Kinetics and mechanism of aliphatic amine oxidation by aqueous (batho)2CuII
摘要:
The kinetics of oxidation of a large series of aliphatic amines by the 'high-potential'' oxidant (batho)2Cu(II) (batho = 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthrolinedisulfonate) was studied under pseudo-first-order conditions (excess amine) in water or in 30% aqueous methanol (v/v) at 25-degrees-C over the pH range 7-11. The oxidations follow bell-shaped pH-rate profiles, with the low-pH leg reflecting the fact that only the free amine base is subject to oxidation and the high-pH leg representing conversion of (batho)2Cu(II) to an ineffective oxidant at high pH. The latter is thought to be (batho)Cu(II)(OH2)OH on the basis of the observed effect of [batho] on rate at high pH, and curve fitting of the rate data yielded estimates of the unitless K(eq) values governing this conversion. The variation in rate with degree of N-substitution and other structure-reactivity trends (such as the effect of ring size and the non-rate-retarding effect of 2,4,6-trimethyl substitution on PhCH2NR2) support a mechanism involving initial outer-sphere one-electron transfer, followed by proton transfer to the solvent, and then a rapid second one-electron oxidation to give imine/iminium product. Inner-sphere coordination of chelating amines shuts down the redox reaction, presumably as a consequence of displacement of the batho ligand(s) needed for high oxidant strength. Deuterium kinetic isotope effect (DKIE) measurements (i) comparing PhCD2N(CD3)2 vs PhCH2N(CH3)2 (intermolecular DKIE) and (ii) determining N-dealkylation preference in the case of PhCH2N(CH3)CD2Ph (intramolecular DKIE) suggest that the initial electron transfer is mainly rate-limiting. A rate comparison between erythro and three diastereomers of 1,2-diphenyl-2-piperidinoethanol indicates a stereoelectronic preference for one-electron oxidation at nitrogen when held antiperiplanar to a beta-hydroxyl. Stoichiometry studies using an excess of the Cu(II) oxidant reveal regioselective and chemoselective factors governing the overall amine-to-iminium oxidations.
Direct and selective synthesis of N,N-dimethylated amines from nitriles using methanol as C1 building blocks is reported using an air- and moisture-stable ruthenium complex. Following this process, various aromatic as well as aliphatic nitriles were converted to the corresponding N-methylated amines. Interestingly, tandem C-methylation as well as N-methylation was achieved by introducing multiple methyl
A Ru(II) complex mediated synthesis of various N,N-dimethyl and N-monomethyl amines from organic azides using methanol as a methylating agent is reported. This methodology was successfully applied for a one-pot reaction of bromide derivatives and sodium azide in methanol. Notably, by controlling the reaction time several N-monomethylated and N,N-dimethylated amines were synthesized selectively. The

green routes to access valuable chemicals is of significance. Herein, we present a green and novel route to synthesize N,N‐ dimethyl arylmethylamines (DAMAs) from hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) and aryl aldehydes in the presence of hydrogen, and a series of DAMAs can be obtained in good yields. This approach opens the precedent for HMTA as N,N ‐dimethylamine source to synthesize chemicals with N,N ‐dimethylamine
