- Electroactivated alkylation of amines with alcohols: Via both direct and indirect borrowing hydrogen mechanisms
-
A green, efficient N-alkylation of amines with simple alcohols has been achieved in aqueous solution via an electrochemical version of the so-called "borrowing hydrogen methodology". Catalyzed by Ru on activated carbon cloth (Ru/ACC), the reaction works well with methanol, and with primary and secondary alcohols. Alkylation can be accomplished by either of two different electrocatalytic processes: (1) in an undivided cell, alcohol (present in excess) is oxidized at the Ru/ACC anode; the aldehyde or ketone product condenses with the amine; and the resulting imine is reduced at an ACC cathode, combining with protons released by the oxidation. This process consumes stoichiometric quantities of current. (2) In a membrane-divided cell, the current-activated Ru/ACC cathode effects direct C-H activation of the alcohol; the resulting carbonyl species, either free or still surface-adsorbed, condenses with amine to form imine and is reduced as in (1). These alcohol activation processes can alkylate primary and secondary aliphatic amines, as well as ammonia itself at 25-70 °C and ambient pressure.

- Ruthenium-catalyzed N-alkylation of amines with alcohols under mild conditions using the borrowing hydrogen methodology
-
Using a simple amino amide ligand, ruthenium-catalyzed one-pot alkylation of primary and secondary amines with simple alcohols was carried out under a wide range of conditions. Using the alcohol as solvent, alkylation was achieved under mild conditions, even as low as room temperature. Reactions occurred with high conversion and selectivity in many cases. Reactions can also be carried out at high temperatures in organic solvent with high selectivity using stoichiometric amounts of the alcohol.

- PROCESS FOR PREPARING A CYCLIC TERTIARY AMINE
-
A process for preparing a cyclic tertiary amine of the formula I where A is a C4-alkylene group, a C5-alkylene group or a —(CH2)2—B—(CH2)2— group, where B is oxygen (O) or an N—R1 radical and R1 is C1-C5-alkyl, aryl or C5-C7-cycloalkyl, and the radical R2 is a linear or branched C2-C16-alkyl, C5-C7-cycloalkyl or C7-C20-aralkyl, in which (i) an amino alcohol II from the group consisting of 1,4-aminobutanol, 1,5-aminopentanol, aminodiglycol (ADG) and aminoethylethanolamine of the formula IIa where R1 is as defined above or hydrogen (H), in which case R1═R2 in the amine I, is reacted with a primary or secondary alcohol R2OH (III) at a temperature in the range from 150 to 270° C. in the liquid phase in the presence of a copper-comprising heterogeneous catalyst in a reactor.

- METHOD FOR PRODUCING N-MONOALKYL-SUBSTITUTED ALKYLENE AMINE
-
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an N-monoalkyl-substituted alkylene amine especially useful for uses such as medicine intermediates, agrochemical intermediates, urethane resin-foaming catalysts, surfactants and the like among alkyl-substituted alkylene amine compounds from an alcohol and an alkylene amine as raw materials. SOLUTION: This method for producing the N-monoalkyl-substituted alkylene amine is characterized by reacting the alkylene amine with a ≥2C alkyl alcohol in the presence of a copper-containing oxide catalyst system. The N-monoalkyl-substituted alkylenamine is produced in high conversion and in N-monoalkylation selectivity.

- Reaction of 1,2-dibromoethane with primary amines: Formation of N,N′-disubstituted ethylenediamines RNH-CH2CH2-NHR and homologous polyamines RNH-[CH2CH2NR]n-H
-
The reaction of primary amines RNH2 (R: Me, Et, iPr, tBu and Ph) with 1,2-dibromoethane gave N,N′-disubstituted ethylenediamines R-NH-CH2CH2-NH-R (1) in yields ranging from 10% (1a; R=Me) to 70% (1d, R=tBu; 1e, R=Ph). Pipe

- ALKYLATION OF ACYCLIC AND CYCLIC DIAMINES AND POLYAMINES
-
Alkylation of diamines and polyamines by allyl and methallyl chlorides or by chloropropenes has been used to obtain polyalkylpolyamines that had not been described previously.The alkylation of the polyamines by allyl and methallyl chlorides proceeds more energetically in comparison with the alkylation by ethyl chloride or chloropropenes.The alkylation of either cyclic and acyclic polyamines begins with the primary amino group.With increasing length of the chain and the alkyl radical at the nitrogen of the alkylated polyamines, their capability for reacting with the evolved hydrogen chloride drops off, and this leads to a decrease in yield of the desired products owing to the loss of activity of the original or partly alkylated polyamines.
