The Mannich reaction in the synthesis of N,S-containing heterocycles

Reactions of 6-aryl-5-cyano-4-oxo-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines with formaldehyde and primary amines gave earlier unknown 3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b]-[1,3,5]thiadiazine derivatives in 58–94% yields. In boiling AcOH, these pyrimidothiadiazines underwent the retro-Mannich reaction leading to the starting pyrimidine-2-thiones. The structure of 3-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-6-oxo-8-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3,5]thiadiazine-7-carbonitrile was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis.

β-Cyclodextrin-polyurethane polymer as solid phase extraction material for the analysis of carcinogenic aromatic amines

β-Cyclodextrin-polyurethane (β-CDPU) polymer was synthesized by the reaction of β-cyclodextrin with hexamethylene diisocyanate in dry dimethylformamide and used as a sorbent for the solid phase extraction (SPE) of carcinogenic aromatic amines from water. The polymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and particle size analysis. The separation and quantification was performed by Liquid chromatography with RP-C₁₈ column and diode array detection using standard arylamines for quantification. When compared with commercially available sorbents, β-CDPU gave better recovery for the aromatic amines. From the variation of pH of the extractant from 4.0 to 8.5 recovery was highest at pH 8.5. The breakthrough volume has been ascertained to be 100 ml for 200 mg of the resin. The new SPE material offers better recovery and estimation of banned arylamines.     

Salts of α-cyanoacrylic acid with sterically hindered tertiary amines

Syntheses are reported for representatives of a new class of derivatives of -cyanoacrylic acid, namely, its salts with brucine, tert-butyldimethylamine, and diisopropylmethylamine.A. N.

Oxidation of organic amide ions by dioxygen

The products of base-catalyzed oxidation of secondary aromatic amines were identified by the GC-MS and EPR techniques as nitroxyls, quinone nitrones, quinone imines, and for diarylamines also as the products of C-N bond cleavage-substituted nitrobenzenes, anilines and phenols. It was shown that nitroxyl radicals are the primary paramagnetic products of the reaction and do not form by the interaction of aminyl radicals with dioxygen. A mechanism of the amide ion oxidation through the nonradical addition of dioxygen to the amide ion at the rate-limiting stage is suggested and discussed.The previous report see Ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Divergent and solvent dependent reactions of 4-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methyl-1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1,2-diaza-1,3-diene with enamines

Starting from 1-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-methyl-4-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-diaza-1,3-diene and β,β,β and α,β-substituted enamines a careful choice of solvents and temperatures allows the divergent synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-4H-pyridazines, 2-(1-N-boc-hydrazono-ethyl)-4-pyrrolidin-1-yl-but-3-enoic acid ethyl ester, and 1-amino-pyrroles. Moreover, some interesting conclusions about the mechanism(s) of the reaction have been drawn by careful analysis of products' structure and distribution. Thus, the reaction may proceed through a stereospecific [4+2] cycloaddition mechanism giving rise to 5,6-dihydro-4H-pyridazines or by simple addition or domino addition/cyclization pathways affording, respectively, 2-(1-N-boc-hydrazono-ethyl)-4-pyrrolidin-1-yl-but-3-enoic acid ethyl ester and 1-amino-pyrroles (formally the [3+2] cycloaddition product).     

Determination of heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAA) in commercially available meat products and fish by high performance liquid chromatography—Electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS-MS)

Summary Ten heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAA) (1)–(10) were analyzed in commercially available meat products and fish. After sample preparation by Extrelut treatment and subsequent solid phase extraction applying propylsulphonic and C₁₈ silica cartridges, HPLC-ESI-MS-MS using selected reaction monitoring (SRM) and d₃-PhIP and d₃-MeIQx as internal and external standards, respectively, revealed the widely distributed presence of PhIP (8) and MeIQx (4), ranging from 0.1 to 5.3 ng g⁻¹ and 0.1 to 5.2 ng g⁻¹, respectively. Lower amounts were found for 4,8-DiMeIQx (5) and 7,8-DiMeIQx (6), ranging from 0.2 to 2.0 ng g⁻¹ and 0.1 to 0.2 ng g⁻¹, respectively. The other HAA under study, i.e. IQ, MeIQ, 4,7,8-TriMeIQx, Glu-P-1, and Glu-P-2 were not determinable under the experimental conditions used (determination limit 0.1 ng g⁻¹).     

Liquid chromatographic determination of aliphatic amines in water using solid support assisted derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate

Summary A simple and sensitive method has been developed for the liquid chromatographic determination of short-chain aliphatic amines in water. Analytes are retained in solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges, and then derivatized by drawing an aliquot of the fluorogeneic reagent 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) through the cartridges. After a certain reaction time the derivatives formed are desorbed with acetonitrile. The collected extracts are then chromatographed on a LiChrospher 100 RP₁₈ 125 mm×4 mm i.d., 5 μm, column using an acetonitrile-water gradient. The influence of experimental conditions (SPE material, volume of sample, concentration of FMOC, time of reaction and pH) has been investigated. Optimal results have been obtained with C₁₈ SPE cartridges using a sample volume of 5.0 mL. For derivatization, 0.25 mL aliquots of 25 mM FMOC have been used, the reaction time being only 2 min. The method has been applied to the quantification of several aliphatic amines: methylamine, ethylamine, dimethylamine,n-butylamine,n-pentylamine andn-hexylamine. Under the proposed conditions the percentages of analytes retained plus derivatized were of about 54–107% compared to those obtained with direct solution derivatization. The method provided good reproducibility, linearity and accuracy within the 0.050–1.0 mg L⁻¹ concentration range. The limits of detection were in the 0.25–5.0 μg L⁻¹ range. The utility of the described approach has been tested by analysing tap water, river water and industrial waste water.
