Abstract

N,N-Disubstituted hydroxylamines were prepared directly from secondary amines by a reliable method using an oxidizing task-specific ionic liquid, choline peroxydisulfate. The operational simplicity, high selectivity, and green reaction conditions, make this method efficient and practical.

  • 36 Choline Peroxydisulfate Hydrate A mixture of choline chloride (27 g, 193 mmol) and K2S2O8 powder (30 g, 110 mmol) in acetone (100 mL) was stirred at 30 °C for 24 h and then filtered to remove the solid KCl. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a pale-yellow oily product; yield: 36.5 g (90%). The choline peroxydisulfate hydrate was stored at 0–5 °C.
  • 37 N,N-Disubstituted Hydroxylamines 1a–m; General Procedure A round-bottomed flask was charged with the secondary amine (5 mmol) and ChPS (5.5 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at 60 °C under N2. The mixture was then dissolved in H2O (5 mL) and the product was extracted with CH2Cl2 or EtOAc (3 × 5 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure.

  • 52 Ketamine and Medetomidine Free Bases Ketamine or medetomidine hydrochloride (5 g) was neutralized with 1 M aq NaHCO3 (25 mL), and the solution was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 20 mL). The combined extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and vacuum filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give a pale-yellow powder. The structure was confirmed by melting-point comparison and by 1H NMR spectroscopy.
