Kinetics and mechanism of N-Boc cleavage: Evidence of a second-order dependence upon acid concentration

The kinetics of the HCl-catalyzed deprotection of the Boc-protected amine, thioester 2 to liberate AZD3409 1 have been studied in a mixture of toluene and propan-2-ol. The reaction rate was found to exhibit a second-order dependence upon the HCl concentration. This behavior was found to have a degree of generality as the deprotection of a second Boc-protected amine, tosylate 3 to yield amine 4 using HCl, sulfuric acid, and methane sulfonic acid showed the same kinetic dependence. In contrast the deprotection of tosylate 3 with trifluoroacetic acid required a large excess of acid to obtain a reasonable rate of reaction and showed an inverse kinetic dependence upon the trifluoroacetate concentration. These observations are rationalized mechanistically in terms of a general acid-catalyzed separation of a reversibly formed ion-molecule pair arising from the fragmentation of the protonated tert-butyl carbamate.

Kinetics of the reactions of tert-butanol with C2-C5 alcohols on sulfo cation exchangers

The kinetics of etherification of tert-butanol with aliphatic alcohols on gel KU-2×8 and macroporous KU-23 sulfo cation exchangers was studied. The first order of reaction with respect to tert-butanol and the -SO3H groups of a catalyst was established. The activation energy of the process observed on KU-2×8 was 60-95 kJ/mol. It was shown that the etherification of tert-butanol on KU-2×8 occurred in a surface layer. The reactivity of primary alcohols introduced into the reaction with tert-butanol increased with their molecular weights (C2-C5). The rate of reaction with secondary alcohols was lower than that with primary alcohols.

Specifics of the synthesis of some alkyl tert-alkyl ethers and their thermodynamic properties

The conditions of synthesis and isolation of pure (98-99%) and extra pure (>99.9%) alkyl tert-alkyl ethers containing six to eight carbon atoms in their molecule, which are used as high-octane additives to motor fuels, were studied. The key thermodynamic properties, including melting point, density, saturated vapor pressure, enthalpy of vaporization at 298.15 K, normal boiling point, and critical parameters, obtained by experimental and calculation methods, are given.
