Assessment of amination reactions via nucleophilic aromatic substitution using conventional and eco-friendly energies

Modern Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution

Synthesis of new cytotoxic aminoanthraquinone derivatives via nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Aminoanthraquinones were successfully synthesized via two reaction steps. 1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone (1) was first subjected to methylation, reduction and acylation to give an excellent yield of anthracene-1,4-dione (3), 1,4-dimethoxyanthracene-9,10-dione (5) and 9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracene-1,4-diyl diacetate (7). Treatment of 1, 3, 5 and 7 with BuNH2 in the presence of PhI(OAc)2 as catal...

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of pyranose polytosylates.

The 2,3,4-tri-toluenesulfonate ester derivatives of the methyl pyranosides of l-arabinose, d-ribose, d-lyxose, and d-xylose have been prepared, and their substitution reactions with various nucleophiles have been examined. For arabinose, xylose, and ribose, highly regioselective monosubstitutions were observed with benzoate, nitrite, and azide anions. These reactions have led to short and simpl...

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions of chloroazines with bisulfide (HS-) and polysulfides (Sn2-).

Reactions of bisulfide and polysulfides with chloroazines (important constituents of agrochemicals and textile dyes) were examined in aqueous solution at 25 degrees C. For atrazine, rates are first-order in polysulfide concentration, and polysulfide dianions are the principal reactive nucleophiles; no measurable reaction occurs with HS-. Second-order rate constants for reactions of an array of ...

Utility of certain nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions for the assay of pregabalin in capsules

BACKGROUND Pregabalin (PG) is an anticonvulsant, analgesic and anxiolytic drug. A survey of the literature reveals that all the reported spectrophotometric methods are either don't offer high sensitivity, need tedious extraction procedures, recommend the measurement of absorbance in the near UV region where interference most probably occurs and/or use non specific reagent that don't offer suita...
