The nitrous acid deamination of 1-octanamine (1) afforded mixtures of isomeric octenes, octanols, and octyl nitrites. The aggregation of 1.HClO4 in micelles induced the formation of dioctyl ethers and of 1-nitrooctane as additional products. In homogeneous solution (submicellar aqueous conditions or HOAc), [1-H-2]-1-octanol was obtained from [1-H-2]-1 with ca. 95% inversion of configuration. Above the critical micelle concentration, the enantiomeric purity of [1-H-2]-1-octanol decreased while [1-H-2]-1-nitrooctane was formed with ca.90% retention of configuration. 1-Octyl..NO2 radical pairs, rather than ion pairs, are likely to intervene on the retentive route to 1-nitrooctane and 1-octyl nitrite. Equilibration, via NO exchange, of (R)-[1-H-2]-1-octyl nitrite with the more abundant (S)-[1-H-2]-1-octanol is thought to account for the diminished ee of both products.
