- Regioselective synthesis of heterocycles containing nitrogen neighboring an aromatic ring by reductive ring expansion using diisobutylaluminum hydride and studies on the reaction mechanism
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A systematic investigation of the reductive ring-expansion reaction of cyclic ketoximes fused to aromatic ringswith diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBALH) is described. This reaction regioselectively afforded a variety of five- to eight-membered bicyclic heterocycles or tricyclic heterocycles containing nitrogen neighboring an aromatic ring, including indoline, 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydrobenz[b]azocine, 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b] [1,4]oxazine, 2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]thiazepine, 1,2,3,4,5,6- hexahydroazepino[3,2-b]-indole, 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzothieno[2,3-b]azepine, 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzothieno[3,2-b]-azepine, 5,6-dihydrophenanthridine, and 5,6,11,12-tetrahydrodibenz[b, f]azocine. The reaction mechanism leading to the rearrangement was investigated on the basis of the restricted Becke three-parameter plus Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) density functional theory (DFT) with the 6-31G (d) basis set. It was found that the reaction proceeds through a three-centered transition state via a stepwise mechanism because the potential energy curve along the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) had twomaxima (saddle points; TS1 and TS2) and the partial phenonium cation intermediate C. In addition to cyclic ketoximes fused to aromatic rings, the reactions of various cyclic and acyclic ketoximeswere examined to investigate preference of migrating group. It was found that themore electron-rich group migrated preferentially to give the corresponding secondary amines.

- ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTIVE AMINATION. I. AMINATION OF ALIPHATIC KETONES BY PRIMARY AMINES
-
The reductive amination of aliphatic ketones in aqueous solutions of primary amines was realized by an electrochemical method.The best yields of the secondary amines were obtained at lead and cadmium cathodes in an aqueous electrolytic solution at pH 11-12.Elongation and branching in the carbon chain of the radicals both of the ketone and of the primary amine lead to a reduction in the yield of the secondary amine.The yield of the secondary amine is mainly determined by the rate of the chemical reaction leading to the formation of the azomethine compound, preceding the electrochemical reduction stage.

- ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTIVE AMINATION. II. AMINATION OF ALIPHATIC ALDEHYDES WITH PRIMARY AMINES
-
The formation of a secondary amine by the electrolysis of an aqueous solution containing an aldehyde and a primary amine was studied.The formation of the secondary amines passes through the intermediate stage of an aldimine.The highest yield of secondary amine is attained at a molar ratio of primary amine to aldehyde of 1.2:1.As electrode material lead, cadmium, zinc, and copper may be used.As supporting electrolyte a phosphate buffer with a pH close to the pKa of the primary amine is recommended.By the method developed 32 amines with various structures were synthesized.
