Secondary amines are obtained from alcohols when the alcohol is treated with N- methyltosylamine in the presence of triphenylphosphine and diethyl azodicarboxylate56,57 and the tosyl group is then removed from the product 28 by treatment with sodium in liquid ammonia at 70 °C (equation 21)58.

Transition-metal- and enzyme-catalyzed alkylations of ammonia and amines with alcohols and diols have been reviewed59. RuCl2(PPh3)3 is a homogeneous catalyst for the reaction of long-chain terminal alcohols with secondary amines to give tertiary amines (equation 22)60.

The course of the condensation of ethylene glycol with secondary amines (Me2NH, Et2NH, pyrrolidine or morpholine) depends on the catalyst used. Triphenylphosphine complexes of ruthenium, e.g. RuCl2(PPh3)3, give hydroxyalkylamines while hydrated ruthenium(III) chloride yields diamines (equation 24)62.

Optically pure tri(hydroxyalkyl)amines 29 (R D Me, t-Bu, cyclohexyl or Ph) have been obtained from enantiomerically pure epoxides and methanolic ammonia63. Tetraphenylstibonium trifluoromethanesulphonate, SbPh4C CF3SO3 , catalyses the reaction of epoxides with amines, e.g. diethylamine or aniline, to yield 2-hydroxyalkylamines in quantitative yields (equation 25)64.

The proportion of the two types depends on the nature of the group R: for R D Me or Bu there is almost exclusive azophilic reaction, for R D i-Pr 64% azophilic and 16% carbophilic attack and for R D Ph or 4-MeC6H4 23% azophilic and 70% carbophilic reaction77.

Complete debenzylation by hydrogenation in the presence of palladium dihydroxide gave the products 60. To reverse the direction of diastereoselectivity, the donor strength of the aldimine nitrogen atom was weakened by preparing the N-tosyl derivatives 61. Treatment of the latter with Grignard reagents R2MgX (R2 D Me, Et, Bu, Ph etc.) gave 90 94% of the non-chelation controlled adducts 62, which yielded the diamines 63.

Another method for the preparation of 1,2-diamines is by the combined action of the niobium tetrachloride/tetrahydrofuran complex and tributyltin hydride on cyanides RCN (R D t-Bu, Ph, cyclopentyl or pent-4-en-1-yl) (equation 32)82.

The nitrophenylsulphenimine 71 is formed from the sulphenamide 70 and N- chlorosuccinimide in the presence of triethylamine. The imine reacts with Grignard compounds RMgBr to yield sulphenamides 72, which are cleaved by trifluoroacetic acid to the amino acids 73. Hence 71 functions as an electrophilic glycine equivalent84.

7. By electrophilic amination
The N-amination of pyrazoles with hydroxylamine O-sulphonic acid in aqueous media at controlled pH allows the preparation of compounds with electron-withdrawing substituents85.
Electron-rich aromatic compounds, such as phenol, anisole and N,N-dimethylaniline, add to bis(2-trichloroethyl) azodicarboxylate under the influence of lithium perchlorate, boron trifluoride etherate or zinc chloride to yield para-substituted products 74, which are transformed into the anilines 75 by means of zinc and acetic acid86. Triflic acid (trifluoromethanesulphonic acid) catalyses the reactions of phenyl azide with benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene and naphthalene, to give N-arylanilines (equation 34)87.

Treatment of benzene with trifluoromethanesulphonic acid, followed by trimethylsilyl azide, gives aniline in 94% yield. Toluene, o-xylene, mesitylene, chlorobenzene and

Similarly, benzene and hydrazoic acid in the presence of a mixture of fluorosulphonic and trifluoromethanesulphonic acid give aniline quantitatively. From toluene 100% of a mixture of o-, m- and p-toluidines is obtained and bromobenzene yields 42% o- bromoaniline and 47% p-bromoaniline, Butyl azide gives N-butylarylamines under these conditions89. Photolysis of 1-aminoquinolinium perchlorate (76) in aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene or mesitylene) in the presence of 18-crown-6 affords arylamines, e.g. aniline and p-toluidine, by way of the nitrenium ion90; cf Reference 91.

Lithium t-butyl N-tosyloxycarbamate, But O2CNTos LiC , is an electrophilic aminating agent for organometallic compounds RM (MeLi, BuLi, s-BuLi and PhCu) to give,
after hydrolysis, the protected amines RNHCO2But92 . Amines ArNH2 are produced in high yields in the reactions of organocopper compounds Ar2Cu(CN)Li2 derived from benzene, anisole, thiophen and pyridine with N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)hydroxylamine Me3SiNHOSiMe3 (equation 36)93.

Grignard reagents RMgX into the amines RNH2 succeeds with the former but fails with the latter. The two reagents gave comparable yields in the N-amination of pyridine and quinoline but for indole and carbazole the first was more effective. It was concluded that, in general, hydroxylamine-O-sulphonic acid was more versatile96. 1,2,3-Triazole reacts with hydroxylamine O-sulphonic acid in aqueous potassium hydroxide to yield a mixture of 53% 1-amino-1,2,3-triazole and 14% of the 2-amino isomer (equation 37)97.

Electrophilic aminations with O-substituted hydroxylamines H2NOAr and H2NOCOAr (Ar D mesityl or dinitromesityl) have been reviewed98. Numerous heterocycles have been transformed by the mesityl derivative 79 into the salts 80 and tertiary amines into 81. The action of O-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydroxylamine 82 [Ar D 2,4-(O2N)2C6H3] on aldehydes RCHO (R D C6H13, Ph, 4-MeOC6H4 and 4-O2NC6H4) results in oximes, which form nitriles under basic conditions99.
