A phosgene-free synthesis of symmetrical N,N'-disubstituted urea by the reaction of aromatic and aliphatic primary amines and urea promoted by  microwave irradiation in the presence of a suitable energy-transfer solvent such as N-N-dimethylacetamide is described.

The reaction of diphenylcyclopropenone with several N-substituted hydroxylamine and primary amines are investigated. Most of these reactions led to ring opened or ring enlarged products, instead of the desired N-Oxide or imine. The reaction of cyclopropeneimine with peracid-another possible route to N-substituted cyclopropeneimine N-Oxide is studied. Most of the unexpected products are ide...

Aliphatic primary amines are a class of chemical feedstock essential to the synthesis of higher-order nitrogen-containing molecules, commonly found in biologically active compounds and pharmaceutical agents. New methods for the construction of complex amines remain a continuous challenge to synthetic chemists. Here, we outline a general palladium-catalysed strategy for the functionalization of ...

Silver nanoparticles supported on alumina were prepared and tested in the catalytic reduction of various imines to primary and secondary amines and were shown to be exceptionally active and chemoselective. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of the prepared nanocatalyst was also tested in the synthesis of secondary amines from primary amines in a tandem reaction protocol (oxidation-imination-re...

In present paper a simple procedure for the synthesis of enaminones without catalyst from 1,3-diketones that reacted with primary or secondary amines in ethanol as solvent, as well as the reaction of enaminones with unsaturated esters such as dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate are reported.

Primary and secondary amines were isolated from whey as their 2,4-dinitrophenyl derivatives, separated by thinlayer partition chromatography, and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Examination of raw and pasteurized sweet whey, reconstituted spray dried whey powder, and proteinfree ultrafdtration permeate of sweet and acid wheys revealed the same qualitative distribution of ami...

A novel, convenient and efficient approach to synthesis of pyrrole derivatives via the reaction of primary amines, alkyl propiolates and oxalyl chloride is described. The method offers several advantages including high yields of products and performing reaction in water as the solvent.
