Henry condensation under high pressure 2. Effect of aromatic aldehyde type and pressure on the yield of ?-nitrostyrenes and secondary processes
摘要:
Condensation of aromatic aldehydes (I)-(XX) with EtNO2 and n-PrNO2 in AcOH in the presence of AcONH4 or i-BuNH2 gives primarily omega-nitrostyrenes (Ia, b)-(XXa, b) and small quantities of nitriles (Ic)-(XXc), oximes (Id)-(XXd), and ketones (Ie, f)-(XXe, f). The yields of (Ia, b)-(XXa, b) at P = 1 atm are higher for acceptor substituents on the aromatic ring whereas at P = 10 kbar, they are higher for donor substituents. High pressures suppress the formation of (Ic-f)-(XXc-f) and the Z-isomers of (Ia, b)-(XXa, b). The high pressure technique is especially useful in the preparation of donor-substituted (Ia, b)-(XXa, b) which are intermediates in the synthesis of the psychotropic beta-phenylethylamines.
The structures of 4-dimethylamino-beta-nitrostyrene (DANS), C10H12N2O2, and 4-dimethylamino-beta-ethyl-beta-nitrostyrene (DAENS), C12H16N2O2, have been solved at T = 100 K. The structure solution for DANS was complicated by the presence of a static disorder, characterized by a misorientation of 17% of the molecules. The molecule of DANS is almost planar, indicating significant conjugation, with a push-pull effect through the styrene skeleton extending up to the terminal substituents and enhancing the dipole moment. As a consequence of this conjugation, the hexagonal ring displays a quinoidal character; the lengths of the C-N [1.3595 (15) angstrom] and C-C [1.448 (2) angstrom] bonds adjacent to the benzene ring are shorter than single bonds. The molecules are stacked in dimers with antiparallel dipoles. In contrast, the molecule of DAENS is not planar. The ethyl substituent pushes the nitropropene group out of the benzene plane, with a torsion angle of -21.9 (3). Nevertheless, the molecule remains conjugated, with a shortening of the same bonds as in DANS.
