Investigation of the reaction between sodium hydroxide and syn-and anti-isomers of 5-substituted 2-(4-chlorobutyryl)-aminobenzophenones oximes

By the reaction of syn-isomers of 5-substituted 2-(4-chlorobutyryl)aminobenzophenones oximes with NaOH syn-isomers of 5-substituted 2-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)benzophenones oximes were obtained. Similarly the anti-isomers of 5-substituted 2-(4-chlorobutyryl)aminobenzophenones oximes treated with NaOH underwent cyclization into anti-isomers of 5-substituted 2-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)benzophenones oximes. Crystal and molecular structures were investigated of the syn-isomer of 5-methyl-2-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)benzophenone oxime, the anti-isomer of 5-bromo-2-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)benzophenone oxime, and the syn-isomer of 5-methyl-2-(4-chlorobutyryl)aminobenzo-phenone oxime. The fragmentation features under the electron impact of syn-and anti-isomers of 5-substituted 2-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)benzophenones oximes are discussed.

Deoximation Reaction in Room Temperature Ionic Liquids under Mild Conditions

Deoximation in metal chloride ionic liquids based on 1‐alkyl‐3‐methylimidazolium and triethylene ammonium cations, such as AmimBr(Cl)‐MCl_x(A=ethyl, butyl, benzyl; M=Al, Fe, Cu, Sn and Zn; x=2, 3) and Et₃NHCl‐FeCl₃ were investigated under mild conditions. Ferrate chloride ionic liquid was proved to be an effective catalyst for deoximation of cyclohexanone oxime, exhibiting high conversion of oximes and selectivity to cyclohexanone. Good performance for the deoximation of other oximes such as salicylald oxime, acetone oxime, benzophenone oxime, 4‐nitrobenzald oxime, acetophenone oxime, 2‐chlorobenzaldehyde oxime, Acetald oxime, 2‐butanone oxime and (1R)‐camphor oxime was also achieved with bmimBr‐FeCl₃ as catalyst and solvent. The deoximation was determined to carry out via acid‐catalytic hydrolysis and the reaction mechanism was proposed.     

Electroreduction of aromatic oximes: diprotonation, adsorption, imine formation, and substituent effects

Aromatic oximes are reduced in aqueous solution in a four-electron process. The reducible species in the pH range 5-8 is a diprotonated form of the oxime. This species is generated in the course of electrolysis in the vicinity of the electrode surface from the adsorbed neutral form of the oxime. The reduction is initiated by a cleavage of the N-O bond. The diprotonation facilitates the reduction process by the preformation of OH2+ as a good leaving group and by a positive charge on the azomethine nitrogen. Diprotonation has been proven based on shapes of i = f(pH) plots, by observed shifts of half-wave potentials with pH and by comparison with the reduction of nitrones. Some observed deviations from theoretical i = f(pH) plots were attributed to the role of adsorption on the rate of protonation. Adsorption is also responsible for dips on some of the i-E curves. Adsorption plays a role at concentrations as low as 1 x 10(-5) M, when the electrode surface is still not fully covered. This indicates that catalyzed protonation occurs on islets of adsorbed materials. At pH 2-5 the studied oximes in the vicinity of the electrode are predominately present in a protonated form, which is less strongly adsorbed. In this pH range the protonation takes place in a homogeneous reaction layer of the electrode. It yields a monoprotonated form, which is reduced. The separation of two two-electron waves observed for some oximes in acidic media serves as an experimental proof of the formation of imines as reduction intermediates. This separation is caused by the differences in pKa values of protonated forms of oximes and imines. The effects of substituents in the para position on the benzene ring are characterized by correlation with the Hammett substituent constant sigmax. This has been proven at pH 1.5 for substituted benzaldehyde oximes and at pH 5.0 for substituted acetophenone oximes.     

Photochemical reactions of high polymers. XIV. Syntheses and photochemical reactions of copolymers bearing O-acyloxime groups

Copolymers bearing pendant O-acyloxime groups were synthesized by two methods: copolymerizations of oxime acrylate (methyl β-naphthyl ketone oxime acrylate or benzophenone oxime acrylate) and styrene, condensation of acrylic acid—styrene copolymer with oximes (benzophenone oxime, p-nitrobenzophenone oxime, methyl β-naphthyl ketone oxime, benzalacetone oxime or 9-fluorenone oxime). The photochemical behavior of the O-acyloxime copolymers changed markedly with the irradiation conditions: irradiation of benzene solutions led to degradation in air and crosslinking under nitrogen, while irradiation of solid films in air resulted in simultaneous degradation and crosslinking. Photolysis of methyl β-naphthyl ketone oxime acetate, a model for the O-acyloxime copolymer, in benzene solution under nitrogen resulted in scission of the N? O bond. The same reaction was observed in the irradiation of the O-acyloxime copolymers. It is suggested that formation of free radicals on the polymer chains via scission of the N? O bond is followed by decarboxylation. In the absence of oxygen, crosslinking of the polymer by recombination of the free radicals competes with degradation via β-scission. In the presence of oxygen, autoxidative degradation predominates.     

Small imines and oximes as model compounds in the optimization of a consistent force field potential energy function

Parameters have been optimized for a potential energy function to be used in molecular mechanics calculations of small imines as a preliminary step to calculations on larger systems. A consistent force field (CFF) program was used, and a new damping algorithm due to Sundius was introduced in the optimization procedure. Optimization of parameters has been done on structural and vibrational data of five small imines and one oxime. The quality of the derived potential energy function is examined by calculations on larger oximes.     

Charge-remote fragmentation and the two-step elimination of alkanols from fast atom bombardment-desorbed (M + H)+, (M + Cat)+, and (M - H)− ions of aromatic β-hydroxyoximes

Aromatic β-hydroxyoximes undergo unusual fragmentation reactions as protonated or cationized species, as radical cations, or as (M - H)^? ions, As protonated species, they expel OH ’ from the oxime functionality in violation of the even electron rule. Parallel eliminations of alkyl radicals follow OH’ loss when the aromatic ring is substituted with an alkyl chain. Alkyl radical losses appear to be characteristic of radical cations that can isomerize to ions in which the alkyl chain bears a radical site and the charged site is the conjugate acid of a basic functionality (e.g., oxime or imine). Evidence for the mechanisms was found in the ion chemistry of oxime and imine radical cations. The imine reference compounds were conveniently generated by fast atom bombardment-induced reduction of oximes, removing the requirement for using conventional chemical synthesis. Protonated imines and the (M - H)^? ions of oximes fragment extensively via charge-remote processes to eliminate the elements of alkanes. This chemistry is not shared by the protonated oximes.     

Beckmann rearrangement in benzophenone oxime,a mass spectrometric study

The isomerization of benzophenone oxime to benzanilide, previously observed to take place in the ion source of a mass spectrometer and attributed to a Beckmann type rearrangement of the benzophenone oxime molecule ion, has been shown to occur by a thermal mechanism prior to ionization. Mass spectrometric evidence is supplemented by infrared spectrophotometric examination of solid samples and shows that in the solid state, at room temperature, benzophenone oxime has a lifetime of about 600 h.

Current examples of practical and fundamental applications of DC polarography

Examples of recent applications—applied, analytical, and fundamental are given. For these types of applications, an understanding of at least the number of electrons and protons transferred and the sequences of electron transfers and chemical reactions is essential. Polarography can be used for the determination of the active component in tablets and injection solutions, where it offers speed and sensitivity of the analytical method. Electroactive species can also be determined in heterogeneous systems without pre-separation. This has been taken advantage of in the investigation of reactions of bile salts with heavy metal ions or of binding of pesticides and other toxins on lignin. Polarography can also be used in the investigation of alkaline cleavage of lignin under mild conditions. Kinetics of this cleavage was used as a tool in proving that humic acids are not natural products. Among fundamental applications belong proofs of limited delocalization in groupings >C=N–N=C<, of diprotonation of hydrazones and oximes at the electrode surface, as well as of formation of imines as intermediates in reductions of hydrazones and oximes. Simultaneous determination of benzaldehyde and its hydrazone enabled providing experimental evidence for formation of carbinolamines as reaction intermediates and interpretation of the pH dependence of the equilibrium constant of this reaction. Differences in hydration of three isomeric phthalaldehydes are discussed as well as the covalent hydration of 1,2,4- and 1,3,5-triazines and pyrimidines. The ω,ω,ω-trifluoroacetophenone oxime the C=N bond is covalently hydrated.Dedicated to Professor Dr. Alan Bond on the occasion of his 60th birthday.     

Heck‐Type Reactions of Imine Derivatives: A DFT Study

The mechanism of a recently discovered intramolecular Heck‐type coupling of oximes with aryl halides (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007 , 46, 6325) was systematically studied by using density functional methods enhanced with a polarized continuum solvation model. The overall catalytic cycle of the reaction was found to consist of four steps: oxidative addition, migratory insertion, β‐H elimination, and catalyst regeneration, whereas an alternative base‐promoted C? H activation pathway was determined to be less favorable. Migratory insertion was found to be the rate determining step in the catalytic cycle. The apparent activation barrier of migratory insertion of the (E)‐oxime was +20.5 kcal mol^?1, whereas the barrier of (Z)‐oxime was as high as +32.7 kcal mol^?1. However, (Z)‐oxime could isomerize to form the more active (E)‐oxime with the assistance of K₂CO₃, so that both the (E)‐ and (Z)‐oxime substrates could be transformed to the desired product. Our calculations also indicated that the Z product was predominant in the equilibrium of the isomerization of the imine double bond, which constituted the reason for the good Z‐selectivity observed for the reaction. Furthermore, we examined the difference between the intermolecular Heck‐type reactions of imines and of olefins. It was found that in the intermolecular Heck‐type coupling of imines, the apparent activation barrier of migratory insertion was as high as +35 kcal mol^?1, which should be the main obstacle of the reaction. The analysis also revealed the main problem for the intermolecular Heck‐type reactions of imines, which was that the breaking of a C?N π bond was much more difficult than the breaking of a C?C π bond. After systematic examination of a series of substituted imines, (Z)‐N‐amino imine and N‐acetyl imine were found to have relatively low barriers of migratory insertion, so that they might be possible substrates for intermolecular Heck‐type coupling.     

Analysis of oxosteroids by nano-electrospray mass spectrometry of their oximes

A method for the analysis of neutral oxosteroids by electrospray mass spectrometry is described. The oxosteroids are converted into their oximes by treatment with hydroxyammonium chloride in aqueous methanol. Intense peaks corresponding to protonated oxime molecules are observed in nano-electrospray mass spectra. The detection limits for the oximes of progesterone, pregnenolone and dehydroepiandrosterone were 2.5, 5 and 25 pg/microL, respectively, approximately 20 times lower than for the underivatised steroids. The signal intensities were proportional to the concentration of the steroids in the range of 500 to 2.5 pg/microL. Fragmentation by collision-induced dissociation (CID) was studied using oximes of 28 model steroids carrying an oxo group at C-3, C-17 or C-20. Some of the steroid oximes were labelled with deuterium or (15)N. Fragment ions were observed which yielded useful structural information. Upon CID, protonated oximes of 3-oxo-Delta(4)-steroids produced abundant ions by cleavage through the B-ring and by loss of the side chain, while protonated oximes of saturated 3-oxosteroids did not give abundant ions by cleavage through the B-ring. Protonated oximes of 20-oxosteroids unsubstituted at C-21, C-17 or C-16 produced a characteristic ion at m/z 86 containing the side chain, C-16 and C-17. Protonated oximes of steroids containing only a 17-oxo group gave fewer ions of diagnostic value. Coupled with the selective isolation of steroid oximes from a biological matrix this method of derivatisation and CID may be used for the analysis of neutral oxosteroids in biological samples.     

High-resolution mass spectra of anti- and syn-isomers of acylferrocene oximes

High-resolution mass spectra of anti- and syn-acylferrocene oximes were examined at various ionizing voltages and fragmentation patterns of the oximes are presented. Significant differences between the anti- and syn-isomers were found in the fragmentation behaviour of the low voltage (15 to 20 eV) spectrum of formylferrocene oxime.

Selective synthesis of allylated oxime ethers and nitrones based on palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution of oximes

[reaction: see text] The viability of oximes as nucleophiles in transition-metal-catalyzed allylic substitution was examined. The oxygen atom of oxime acted as a reactive nucleophile in the reaction of a pi-allyl palladium complex. In the presence of Pd(PPh3)4, the allylic substitution of oximes with allylic carbonate afforded the linear O-allylated oxime ethers selectively without a base. In contrast, the palladium-catalyzed reaction with allylic acetate proceeded smoothly in the presence of K2CO3 or Et2Zn as a base. Selective formation of nitrones was achieved by using palladium(II) catalyst. In the presence of Pd(cod)Cl2, the allylic substitution of oximes with allylic acetate afforded the N-allylated nitrones under solvent-free conditions, as a result of the reaction with the nitrogen atom of oximes.     

Zinc-mediated carbon radical addition to glyoxylic imines in aqueous media for the synthesis of alpha-amino acids

The addition of carbon radicals to glyoxylic imines was studied using zinc dust as a radical initiator. The zinc-mediated radical reaction of glyoxylic oxime ethers and hydrazones proceeded smoothly to give the alkylated products via a carbon-carbon bond-forming process in aqueous media. The reaction of the oxime ethers and hydrazones having an Oppolzer's camphorsultam group provided the corresponding alkylated products, which could be converted into enantiomerically pure alpha-amino acids. The diastereoselectivities observed in the reaction of hydrazones were better than those obtained in the reaction of oxime ethers.     

Influence of the structure of alkyl derivatives of salicylaldehyde oxime upon the extraction rate of copper from diluted acidic solutions

Individual pure alkyl derivatives of salicylaldehyde oxime were used for copper extraction using the short-time phase contacting method. The influence of the oxime structure upon the extraction rate and the surface activity was discussed. It was found that the reaction can proceed at the interface and in the bulk of the aqueous phase. The bulk-phase process is dominant for oximes having less than four carbon atoms in the alkyl group, while the interfacial process is dominant for oximes having more than six carbon atoms.

Methyketene,a minor but highly reactive byproduct in the pyrolysis gas of acetone

Methylketene was identified during the pyrolysis of acetone, and proved to be much more reactive than ketene : METHYL-β-LACTAMS were the dominant cycloaddition products when imines are reacted with the pyrolysis gas of acetone at ROOM TEMPERATURE.     

The nonaqueous potentiometric determination of commercial benzophenone oxime (LIX) extractants

A nonaqueous potentiometric method for the determination of substituted benzophenone oxime reagents (LIX) used as extradants in copper extraction processes is described. t-Butanol is used as the solvent and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide as the titrant. Endpoints are detected with a glass-modified calomel electrode system; a slow rate of titrant delivery is used near the inflection point. The syn and anti isomers of LIX reagents (substituted o-hydroxybenzophenone oximes) can be differentiated.
