Patil and Subbarayappa Adimurthy Abstract: This Focus Review describes different methods that have been reported for the synthe- sis of imines. It is organized according to the methods used for imine synthesis starting with metal catalysis, including Ru, Au, V, Cu, Mn, Co and Pd catalysis. Other methods, such as photo- catalysis, electrocatalysis, organocatalysis, and so on, are also emphasized. Ample information on the condensation of carbonyl compounds/alcohols with amines and direct oxidation of amines to give imines is discussed. Furthermore, among various metal-catalyzed reactions, specific atten- tion has been paid to copper-catalyzed imine synthesis, as copper is less toxic than other heavy metals, comparatively inexpensive, and is easily accessible. Keywords: amines · carbonyl compounds · catalysis · imine synthesis · oxidation 1.

As depicted in Scheme 1, these methods in- modynamically stable products over time. For this funda- mental reason, the formation of a dynamic covalent imine bond (dynamic covalent bond refers to the influence of re- active substrates, reagents, and particular reaction condi- tions) is an emerging and versatile method with various ap- plications. Formation of imines underlies a discipline known as dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC), which is now used widely in the construction of exotic molecules and ex- tended structures, such as rotaxanes, catenanes, and so on.[5,6] Imines can act as electrophiles in a number of reac- tions, including reductions, additions, condensations, and cy- cloadditions.[7,8] The presence of the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom of the imine group enables coordina- tion to numerous metals, especially when the imine func- tionality is located at the ortho position of aromatic hetero- cycles, such as pyridines. Such molecules are used for inter- esting applications as ligands in homogeneous catalysis.[9,10] Prochiral imines have been widely used for the synthesis of chiral amines.[11–13] [a] R. D. Patil, S.

This transformation has not previously been done catalytically and has not been done in practical manner with stepwise or stoichiometric processes. Building on the previous work of the Lambert lab on the metathesis of cyclopropene and an aldehyde using a hydrazine catalyst, this work discusses efforts to expand to the less stained norbornene. Computational and experimental studies on the catalytic cycle are discussed, including detailed experimental work on how various factors affect the difficult cycloreversion step. The second portion of this thesis details the use of chiral cyclopropenimine bases as catalysts for asymmetric Michael reactions. The Lambert lab has previously developed chiral cyclopropenimine bases for glycine imine nucleophiles. The scope of these catalysts was expanded to include glycine imine derivatives in which the nitrogen atom was replaced with a carbon atom, and to include imines derived from other amino acids. i Table of Contents List of Abbreviations…………………………………………………………………………..iv Part I: Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………… 1 Chapter 1 – Metathesis Reactions of Double Bonds………………………………………….. 1 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………. 1 Olefin Metathesis………………………………………………………………………… 2 Wittig Reaction…………………………………………………………………………... 6 Tebbe Olefination………………………………………………………………………... 9 Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………….

Yohannan* and Arthur Berrier U.S. Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration Special Testing and Research Laboratory 22624 Dulles Summit Court Dulles, VA 20166 [email: mary.a.yohannan -at- usdoj.gov] ABSTRACT: The formation of imine by-products from phenethylamines, amphetamines, and tryptamines upon an acetone extraction is presented. These imine by-products were characterized using GC/MSD and exhibited preferential cleavage at the α-carbon of the alkyl chain. Further characterization of the imine by-products of phenethylamine and tryptamine was done using IR and NMR. KEYWORDS: phenethylamine, tryptamine, imine, acetone, schiff base, drug chemistry, forensic chemistry In most forensic laboratories, the solvents used to extract at the α-carbon on the alkyl chain. In addition to GC/MS, the drugs are chosen based upon their solubility properties and their imines formed from phenethylamine base and tryptamine base ability to not interact with the drug.

  • Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Imine-Linked Covalent Organic Frameworks
    Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Imine-Linked Covalent Organic Frameworks THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Toni Beirl Graduate Program in Chemistry The Ohio State University 2015 Master's Examination Master's Examination Committee: Professor Psaras McGrier, Advisor Professor Jovica D. Badjic Copyrighted by Toni M.Beirl 2015 Abstract Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous crystalline materials composed of light elements (such as H, B, C, N, and O) that are linked by covalent bonds. The modular nature of COFs permits the integration of various π-conjugated molecular building blocks into highly ordered polymeric structures with low densities and high thermal stabilities making them suitable for applications related to energy storage and conversion, catalysis, and gas storage. Since a majority of the early examples of COFs contained boroxine or boronate esters linkages, many of these materials were often susceptible to hydrolysis when exposed to aqueous conditions resulting in decomposition of the framework. The recent discovery of imine-linked COFs has sparked the creation of COFs with superior chemical stability on account of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl and imine functional groups, which enhances their stability in aqueous and acidic environments. Utilizing this feature, this thesis examines the synthesis and gas adsorption properties of novel imine-linked COFs that contain 1,3,5-tris(styryl)benzene and 1,3,5– tris(arylethynyl)benzene π-conjugated units. By creating analogs which were fluorescent in both solution and solid-state, studies were conducted to determine their ability to serve as chemical sensors for explosives.

  • Modeling Nitrile-Terminated Polypropylene Imine Dendrimer Fragmentation with DFT
    Modeling Nitrile-Terminated Polypropylene Imine Dendrimer Fragmentation with DFT Eric W. Martin, Jacob T. Kilgore and William D. Price Marshall University Department of Chemistry Huntington, WV 25755 Abstract Dendrimers are regularly branched polymers with a treelike structure that can be tuned for size, shape, and functionality. This relatively new class of compound has shown potential for useful host-guest chemistries including site-specific drug delivery via molecular recognition, catalysis, and nonlinear optics. Gas-phase dissociation studies have been initiated to probe the structure and stability of the half and first generation polypropylene dendrimer complexes and to develop an analytical framework for their characterization. These dissociation studies result in fragmentation products of mass-to-charge ratios that can be assigned to multiple possible isomers formed by potentially competing mechanisms. Since these reactions are under kinetic control we will present density functional results for modeling the dissociation mechanisms for the most abundantly produced fragments from the protonated dendrimers. The BMK functional in conjunction with a moderately-sized basis has been chosen for its utility in determining transition state energies and kinetic parameters. Introduction Dendrimers have several promising and exciting possibilities ranging from use as chelating agents1 to site-specific host-guest chemistry and controlled gene2 and drug delivery systems3. Distinct properties of dendrimers, such as well-defined architecture and a high ratio of moieties to molecular volume, make these materials highly interesting for the development of nanomaterials and medicines4. The compact, nanometer- scale structure of the hyperbranched polymer results in high solubility and low solution viscosity5, while the dense arrangement of functional groups allows pharmaceutical agents and magnetic resonance imaging contrast dyes to be chemically grafted to the dendrimer in concentrated amounts6.

Imine Metathesis by Silica-Supported Catalysts Using the Methodology of Surface Organometallic Chemistry. J. Vis. Exp. (152), e59409, doi:10.3791/59409 (2019). Abstract 1 With this protocol, a well-defined singlesite silica-supported heterogeneous catalyst [(≡Si-O-)Hf(=NMe)(η -NMe2)] is designed and prepared according to the methodology developed by surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC). In this framework, catalytic cycles can be determined by isolating crucial intermediates. All air-sensitive materials are handled under inert atmosphere (using gloveboxes or a Schlenk line) or high -5 vacuum lines (HVLs, <10 mbar). The preparation of SiO2-700 (silica dehydroxylated at 700 °C) and subsequent applications (the grafting of complexes and catalytic runs) requires the use of HVLs and double-Schlenk techniques. Several well-known characterization methods are used, such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental microanalysis, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (SSNMR), and state-of-the-art dynamic nuclear polarization surface enhanced NMR spectroscopy (DNP-SENS).

To understand how it works, we need to look at the reaction itself. acylating agent O nucleophile O Y X R X R Y Acyl group being transferred The reaction consists of two reactants: an acylating agent and a nucleophile. The rate of the reaction (and its mechanism) is dependent on the acylating agent and the nucleophile.
