The reaction under mild conditions between formaldehyde and phenylalanine and phenylethylamine derivatives has been studied. When the amines included in a dried protein film were exposed to formaldehyde vapour a very intense green to yellow fluorescence was give only by those that as well as being primary amines also have hydroxyl groups at the 3 and 4 positions (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, dopamine, noradrenaline). The 3-OH group seems to be esssential for the reaction. The catechol amines, which are secondary amines (adrenaline, epinine), gave a much weaker fluorescence that developed more slowly. The results obtained on further examination of the reaction favour the view that the amines primarily condense with formaldehyde to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines which are involved in a secondary reaction to become highly fluorescent and at the same time insoluble. This secondary reaction may be a binding to protein, and oxidation with the formation of double bonds in the heterocyclic ring, or both.

Reactions of naphthostyril (I) with primary and secondary amines and titanium tetrachloride afforded cyclic amidines III-IX. Hydrogenation of I on Pd-C resulted in the 6,7,8,8a-tetrahydro derivative X which gave by treatment with sodium amide and 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride the N-(aminoalkyl) compound XI. Reduction of I and its N-methyl derivative II with sodium amalgam in aqueous sodium hydroxide gave the 2a,3,4,5-tetrahydro derivatives XII and XIII. Reaction of XIII with sodium amide and 3-dimethylaminopropyl chloride afforded the 2a-(aminoalkyl) compound XIV. 1,3,4,5-Tetrahydro-1-benzazepin-2-one (XV) treated with primary amines and titanium tetrachloride gave the amidines XVI-XVIII. 3-Methyl-7,8,9,9a-tetrahydro-1H-benz[d,e]isoquinoline (XIX) was reduced with sodium borohydride to compound XX which was alkylated with propargyl bromide to 1-methyl-2-propargyl-2,3,3a,4,5,6-hexahydro-1H-benz[d,e]isoquinoline (XXI). An attempt to prepare the 2-(2-phenylethyl) analogue by treatment of compound XX with phenylacetyl chloride and by the following reduction with lithium aluminium hydride resulted in the open-chain amine XXII. The lactams I, II, X, and XIII showed some discoordinating, hypothermic, peripheral vasodilating, hyperglycaemic, diuretic and antiinflammatory effects. The amidines III-IX and XVI-XVIII had local anaesthetic, slight hypotensive, antiarrhythmic, peripheral myorelaxant, papaverine-like spasmolytic and thiopental potentiating effects.

Primary amines, secondary amines and tertiary butyl esters of amino acids are used as nucleophiles with zinc(II) hexadecafluorophthalocyanine to provide mixtures of mono and disubstituted fluorinated phthalocyanines under mild conditions, or polyaminosubstituted phthalocyanines when using the amines as solvents. Diamines give cyclic substituted phthalocyanines, binuclear or trinuclear phthalocyanines or mixtures of both types, depending on the chain length or structure of the diamine.

Reactions of triformylmethane with various types of amino compounds were investigated. Besides with ammonia, triformylmethane reacts spontaneously with primary amines, aminoacids and their esters, urea and related compounds including carbamic acid derivatives. Reactions with amides of carboxylic and sulfonic acids require catalysis with Lewis acids. Primary products are aminomethylenemalonaldehyde derivatives IIIa-IIIv. Reactions of triformylmethane with excess of selected primary amines and two secondary amines (dimethylamine and morpholine) were also studied.

<div> <p>The synthesis, characterization, and activity of Pd-doped layered double hydroxides (Pd-LDHs) for for acceptorless amine dehydrogenation is reported. These multifunctional catalysts comprise Brønsted basic and Lewis acidic surface sites that stabilize Pd species in 0, 2+, and 4+ oxidation states. Pd speciation and corresponding cataytic performance is a strong function of metal loading. Excellent activity is observed for the oxidative transamination of primary amines and acceptorless dehydrogenation of secondary amines to secondary imines using a low Pd loading (0.5 mol%), without the need for oxidants. N-heterocycles, such as indoline, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, and piperidine, are dehydrogenated to the corresponding aromatics with high yields. The relative yields of secondary imines are proportional to the calculated free energy of reaction, while yields for oxidative amination correlate with the electrophilicity of primary imine intermediates. Reversible amine dehydrogenation and imine hydrogenation determine the relative imine:amine selectivity. Poisoning tests evidence that Pd-LDHs operate heterogeneously, with negligible metal leaching; catalysts can be regenerated by acid dissolution and re-precipitation.</p> </div> <br>
