Usage

Uses

Various 2,4-dimethoxyphenylsemicarbazones were synthesized starting from 2,4-dimethoxyaniline via a phenylcarbamate intermediate. The hydrochloride of 2,4-dimethoxyaniline was prepared by intro- ducing hydrogen chloride gas into an etheral solution and washing the precipitate with absolute diethyl ether.

Deacetylative Amination of Acetyl Arenes and Alkanes with C-C Bond Cleavage

The Br?nsted acid-catalyzed synthesis of primary amines from acetyl arenes and alkanes with C-C bond cleavage is described. Although the conversion from an acetyl group to amine has traditionally required multiple steps, the method described herein, which uses an oxime reagent as an amino group source, achieves the transformation directly via domino transoximation/Beckmann rearrangement/Pinner reaction. The method was also applied to the synthesis of γ-aminobutyric acids, such as baclophen and rolipram.

Selective synthesis of mono- and di-methylated amines using methanol and sodium azide as C1 and N1 sources

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 practical applicability of this tandem process was revealed by preparative scale reactions with different organic azides and synthesis of an anti-vertigo drug betahistine. Several kinetic experiments and DFT studies were carried out to understand the mechanism of this transformation.
