps was used for the solid-phase synthesis of aliphatic amines (Scheme 22) [61]. The triazenes were stable to basic conditions and the amino products were released in high yields upon treatment with mild acids. Alternatively, base labile linker 53 synthesized from a-bromo-p-toluic acid in two steps was used to anchor amino functions (Scheme 23) [62]. Cleavage was accomplished by oxidation of the thioether to the sulfone with m-chloroperbenzoic acid followed by 13-elimination with a 10% solution of NH4OH in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. A linker based on l-(4,4 -dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohexylidene)ethyl (Dde) primary amine protecting group was developed for attaching amino functions (Scheme 24) [65]. Linker 54 was stable to both acidic and basic conditions and the final products were cleaved from the resin by treatment with hydrazine or transamination with ra-propylamine. 

A different route proceeds by alkali fusion of the corrspondingly substituted naphthalic acid imide. This pathway parallels the synthesis of perylene tetracarboxylic acid diimide 70 (Sec. 3.4.1.1). The method is particularly suited to aliphatic amines.

Primary, secondary and tertiary aliphatic amines are efficiently converted to nitro compounds in 80-90 % yield with dimethyldioxirane, a reagent prepared from the reaction of oxone (2KHSO5-KHSO4-K2SO4) with buffered acetone. Dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) has been used for the synthesis of 1,3,5,7-tetranitroadamantane (71) from the corresponding tetraamine as the tetrahydrochloride salt (70) and is an improvement over the initial synthesis using permanganate anion (Table 1.7). ° Oxone is able to directly convert some aromatic amines into nitro compounds. 

The present procedure provides a facile and versatile synthesis, on large scale, of a variety of pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives without necessitating the use of moisture-sensitive organometallic reagents. The use of alcohols other than ethanol in the alcoholysis reaction provides virtually any desired ester. Ammonia or aliphatic amines readily give amides in high yields, and aqueous base can be used to give the free acid. 

The synthesis of 2-benzenesulfonylpyridazin-3(2//)-ones has been discussed in Section 8.01.5.5.4. They can be used to prepare A -alkylbenzenesulfonamides via reaction with aliphatic amines <2002JHC203>. 4,5-Dichloro-2-[(4-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]pyridazin-3(27/)-one proved to be useful for the preparation of carboxylic anhydrides from the corresponding acids in the presence of base in THF or CH2CI2 <2003S1517>.

Other Applications. Hydioxykmine-O-sulfonic acid [295043-8] has many applications in the area of organic synthesis. The use of this material for organic transformations has heen thoroughly reviewed (125,126). The preparation of the acid involves the reaction of hydroxylamine [5470-11-1] with oleum in the presence of ammonium sulfate [7783-20-2] (127). The acid has found application in the preparation of hydrazines from amines, aliphatic amines from activated methylene compounds, aromatic amines from activated aromatic compounds, amides from esters, and oximes. It is also an important reagent in reductive deamination and specialty nitrile production. 

As commented above, gold(I) complexes with aliphatic amines are relatively unstable, but the use of disulfonylamides as counterions allows the synthesis of stable bis(amine)gold(I) cations [86]. Specifically, compounds with cyclohexylamine, benzylamine, 3-iodobenzylamine, morpholine, pyrrolidine, and piperidine as the amine ligands and bis(methanesulfonyl)amide, bis(p-chlorobenzenesulfonyl) amide, bis(p-iodobenzenesulfonyl)amide and o-benzenedisulfonylamide as the... 

Alkene hydroamination has been known for many years, but has been little used as a method in organic synthesis. Tobin Marks of Northwestern recently published a series of three papers that will make this transformation much mote readily accessible. In the first (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125 12584,2003) he describes the use of a family of lanthanide-derived catalysts for intermolecular hydroamination of alkynes (to make imines, not illustrated) and alkenes. With aliphatic amines, the branched (Markownikov) product is observed, 1 — 2. With styrenes, the linear product is formed. When two alkenes are present, the reaction can proceed (3 —> 4) to form a ring, with impressive regioselectivity.
