reactions of n-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane with cyclopentanone have been studied in the presence of aromatic carboxylic acids and primary amines, proceeds smoothly at room temperature under neutral conditions to afford sterically congested 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives by an intramolecular aza-wittig cyclization in ch2cl2 in excellent yields. the structures of the products were deduced from...

Studies on structurally related aromatic amines with different carcinogenic properties have shown that 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) and 2-acetylaminophenanthrene (AAP) inhibit the binding of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin to the Ah receptor in vitro. The apparent inhibitor constants (Ki) are 2.3 microM for 2-AAF and 2.7 microM for AAP. In contrast, 4-acetylaminofluorene, an isomer of 2-AA...

Epidemiological studies have established the carcinogenic risk of occupational exposure to aromatic amines such as benzidine, beta-naphthylamine, and 4-aminobiphenyl. Metabolic activation of these chemicals to reactive, genotoxic electrophiles, via enzymatic N-oxidation and subsequent conjugation reactions, is necessary for their carcinogenic potential to be realized. Many aromatic amines are m...

The pollution of natural waters with aromatic amines originating from wastewaters of many industries is of serious concern due to its negative impact on environment and living organisms. In this research work, Cu–impregnated chitosan/alumina nanocomposite was prepared and employed as an adsorbent for removal of aromatic amines from water. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of the p...

Highly fluorescent and photoconductive nanoribbons assembled from an asymmetric perylene diimide (PDI) were used as a dual-mode sensor for sensitive and selective discrimination of two classes of organic amines in the vapor phase, i.e., alkyl amines and aromatic amines.

The combination of a catalytic amount of Cu(OTf)2 and less than a stoichiometric amount of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) under an O2 atmosphere effectively promoted the N-nitrosation of both secondary aromatic/aliphatic amines and tertiary aromatic amines with nitromethane (CH3NO2) leading to the preparation of N-nitrosamine derivatives.

This chapter provides an overview of the chemical structures and properties of aromatic amines and their role in the development and utility of azo dyes. Approaches to the design of environmentally benign alternatives to genotoxic primary aromatic amines, as azo dye precursors, are included.

1,8-dioxo-decahydroacridines have been synthesized by the three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, aromatic amines (or ammonium acetate), and dimedone in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-pr-so3h) under solvent-free conditions. excellent yields, short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, and easy work-up procedures are advantages of this green method.

Ever since certain aromatic amines have been shown to be carcinogenic in humans the question has been raised how the chemical structure determines the biological effects, because a better understanding of this relationship could help assess the hazard and the risk associated with exposure to these chemicals. The common denominator is an aminogroup bound to an aromatic system. The chemical react...
