Primary tetradecenyl amines from the ant Monomorium floricola

, p. 801 - 802 (1996)
In contrast to other ants in the genus Monomorium that produce cyclic amines, extracts of Monomorium floricola contain (Z)-7-tetradecenylamine (1) and (Z)-9-tetradecenylamine (2). The structures of these compounds were established from their spectral data and by comparison with synthetic 2.

Fatty amine synthesis from renewable sources is an energetically-demanding process involving toxic metal catalysts and harsh reaction conditions as well as selectivity problems. Herein we present a mild, biocatalytic alternative to the conventional amination of fatty acids through a one-pot tandem cascade performed by a carboxylic acid reductase (CAR) and a transaminase (ω-TA). Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, with carbon chain lengths ranging from C6 to C18, were successfully aminated obtaining conversions of up to 96%.
