Synthesis of biphenyl anilines using iodo phenylformamides via a one-pot Suzuki coupling reaction

We have developed a novel and economical synthesis of biphenyl anilines via a one-pot Suzuki coupling reaction with iodo phenylformamides. This literature is an unprecedented approach to biphenyl anilines replacing costly aminophenylboronic acids with economical iodo anilines for the preparation of biphenyl anilines. It also provides a viable synthesis toward substituted biphenyl anilines where the required aminophenylboronic acids are not readily available.     

Selective Iododeamination of Electron-Deficient Anilines Using Task-Specific Nitrite- and Iodide-Based Ionic Liquids

A convenient and rapid method for the synthesis of aryliodides via the sequential diazotization–iodination of electron-deficient anilines using IL-ONO/[bmim]I is described. IL-ONO and [bmim]I were used as a nitrosonium source for diazotization of anilines and as a iodide ion source for subsequent iodination respectively. Electron-deficient anilines were efficiently and selectively iododeaminated in the presence of other anilines in good to excellent yields. This reaction can be regarded as a new method for the preparation of synthetically and pharmaceutically important iodoarens. Selectively iododeamination of electron-poor anilines in the presence of electron-rich anilines is one of the synthetically important advantages of this new method.     

TEH PHOTO-OXIDATION OF SIMPLE N-ALKYL ANILINES STUDIED BY FLASH PHOTOLYSIS

Abstract— The flash-initiated photo-oxidation of six simple N-alkyl tertiary, secondary and primary anilines was studied in aqueous solution by kinetic spectroscopy. Two transient species were observed with the tertiary anilines, but only one "transient" was observed with the secondary and primary anilines. Where possible, the kinetics of formation and decay of these transients was studied in detail. The formation of highly coloured products was observed on flashing the anilines in air-saturated solution and the variation of their colour with the pH of the solution was noted. Preliminary observations on the nature of possible blue products from the tertiary anilines were made. The results for thwe tertiary anilines are interpreted in terms of the mechanism previously for the photo-oxidation of HEMA.     

Fe2O3-supported nano-gold catalyzed one-pot synthesis of N-alkylated anilines from nitroarenes and alcohols

Here, we show the one-step synthesis of N-alkylated anilines from nitrobenzenes and alcohols catalyzed by nano-gold catalyst. The yields to N-alkylated anilines were ～90% under mild conditions. The mechanism of this reaction was explored. It shows promise for clean and simple synthesis of N-alkylated anilines.     

A new practical one-pot conversion of phenols to anilines

A novel one-pot synthesis of anilines from phenols was developed. Using this methodology, anilines are produced in good yield (86%) by a reaction of phenols with 2-bromo-2-methylpropionamide and NaOH in DMA via Smiles rearrangement. Phenols, which are substituted electron-withdrawing groups, are more reactive for Smiles rearrangement. Thiophenols are also converted to anilines. The process is a convenient, safe, and inexpensive method for large-scale preparation of anilines. [reaction: see text]     

Catalytic C-H amination with aromatic amines

Aniline joins the club: A β-diketiminato copper(I) catalyst enables C-H amination of anilines employing low catalyst loadings to preclude oxidation to the diazene ArN=NAr. Electron-poor anilines are particularly resistant towards diazene formation and participate in the amination of strong and unactivated C-H bonds. N-alkyl anilines also take part in C-H amination.     

Copper-Mediated monochlorination of anilines and nitrogen-containing heterocycles

A simple and selective copper(II) chloride-mediated monochlorination of anilines and nitrogen-containing heterocycles has been developed. Stirring a mixture of aniline, copper(II) chloride, lithium chloride in EtOH under reflux condition produced 4-chloroaniline with high yield. Eighteen substrates including substituted anilines, N-substituted anilines, N,N-disubstituted anilines, 5-nitroindole and carbazole were all reactive and afforded desired products in moderate to excellent yields (52%–98%).     

Fluorous-tagged carbamates for the pd-catalyzed amination of aryl halides

A novel fluorous-tagged ammonia surrogate has been synthesized and its application to the synthesis of anilines by Buchwald-Hartwig palladium-catalyzed amidation-hydrolysis protocol is described. Primary anilines were obtained in moderate to good yields after a sequence of two reaction steps involving fluorous separation techniques for their purification. Preliminary results indicate that N-substituted anilines can also be obtained using just N-substituted-FBoc carbamates as the nitrogen source.

Metal-free synthesis of allylic amines by cross-dehydrogenative-coupling of 1,3-diarylpropenes with anilines and amides under mild conditions

Dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction of primary anilines, secondary anilines, carboxamides, and sulfonamides with 1,3-diarylpropenes to form a series of allylic amines promoted by DDQ have been realized. Both monoallylation and diallylation products can be selectively synthesized when primary anilines are used as the starting materials. The method may provide a wide scope of allylamines in scientific research including biologically active compound library construction.     

Para-selective gold-catalyzed direct alkynylation of anilines

A method for the para-selective alkynylation of anilines is reported using AuCl as catalyst and triisopropylsilylethynyl-1,2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one (TIPS-EBX) as an electrophilic acetylene equivalent. Para-alkynyl anilines substituted at positions 2 or 3 were obtained in one step from simple anilines under mild conditions (room temperature to 60 °C) under air. The methodology could also be extended to the alkynylation of trimethoxybenzenes.     

Palladium-Catalyzed cross-Benzannulation of Aminoenynes with Diynes. Highly Regioselective Synthesis of Polysubstituted Anilines

Polysubstituted anilines were prepared by the palladium-catalyzed cross-benzannulation of conjugated aminoenynes 1-4 with diynes 8. The reaction proceeded in a highly regioselective manner under mild conditions, and the anilines were obtained as single regioisomers. Our method complements the well-known precedures for the preparation of polysubstituted anilines which are widely used in organic synthesis.

Selective Synthesis of Primary Anilines from NH3 and Cyclohexanones by Utilizing Preferential Adsorption of Styrene on the Pd Nanoparticle Surface

Dehydrogenative aromatization is one of the attractive alternative methods for directly synthesizing primary anilines from NH₃ and cyclohexanones. However, the selective synthesis of primary anilines is quite difficult because the desired primary aniline products and the cyclohexanone substrates readily undergo condensation affording the corresponding imines (i.e., N‐cyclohexylidene‐anilines), followed by hydrogenation to produce N‐cyclohexylanilines as the major products. In this study, primary anilines were selectively synthesized in the presence of supported Pd nanoparticle catalysts (e.g., Pd/HAP, HAP=hydroxyapatite, Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂) by utilizing competitive adsorption unique to heterogeneous catalysis; in other words, when styrene was used as a hydrogen acceptor, which preferentially adsorbs on the Pd nanoparticle surface in the presence of N‐cyclohexylidene‐anilines, various structurally diverse primary anilines were selectively synthesized from readily accessible NH₃ and cyclohexanones. The Pd/HAP catalyst was reused several times though its catalytic performance gradually declined.     

A study of the 15N NMR chemical shifts in substituted anilines and phenylhydrazines, and their derivatives

The analysis of (15)N chemical shift data from over a hundred anilines, N-methyl anilines, N,N-dimethyl anilines and phenylhydrazines with substituents in the phenyl ring leads to an empirical equation, delta(cal) = deltaon + Deltao + Deltam + Deltap, for calculating (15)N NMR chemical shifts of the amino group. This equation is based on a linear regression analysis using eighteen substituent parameters and leads to good conformity with the expected data.     

Synthesis of benzo-halogenated 4-hydroxy-2(1H)-quinolones

Malondianilides 3 derived from dichloro substituted anilines 2 undergo cyclization to afford 4-hydroxy-2(1H)-quinolones 4 in very good yields using methane sulfonic acid-phosphorus pentoxide as catalyst. 3,4-Dichloro anilines 5 can be shown to yield two isomers, 7 and 8 , whereas 3-substituted anilines 9 afford merely 7-substituted 4-hydroxy-2(1H)-quinolones 11.     

Reductive heterocyclizations via indium-iodine-promoted conversion of 2-nitroaryl imines or 2-nitroarenes to 2,3-diaryl-substituted indazoles

While N-(2-nitrobenzylidene)anilines produced mixtures of 2,1-benzisoxazoles and 3-anilino-2-aryl-2H-indazoles in the presence of indium and iodine in MeOH, N-(2-nitrobenzylidene)anilines were transformed into 3-anilino-2-aryl-2H-indazoles as the predominant major product through the change of the solvent from protic MeOH to aprotic THF. In an indium-mediated one-pot reductive reaction, 2-benzaldehydes and anilines in THF were also successfully transformed into the corresponding indazoles.     

One-pot reactions of nitroenamines with anilines and ethyl glyoxylate

In a simple, one-pot, catalyst-free procedure starting from heterocyclic nitroenamines, substituted anilines and ethyl glyoxylate new ethyl 2-arylamino-3-nitro-propionates were prepared in good to excellent yields. Depending on the substituent pattern of the anilines applied, two routes for the one-pot reaction are suggested. Additionally, it was demonstrated that these multifunctional compounds of aza-Morita–Baylis–Hillman type were also formed in two-step protocols either from imines and nitroenamines or from the adducts of nitroenamines and ethyl glyoxylate with anilines.     

Delocalisation,conformation and basicity of anilines

¹³ C spectra of some anilines $\text{1}$ and annelated anilines $\text{2}$ are reported. Variations in the chemical shift of the para carbon atom are used to estimate twist angles of the amino group. Results so obtained are compared to base strength. It is found that in twisted anilines a rough correlation between twist angle and base strength exists.     

Ruthenium‐catalyzed synthesis of quinolines via reductive heteroannulation of nitroarenes with 3‐amino‐1‐propanols

Nitroarenes are reductively cyclized with 3‐amino‐1‐propanols in dioxane/H₂O in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst and tin(II) chloride dihydrate together with isopropanol to afford the corresponding quinolines. A reaction pathway involving initial reduction of nitroarenes to anilines, propanol group transfer from 3‐amino‐1‐propanols to anilines, N‐alkylation of anilines by 3‐anilino‐1‐propanols and heteroannulation of 1,3‐dianilinopropanes is proposed.
