  2. Gabriel synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_synthesis

    In this method, the sodium or potassium salt of phthalimide is N-alkylated with a primary alkyl halide to give the corresponding N-alkylphthalimide. [8] [9] [10] Upon workup by acidic hydrolysis the primary amine is liberated as the amine salt. [11] Alternatively the workup may be via the Ing–Manske procedure, involving reaction with hydrazine.

  3. Reductive amination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductive_amination

    Reductive amination is commonly used over other methods for introducing amines to alkyl substrates, such as SN2-type reactions with halides, since it can be done in mild conditions and has high selectivity for nitrogen-containing compounds.

  4. Forster–Decker method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forster–Decker_method

    The Forster–Decker method is a series of chemical reactions that have the effect of mono-alkylating a primary amine (1), forming a secondary amine (6). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The process occurs by way of transient formation of an imine ( 3 ) that undergoes the actual alkylation reaction.

  5. Amine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amine

    Amine. In chemistry, amines (/ ə ˈ m iː n, ˈ æ m iː n /, [1] [2] UK also / ˈ eɪ m iː n / [3]) are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair.Formally, amines are derivatives of ammonia (NH 3 (in which the bond angle between the nitrogen and hydrogen is 107°), wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a substituent such as an ...

  6. Leuckart reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuckart_reaction

    The Leuckart reaction is the chemical reaction that converts aldehydes or ketones to amines. The reaction is an example of reductive amination. [1] The reaction, named after Rudolf Leuckart, uses either ammonium formate or formamide as the nitrogen donor and reducing agent. It requires high temperatures, usually between 120 and 130 °C; for the ...

  7. Hofmann rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofmann_rearrangement

    The Hofmann rearrangement (Hofmann degradation) is the organic reaction of a primary amide to a primary amine with one less carbon atom. [1] [2] [3] The reaction involves oxidation of the nitrogen followed by rearrangement of the carbonyl and nitrogen to give an isocyanate intermediate.

  8. Amine alkylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amine_alkylation

    Amine alkylation (amino-dehalogenation) is a type of organic reaction between an alkyl halide and ammonia or an amine. [1] The reaction is called nucleophilic aliphatic substitution (of the halide), and the reaction product is a higher substituted amine. The method is widely used in the laboratory, but less so industrially, where alcohols are ...

  9. Amino acid synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid_synthesis

    Feedback inhibition of final products is the main method of inhibition, and, in E. coli, the ilvEDA operon also plays a part in this regulation. This diagram shows the biosynthesis (anabolism) of amino acids alanine, valine, isoleucine, and leucine from the precursor pyruvate.
