Thus, the present paper describes the formation and hydrolysis, through Sommelet reaction, of some hexamethylenetetramine salts from which some new heterocyclic aldehydes resulted. Rezumat Au fost sintetizaţi şi caracterizaţi prin metode spectrale noi derivaţi 2-R-5- formil-1,3,4-tiadiazolici Astfel, lucrarea prezintă sinteza şi hidroliza, prin intermediul reacţiei Sommelet, a unor săruri de urotropiniu din care s-au obţinut noi aldehide heterociclice. Keywords: 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, hexamethylenetetramine salts, Sommelet reaction Introduction In recent years 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives have received significant attention and have been increasingly investigated due to their diverse range of biological properties. They exhibit, for example, antimicrobial [5, 6, 7, 11], antimycobacterial [14], anticancer [2, 3, 13], antiinflammatory [9], carbonic anhydrase inhibiting effect [1, 15], antianxiety, antidepressant [4], antioxidant properties [12]. 1,3,4- Thiadiazoles exhibit diverse biological activities, possibly due to the presence of =N–C–S moiety [8]. The Sommelet reaction allows the synthesis of aldehydes from benzylhalides by the reaction with hexamethylenetetramine HMTA (urotropine) and subsequent acidic hydrolysis of the resulting quaternary ammonium salt.

Synthetic chemists have thus taken advantage of various pyrroline intermediates in order to achieve target molecules. This dissertation will describe a logical approach to the syntheses of tropane alkaloid analogues and polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines. The latter poises an interesting model for developing chiral auxiliaries for enantioselective reactions.

    1 ALIPHATIC NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION Jade D. Nelson 1.1 INTRODUCTION Nucleophilic substitution reactions at an aliphatic center are among the most fundamental transformations in classical synthetic organic chemistry, and provide the practicing chemist with proven tools for simple functional group interconversion as well as complex target- oriented synthesis. Conventional SN2 displacement reactions involving simple nucleophiles and electrophiles are well-studied transformations, are among the first concepts learned by chemistry students and provide a launching pad for more complex subject matter such as stereochemistry and physical organic chemistry. A high level survey of the chemical literature provides an overwhelming mass of information regarding aliphatic nucleophilic substitution reactions. This chapter attempts to highlight those methods that stand out from the others in terms of scope, practicality, and scalability. 1.2 OXYGEN NUCLEOPHILES 1.2.1 Reactions with Water 1.2.1.1 HydrolysisCOPYRIGHTED of Alkyl Halides The reaction MATERIAL of water with an alkyl halide to form the corresponding alcohol is rarely utilized in target-oriented organic synthesis. Instead, conversion of alcohols to their corresponding halides is more common since methods for the synthesis of halides are less abundant. Nonetheless, alkyl halide hydrolysis can provide simple, efficient access to primary alcohols under certain circumstances. Namely, the hydrolysis of activated benzylic or allylic halides is a facile reaction, and following benzylic or allylic halogenation, provides a simple approach to the synthesis of this Practical Synthetic Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Principles, and Techniques, First Edition.
