Production Methods

Allylamine is produced by reaction of allyl chloride with ammonia. The amine is also a natural constituent of foodstuffs (Shumkova and Karpova 1981; Mochalov et al 1981) and is present in wastewater from oil shale retorting (Daughton et al 1985).

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

Allylamine reacts violently with strong oxidizing agents and acids. Attacks copper and copper compounds [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 123]. Reacts with hypochlorites to give N-chloroamines, some of which are explosives when isolated [Bretherick 1979. p. 108].

Health Hazard

Acute: an eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritant, which is highly toxic if inhaled or ingested and moderately toxic if absorbed on skin. Ingestion or inhalation may cause death or permanent injury after very short exposure to small quantities. Skin absorption may cause irreversible and reversible changes. Toxic air concentration (TClo) in humans is 5 ppm over 5 minutes. Vapors are extremely unpleasant and may ensure voluntary avoidance of dangerous concentrations. Will irritate nose and throat at 2.5 ppm.

Health Hazard

Allylamine is a strong eye and respiratory tract irritant (Windholz et al 1983) and exposure to it causes transient irritation of mucous membranes of the nose, eye and mouth with lacrimation, coryza and sneezing (HSDB 1989). Exposure to 14 p.p.m. allylamine caused intolerable irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract (Grant 1974).

Fire Hazard

Flammable when exposed to heat, sparks, or flame. Vapor forms explosive mixtures with air over a wide range. Use caution when approaching fire and applying water. Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Can react with oxidizing materials. When heated to decomposition, Allylamine emits toxic fumes. Avoid oxidizing materials. Stable, avoid heating to decomposition. May become unstable at elevated temperatures and pressures or may react with water with non-violent release of energy.

Flammability and Explosibility

Highlyflammable

Safety Profile

Poison by inhalation, ingestion, intraperitoneal, and skin contact routes. Human systemic effects by inhalation: lacrymation and lung effects. A systemic irritant. Mutation data reported. A severe eye and skin irritant. Extraordnary precautions against fumes are advised. Dangerous fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidzers. Highly reactive. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical. See also ALLYL COMPOUNDS and AMINES.

Potential Exposure

Compound

Environmental Fate

Allylamine exposure results in myocardial damage and intimal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells in multiple animal species. The mechanism for these distinctive cardiovascular lesions is believed to be related to its bioactivation to acrolein and possibly hydrogen peroxide. Several lines of evidence support this hypothesis; SSAO is highly active in vascular tissue where allylamine predominantly distributes, incubation of homogenates of vascular tissue with allylamine results in the generation of acrolein and hydrogen peroxide,and pretreatment with a semicarbazide inhibitor of SSAO reduces or eliminates the hypercontraction and vasospasm associated with allylamine exposure in vitro. Researchers have taken advantage of the distinctive lesions that result from various exposures to allylamine and have used it as chemical tool to induce animal models of cardiovascular dysfunction that resemble human disease.

Metabolism

The uptake, tissue distribution, excretion and pharmacokinetics of a 450 mg/kg oral dose of [14C]-allylamine has been studied over a 2 h period in male Sprague-Dawley rats (Boor 1985). The amine was rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and quickly accumulated and then eliminated from tissues with a short halflife of less than 1 h that seemed to fit a one compartment model. The 14C-label was rapidly excreted in urine and no radioactivity was found in feces. Allylamine or its metabolites showed an unusual predilection for accumulating in elastic and muscular arteries with the highest radioactivity (5- to 10-fold higher than most other organs) occurring in the aorta. Radioactivity in all other tissues was generally much lower and fairly equal. At 5,10,15 and 20 min after an i.v. dose of [14C]-allylamine, 30 to 33% of the admitted radioactivity was localized in the aortas of adult Sprague-Dawley rats. By 30 min, 17% of the administered dose was still present in that tissue (Hysmith and Boor 1985). Upon differential centrifugation most of the radioactivity in the aorta was found to be localized in the mitochondria. Further in vitro investigations (Hysmith and Boor 1987) showed the specific binding of radioactivity from [14C]-allylamine to isolated rat aorta and heart mitochondria at both high affinity and low affinity binding sites. As much as 23 and 43% of the bound radioactivity was covalently linked to aorta and heart mitochondria, respectively. The monoamine oxidase B inhibitor, deprenyl, significantly reduced both the specific and covalent binding of radioactivity from [14C]-allylamine in phospholipase treated mitochondria while the benzylamine oxidase inhibitor, semicarbazide, had no effect on [14C]-allylamine binding. These results suggest that monoamine oxidase can convert allylamine to a highly reactive metabolite that selectively covalently binds to heart mitochondria and that this may explain the cardiotoxicity associated with this amine. In vitro studies show that allylamine is converted by homogenates of various rat tissues (heart, aorta, skeletal muscle, lung) to acrolein (Boor et al 1981; Nelson and Boor 1982). Conversion of allylamine to acrolein in human tissue was 58, 8 and 6% in aorta, myocardium and liver, respectively, while in the rat the percentages of acrolein formation were 95, 18, 9 and 5% in aorta, lung, skeletal muscle, and heart preparations, respectively (Boor and Nelson 1982). Purified bovine plasma amine oxidase and porcine kidney diamine oxidase converted allylamine to acrolein in vitro (Nelson and Boor 1982). Studies with selective inhibitors suggested that benzylamine oxidase is the active enzyme in oxidizing allylamine. Inhibition of benzylamine oxidase with either semicarbazide or phenelzine protected aortic smooth muscle cells from allylamine-induced cytolethal injury (Hysmith and Boor 1988). Inhibition of benzylamine oxidase markedly altered the subcellular distribution of radioactivity from [14C]-allylamine in aortic smooth muscle cells, with the administered radioactivity no longer being localized in the mitochondria. The sole urinary metabolite of allylamine in vivo has been identified as 3-hydroxypropylmercapturic acid (Boor et al 1987; Kage and Young 1972). Parallel experiments showed glutathione (GSH) depletion in several organs, the most marked occurring in aorta, blood and lung. These findings indicate that allylamine was metabolized in vivo to the highly reactive aldehyde, acrolein, which was subsequently converted to a mercapturic acid through a GSH conjugation pathway.

Inter- and intramolecular isotopic correlations in some cyanogenic glycosides and glucosinolates and their practical importance

Sinalbin is a complex organic salt from white mustard. The δ 13C- values of the aromatic parts of the anion glucosinalbin (p- hydroxyphenylacetic acid) and of the cation sinapin (sinapic acid) are identical (-32.2‰) and both aromatic compounds are depleted by 6.4‰ with respect to the glucose moiety (-25.8‰) bound in glucosinalbin. The δ 13C value of the choline part of the molecule can be correlated to its metabolic origin from glucose. However, there is an unexpected dramatic 13C- enrichment in the first C atom of glucosinalbin, originally the C-2 of tyrosine. This enrichment of approximately 11% relative to the mean value of the aglycone is found in the same position of four other glucosinolates and cyanogenic glycosides derived from phenylalanine or tyrosine. An isotope effect on the phenylalanine-ammonia-lyase reaction is discussed as the most probable cause for this finding. In contrast, sinigrin, the glucosinolate from black mustard, shows a relative 13C-depletion of 6.5‰ in the corresponding first C-atom of the aglycone allyl mustard oil. The proposed reason for this depletion is an isotope effect on an aldol reaction during the biosynthetic introduction of this C-atom into the aglycone skeleton. Synthetic allyl mustard oil is depleted by 14% in the same position relative to the δ 13C-value of the whole molecule, probably owing to an isotope effect on the first step of its chemical synthesis, the binding of allyl amine to CS2. This difference can be used to detect adulterations of mustard.

Parahydrogen-Induced Polarization Relayed via Proton Exchange

The hyperpolarization of nuclear spins is a game-changing technology that enables hitherto inaccessible applications for magnetic resonance in chemistry and biomedicine. Despite significant advances and discoveries in the past, however, the quest to establish efficient and effective hyperpolarization methods continues. Here, we describe a new method that combines the advantages of direct parahydrogenation, high polarization (P), fast reaction, and low cost with the broad applicability of polarization transfer via proton exchange. We identified the system propargyl alcohol + pH2 → allyl alcohol to yield 1H polarization in excess of P ≈ 13% by using only 50% enriched pH2 at a pressure of ≈1 bar. The polarization was then successfully relayed via proton exchange from allyl alcohol to various target molecules. The polarizations of water and alcohols (as target molecules) approached P ≈ 1% even at high molar concentrations of 100 mM. Lactate, glucose, and pyruvic acid were also polarized, but to a lesser extent. Several potential improvements of the methodology are discussed. Thus, the parahydrogen-induced hyperpolarization relayed via proton exchange (PHIP-X) is a promising approach to polarize numerous molecules which participate in proton exchange and support new applications for magnetic resonance.

An amine protecting group deprotectable under nearly neutral oxidative conditions

The 1,3-dithiane-based dM-Dmoc group was studied for the protection of amino groups. Protection was achieved under mild conditions for aliphatic amines, and under highly reactive conditions for the less reactive arylamines. Moderate to excellent yields were obtained. Deprotection was performed by oxidation followed by treating with a weak base. The yields were good to excellent. The new amino protecting group offers a different dimension of orthogonality in reference to the commonly used amino protecting groups in terms of deprotection conditions. It is expected to allow a collection of transformations to be carried out on the protected substrates that are unattainable using any known protecting groups.

Accessing Frustrated Lewis Pair Chemistry through Robust Gold@N-Doped Carbon for Selective Hydrogenation of Alkynes

Pyrolysis of Au(OAc)3 in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline over TiO2 furnishes a highly active and selective Au nanoparticle (NP) catalyst embedded in a nitrogen-doped carbon support, Au@N-doped carbon/TiO2 catalyst. Parameters such as pyrolysis temperature, type of support, and nitrogen ligands as well as Au/ligand molar ratios were systematically investigated. Highly selective hydrogenation of numerous structurally diverse alkynes proceeded in moderate to excellent yield under mild conditions. The high selectivity toward the industrially important alkene substrates, functional group tolerance, and the high recyclability makes the catalytic system unique. Both high activity and selectivity are correlated with a frustrated Lewis pairs interface formed by the combination of gold and nitrogen atoms of N-doped carbon that, according to density functional theory calculations, can serve as a basic site to promote the heterolytic activation of H2 under very mild conditions. This "fully heterogeneous" and recyclable gold catalyst makes the selective hydrogenation process environmentally and economically attractive.

O -Phthalaldehyde catalyzed hydrolysis of organophosphinic amides and other P(O)-NH containing compounds

Over 50 years ago, Jencks and Gilchrist showed that formaldehyde catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphoramidate through electrophilic activation, induced by covalent attachment to its nitrogen atom. Given our interest in the use of aldehydes as catalysts, this work was revisited to identify a superior catalyst, o-phthalaldehyde, which facilitates hydrolyses of various organophosphorus compounds bearing P(O)-NH subunits under mild conditions. Interestingly, chemoselective hydrolysis of the P(O)-N bonds could be accomplished in the presence of P(O)-OR bonds.

A metagenomics approach for new biocatalyst discovery: Application to transaminases and the synthesis of allylic amines

Transaminase enzymes have significant potential for the sustainable synthesis of amines using mild aqueous reaction conditions. Here a metagenomics mining strategy has been used for new transaminase enzyme discovery. Starting from oral cavity microbiome samples, DNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses were performed. Subsequent in silico mining of a library of contiguous reads built from the sequencing data identified 11 putative Class III transaminases which were cloned and overexpressed. Several screening protocols were used and three enzymes selected of interest due to activities towards substrates covering a wide structural diversity. Transamination of functionalized cinnamaldehydes was then investigated for the production of valuable amine building blocks.

Gold-Ligand-Catalyzed Selective Hydrogenation of Alkynes into cis-Alkenes via H2 Heterolytic Activation by Frustrated Lewis Pairs

The selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes is an important synthetic process in the chemical industry. It is commonly accomplished using palladium catalysts that contain surface modifiers, such as lead and silver. Here we report that the adsorption of nitrogen-containing bases on gold nanoparticles results in a frustrated Lewis pair interface that activates H2 heterolytically, allowing an unexpectedly high hydrogenation activity. The so-formed tight-ion pair can be selectively transferred to an alkyne, leading to a cis isomer; this behavior is controlled by electrostatic interactions. Activity correlates with H2 dissociation energy, which depends on the basicity of the ligand and its reorganization on activation of hydrogen. High surface occupation and strong Au atom-ligand interactions might affect the accessibility and stability of the active site, making the activity prediction a multiparameter function. The promotional effect found for nitrogen-containing bases with two heteroatoms was mechanistically described as a strategy to boost gold activity. (Graph Presented).
