Aminolysis of ethyl acetate in continuous flow and its reaction kinetics

The aminolysis of ethyl acetate was promoted significantly via continuous reaction in a tubular reactor.Npropylacetamide was thus synthesized without presence of solvent and catalyst.The optimum conditions were obtained as follows:the reaction temperature is 218℃,the reaction pressure is 3.5 MPa,the molar ratio(ethyl acetate:N-propylamine)is 1:1,and the residence time is 350 min.Accordingly,the conversion of ethyl acetate is up to94.8%.Furthermore,the kinetics of the rapid reaction stage(when the conversion of ethyl acetate is 20%-80%)can be expressed as Ink=-4629.441/T+2.1366,and the apparent activation energy is Ea=38489 J·mol-1.

Theoretical Studies on the Aminolysis of Ester: Effects of the Catalysis and Substituent to the Reaction of Methyl Indole-3-acetate with Ammonia

A comprehensive exploration of the aminolysis mechanism for methyl indole-3-acetate with ammonia is carried out by employing the B3 LYP/6-311++G(d,p), M06-2 X/6-311++G(d,p) and MP2/6-311++G(d,p)//M06-2 X/6-311++G(d,p) levels. Two alterative reaction channels of the concerted and addition/elimination stepwise processes including the uncatalyzed, base-catalyzed reactions are taken into consideration. Subsequently, the substituent effects and solvent effects in methanol are also evaluated at the M06-2 X/6-311++G(d,p) level. The calculated results indicate that the calculated values of M06-2 X level are quite close to those of MP2, the stepwise pathway has more advantages to the concerted one for all of the reaction processes and the catalyst facilitates the proton migration and decreases the energy barriers as well. It is shown that the most preferred mechanism is the based-catalyzed stepwise process, the substituent of NH2 group slightly accelerates all the aminolysis reaction processes, and the solvent effect does not remarkably change the mechanism of the reaction.

Lewis Acidic Guanidinium Ionic Liquids: Novel, Efficient and Recyclable Catalysts for Aminolysis of Epoxides

Lewis acidic guanidinium ionic liquid（LAGIL） 2c was used as a novel, efficient and recyclable catalyst for aminolysis of epoxides under solvent-free and room temperature conditions, giving the corresponding β-amino alcohols with moderate to excellent regioselectivity（up to 91：9） in high yields（up to 97%）. In addition, LAGIL 2c was recycled three times without any loss of catalytic activity and selectivity to the product.

Constructing Versatile Hydrophilic Surfaces via in-situ Aminolysis

Surface hydrophilization is required for numbers of applications such as biosensor,biomedical implants and marine coating.However,the preparation of hydrophilic surface from a solid substrate still suffers from limited thicknesses,complex procedures,restricted substrates and harsh conditions.Herein,a method based on in-situ aminolysis of poly(pentafluorophenyl acrylate)(pPFPA)capable of generating arbitrary hydrophilic surface is proposed,enabling high design freedom and abundant choices of hydrophilic molecules.Simply immersing pPFPA coated substrates into 3-((3-aminopropyl)dimethylammonio)propane-1-sulfonate(ADPS),β-alanine and amine-terminal poly(ethylene glycol)(NH2-PEG)solutions for two hours drastically reduces the water contact angle of the corresponding surfaces,indicating the high efficiency and excellent generality of such method.Systematical studies reveal that these coatings are able to mitigate fog formation,self-clean the oil contaminant and exhibit excellent antifouling performance against algae.Notably,relying on the fast and quantitative feature of the aminolysis,these hydrophilic surfaces possess excellent regeneration capability and well-recover their hydrophilic feature after being physically damaged.This work represents a facile and universal way to fabricate versatile hydrophilic surfaces for multi-functional applications such as self-cleaning,patterning,sensing,antifogging and anti-biofouling.

Glycopeptide ligation via direct aminolysis of selenoester

Direct aminolysis of selenoester in aqueous media was investigated as a glycopeptide ligation strategy.This strategy allows the peptide and glycopeptide ligation to proceed smoothly(even with hindered amino acids) without the need of cysteine residue, N-terminal thiol auxiliary or coupling additive, and to afford the corresponding amide products in excellent yields. No epimerization was observed during ligation reations. In this work, the selenoester of unprotected glycopeptide was readily prepared, and the direct aminolysis of glycopeptide selenoester was successfully applied to synthesize MUC1 mucin sequence efficiently.

Mechanism for acetic acid-catalyzed ester aminolysis

This paper reports a computational study elucidating reaction mechanism for amide bond formation from esters and amines catalyzed by acetic acid. Two optional mechanisms（namely, classic stepwise and concerted acyl substitution mechanisms） have been studied. Calculation results establish the reaction energy profiles of both mechanisms and locate all the intermediates and transition states in both catalytic cycles. Our results propose that the concerted acyl substitution mechanism may be more likely wherein the formation of CààN bond and the cleavage of CààO bond occur concurrently without the need of rehybridization of the carbonyl carbon. This is also consistent with the fact that no significant racemization/epimerization were observed in the amide products when asymmetric esters and/or amines were used as the reactants, because concerted acyl substitution mechanism precludes the intermediacy of tetrahedral adducts and the accompanying generation/elimination of new chiral centers.Further discussion implies that the concerted acyl substitution mechanism may widely occur in related amidation reactions in the presence of different types of coupling reagents.

Aminolysis reaction of calix [ 4 ] arene esters and crystal structures and conformational behaviors of calix[4]arene amides

We first make use of aminolysis of calix[4]arene esters to synthesize calix[4]arene amides. When the two ethyl esters of the calix[4]arene esters are aminolysized, the 1, 3-amide derivative is formed selectively. The crystal structures of the calix-[4] arene with two butyl amide (3b) and four butyl amide moieties (4b) were determined. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds make 4b form two-dimensional net work insolid state. The 1H NMR spectra prove mat 3b is of a pinched cone conformation, while 4b and tetraheptylamide-calix[4]arene (6b) take fast interconversion between two C2r isomers in solution and appear an apparent cone conformation at room temperature. As decreasing temperature, the interconversion rate decreases gradually and, finally, the interconversion process is frozen at Tc = ?10°C, which makes both conformations of 4b and 6b the pinched cone structures. The hydrogen bond improves the interconversion barrier, and the large different values of the potential barrier between 6b and 4b (or 6b) may be of forming different hydrogen bonds.

Synthesis of new borazines containing crosslinkable groups

The new compounds were characterized by infrared （IR） spectra, nuclear magnetic resonance （NMR）, and mass spectrometry （MS）.

A Facile Synthesis of 4-Alkyl-2-Quinolones

The derivatives of 4-alkyl-2-quinolones possess a variety of biological activities. The general synthetic method of 4-alkyl-2-quinolones is the reaction of aryl amines with β-ketoesters to form β-ketoamides, which are then heated in concentrated sulfuric acid to complete the ring closure. Although a number of its 4-methyl and aryl derivatives have been obtained, other 4-alkyl-2-quinolones are rarely mentioned for lack of a convenient method to prepare the appropriate β-ketoesters used in condensation.

Novel Hydroperoxides of 1-Imino-3,3-Disubstituted-1,3-Dihydro Isobenzofuran

Some 1-imino-3,3-disubstituted-1,3-dihydro isobenzofuran and 2-(1,1-disubstituted hydroxymethyl) benzamide derivatives have been obtained by the aminolysis of phthalide in the presence of triethylamine/aluminum chloride. 1-Benzylimino-3,3-disubstituted-1,3-dihydro isobenzofuran can be peroxidized to the corresponding hydroperoxides on exposure to the air for a long period. The structure was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and the possible mechanism was suggested.

Novel Concise Synthesis of （-）-Clausenamide1

A six-step synthesis of （-）-clausenamide is described. Optically pure （R,E）-1,3-diphenylallylic alcohol was ac-etylated and then subjected to an Ireland-Claisen rearrangement, giving the γ,δ-unsaturated acid, which underwent a substrate-induced stereoselective bromolactonization to afford the expected all-equatorial substituted bromo-δ-lac-one. An unusual chemo-selective aminolysis of the lactone resulted in the formation of a γ,δ-epoxy-amide in stereospecific manner. Base-promoted cyclization of this intermediate and the subsequent Davis oxidation furnished the synthesis, delivering the final product in 〉99% ee and up to 34% overall yield.
