Draft:Anomeric amide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In organic chemistry, anomeric amides refer to amides connected to two heteroatoms at the amide nitrogen atom, typically two oxygen atoms or an oxygen atom and a halogen atom. Much like acetals and aminals, the nitrogen atom experiences anomeric effect from the heteroatoms. Anomeric amides exhibit different reactivities to regular amides — in particular, the amide nitrogen center is a much higher sp3 character, and in combination with the electron-withdrawing substituents resulst in an electrophilic and mildly oxidizing character.[1][2][3]

Introduction

[edit]

Anomeric amides are amides with electron-withdrawing substituents on the amide nitrogen atom, with common types including N-alkoxy-N-haloamides, N,N-dialkoxyamides, N-acyloxy-N-alkoxy amides, and N,N-dihaloamides.[1] They were investigated in the late 1980s by Rudchenko and Glover, with Rudchenko exploring N-alkoxy-N-chloroureas and N,N-dialkoxyureas, and Glover investigating N,N-dialkoxyamides and N-acyloxy-N-alkoxyamides. There have been other reports of other anomeric amides earlier than the 1980s, as well as several reports with the amide nitrogen atom connected to one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom, mostly in the the form of N,N'-dialkoxy-N,N'-diacylhydrazines.

Structure and Bonding

[edit]

Anomeric amides exhibit a much greater sp3 character at the amide nitrogen atom, in contrast to the typical sp2 character of a classical amide functional group. This is due to the electron-withdrawing substituents on the amide nitrogen, pulling electron density away from the nitrogen atom and diminishing the electron density donated from the nitrogen atom into the carbonyl group. Additionally, the substituents also induce and experience anomeric effect on each other, with the lone pair of the substituents donating into the σ* of the adjacent substituent.

With a significant enough electron-withdrawing group in place of the acyl substituent, the polarity of the N-substituent bond can be reversed. For instance, sulfonamide analogs of anomeric amides have shown the

Nitrogen Deletion

[edit]

Anomeric amides have been shown to form isodiazenes with primary and secondary amines. For secondary isodiazenes, the molecule is able to expel nitrogen gas, forming a diradical species which can undergo recombination, allowing for nitrogen deletion-type molecular editing.[6] For primary isodiazenes, the nitrogen expulsion occurs after hydrogen atom transfer, and generates a carbon-centered radical, allowing for protodeamination;[7] as well as broader deaminative radical transformations such as halogenation, hydroxylation, phosphonylation, thiolation,[8] and trifluoromethylation.[9]

Halogenation

[edit]

Halogenated anomeric amides have been shown to perform halogenation as an electrophilic halide source, with the rehybridization of the amide from sp2 to sp3 being the driving force.[10]

Nitrene precursor

[edit]

Anomeric amides are also capable of acting as a nitrene surrogate.[11]

Other reactions

[edit]

Anomeric amides have been shown to react with pyridines to form N-alkoxy-N-(1-pyridinium)urea salts.[12]

Anomeric amides have also been shown to convert thiols to disulfides.[13]

Toxicity

[edit]

Due to the electrophilic N-center of anomeric amides, they are suscpetible to nucleophilic attack. Studies have shown that N-acyloxy-N-alkoxyamides can be potential mutagens, as they could act as an elecctrophile to the nucleophilic sites on DNA.[14]
