A New Method to Synthesize Polytitanosilazane as Ceramic Precursor

A new kind of polytitanosilazane precursor PTSZ for Si/C/N/Ti-based ceramic was synthesized from the condensation reaction of silazane lithium salt and titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4). The results indicated that the ceramic yield of PTSZ was much higher than that of corresponding silazane oligomer.     

Ammonolysis and aminolysis reactions of dichlorodimethylsilane

The final composition of the products of ammonolysis of aminolysis of dichlorodimethylsilane depends on the reaction temperature, the concentration of the starting materials the nature of the solvent and of the organic groups bonded to silicon and to nitrogen. When dichlorodimethylsilane in excess reacts with methylamine, the condensation of the Si-Cl and Si-NH₂ groups to give the silazane bond is the basic reaction. The rate of the reaction is decreased by an increase of the length of the organic radicals on silicon or nitrogen. In the ammonolysis or aminolysis of organochlorosilanes with small organic groups the ratio of the rates of halogen displacement by amine and of condensation is the factor which determines whether aminosilanes or silazanes are formed. The yield of silazane falls as the difference in rates increases.     

Glycerol Boosted Rh-Catalyzed Hydroaminomethylation Reaction: A Mechanistic Insight

We report a Rh-catalyzed hydroaminomethylation reaction of terminal alkenes in glycerol that proceeds efficiently under mild conditions to produce the corresponding amines in relatively high selectivity towards linear amines, moderate to excellent yields by using a low catalyst loading (1 mol % [Rh], 2 mol % phosphine) and relative low pressure (H₂/CO, 1:1, total pressure 10 bar). This work sheds light on the importance of glycerol in enabling enamine reduction via hydrogen transfer. Moreover, evidence for the crucial role of Rh as chemoselective catalyst in the condensation step has been obtained for the first time in the frame of the hydroaminomethylation reaction by precluding deleterious aldol condensation reactions. The hydroaminomethylation proceeds under a molecular regime; the outcome of catalytically active species into metal-based nanoparticles renders the catalytic system inactive.     

General molecular weight-lowering side reaction in the thermal condensation of aromatic methyl esters with aromatic amines and hydrazides

The direct thermal condensation of aromatic methyl esters with aromatic amines and hydrazides was studied. Using model compounds, it was learned that N-methylation of amines (both aromatic and aliphatic) and hydrazides is inherent at temperatures required for condensation polymerization. This side reaction prevents attainment of high molecular weight polyamides, polyhydrazides, or polyoxadiazoles from the corresponding difunctional aromatic monomers by heat alone. Reported catalysts for the condensation reaction do not prevent the side reaction.

Synthesis of 11C-amides using [11C]carbon monoxide and in situ activated amines by palladium-mediated carboxaminations

[11C]Carbon monoxide at low concentrations, aryl halides and amines were used in the palladium-mediated synthesis of twenty 11C-amides. In the study several approaches to improve the radiochemical yield were explored. Eight of the selected amides were prepared by in situ activation of the amines using lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide and the radiochemical yields of these reactions were improved compared to utilising a previous reported method. In the synthesis of 1-[carbonyl-11C]benzoyl-3-methyl-1H-indole (11) from 3-methyl-1H-indole (25), the corresponding organotin-amine was prepared prior to the acylation reaction. In a typical experiment, N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)[carbonyl-11C]acetamide (5) was prepared in 15% radiochemical yield using 4-aminophenol (20) but the yield increased to 63% when the amine was activated by lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide.     

Aspects of epoxy resin curing reactions

The progress that has been made in establishing the mechanism of the curing reaction between epoxides and amines, particularly through the use of calorimetric methods (DSC), is discussed. A novel application of tritium-labelled compounds to the study of the reaction of epoxides with imidazoles is also presented. The radiochemical method has produced an enhanced understanding of the reaction mechanism and has given kinetic data in good agreement with DSC measurements.     

Aryl triflates and [11C]/(13C)carbon monoxide in the synthesis of 11C-/13C-amides

Palladium(0)-mediated carbonylation reactions using aryl triflates, amines, and a low concentration of [(11)C]carbon monoxide were used in the syntheses of 13 (11)C-labeled amides. Lithium bromide was used as an additive to facilitate the reaction. The (11)C-labeled products were obtained with decay-corrected radiochemical yields in the range of 2-63%. The radiochemical purity of the final products exceeded 98%. As an example, a reaction starting with 1.79 GBq [(11)C]carbon monoxide gave 0.38 GBq of LC-purified N-isopropyl-4-nitro-[(11)C]benzamide within 27 min from the start of the carbonylation reaction (54% decay-corrected radiochemical yield). The specific radioactivity of this compound was 191 GBq/micromol, 35 min after the end of a 10 microAh bombardment. N-Benzylisoquinoline-1-((13)C)carboxamide was prepared and analyzed by NMR for confirmation of the labeling position. The triflates 16, 20, 21, and 22 were synthesized from the corresponding alcohols and trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride. The reference compounds 30a and 30b were prepared from the corresponding carboxylic acids and benzylamine. The other nine reference compounds 32a to 32i were synthesized from the respective acid chlorides and amines. The presented report shows that the sometimes more easily obtainable aryl triflates can be a useful alternative to the commonly used aryl halides in palladium(0)-mediated synthesis of (11)C/(13)C-amides.     

Hydridosilazanes hydrolysis-condensation reactions studied by <Superscript>1</Superscript>H and <Superscript>29</Superscript>Si liquid NMR spectroscopy

Hydridosilazane compounds containing Si–N and Si–H bonds can be used as precursors of SiO_x materials. The hydrolysis-condensation reactions of tetramethyldisilazane, as a polyhydridosilazane model compound, were investigated by ¹H and ²⁹Si liquid NMR spectroscopy. These reactions were carried out at room temperature for up to 120 min in presence of water. The identified products are short linear siloxane species (hydride terminated polydimethylsiloxanes M^HD_xM^H) and cyclosiloxanes. Silicon hydride persistence in the reactional mixture suggested that silazane group is more sensitive to hydrolysis reaction than silicon hydride group. Moreover, additional experiments evidenced that the low steric hindrance of the silicon hydride influences the silazane hydrolysis kinetic. Hence the presence of ammonia released during silazane hydrolysis reaction was demonstrated to be a catalyst of the silicon hydride hydrolysis reaction.     

Reaction of ethyl acetoacetate with formaldehyde and primary amines

The condensation of ethyl acetoacetate with formaldehyde and primary amines in methanol at 65°C (Mannich reaction) gave up to 92% of hexahydropyrimidine derivatives containing ester and acetyl groups. Analogous reaction with aminopyridines stopped at the stage of formation of linear condensation products.     

Branched Tertiary Amines from Aldehydes and α-Olefins by Combined Multiphase Tandem Reactions

This study presents the transformation of olefins to branched amines by combining a hydroformylation/aldol condensation tandem reaction with the reductive amination in a combined multiphase system that can be recycled 9 times. The products are branched amines that are precursors for surfactants. Since the multiphase hydrofomylation/aldol condensation system has already been studied, the first step was to develop the partial hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes together with a subsequent reductive amination. The rhodium/phosphine catalyst is immobilized in a polar polyethylene phase which separates from the product phase after the reaction. Reaction and catalyst recycling are demonstrated by the conversion of the C₁₄-aldehyde 2-pentylnonenal with the dimethylamine surrogate dimethylammonium dimethylcarbamate to the corresponding tertiary amine with yields up to 88 % and an average rhodium leaching of less than 0.1 % per recycling run. Furthermore, the positive influence of a Bronsted acid and carbon monoxide on the selectivity are discussed. Finally, the two PEG based systems have been merged in one recycling approach, by using the product phase of the hydroformylation aldol condensation reaction for the reductive amination reaction. The yields are stable during a nine recycling runs and the leaching low with 0.09 % over the two recycling stages.     

Novel aluminum hydride derivatives from the reaction of H(3)Al.NMe(3) with the cyclosilazanes

The amine hydrogen atoms of the cyclic trimeric silazane [Me(2)SiNH](3) are readily replaced by the H(2)Al. NMe(3) group in a simple aminolyis reaction of [Me(2)SiNH](3) with H(3)Al.NMe(3) to afford the aluminum amides (Me(2)SiNAlH(2).NMe(3))(n)(Me(2)SiNH)(3-n) (1, n = 3; 2, n = 1; 4, n = 2). The monosubstituted amide 2 could not be isolated, because it undergoes condensation to the tricyclic compound 1,1',2,2'-(HAlNMe(3))(2) (3). Contrary to these results the analogous reactions of the more flexible cyclic tetrameric silazane [Me(2)SiNH](4) with H(3)Al.NMe(3) did not give simple aluminum amides, but complicated mixtures were obtained from which the interesting polycyclic species Al(5)C(22)H(73)N(10)Si(8).C(6)H(6) (5) and Al(6)C(22)H(76)N(10)Si(8).1/4 C(6)H(14) (6) could be isolated in low yields. A key step in the formation of 5 and 6 is a low-temperature dehydrosilylation reaction which leads to cleavage of the silazane ring. Compounds 1, 3, and 4 were characterized spectroscopically ((1)H, (13)C, (27)Al NMR and FTIR) and by single crystal X-ray diffraction, whereas 5 and 6 were characterized by X-ray diffraction only. Thermolysis experiments involving 1 and 3 indicate that the onset of Al-N bond formation via dehydrosilylation is accompanied by loss of trimethylamine and formation of larger aggregates, which are stable to further silane elimination to at least 620 degrees C.     

A Radiochemical Study of Reactions of Diethylsilylium Ions with Trimethyl(<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butylamino)silane in Gas and Liquid Phases

The reaction of diethylsilylium ions with trimethyl(tert-butylamino)silane in gas and liquid phases was studied radiochemically. In contrast to the reactions of carbocations with amines, with diethylsilylium ions the proton transfer channel is not realized at all. As in the reactions of diethylsilylium ions with benzene, alcohols, and ethers, the reaction with the aminosilane is accompanied by rearrangement of the silylium ion. Formation of the condensation complex with trimethyl(tert-butylamino)silane is complicated by both its geometry and electron density distribution, despite the fact that formation of the condensation complex in this case is more exothermic than with the nucleophiles studied previously (benzene, alcohol, ether).__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 1, 2005, pp. 77–81.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Kochina, Vrazhnov, Sinotova, Ignat’ev.     

Magnesium perchlorate as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of imines and phenylhydrazones

Magnesium perchlorate has been found to be an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of imines and phenylhydrazones by the reaction of carbonyl compounds with amines and phenylhydrazine in high yields at room temperatures and in short times. The condensation of less electrophilic carbonyl compounds with poorly nucleophilic amines affords the imines in excellent yields.

The chemistry of trityl isoselenocyanate revisited: A preparative and structural investigation

The reaction of trityl chloride with KSeCN gives trityl isoselenocyanate which was structurally characterised by X-ray diffraction. Trityl isoselenocyanate reacts with hydrazine to give trityl selenosemicarbazide and with primary amines to give selenourea derivatives. However, with secondary amines mixtures of selenoureas and substitution products are formed. Trityl selenosemicarbazide undergoes a condensation reaction with salicylaldehyde to give the corresponding trityl selenosemicarbazone. In the case of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde, the analogous selenosemicarbazone cannot be isolated, instead a small quantity of the diselenide was isolated from the reaction mixture. The compounds prepared here were fully characterised spectroscopically and several also by X-ray diffraction.     

Synthesis of [11C]/(13C)amines via carbonylation followed by reductive amination

Twelve 11C-labelled amines were prepared via 11C-carbonylation followed by reductive amination. The 11C-carbonylation was performed in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium using aryl iodides or aryl triflates, [11C]carbon monoxide and phenyl-/methylboronic acid. The [11C]ketones formed in this step were then transformed directly into amines by reductive amination using different amines in the presence of TiCl4 and NaBH3CN. The 11C-labelled amines were obtained with decay-corrected radiochemical yields in the range 2-78%. The radiochemical purity of the isolated products exceeded 98%. (13C)Benzhydryl-phenyl-amine was synthesised and analysed by NMR spectroscopy for confirmation of the labelling position. Specific radioactivity was determined for the same compound. The reference compounds were prepared by reductive amination of ketones using conventional reaction conditions and three of the compounds were novel. The presented approach is a new method for the synthesis of [11C]/(13C)amines.
