چکیده
BACKGROUND Novel mono N-alkyl quaternary ammonium salts (3a-f) were prepared using the Menschutkin reaction from the cage adamanzane type aminal 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.3.1.13,8]undecane (TATU) and alkyl iodides, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl and hexyl iodide (2a-f), in dry acetonitrile at room temperature. RESULTS The structures of these new quaternary ammonium salts were established using various spectral and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) analyses. Compound (3b) was also analyzed using X-ray crystallography. CONCLUSION It was noted that alkyl chain length did not significantly affect the reaction because all employed alkyl iodide electrophiles reacted in a similar fashion with the aminal 1 to produce the corresponding mono N-quaternary ammonium salts, which were characterized by spectroscopic and analytical techniques.

Mechanochemical synthesis and crystal structure of a 1:2 co-crystal of 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.3.1.13,8]undecane (TATU) and 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol
Solvent-free treatment of 1,3,6,8-tetra-aza-tri-cyclo-[4.3.1.13,8]undecano (TATU) with 4-chloro-3,5-di-methyl-phenol led to the formation of the title co-crystal, C7H14N4·2C8H9ClO. The asymmetric unit contains one aminal cage mol-ecule and two phenol mol-ecules linked via two O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the aminal cage, the N-CH2-CH2-N unit is slightly distorted from a syn periplanar geometry. Aro...

The title compound C(14)H(29)N(4) (+)·I(-) salt, was obtained by the reaction of cage adamanzane-type aminal 1,3,6,8-tetra-aza-tricyclo-[4.3.1.1(3,8)]undecane with heptyl iodide. In the cation, the bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges, except for one N-C(ring) bond distance of 1.542 (3) Å, which is unexpectedly long compared with related compounds. In the crystal, ions are linked th...
متن کاملUnusual reactivity patterns of 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo-[4.4.1.1(3,8)]-dodecane (TATD) towards some reducing agents: synthesis of TMEDA.
N,N,N,N-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) can be synthesized by simple reduction of 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo-[4.4.1.1.(3,8)]dodecane (TATD), an aminal cage type amine, with formic acid. The aminal can be converted to TMEDA in high yield very easily and in a very short time. We comment on the scope and limitations of the reduction of this aminal and propose a possible reaction mechanism.
