Nitromethane with IBX/TBAF as a nitrosating agent: Synthesis of nitrosamines from secondary or tertiary amines under mild conditions
Potturi, Hima K.,Gurung, Ras K.,Hou, Yuqing
experimental part, p. 626 - 631 (2012/02/16)
Aliphatic or aromatic N,N-disubstituted nitrosamine was generated in fair to excellent yield from the reaction of a secondary or tertiary amine with o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) or o-iodosylbenzoic acid (IBA)/R4NX (X = halide) and nitromethane. The product yield was strongly influenced by both the halide of R4NX and iodanes. IBX gave a higher yield than IBA, while the halides follow F- > Cl- > Br- ～ I-. Nitrous acid formed in situ from nitromethane and IBX (or IBA)/halides is likely responsible for the observed reaction.

A study was carried out on the nitrosation of piperazine (PIP) and N-methylbenzylamine (MeBzAm) by N-methyl-N-nitroso-p-toluenesulfonamide (MNTS) in quaternary microemulsions of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTABr)/isooctane/alcohol/water, varying the nature and the concentration of the following alcohols: 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol and 1-decanol keeping the [1-alcohol]/[TTABr] = 4 relationship constant. In addition a study was carried out on the influence of the alcohol concentration, working with molar relationships [1-hexanol]/[TTABr] = 3, 4 and 5. On the basis of the molar volumes of the alcohol and surfactant and the concentration of alcohol at the interface it was possible to calculate the change in its volume with as varying compositions of the microemulsion. In order to interpret the experimental results a kinetic model was devised which takes into account the distribution of the reactants between the different pseudophases and the change in the volume of the interface. The rate constants at the interface of the microemulsion are lower than in pure water and are independent of the nature of the alcohol used as a cosurfactant and the molar relationship [alcohol]/[TTABr]. This independence indicates that the main role of the cosurfactant is to increase the volume of the interface with the consequent dilution of the reactants.
N-Alkyl-N-Cyclopropylanilines as Mechanistic Probes in the Nitrosation of N,N-Dialkyl Aromatic Amines

, p. 96 - 103 (2007/10/03)
A group of N-cyclopropyl-N-alkylanilines has been synthesized, and their reaction with nitrous acid in aqueous acetic acid at 0°C was examined. All compounds reacted rapidly to produce the corresponding N-alkyl-N-nitrosoaniline by specific cleavage of the cyclopropyl group from the nitrogen. The transformations were unaffected by the nature of the alkyl substituent (Me, Et, iPr, Bn). The reaction of 4-chloro-N-2-phenylcyclopropyl-N-methylaniline with nitrous acid gave 4-chloro-N-methyl-N-nitrosoaniline (76%), cinnamaldehyde (55%), 3-phenyl-5-hydroxyisoxazoline (26%), and 5-(N-4-chlorophenylmethylamino)-3-phenylisoxazoline (8%). Both the selective cleavage of the cyclopropyl group from the aromatic amine nitrogen and nature of the products derived from the cyclopropane ring support a mechanism involving the formation of an amine radical cation. This step is followed by rapid cyclopropyl ring opening to produce an iminium ion with a C-centered radical which either combines with NO or is oxidized.

Reactive nitrogen species, including nitrogen oxides (N2O3 and N2O4), peroxynitrite (ONOO-), and nitryl chloride (NO2Cl), have been implicated as causes of inflammation and cancer. We studied reactions of secondary amines with peroxynitrite and found that both N-nitrosamines and N- nitramines were formed. Morpholine was more easily nitrosated by peroxynitrite at alkaline pH than at neutral pH, whereas its nitration by peroxynitrite was optimal at pH 8.5. The yield of nitrosomorpholine in this reaction was 3 times higher than that of nitromorpholine at alkaline pH, whereas 2 times more nitromorpholine than nitrosomorpholine was formed at pH 2N·), which react with nitric oxide (·NO) or nitrogen dioxide (·NO2) to yield nitroso and nitro secondary amines, respectively. Reaction of morpholine with NO· and superoxide anion (O2·-), which were concomitantly produced from spermine NONOate and by the xanthine oxidase systems, respectively, also yielded nitromorpholine, but its yield was 2·- inhibited its formation. Reactions of morpholine with nitrite plus HOCl or nitrite plus H2O2, with or without addition of myeloperoxidase or horseradish peroxidase, also yielded nitration and nitrosation products, in yields that depended on the reactants. Tyrosine was nitrated easily by synthetic peroxynitrite, by NaNO2 plus H2O2 with myeloperoxidase, and by NaNO2 plus H2O2 under acidic conditions. Nitrated secondary amines, e.g., N-nitroproline, could be identified as specific markers for endogenous nitration mediated by reactive nitrogen species.
Pseudophase Approach to Reactivity in Microemulsions: Quantitative Explanation of the Kinetics of the Nitrosation of Amines by Alkyl Nitrides in AOT/Isooctane/Water Microemulsions

The kinetics of the nitroso group transfer from 2-ethoxyethyl (EEN) and 2-bromoethyl (BEN) nitrit+e to the secondary amines piperazine (PIP), N-methylbenzylamine (NMBA), and morpholine (MOR) in bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT)/isooctane(iC8)/water microemulsions were determined.They are explained quantitatively in terms of a model in which the reagents are distributed among the aqueous, organic, and AOT film surfactant, with the aqueous pseudophase and the surfactant film as the losi of the reaction.
Transfer of the Nitroso Group in Water/AOT/Isooctane Microemulsions: Intrinsic and Apparent Reactivity
Garcia-Rio, Luis,Leis, J. Ramon,Pena, M. Elena,Iglesias, Emilia
, p. 3437 - 3442 (2007/10/02)
The kinetics of the transfer of the nitroso group from N-methyl-N-nitroso-p-toluenesulfonamide to each of seven secondary amines (piperazine, N-methylbenzylamine, piperidine, dimethylamine, morpholine, pyrrolidine, and diisopropylamine) was studied using a wide variety of water/AOT/isooctane microemulsions as reaction media.The diverse kinetic behavior of the various amines can be explained quantitatively on the basis of a single model taking into account the distribution of the amine among the aqueous and isooctane phases and their mutual interface; the reaction itself always takes place at the interface.The relative reactivities of the amines are discussed in comparison with the order observed in water.
Reactivity of Nucleophilic Nitrogen Compounds towards the Nitroso Group
Garcia-Rio, Luis,Iglesias, Emilia,Leis, J. Ramon,Pena, M. Elena,Rios, Ana
, p. 29 - 37 (2007/10/02)
We discuss the reactivity of 43 nucleophilic nitrogen compounds towards the nitroso group of N-methyl-N-nitrosotoluene-p-sulfonamide (MNTS), and in some cases with alkyl nitrites.The series of nucleophiles considered is structurally very varied, includes members exhibiting the alpha effect, and covers 8 pKa units and a range of reactivities of almost five orders of magnitude.The values of solvent isotope effects and activation parameters have been measured and throw light on the structure of the transition states involved.Reactivities do not correlate well with thebasicity of the nucleophile, largely owing to the behaviour of primary amines, ammonia and nucleophiles with an alpha effect.Application of the curve crossing model suggests a relationship with vertical ionization potentials.The relationship with Ritchie's N+ scale is discussed, and interesting correlations with the reactivities of the same nucleophiles in various other chemical processes are noted.

A preparative nitrosolysis of aliphatic acyclic and cyclic tertiary monoamines to nitrosoamines was brought about by treatment with dinitrogen tetraoxide in carbon tetrachloride at 0-40 deg C.Dealkylation was restricted, where applicable, to demethylation.Competitive oxidation to an amide was observed in the formation of dibutylformamide from tributylamine.Diamine dinitrate salts, without nitrosamine formation, were obtained from 1,4-dimethylpiperazine and 1,4-diazabicyclo-octane; however, each dinitrate salt thermolysed at 180-200 deg C to give a small amount of 1,4-dinitrosopiperazine.In acetic anhydride dinitrogen tetraoxide converted amines less efficiently, gave lower yield of nitrosoamines, was less selective in dealkylation, and introduced the formation of by-products.
