Amines Amines Are Organic Compounds Containing a Nitrogen Amines Amines are organic compounds containing a nitrogen functionality Depending upon the number of alkyl, or aryl, groups attached to nitrogen determines its classification, or order NH N N N 2 H primary secondary tertiary quaternary The order also affects the number of hydrogens attached to nitrogen (and charge with a quaternary nitrogen) Alkaloids Alkaloids refer to amines that are produced by plants They are often used for medicinal or physiological purposes (the plant makes them to cause an effect when an animal eats them for protection) HO H3CO O O O O O N N O N HO HO O morphine codeine heroin Examples of opium alkaloids – compounds bind to receptor sites in the brain Nomenclature Common names – name the amine by indicating each alkyl substituent with amine suffix IUPAC names – similar to alcohol names, find longest continuous chain and name amine as a suffix Use N-alkyl to name substituents attached to nitrogen Other Common Names There are a number of compounds with historic names NH N H 2 N aniline pyridine pyrrolidine These compounds, and others seen in aromatic compounds, use common names Substituents are named with the common name as the root N 4-methylpyridine CH3 Structure With a saturated amine, the lone pair resides in a sp3 hybridized orbital N CH H3C 3 CH3 With conjugation, the lone pair will reside in a p orbital to allow overlap O O H3C H C H C N C 3 N H 3 N H H3C O CH3 CH3 Nitrogen Inversion While a saturated amine is sp3 hybridized, the nitrogen atom can undergo a rehybridization to cause an “inversion of configuration” Any sp3 hybridized center is chiral with four different substituents N S-N-ethyl-N-methyl-1-propanamine With nitrogen inversion, however, we usually cannot isolate stereoisomers N N N S configuration Planar sp2 hybridization R configuration Nitrogen Inversion Changes the Chiralty Siince this inversion happens at room temperature for nitrogen cannot isolate pure form of either enantiomer Can prevent nitrogen inversion by two ways: 1) Create quaternary nitrogen – nitrogen is prevented to invert with four covalent bonds N N will invert cannot invert 2) Strain prevents formation of sp2 hybridized nitrogen N Strain of ring hinders sp2 hybridization Properties of Amines Amines typically have a relatively high dipole Net dipole N CH H3C 3 CH3 Have dipole for both from nitrogen to lone pair and for each carbon-nitrogen bond In addition, hydrogen bonding causes amines to have a relatively higher boiling point N H CH3 CH3 N H CH3 CH3 Basicity Another major factor with amines is the basicity The lone pair of electrons on nitrogen can act as an acceptor (hence Brønsted-Lowry base) H Kb H H R N H2O N OH H R H Can determine pKb values (just like pKa values for acids) pKa + pKb = 14 Therefore strong bases are weak conjugate acids, and vice versa Effects of Basicity The base strength for amines follow many of the same trends as already observed H H H N R N H H pKb = 4.74 pKb = 3.36 Primary amines are more basic than unsubstituted amines, electron donating alkyl groups stabilize ammonium compound after protonation A difference with amines, however, is that secondary and tertiary amines are approximately the same basicity as primary amines – due to hydration effects Resonance Effects Amines in resonance are less basic than saturated amines NH2 pKb = 9.40 Protonation prevents the lone pair from conjugation Also remember resonance considerations for aromatic rings H N pKb = 15 Protonation makes aromatic compound nonaromatic Hybridization As the percent s character increases for the orbital holding the lone pair of electrons, the electrons are held more closely to the positively charged nucleus Therefore a sp2 hybridized amine have the electrons closer to the nucleus than a sp3 hybridized amine Thus the sp2 hybridized amine is harder to protonate (and form a positive charge) than a sp3 hybridized amine (other factors like resonance being equal) N H C C N NH2 3 pKb = 3.36 pKb = 8.75 pKb = 24 Amine Salts There are many advantageous uses of amine salts First, the salt form of aniline changes the substituent from strongly activating to strongly deactivating, therefore changing the regiochemistry and reactivity NH NH 2 H+ 3 Second, the amine salt changes solubility Amines are soluble in organic phase, salts are soluble in aqueous phase Phase Transfer Catalysis (PTC) Amine salts are also used to catalyze a variety of organic reactions that feature two components that are soluble in different liquid phases (e.g. organic and aqueous) Low rate in either organic Br NaCN or aqueous solutions high organic solubility low organic solubility low aqueous solubility high aqueous solubility Adding a phase transfer catalyst will accelerate the rate (often use quaternary amine salts which have solubility in both phases) Reactions of Amines Some reactions have already seen in earlier chapters covering ketones and aromatic substitution R N O H+ RNH2 H H NH NH2 NH2 2 E+ E E Pyridine Pyridine is a strongly deactivating ring system Many reactions do not work with pyridine due to the strongly deactivating system Those that do react occur with meta substitution NO2 HNO3 H SO N 2 4 N Consider the arenium ion to understand this regiopreference Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution Since pyridine is a strong deactivating group, leaving groups ortho or para to nitrogen will leave in a nucleophilic substitution Cl OCH3 NaOCH3 N N Again consider charged intermediate for this reaction to predict regiopreference Also remember leaving group ability for these nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions follow electronegativity trends ( F > Cl > Br > I ) Alkylation of Amines The lone pair of electrons on amines can react in a nucleophilic manner NH2 CH3I N H Yield is best with methyl or primary halide (this is a SN2 reaction) One problem with this reaction is often polyalkylation occurs N CH3I N H Will continue until quaternary amine is obtained To prevent “over alkylation” reaction is run with excess of amine CH I NH2 3 N H 10 equivalents The other option is to run the reaction with excess of alkyl halide In that case the product will be the quaternary salt where the amine has been fully alkylated Acylation The amines can also be reacted with acid chlorides to generate amides The amide does not generally react further because the lone pair of electrons is delocalized Acylation to Modify Aromatic Reactivity Remember that aniline is highly reactive and the amine is basic With acylation, however, the compound can be reacted under acidic conditions without protonating the amine Hydrolysis of Aryl Acetyl Group Once used, the acetyl group can be hydrolyzed off in either acidic or basic conditions Thus the acetylation of aniline derivatives are quite useful to modify reactivity Sulfonamides Sulfonamides are widely used as antibacterial agents (called “sulfa drugs”) To synthesize sulfonamides follow similar reactivity as acylation reactions Use sulfonyl chloride instead of acid chloride Hofmann Elimination Remember E2 mechanisms where eliminations occurred with either Saytzeff or Hofmann preference For these reactions the Saytzeff was generally favored due to the more stable product Hofmann was observed when the base was too bulky to abstract the hydrogen from the more substituted carbon The Hofmann product in these E2 reactions is named after amine elimination reactions When an amine is alkylated with excess alkyl halide, a quaternary amine is obtained CH I NH2 3 N excess The amine is now a good leaving group ! N N base When heated with base, the amine can leave to generate an alkene When different alkenes can form, the less substituted alkene is preferred N(CH ) 3 3 Ag2O A very common base to use in Hofmann eliminations is Ag2O, the silver oxide reacts with halide of amine salt to form silver halide (AgI) and hydroxide The reason for this preference compared to other E2 reactions is the bulkiness of the quaternary amine leaving group HO HO H H H H CH3 H H H Steric bulk N(CH3)3 N(CH3)3 E2 reactions must be anticoplanar Cope Elimination Another method to have an amine elimination from a compound is the Cope elimination Instead of an E2 base mechanism, the Cope occurs through an oxidation mechanism A tertiary amine is oxidized to an amine oxide oxidation N N O (primary amines are oxidized to nitro and secondary amines are oxidized to hydroxylamines) Amine oxides will eliminate without base N HO N(CH3)2 H H O Diazonium Salts Primary amines will react with nitrous acid to form diazonium salts The key step is that the nitrogen will leave to generate a carbocation Arenediazonium Salts While the generation of alkyl carbocations with this method is unnecessary (there are many other more efficient ways to generate alkyl carbocations), it is a unique method to generate aryl substituted products First the arenediazonium salt is generated from an aniline derivative N NH2 NaNO2 N HCl The nitrogen leaving group (N2) can then be replaced in a second step Example of unique potential products: N N H2SO4 OH ! Convenient method to generate phenol derivatives (other method is usually a nucleophilic aromatic substitution) It is difficult to generate an oxygen electrophile to perform a typical electrophilic aromatic substitution Generation of Aryl Fluorides Briefly saw in aromatic substitution chapter that fluorine substituted aromatic rings can be obtained through an arenediazonium pathway N N HBF4 F There are few other methods to add fluorine in a preferred regio manner to an aromatic ring Sandmeyer Arenediazonium salts are often reacted with Cu(I) salts This reaction is called

Recall: R3 R4 E Y E Y C C + E Y R1 C C R4 R1 C C R4 − R2 R1 δ+ δ R2 R3 R2 R3 In aromatic rings, however, we see substitution of one of the benzene ring hydrogens for an electrophile. H E + E Y + Y H δ+ δ− The mechanism is the same regardless of the electrophile. It involves two steps: (1) Addition of the electrophile to form a high-energy carbocation. (2) Elimination of the proton to restore the aromatic ring system. H H H H slow E Y + Y step 1 + E δ+ δ− high energy arenium ion H H step 2 fast E E + Y + Y H The first step is the slow step since the aromaticity of the benzene ring system is destroyed on formation of the arenium ion intermediate.

  • Spectroscopic Studies of the Internal Modes of Amino-Aromatics By
    Spectroscopic studies of the internal modes of amino-aromatics by fluorescence excitation and dispersed emission in supersonic jet by Shuxin Yan A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Montana State University © Copyright by Shuxin Yan (1992) Abstract: A systematic study for the NH2 inversional mode in aniline and para substituted anilines has been performed using the techniques of the fluorescence excitation and dispersed emission in supersonic jet. The transitions of the nitrogen inversion mode in aniline and para substituted anilines have been assigned in both the fluorescence excitation and dispersed emission spectra, which are strongly supported by the evidence of a large deuterium shift, the presence of a strong hot band, and the intense second overtone transition of the amino inversion in the excitation spectra of all the aniline molecules. The potential surface of each aniline has been fit using the observed inversional levels in both the ground and excited states. The molecular structure of each aniline has been investigated based on the experimental results. The NH2 torsional transition is assigned in the excitation spectrum of each aniline molecule for the first time. The absence of a torsional hot band and no observable tunneling splitting in the NH2 torsional mode indicates that the NH2 torsion mode in the anilines must have a very high first quanta in the ground state. The mechanism of I20 and T20 splittings in the excitation spectrum of p-toluidine has been explained by using molecular symmetry. The splittings are caused by the torsion - torsion coupling between the NH2 and CH3 groups.

Amine oxides are produced by the reaction of tertiary amines such as Alkyldimethylamine with hydrogen peroxide in a two‐phase system containing a large volume of water yielding dilute products typically containing <35% active [5]. The reaction is a continuous process. In the primary step the Product and Process tertiary amine, a hydrogen peroxide solution, deionized water as well as the catalyst and its chelate Description are pumped continuously at controlled rates into a stirred reactor. This oxidation reaction is exothermic and yields approximately 95% of the desired product. To generate more product, the outflow of the first reactor is passed to a second reactor, which extends the yield of the amine oxide to approximately 99%.

  • Ganic Compounds
    6-1 SECTION 6 NOMENCLATURE AND STRUCTURE OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Many organic compounds have common names which have arisen historically, or have been given to them when the compound has been isolated from a natural product or first synthesised. As there are so many organic compounds chemists have developed rules for naming a compound systematically, so that it structure can be deduced from its name. This section introduces this systematic nomenclature, and the ways the structure of organic compounds can be depicted more simply than by full Lewis structures. The language is based on Latin, Greek and German in addition to English, so a classical education is beneficial for chemists! Greek and Latin prefixes play an important role in nomenclature: Greek Latin ½ hemi semi 1 mono uni 1½ sesqui 2 di bi 3 tri ter 4 tetra quadri 5 penta quinque 6 hexa sexi 7 hepta septi 8 octa octo 9 ennea nona 10 deca deci Organic compounds: Compounds containing the element carbon [e.g. methane, butanol]. (CO, CO2 and carbonates are classified as inorganic.) See page 1-4. Special characteristics of many organic compounds are chains or rings of carbon atoms bonded together, which provides the basis for naming, and the presence of many carbon- hydrogen bonds. The valency of carbon in organic compounds is 4. Hydrocarbons: Compounds containing only the elements C and H. Straight chain hydrocarbons are named according to the number of carbon atoms: CH4, methane; C2H6 or H3C-CH3, ethane; C3H8 or H3C-CH2-CH3, propane; C4H10 or H3C-CH2- CH2-CH3, butane; C5H12 or CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3, pentane; C6H14 or CH3(CH2)4CH3, hexane; C7H16, heptane; C8H18, octane; C9H20, nonane; C10H22, CH3(CH2)8CH3, decane.

  • Comparative Responses of Rice (Oryza Sativa) Straw to Urea Supplementation and Urea Treatment
    COMPARATIVE RESPONSES OF RICE (ORYZA SATIVA) STRAW TO UREA SUPPLEMENTATION AND UREA TREATMENT M. N. A. Kumar1, K. Sundareshan, E. G. Jagannath S. R. Sampath and P. T. Doyle2 Southern Regional Station, National Dairy Research Institute, Bangalore - 560030, India Summary Twenty five 75% Holstein Friesian cross bred bullocks fed rice straw (Oryza saliva) of long form, were fed with the following five treatments. 1. Rice straw, untreated (RS) 2. RS + water (1:1), stored for 24 hours (WRS) 3. RS (100 kg) + urea solution (4 kg urea/100 litre water) and dried (USRS) 4. RS (100 kg) + urea solution (as in 3) stored in wet condition for 24 hours (UWRS) 5. RS (100 kg) + urea solution (as in 3) stored in pit for 21 days (UTRS). Potential digestibility of treatments of RS was evaluated by monitoring (in vitro) Simulating Rumen like Fermentation (SRLF). The results indicated that Dry Matter Intake (DMI), digestibility of nutrients, N utilization were of the order UTRS > UWRS > USRS > WRS and RS (p < 0.05 to P < 0.01). SRLF index was high (255.84) for UTRS and least (145.58) for USRS. It was interm­ ediary (199.66) for UWRS. The acetyl content (AC) of UTRS with higher hemicellulose (HCE) dig­ estibility (80.8%) was low compared to UWRS, USRS, RS and WRS. The acetate content was of the order UTRS < UWRS < USRS < WRS and RS thereby indicating that reduction in acetyl con­ tent was an index of positive response of urea-treatment of RS. In addition, the ratio of HCE/AC in faeces of UTRS was 0.87 as against the ratios (2.26-2.48) observed in other treatments recording reduction jn AC due to urea-treatinent.

  • Chapter 18 Amines in Order for a Drug to Be Effective Orally, It Generally
    Chapter 18 Amines In order for a drug to be effective orally, it generally has to be reasonable soluble in water so that it can be transported through the blood. Since amines are weak bases, they are often converted to salts with some acid and therefore may oral drugs have amine salts as part of their structure. One reason for their presence is that they confer some water solubility to the drug. The three-dimensional models show the shapes of amine molecules; notice the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen is not shown but affects the geometry about the nitrogen Primary, secondary and tertiary amines have 1, 2 or 3 alkyl groups attached to nitrogen. In these cases the alkyl group is the methyl In the IUPAC system, STEP 1 Name the longest carbon chain bonded to the N atoms as alkanamines by replacing e of the alkane name with amine. STEP 2 Number the carbon chain to locate the amine group and any substituents.

    4644 Biochemistry 2010, 49, 4644–4653 DOI: 10.1021/bi1005738 Molecular Structure of WlbB, a Bacterial N-Acetyltransferase Involved in the Biosynthesis †,‡ of 2,3-Diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-mannuronic Acid James B. Thoden and Hazel M. Holden* Department of Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706 Received April 14, 2010; Revised Manuscript Received April 29, 2010 ABSTRACT: The pathogenic bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bordetella pertussis contain in their outer membranes the rare sugar 2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-mannuronic acid. Five enzymes are required for the biosynthesis of this sugar starting from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine. One of these, referred to as WlbB, is an N-acetyltransferase that converts UDP-2-acetamido-3-amino-2,3-dideoxy-D-glucuronic acid (UDP- GlcNAc3NA) to UDP-2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcNAc3NAcA). Here we report the three-dimensional structure of WlbB from Bordetella petrii. For this analysis, two ternary structures were determined to 1.43 A˚resolution: one in which the protein was complexed with acetyl-CoA and UDP and the second in which the protein contained bound CoA and UDP-GlcNAc3NA. WlbB adopts a trimeric quaternary structure and belongs to the LβH superfamily of N-acyltransferases. Each subunit contains 27 β-strands, 23 of which form the canonical left-handed β-helix. There are only two hydrogen bonds that occur between the protein and the GlcNAc3NA moiety, one between Oδ1 of Asn 84 and the sugar C-30 amino group and the second between the backbone amide group of Arg 94 and the sugar C-50 carboxylate.

  • In This Handout, All of Our Functional Groups Are Presented As Condensed Line Formulas, 2D and 3D Formulas and with Nomenclature Prefixes and Suffixes (If Present)
    In this handout, all of our functional groups are presented as condensed line formulas, 2D and 3D formulas and with nomenclature prefixes and suffixes (if present). Organic names are built on a foundation of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. Those examples are presented first and you need to know those rules. The strategies can be found in Chapter 4 of our textbook (alkanes: pages 93-98, cycloalkanes 102-104, alkenes: pages 104-110, alkynes: pages 112-113 and combinations of all of them 113-115). After introducing examples of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and combinations of them, the functional groups are presented in order of priority. A few nomenclature examples are provided for each of the functional groups. Examples of the various functional groups are presented on pages 115-135 in the textbook. Two overview pages are on pages 136-137. Some functional groups have a suffix name when they are the highest priority functional group and a prefix name when they are not the highest priority group, and these are added to the skeletal names with identifying numbers and stereochemistry terms (E and Z for alkenes, R and S for chiral centers and cis and trans for rings). Several low priority functional groups only have a prefix name. A few additional special patterns are shown on pages 98-102. The only way to learn this topic is practice (over and over). The best practice approach is to actually write out the names (on an extra piece of paper or on a white board, and then do it again). The same functional groups are used throughout the entire course.
