Rapid, one-pot synthesis of α,α-disubstituted primary amines by the addition of Grignard reagents to nitriles under microwave heating conditions

A series of α,α-disubstituted amines have been prepared in a simple and efficient one-pot procedure by the addition of Grignard reagents to a series of aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic nitriles. Key to this reported procedure is the unprecedented addition of the Grignard reagent to the nitrile under heating by microwave irradiation which both significantly improves reaction yields and reduces reaction times. In general, the Grignard addition reaction is complete within 5-10 min at 100 °C followed by rapid reduction with sodium borohydride to give the target amines.

Catecholamine surrogates useful as β3 agonists

Compounds of the formula STR1 or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof wherein: A is a bond, --(CH 2) n -- or --CH(B)--, where n is an integer of 1 to 3 and B is --CN, --CON(R 9)R 9'' or --CO 2 R 7 ;R 1 is lower alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl;R 2 is hydrogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, --CH 2 OH, cyano, --C(O)OR 7, --CO 2 H, --CONH 2, tetrazole, --CH 2 NH 2 or halogen; STR2 R 3 is hydrogen, alkyl, heterocycle or R 4 is hydrogen, alkyl or B;R 5, R 5'', R 8, R 8'' or R 8"" are independently hydrogen, alkoxy, lower alkyl, halogen, --OH, --CN, --(CH 2) n NR 6 COR 7, --CON(R 6)R 6'', --CON(R 6)OR 6'', --CO 2 R 6, --SR 7, --SOR 7, --SO 2 R 7, --N(R 6)SO 2 R 1, --N(R 6)R 6'', --NR 6 COR 7, --OCH 2 CON(R 6)R 6'', --OCH 2 CO 2 R 7 or aryl; orR 5 and R 5'' or R 8 and R 8'' may together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached form an aryl or heterocycle;R 6 and R 6'' are independently hydrogen or lower alkyl; andR 7 is lower alkyl;R 9 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, alkyl, cycloalkyl, arylalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl; or R 9 and R 9'' may together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a heterocycle; with the proviso that when A is a bond or --(CH 2) n and R 3 is hydrogen or unsubstituted alkyl, then R 4 is B or substituted alkyl. These compounds are beta 3 adrenergic receptor agonists and are useful, therefore for example, in the treatment of diabetes, obesity and gastrointestinal diseases.

Synthesis of amine derivatives

An amine of the formula, STR1 wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are each hydrogen, alkyl or the like and n is 1, 2 or 3, including α-phenyl-β-(p-tolyl)-ethylamine, which is useful as an optically resolving agent, an intermediate of medicines and the like, is effectively produced by a novel process comprising hydrolysis of the corresponding nitrile of the formula, STR2 wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and n are the same as above, followed by alkali-decomposition of the resulting amide of the formula, STR3 wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and n are the same as above. An amide including the above one is effectively produced by hydrolysis of the corresponding nitrile in the presence of a base and hydrogen peroxide using an organic quaternary ammonium salt and/or a tertiary amine as a catalyst.
