Triethyl amine

Nitrous acid does not react with aliphatic tertiary amines, such as triethyl-amine, (CaHj)aN, nor does it usually react with aromatic tertiary amines such as triphenylamine, (CaHj)aN, which contain three aryl groups. 

AijAT-dicyclohexylcarhodiimide (DCC) also leads to essentially quantitative conversion of amic acids to isoimides, rather than imides (30,31). Combinations of trifluoroacetic anhydride—triethjlarnine and ethyl chi oroform a te—triethyl amine also result in high yields of isoimides (30). A kinetic study on model compounds has revealed that isoimides and imides are formed via a mixed anhydride intermediate (12) that is formed by the acylation of the carboxylic group of amic acid (8). 

Dimethylfarmamlde and triethyl amine were purchased from Baker (Baker Analyzed Reagent) and used without further purification. 

Butyraldehyde is supplied by Aldrich Chemical Co., Inc., and Eastman Organic Chemicals. The aldehyde was freshly distilled before use. Triethyl-amine was dried over potassium hydroxide pellets and distilled. 

The reaction times varied from 10 min to 18 hr. A=the correspondi ng phosphonii salt was used with the addition of two moles of triethyl amine. B=the corresponding phosphorane was used with the addition of one mole of triethylamine. 

C. Thiete 1,1-dioxide. A sample of 3-chlorothietane l,l-d1ox1de (8.0 g, 0.057 mol) Is dissolved In dry toluene (300 ml) (Note 7) In a 500-mL, twonecked, round-bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condenser, magnetic stirrer, heating mantle (or silicone oil bath), and thermometer. The reaction Is heated to 60° C and tri ethyl amine (28.7 g, 0.28 mol, 39,5 ml) Is added through the condenser. The reaction mixture Is stirred for 4 hr and triethyl-amine hydrochloride is removed by filtration and washed with toluene (100 mL), Toluene is removed on a rotary evaporator and the residue is recrystallized from diethyl ether-ethanol (Note 8) to give a white solid (4.5-4.8 g, 75-81 ) mp 49-50°C (llt mp 52-54°C). 

The addition of weak base (e.g. triethyl amine) to the reaction mixture gives a product having somewhat more of the 5j8-isomer than is observed in the neutral medium " but in strong base the 5j8-product is formed almost exclusively. This latter result is also obtained with other substituents on the molecule (however, cf. below) and even occurs on hydrogenation of dienones and trienones incorporating the A -3-keto entity. 

Figure 13.21 shows the resolution of a dozen polymer additives at very high resolution using chloroform as the mobile phase. Tinuvin 622 will elute in pure chloroform whereas Chimassorb 944 and many other hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) will not. With the addition of 1% triethyl amine to the chloroform, however, virtually all HALS will elute. 

The reaction with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of a proton abstracter like triethyl amine gave not the enamine, but a cyclic amino-sulfone (64). 

Dienamines undergo 1,4 cycloaddition with sulfenes as well as 1,2 cycloaddition. For example, l-(N,N-diethylamino)butadiene (111), when treated with sulfene (generated from methanesulfonyl chloride and triethyl-amine), produces 1,4 cycloadduct 116 in an 18 % yield and di-1,2-cycloadduct 117 in a 60 % yield (160). Cycloadduct 116 was shown not to be the precursor for 117 by treating 116 with excess sulfene and recovering the starting material unchanged (160). This reaction probably takes place by way of zwitterion 115, which can close in either a 1,4 or 3,4 manner to form cycloadducts 116 and 118, respectively. The 3,4 cycloaddition would then be followed by a 1,2 cycloaddition of a second mole of sulfene to form 117. Cycloadduct 117 must form in the 3,4 cycloaddition followed by a 1,2-cycloaddition sequence rather than the reverse sequence since sulfenes undergo cycloaddition only in the presence of an electron-rich olefinic center (159). Such a center is present as an enamine in 118, but it is not present in 119. 

Tosylates are generally formed from an amine and tosyl chloride in an inert solvent such as CH2CI2 with an acid scavenger such as pyridine or triethyl-amine, They may also be prepared using the Schotten-Baumann reaction. 

The method developed for preparation of telluradiazines 89 was applied to the synthesis of benzo derivatives of l-oxa-2-tellura-6-azacycloocta-3,5-diene 100 (99UP2). It involves dehydrobromination of bromotellurenylvinylaldimines 101, obtained by condensation of 2-methyldibromotellurocyclohexenealdehyde with o-aminophenols. Under a treatment of benzene suspension of 101 with triethyl-amine followed by short-term refluxing the reaction mixture the heterocycles 100 were obtained in 71-87% yields. 

The pH was adjusted to 3.3 with triethylamine and semicarbazide hydrochloride (9.5g) added. The mixture was brought back to pH 3 with further triethylamine, then stirred for 30 minutes at pH 3. The resultant mixture was adjusted slowly over 4 hours to pH 6.8 by addition of triethyl amine, seeding being carried out when pH 4.5 was reached. The precipitated cephalexin was filtered off, washed with dimethylformamide (200 ml) and the cephalexin recovered, yield 75%,... 

Over a period of hours, 1.65 g lithium (3.27 eq) is added in small portions until a permanent blue color is obtained. The blue reaction mixture is then treated with 38 g of triethyl-amine hydrochloride. The ammonia is allowed to evaporate at room temperature overnight and the residual solvent is evaporated at reduced pressure. The white residue is taken up in a small amount of methanol-water and added to 4 liters of cold 1 1 chloroform-acetone to precipitate the crude product. After 20 minutes stirring the suspension is filtered and the while filler cake dried in vacuo the filler cake is then pulverized and submitted once more to the precipitation process from 1 1 chloroform-acetone. 

The ureas, e.g. 28 (R = NMe2), derived from the corresponding 2-(l-arylviny )benzylamines by reaction with (dimethylamino)carbamoyl chloride (Me2NCOCl) in the presence of triethyl-amine, undergo cyclization in refluxing phosphoryl chloride to the 5-aryl-3-(dimethylamino)-l//-2-benzazepin-3-amines. e.g. 29a.84 Prepared similarly are the 3-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl) compound 29b and the 3-methyl derivative 29c from the corresponding urea and amide, respectively. 

This residue is stirred at room temperature while 150 ml. of triethyl-amine [Ethanamine, A,A-diethyl] (Note 8) is added. Tricthylamine hydrobromide begins to precipitate soon after the addition is started, and the resulting slurry is refluxed gently for 15 minutes. It is then cooled to room temperature, and the insoluble material is removed by filtration and washed with benzene. Concentration of the combined filtrates under reduced pressure leaves an oily residue, which is dissolved in 600 ml. of ether. The ethereal solution is transferred to a 1-1. separatory funnel, washed with two 20-ml. portions of saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtered. Ether is removed with a rotary evaporator, and the resulting oil is distilled at reduced pressure. A forerun of 265 mg. is collected below 103° (22 mm,), and then 6.7 g. (70%) of 2A-pyran-2-one distils as a colorless oil, b.p. 103-111° (19-22 mm.) (Note 9). 

Solvent effects" on the rate of reaction between triethyl-amine and ethyl iodide... 

Phenylsulphine prepared in situ from phenylmethanesulphinyl chloride and triethyl-amine reacted with 1 -morpholinocyclohexene to form the addition product 169 having the enamine structure218. A similar experiment with phenylsulphine and 2-pyrrolidinocyclo-hexene gave only 2-phenylmethanesulphinyl cyclohexanone 170. The latter is most probably formed by hydrolysis of the corresponding enamine sulphoxide upon isolation. The reaction of sulphines with enamines is apparently a stepwise process involving the transient formation of the dipolar intermediate 171 which is stabilized by proton transfer, giving the enamine sulphoxide. 

Phosphoric acid diesters are prepared by treating a liquid slurry of phosphate monoester with epoxides in the presence of alkali compounds. Thus a mixture of monolauryl phosphate sodium salt and triethyl amine in water was treated with glycidol at 80°C for 8 h to give 98% lauryl(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)phosphate sodium salt [13]. 

The mechanism of the polymerization of NCA with tertiary amine is still controversial. Mori and Iwatsuki claim that the true initiator is the primary amino group formed by hydrolysis of the NCA with contaminated water and that tertiary amine forms a complex with the NCA and accelerates the addition reaction37 . Harwood et al. confirmed the propagating carbamate by NMR in polymerization initiated with a strong base37 . The successive addition of NCA to the polymer end catalyzed with a strong base affords an alternative procedure for the synthesis of block copolypeptides. Block copolypeptides of poly(oxyethylene) were prepared by triethyl amine catalyzed polymerization of NCA in the presence of poly(oxyethylene)bis-eMoroformate38 . 

Poly (ethylene oxide) macromonomers72 761 are made in a similar way, as the alkoxide end group is reactive enough towards benzylic halides. With methacryloyl chloride, side reactions are involved. It is better to first protonate the PEO, and then to have it react with methacryloyl chloride in the presence of some triethyl amine. One can also react co-hydroxy polyethylene oxide) with methacryloyl imidazole, or with methacrylic acid in the presence of dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCCf)77). 

The Suzuki reaction has been successfully used to introduce new C - C bonds into 2-pyridones [75,83,84]. The use of microwave irradiation in transition-metal-catalyzed transformations is reported to decrease reaction times [52]. Still, there is, to our knowledge, only one example where a microwave-assisted Suzuki reaction has been performed on a quinolin-2(lH)-one or any other 2-pyridone containing heterocycle. Glasnov et al. described a Suzuki reaction of 4-chloro-quinolin-2(lff)-one with phenylboronic acid in presence of a palladium-catalyst under microwave irradiation (Scheme 13) [53]. After screening different conditions to improve the conversion and isolated yield of the desired aryl substituted quinolin-2( lff)-one 47, they found that a combination of palladium acetate and triphenylphosphine as catalyst (0.5 mol %), a 3 1 mixture of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) and water as solvent, triethyl-amine as base, and irradiation for 30 min at 150 °C gave the best result. Crucial for the reaction was the temperature and the amount of water in the... 

These oxazolidinones can be acylated and converted to the lithium, boron, tin, or titanium enolates by the same methods applicable to ketones and esters. For example, when they are converted to boron enolates using di-n-butylboron triflate and triethyl-amine, the enolates are the Z-stereoisomers.125... 

Use of triethyl amine affords exclusively geminal product.

Experimental Preparation of 6-nitrospiropyran 2 (R = Bu). Triethyl-amine (2.65 g, 26 mmol) was added to a suspension of 2,3,3-trimethyl-7V-butylindolinium iodide (9.0 g, 26 mmol) and 5-nitro-salicylaldehyde (4.38 g, 26 mmol) in EtOH (100 ml) under stirring. The mixture was refluxed for 2 h, and filtered off. Recrystallization from hexane gave 6-nitrospiropyran 2 (R = Bu). Also, spiropyran 2 was isolated from the filtrate, which was evaporated under reduced pressure and then was chromatographed on silica gel with dichloromethane-methanol (60 1 v/v). Total yield of 2 (8.3 g) is 88%.
