100-13-0 Arylhydroxamic acid N,O-acyltransferase substrates. Acetyl transfer and electrophile generating activity of N-hydroxy-N-(4-alkenyl-, and 4-cyclohexylphenyl)acetamides

Arylhydroxamic acid N,O-acyltransferase (AHAT) is an enzyme system that is capable of converting many N-arylhydroxamic acids into reactive electrophilic species. As part of an investigation into the influence of the structure of the aryl group upon the ability of N-arylhydroxamic acids to serve as substrates for AHAT, a series of N-hydroxy-N-(4-alkyl-, 4-alkenyl-, and 4-cyclohexylphenyl) acetamides was prepared and evaluated in vitro with partially purified rat and hamster hepatic AHAT. The nature of the 4-substituent markedly influenced the ability of the hydroxamic acids to serve as acetyl donors in the AHAT-catalyzed transacetylation of 4-aminoazobenzene (AAB). As the length of the 4-substituent was increased from methyl to pentyl, the compounds became increasingly more effective substrates. The compounds containing vinyl, propenyl, and 2-methylpropenyl 4-substituents were more effective acetyl donors than the corresponding compounds containing saturated 4-substituents. The three most effective AHAT substrates in the AAB transacetylation assay were N-hydroxy-N-(4-pentylphenyl)- (7), N-hydroxy-N-(4-propenylphenyl)- (10), and N-hydroxy-N-[4-(2-methylpropenyl)phenyl]acetamide (11), each of which was approximately as active as the standard compound, N-hydroxy-4-acetamidobiphenyl (1), with rat hepatic AHAT and approximately 60% as active as 1 with hamster hepatic AHAT. Both 1 and N-hydroxyl-N-(4-cyclohexylphenyl)acetamide (8) were activated by hamster hepatic AHAT to yield electrophilic intermediates that formed adducts with 2-mercaptoethanol. The 2-mercaptoethanol adducts were characterized by mass spectrometry and were identified as 4-phenyl-2-[(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]aniline (22) and 4-cyclohexyl-2-[(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]aniline (21). The structure of compounds 21 and 22 were confirmed by an unambiguous chemical synthesis. Both compounds 1 and 8 irreversibly inactivated hamster hepatic AHAT by a time-dependent process. The results of the inactivation experiments confirmed that 1 inactivates AHAT primarily via a suicide substrate mechanism and revealed that 8 inactivates the enzyme by a process consisting primarily of a pathway in which electrophiles are released into the medium and subsequently react with nucleophiles present on AHAT. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_100-13-0.htm

726-18-1 Electrophilic alkylations in neutral aqueous or alcoholic solutions

Acid-free Friedel-Crafts chemistry: A paradox? Nucleophilicity scales, based on reactions with benzhydrylium ions, show that many π systems are more nucleophilic than aqueous or alcoholic solutions that are generally employed as solvents for S N 1 reactions. Solvolytically generated carbocations can, therefore, be trapped by donor-substituted arenes and alkenes to form products of Friedel-Crafts-type reactions in neutral aqueous solutions (see scheme). https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_726-18-1.htm

102-82-9 Selective Synthesis of Secondary and Tertiary Amines by Reductive N-Alkylation of Nitriles and N-Alkylation of Amines and Ammonium Formate Catalyzed by Ruthenium Complex

A new ruthenium catalytic system for the syntheses of secondary and tertiary amines via reductive N-alkylation of nitriles and N-alkylation of primary amines is proposed. Isomeric complexes 8 catalyze transfer hydrogenation and N-alkylation of nitriles in ethanol to give secondary amines. Unsymmetrical secondary amines can be produced by N-alkylation of primary amines with alcohols via the borrowing hydrogen methodology. Aliphatic amines were obtained with excellent yields, while only moderate conversions were observed for anilines. Based on kinetic and mechanistic studies, it is suggested that the rate determining step is the hydrogenation of intermediate imine to amine. Finally, ammonium formate was applied as the amination reagent for alcohols in the presence of ruthenium catalyst 8. Secondary amines were obtained from primary alcohols within 24 hours at 100 °C, and tertiary amines can be produced after prolonged heating. Secondary alcohols can only be converted to secondary amines

1023-17-2 Syntheses, structures, and catalytic activity in Friedel–Crafts acylations of substituted tetramethylcyclopentadienyl molybdenum carbonyl complexes

Reactions of the substituted tetramethylcyclopentadienes [C 5 HMe 4 R] [R?=? t Bu, Ph, CH 2 CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 3 ] with Mo(CO) 3 (CH 3 CN) 3 in refluxing xylene gave a series of dinuclear molybdenum carbonyl complexes [(η 5 -C 5 Me 4 R)Mo(CO) 3 ] 2 [R?=? t Bu (1), Ph (2), CH 2 CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 3 (3)], [(η 5 -C 5 Me t Bu)Mo(μ-CO) 2 ] 2 (4)], and [(η 5 -C 5 Me 4 ) t Bu] 2 Mo 2 O 4 (μ-O) (5)], respectively. Complexes 1–5 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. In addition, their crystal structures were determined by X-ray crystal diffraction analysis. The catalytic activities of complexes 1–3 in Friedel–Crafts acylation in the presence of o-chloranil has also been investigated; the reactions were achieved under mild conditions to give the corresponding products in moderate yields. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_1023-17-2.htm
