A. Introduction

Appreciation of the ch.emfstry of the C-nitroso group has

developed slow].y notwit]Istanding its extensive literature.

Undoubtedly a contributing factor has been its absence, except

for a few examp].es, in naturally occurring materia].s.

In the past decade there have been several important

deve]_opments including the n.m.r, ar)alysis of the structural

re].ationship between benzfuroxan and o-dinitrosobenzene, the

e.s.r, determination of nitroso radic, al-ar)ions, photochemical.

nitrosations, deoxygenat:ion to a nit):ene and a.ddition to dienes

Organic synthesis has beer._ substantially he].ped by the

chem:i.stry of the C-nitroso function Lut it would appear that it

will be even more richly rewarded in the future. Two examples

may serve to illustrate. In the first t addition of the nitroso

group to a C-H bond adjacent to an o]e:Einic, azomethine or other

unsaturated linkage offers a promising method to be developed

2for introducing a functional group at an sp carbon atom. The

second example consists in the emerging chemistry of the nitroso

group conjugated with one or more unsaturated linkages and is

demonstrated in conjugate addition and valence isomerization

reactions of nitroso olefins and in the recently discovered

ethynyl nitroso compounds.

A comprehensive presentation(1)of the chemistry of the

C-nitroso compounds appeared recently. The present work is

intended to be complementary and to include new information in

the rapidly growing field.

B. Preparative Methods

i. Nitric oxide and radicals

In an early recognition of the affinity between nitric oxide

and organic rad:Lcals, i't was assumed that the appearance of a

blue color on mixing triphenylmethyl with nitric oxide in ether

in the absence of air denoted the presence of triphenylnitroso...

methane (equation i). Reversibility of the reaction was

suggested by the disappearance of the. blue color and recovery of

starting materials on evaporation of the solvent (2).

(C6115)3C. + NO ,<............... (C6H5)3CNO(1)

Many reactions which lead to the fc)rmation of nitroso

c.ompounds are best understood on the basis of a combJ.nation of

nitric oxide with. an appropriate free radical. It is such a

combination, for example, which permits r-J..trJ.c oxide to inhibit

free radical chain reactions (3). The formation of the lower

molecular-weight nitrosoalkanes has been observed in gas-phase

reactions between nitric oxide and the corresponding a!kyl group

generated in. situ by the photolysis of an azoa].kane (4), pyrolysis

of a dia]_kyl mercury compound (5), photolysis of an alkyl ha].ide

(6, 7), the addition of a radical such as nitrogen dJ.oxide to an

olefin (8) (equation 2), and by other means. It is reported that

_!-irradiation of a mixture of carbon tetrachloride and nitric

oxide leads to the formation of trJchloronitrosomethane (9).

Nitric oxide readily combines with the cyclohexyl radical which

may have been generated by the action of a chlorine atom on

cyclohexane (10) (equation 3) and with the reactive diradical

form of _p-xylylene (ii) (equation 4).

ethylene has not been detected in the reaction mixture obtained

from trifluorochloroethylene and nitric oxide (13) and a reaction

presumably initiated by nitrogen dioxide gives satu_.ated products

3instead. Nitroso olefins with the substituent attached to sp

carbon have been prepared in a similar way (14) (equation 6)

through irradiation of an allylic iodide in the presence of nitric

oxide.

Carhonyl derivatives with the nitroso group attached to the

intermediate in the photochemical oxidation of nitric oxide to

nitrogen dioxide in acetone (18). The formation of nitroso

aromatic compounds by the combination of aryl rad.icals and

nitric oxide apparently has not been reported.

Only a few nitrosoacetylenes in which the substituent is

attached to an sp carbon are known, none of which have been

obtaihed in reactions employing nitric oxide. Experiments with

bromoacetylene and nitric oxide led to the conclusion that the

ethynyl radical (HC_C- Z---_.HC=C:) is unreactive to_Jard nit,:ic

oxide (19). Primary products formed arc carbon mono_{ide and

2. Irradiation of nitrosyl halides and alkanes

Irradiation of mixtures of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons

and nitrosyl halides will also lead to the formation of corres-

ponding nitrQsoparaffins. A mixture Of products may be obtained

from a hydrocarbon in which hydrogen atoms are not equivalent.

The dimer of nitrosocyclohexane has been obtained from cyclohexane

and nitrosyl chloride upon irradiation by ultra-violet light (22).

When the reaction, assumed to proceed by the formation and

recolabination of radicals, is carried out in the presence of

strong acid, such as hydrochlo._fic or sulfuric acid or phosphorous

oxychloride, the product underg<_es isomerization, first to the

Oxime and then by a Beckman rearrangement into the cyclic amide,

caprolactam (23) (equation i0). There is a report that irradia-.

tion of a mixture of cyclohexane, benzophenone, concentrated

hydrochloric acid and nitric oxide in which oxygen is also

present leads to the formation of an unidentified dJnitroso-

cyclohexane (24).

=NO]i(! 0)

Irradiation with Co 60 of cyc!ohexane solutions containing

nitrosy] chloride has also brought about the formation of nitroso-

cyclohexane (isolated as the isomeric oxime of cyclohexanone)

along with cyclohexyl chloride and cyclohexanone (25).

3. Pyrolysis and photolysis of nitrite esters

Pyrolysis or photolysis of a nitrite ester may reault in an

intramolecular rearrangeraent by a concerted mechanism or may

require a dissociat_o_ followed by a recombination. _%0

formation of nitrosomothane and acetone from tort-butyl nitrite

by e ithc.r pyrolysis (26) or pLotolysis (27)

i0

is satisfactorily accounted for on. the has:is of initial cleavage

into nitric oxide and the trimethylme'[:hoxy radical. The ]atLer

then further dissociates into acetone and the methyl radical

which combines with nitric oxide (equation ]].). Ethane -is a].so

6. Nitrosation of secondary aromatic amines

. Fz=,cher-Hepp reaction Nitrosation of secondazy aromatica .' t-,

amJn< s generally occurs initially at nitrogen and is reversib].e.

In hydroch].o:_ic or hydrobromic acid the N-nitroso comloound

rearranges to the para-nitroso isomer. The isomerization, known

16

as the Fischer-Nepp reaction, proceeds intermolecular]_y with the

intermedial.e formation of nJtrosyl chloride follo',_ed by nitro-

sation generally at the para-position (49) (equation 25).

Denitrosation of an aromatic N-nitrosamine appears to be more

rapid in hydrochloric acid than it is in sulfuric acid (50),

in agreement with low yields for the isomerization step when

carried out in sulfuric acid (49). This suggests that nuclear

nitrosation occurs directly wheh certain secondary aromatic amines

are appropriately treated in concentric.ted sulfuric acid. The

reaction does not occur in nitric acid (51).

The intermediate formation of nitrosyl chloride in the

7. Nitrosation of primary aromatic amines

Under appropriate conditions a variety of primary aromatic

aminc, s will undergo nuclear ni-trosation rather than diazotization.

Nitrosy! sulfuric acid in concc:_rtrated sulfuric acid transforms

19

_-naphthylamine into its 4-nitro._-{o derivative (57) and nitrous

acid nitrosated a pyrimidine ring carbon in the presonce of

both a primary and secondary amine function (5<1) (equation 30).

In a similar reaction nitrosation occurs at the 3.-position in

2-hydroxy- 4- amino-pyridin e (59).

8. Nitrosation of phenols

Phenols arr'c readily nitrosated at _o-and ]_.positions; tbjmo]

(60) and _.-naphthol (60), undergo mononitrosation. Both 2,6-

dibromophenol and 2,6-dibromophenol-4-D react with soditurL nitrite

in aqueous alcohol by general base catalysis (61) (equation 3])

with nitrosodeprotonation occurring faster than ni[-rosodedeuteration

(kH/kD=3.6). _/{ith nitrous acid, resorcinol is dinitrosated to

2,4-dinitrosoresorcinol (62) and phlorogucinol to trinitroso-

phlor0glucinol (62).

Following the observation that an attache_ methyl group

decreased, whereas an attached carboxyl group incJ;eased, the

reactivity Of a tertiary carbon in a cyelohexane ring toward

nitrosation by nitrosyl sulfuric acid in concentrated sulfuric

acid (65) (equations 36, 37) it was found that cyeloa!ky! (ring-

size 5 through 7) carboxylic acids and the _-branched carboxvlic

acids generally decarbo;<ylated on similar treatment (66). q_he

assumntion that c_-nitrosocarbo-:ylic acids a_;e intermediates (67)

has been eh_).llenged and it is claimed that c_-nLtrohocyc!ohe_;ane-

car])oxylic acid [s not an intermediate in the nitrosative

decarbo_/ylation of cyclohe}_:anecarboxylic acid with the formation

of Capro\actam (68).

The carboxyl group may be replaced by other carbonyl groups,

e.g., ci<clododecanone oxime is obtained from formylcyclododecane

(69) and cyclohexanone oxime is obtained from benzoylcyclohe_,_ane

(70). These latter reactions are reminiscent of the base catalyzed

nitrosation and cleavage of certain cyclic ketones (71) (equation 38).

14. Geminal nitrosohalides from oxJmes

Oximes are transformed into gem-halonitroso derivatives on

treatment with hypohalous acid. Development of the blue color

of the product is the basis for Piioty's qualitative determina-

tion of the presence of an oxime (].08). With only occasional

bursts of interest, Piloty's reaction lay dormant until gem-

chloronitroso derivatives of hydrocarbons attracted attention

as products in the reaction between irradiated nitrosyl chloride

and hydrocarbons or irradiated mixtures of chlorine, nitric oxide

34

and hydrocerb.o_s (109). The p:_:incipal product is an oxJme

as is demonstrated in this im]?o.rtant method for the synthesis

of cyclohexanone oxime, an intermc_diate in a preparation of

caprolactam.

Oxidation of the product to the corresponding halonitro

derivative by halogens in a.n alkal:i.ne medium may be elimJ.nated

by treating the oxime with chlorine in ether (ii0) or by treat-

ment with chloroamides, e.g. N-chloroacetamide, N-chlorocaprolactam,

N-chlorourea and N,N-dichlorosulfonamides (lll). N-Bromosuccinimide

in aqueous sodium carbonate has also been used (112). A lesser

known reaction discovered by Rheinboldt (_113) occurs between

nitrosyl chloride and an oxime (equation 67) and is especially

interesting in its application to aldoximes.

Explanations for the transformation of ketoximes into gem-

halonitrosoalkanes on treatment with halogen have been based upon

Conceivable tautomers for an oxime. Hal0genation of a tautomeric

monofunctional primary or secondary nitrosoalkane appears to be

1_nlikely since their prototropic rearrangement in the gas phase,

melt or in solution into oximes _.s not detectably reversible (114)

(equation 68). In addition, it is reported that nitrosoparaffins

35

are not halggenalied under tile conditions which transform oximes

into gem-.halonitrosoa].]tanes (115). Addition of chlo_:ine to the

}{2cHN° ............_' _{2c=_°n (6@)

oxime double bond followed by an elimination of h.ydrogen chloride

(equation 69) has been accepted as more probable (l].0) but

has been chal].enged (.].].5) on the basis of an apparent require-

ment fo:¢ hydrogen to be attached to at least one (_,-carbon

in the oxime. Of twelve monoximes which lacked hydrogen at an

_-Carbor, only Michler's ketone oxime reacted, as predicted, in

the presence of acid, with chlorine with the formation of a

nitroso compound. Although the proposed requirement for hydrogen

attached to at least one _-carbon was fulfilled in 75 examples

of oximes which were transformed by chlorine into nJ.troso

derivatives, it is difficult to understand why o- and m-nitro-

acetopl-_enone o_:.Jmes each failed to _eact v,hereas aoeto]-)l:,cnone

but these a:ce known to be transformed into furoxans under .the

Conditions employed (1].6).

To account for the possibility of participation by

hydrogen at an _-carbon, Kosinski has proposed (.]_15) a r_echanism

which invokes Raikova's fiautomerization of an oxime (].].7)

(e<Tuation 70). Followinq chlorination at nitrogen Jn a vinyl

however, the final step in equation 71 must be questioned insofar

as conjugate addition of hydrogen chloride to an _,B-unsaturated

nitrosoalkene would be expected (equation 72), cf. C.22.

15. Estcts of geminal r,,.itrosoalcohols from oximes

Two methods for oxidation at the a-carbon of nitroso compounds

are reminiscent of the reactJ.ons leading to the formation of

gem-nitrosoha].oalkanes discussed in the last section.

The intermediacy of a. gem-nitrosofluoro derivative was

assumed in the formation of dimethyl fluoronJ, tromalonate from

the reaction between potassium dimethyl oximinomalonate and

perchloryl fluoride in dimethylformamide (].22) (equation 77) and

in the sarae reaction mixture the formation of a perchlorate ester

of a 9em-hydroxynitroso derivative is considered in an explanation

for the formation of another product, a ketomalonic ester.

In the other oxidation, ge.m n3_tlc,.,o_ceta{,eo are produced

from ketoximes and lead tetraacetate (123) (equation 78) and

OXime O-methyl ethers are reported as by-products (125). Nitro-..

sobenzoates are similarly prepared with lead tetra.]enzoace (124)

The suggestion (123, 125) that the reaction proceeds with the

m., __ ....intermediate formation of free raoica.] ....has been confirmr_d by

an e.s.r, study of comparatively stable iminoxy radicals

Obtained from ketoximes by oxidation with lead tetraacetate.

It was concluded that the unpaired spin density resided on oxygen

and nitrogen and that the structure was best described as a

resonance hybrid: R2C:N-O-_:_--_, R2C:N-O: (]_26). This result

is consistent with initial acetoxylation at nitrogen from which

either a _em-.nitrosoacetate or an oxime O-methyl ether could be

formed (equations 78 and 79). Further interaction between the

-_em n__trosoc,cut_te and acetoxy radicals may occur (126)

Oxidation of hydroxylamines is a preferred method for the

preparation of corresponding nitroso d<::rivatives but limited in

al?plication by the accessibility of the starting materials which

generally are reduc.tion products from nitro compounds or oxid.gtion

products from primary amines. In such a two-step process nitro--

benzene is reduced by zinc and ammonium chlol-ide to phenyl-

hydroxylamine which is oxidized by sodium dichromate in sulfuric

acid to nitrosobenzene in ove:call yie].d of near].y 55% (128).

include mercuric oxic]e(129)_ potassium ferricyanide (130) perio-

dates in alkaline medium (].31) periodic acid (132) chlorine (133),

18. Oxidation of primary amines

Oxidation of primary amines to hydroxylamines requires a

reagent which attaches oxygen to nitrogen. Reagents which have

been successful include Ca_?o's acid (monopero-_ysulfuric acid),

anhydrides, hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid, permanganate

(often with formaldehyde) and hypochlorous acid. Generally the

subsequent ozidation occurs readily thereby providing an impor-

tant route for the preparation of nitroso compounds. The

elimination or suppression of further oxidation, e.g., oxidation

at nitrogen to the corresponding nitro compound or oxidation

at c_rbon, is often a limiting factor to consider.

Nitrosobenzene is one of at least seven o'<idation products

obtained when aniline is treated with hypochlo;_:ous acid (139).

On the other hand, the o;<idation of o-nit:_:oanili_)e ])y a

hypochlorite solution is a preferred method for the preparation

of benzfuroxan (].16) (equation 88). An impl-oved yield of

OCI

(88)

45

nitrosobenzene is reported for the oxidation of aniline by

permanganate with formaldehyde in sulfuric acid (].40), a

method which transforms cyc]ohe__ylamine into nitrosocyclo---

hexane in yields over 80% (141). The latter oxidation is

also effected by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of sodium

tungstate (142) .

Bamberger found Cafe's acid to be a general reagent for

oxidizing aliphatic primary amines in which the amino group

is attached to a tertiary carbon atom and re): primary aromatic

amines (]43, 144). Quantitative amounts of nitroso compounds

were obtained from the isomeric nitroanJlJnes (145). Apparently,

the oxidation j:< facilitated by elects:on releasing groups;

P_-phenylenediamine is transformed into p-nitroaniline, but

p-nitrosoan].line may also be isolated when the reaction is carried

out in ether (146) (equation 88a). Acylation of one amino g:coup

controls the oxidation which proceeds to the formation of a

nitroso derivative without substantial further oxidation (147).

After three mi:¢utes Caro's acid in ether can oxidize terh-

butylamine to 2-methyl-2-nitrosoprop&_ne (144). Better yields

are obtained in the similar oxidation of 4--amino-4-methylpentanone-2

(144) (equation 89). The inte)m-_ediate formation of nitroso

46

compounds in the c)-.:iclation of tertiary alky], p: imary amines to

COrresponding nitroparc!ffins is d(_:morJstz-atEd by the formatioyl

of a characteristic b].ue color which persists if oxidation is

incomplete (]48).

22. Reduction and deoxygenatio1_ of nitro compounds

Reduction of a nitro compound leads first to the formation

of a nii roso compound_ In an acid medium the latter is rapid]y

reduced to an amine with the coy_responding hydroxylamJne as an

intem_ediate_ Reduction in an a]kaiine medium gives rise to an

azo,-<v com_:ound resuiting from a condensation betwe<'n the nitroso

eompk}und and the corresponding hydroxylamineo Best yields of

nitzoso compounds are generally obtained from reductions in

neutral media. The exceptional reduction of primary and

secondary nitroparaffins by stannous chloride does not proceed

beyond the initial stage presumably because rapid isomerization

to an oxime takes place.

5O

An electrolytic reduction of nitro])enzene with a ncutra].

electrolyte gave a good yield of nitz-osobenzcne (159). Poor

yields have been reported for deo>:y(3c_lation with bar:lure o>:ide

(160) and reduction _,;ith hydzoxy].amine in methanol (]_61) or

meta]_lic salts such as mercuric ch].oride, zinc c;h!orJ.de (162

or sodium bisulfite (163). In the latte:i: example nit_:oso

compounds are intermediates .i.n the rcductive su].fonation of

azo_It_tic nitro com]?ounds to _]ll]iY!ostl]_!o]]ic:,-._C_-l.C[s{]:'J_]?J_aro_iE:L:l.oll

With an intramolecular condensation the reduction of 3---nitro-

4-dimethylami_]oto].uene was stopped at the nJ.troso st.age wJLh

the formation of 1,5-dimethylbenz:kmidazole (]_(53) (e,']uation 97).

].2. Diazoalkanes

Many combinations of nitroso compounds and diazoalkanes

lead to nitrones (331) (equations 19]_, 192, 193, 194). In the

reaction wi.th diazomethane oxidation may occur and the product:

is a bis-nitrone (equation ].91). The same nitrone is obtained

from the reaction between formaldehyde and phenylhydroxylamine

and from the reaction between diazomethane and nitrosobenzene

(332) (equation 195). It has been suggested that the reaction

proceeds by e].ectrophilic attack by ni12roso nitrogen upon

diazoalkane carbon (333). This is in agreement with the formation

of an adduct between trifluoronitrosomethane and diazomethane

which subsequently loses nitrogen (321). On treatment with

di_2zomethane, the reduction of nitrosomesitylene to the corres-

ponding hydroxylamine (334) may have proceeded with the initial

formation of a nitrone followed by the KrBhnke reaction, cf.C.18.,

in which the nitro-_._e is c]_ec_ved 12o an _:]_dc]2yde and a der_ivative

of hydro>:},] am_;_>.,-?.

An unsymmetrically substituted diene raay combine with a

nitroso monomer to give a mixture of the two expected structural

isorr,,ers (337). Apparently the monosubstituted ].--aryl-butadienes

give exclusively the dJhydrooxazJnes in which oxygen is attached

to the benzylic carbon; the disubstituted 1-phenyl--.4-carbomethoxy-

butadiene gives the J.somer in which nitrogen is attached to the

benzy].ic carbon (338). Nitrosobenzene failed to react with

ant ]i:_:acene (335).

Aliphatic nitroso compounds arc: more resistant to dienes;

2-mei.hyl-2-nitrosopropane failed to react with 2,3-dimethyl-

Both t_-halo- and g.--cyanonitrosoa].kanes a].so combine with

to react with 2,3-diphenyl-, l,].-diphenyl-, and 1,2,3,4-tetra-

pheny]butadier_e -1,3 (34].) may be attributed to a combination

of steric and electronic effects but a steric hJmdrance does

not prevent the addition of aromatic nitroso compounds to 1,3-

cyclopentadienone (343).

In support of both a linear and a cyclic pentazene intermediate

(_345), it has been shown by isotopic labeling that the two outer

nitrogens in the product azide are derived from the outer nitro--

gens in hydrogen azide (equation 201). The_ reaction has been

extended to the preparation of _-nitroazidoalkanes (346).

Nitrosobenzene is feebly basic (pEa "-_-" 0 at 25 ° in absolute

comFounds arc; sufficiently nucleophilic to form adducts with

P_-to]uene sulfinic acid (328) hydrogen chloride (348, 349, 350)

and hydrogen bromide (349). Presumably the adduets are hydroxyl-

amines (.equation 202). In one instance a nitrosotoluene was

transformed into a cresol by mineral acid conceivably by cleavage

to a nitrosyl halide followed by diazotization of unchanged

nitrosoto].uene and hydro].ysis (348) (equation 203). This agrees

of a new carbon-nitr0gen rather than a new oxygen-nitrogen bond

(355) (equations 205, 206)• Ring-closure to phenoxazine derivatives

15. Complexes with metal salts and Lewis acids and metalchelates

Certain nitroso bases give colored precipitates of the

Corresponding ferro- and ferricyanide complexes. For example,

P_-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline ferrocyanide precipitates in

red-brown needles which appear blue by reflected light (356).

Sunlight irradiation of a potassium ferrocyanide solution with

the formation of a complex salt with RNO of the type K 3

i

_e(CN)5NH_3 ] and RNO is brought about by sunligh, t and isNa 3

accompanied by a color change from bright yellow to violet or

green and has been used for the detection of aromatic nitroso

compounds (358).

Complex salts from nitroso compounds and certain metallic

halides have been noted in several instances. The green solution

of nitrosobenzene, when mixed with an alcoholic solution of

cadmium iodide, slowly deposits very small colorless crystals of

tl_e salt, (C6H5NO)5.CdI 2 (359). With bismuth trichloride and

P_-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline, a similar complex,

2 ._P-NOC6114N(CH3)2_, 3BiCl3, is formed (360). Yellow amorphous

COmplexes have been reported for 2C6H5NO.SnC14 and 2C6H5NO_TiCl 4

(361). By the direct addition of one mole of p_-nitroso-N,N-

dimethylaniline with one mole each of various uranyl salts in

t

103

suitable sol_vents, amorphous colored addition compounds are

formed. For example, p-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline uranyl

nitrate is amorphous, dark yellow and explosive; bis (p-nitroso-

N,N-dimethyl-aniline) uranyl nitrate is orange-red and also

explosive (362). Attempts to prepare similar salts from

unsubstituted dimethylaniline failed.

A i:i adduct from nitrosobenzene and boron trichloride

has been detected but not isolated (363) and a 2:1:]_ adduct from

trifluoronitrosomethane, perfluoroethylene and phosphorous

trichloride has been isolated (364) (equation 207).

A similar attack by nitroso nitrogen on a terminal

methylene group in an azomethine linkage has been described

(371) (equation 216). Probab]_y the base catalyzed addition of

17. Grignard reagents

The early work of Wieland demonstrated the initial formation

of an N,N-disubstituted hydroxylamine salt which subsequently

may be reduced by an excess of the Grignard reagent to a

secondary amine (374, 375) (equation 219). Hydroxylamines were

donating groups such as methoxy and dimethylamino occupied the

para-position and further reaction leading to the expected sec-

ondary amine was detected (375) as well as reduction to corresponding

aZobenzenes (376). The formation of intermediate nitroso radical

anions (1377) appears probable but would not be required for the

formation of £-tolylphenylnitric oxide from either p_-nitroso-

toluene with phenylmagnesium bromide or nitrosobenzene wil-h

18. Ehrlich-Sachs reaction

A base catalysed condensation between an active methylene

group and the nitroso group attached to an aromatic ring is

known as the Ehrlich-Sachs reaction (380). It is presumably

initiated by a nucleophilic attack by the corresponding carbanion

on nitroso nitrogen. Dehydration of an assumed intermediate

hydroxylamine gives tile expected product, an anil, in competition

with oxidation to a nitrone (equation 221). Unreacted nitroso

compound may serve as the oxidizing agent and is thereby reduced

to an azoxy compound or an amine. The catalyst is usually

provided by an aqueous alcoholic soda solution but sodium alkoxides

(381, 382) , alkali (383), piperidine (384) potassium cyanide,

trisodium phosphate and other bases have been effective. In

general the reaction leads to a mixture and there is limited

19. Amines, hydroxylamines, hydrazines

Amines.{ hydrazines and hydroxylamines are additional

reagents which may attack the nitroso nitrogen. Azo compounds

are formed in the condensation of primary aromatic amines with

aromatic nitroso compounds generally carried out under mild

Conditions in acetic acid (.392) (equation 227). Unsymmetrically

Substituted azo compounds are readily obtained; p.-toluidine and

nitrosobenzene or aniline and p-nitrosotoluene give near].y the

theoretical amount of benzene-azo-p_-toluene (393).

From a kinetic study a rate determining step in which

protonated or acid-activated nitrosobenzene attacks nitrogen of

free aniline in acetic acid has been postulated (394) with the

recognition that a protonated N-anilinohydroxylamine may be an inter-

mediate. Oxidation of the interraediate accounts for the formation

of corresponding azoxy compounds as by-products (395).

In reaction with m- and p-nitroani]ine, nitrosobenzene gives

the expected azo compound; but o-nitroaniline combines with

nitrosobenzene to give o-nitro-E'-nitrosodiphenylamine (392)

(equation 228). It is reported that o-nitroaniline does not react

with either o- or m- nitronitrosobenzene.

The condensation may lead to interesting variations

as the following three reactions will illustrate. (i) An

unidentified product, C26HIdON2, was obtained from nitroso-

benzene and _-naphthylamine (396). (2) Aniline condenses

with each nitroso group in derivatives of p-dinitrosobenzene

to give both the expected bis___-azo- as well as the azoazoxy-

products (397). (3) Azophenine is obtained on treating p-

nitrosodiphen_lamine with aniline in the pl_e_(:,r_ces_of its hydro-

chloride (398) (equation 229 ) .

There is a lack of information on possible reactions

between primary aliphatic amines and nitroso compounds.

Dilute aqueous ethyl amine reacts with l-nitroso-2-naphthol

to give l-nitroso-2-N-ethylaminonaphthalene (399, 400) and

no produc[ was reported which would indicate a reaction at

114

the nitroso group. In genera] aromatic nitroso amines are

produced by digesting nitrosophenols with hot solid alr_onium

chloride and ammonium acetate (401). Secondary amines may

react in a complicated way with nitros0benzene to give

azobenzene, nitrobenzene, aniline and azoxybenzene. A small

portion of the a_aine is changed into an N,N-dialkylhydroxyl-

amine which also appears to be formed when nitrosobenzene is

heated for a long time with a tertiary amine (402). It would

appear that secondary amines are not highly reactive toward

the nitroso group since piperidine is sometimes employed as

a catalyst for other reactions. In concentrated sulfuric

acid certain nitroso compounds and diphenylamine condense

through the a_-position to form highly colored blue

quinonimines, sometimes used to detect the presence of a

nitroso group [403).

Safranine, one of the earliest synthetic dyes, is a

derivative of phenazine. A safranine dye may easily be

Obtained by heating p_-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline with a

primary aromatic amine in the presence of its hydrochloride

(404).

Hydroxylamine will transform an aromatic nitroso compound

into a diazonium hydroxide (400, 405). The reaction is probably

catalysed by base and is limited to those nitroso derivatives

which may not isomerize into oximes. As expected, many

115

nitrosopyrroles and nitrosophenols do not react in this way

with hydroxylamine (406). On the other hand primary and

Secondary amino derivatives of aromatic nitroso compounds are

more resistant to isomerization and are often diazotized by

hydroxylamine. The transformation of p_-anilinonitrosobenzene

into _-anilinophenyl azide also demonstrates that an initially

fomned diazonium hydroxide may react further with hydroxylamine

to form an azide (.407) (equation 230).

A condensation between an aromatic hydroxylamine and an

aromatic nitroso compound leads to (an) azoxy compound(s) and

may occur in acidic, neutral or basic solutions. From either

p_-chlorophenylh_droxylamine and nitrosobenzene or _-chloro-

nitrosobenzene and pheny]hydroxylamine, a mixture of all

possible (Tour) symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted

azoxybenzenes are formed (.409) (equations 232, 233). Apparently

an equilibrium between each nitroso and hydroxylamino compound

is present. In the condensation between nitrosobenzene and phenyl-

hydroxylamine in acid or neutral media, the rate is proportional

to the concentration of each reactant and shows a variation with

acid concentration. Two mechanisms proposed to fit the data

(409) require (i) a reaction between free hydroxylamine and free

nitrosobenzene in neutral media (equation 234) and (2) a

Condensation between phenylhydroxylamine and protonated nitroso-

benzene in acidic media (equation 235). Either intermediate

accounts for the rapid equilibration between substituted and

unsubstituted nitroso and hydroxylaraino compounds (equation 232)

and for the loss of one-half of the isotope when one reactant

is labeled with 018 (410). Each is consistent with the require-

ment for an intermediate with equivalent nitrogen atoms as

demonstrated with the coidensation between phenylhydroxylamine

and nitrosobenzene containing N 15 (411). In the latter example,

azoxybenzene was monobrominated and reductively cleaved with

the result that half of the isotope was found in aniline and half

in p-bromoaniline.

Activation energies for corresponding condensations in

acid or neutral media of nitrosobenzene with aniline (Ea 5.83

kcal/mole) ahd phenylhydroxylamine (E 10.8 kcal/mole) anda

activation entropies (_$½-55.6 cal deg -I mole -I for aniline

and L_S_-32.5 cal deg -I mole -I (estimated) for phenylhydroxyl-

amine) reveal a higher order of reactivity for the aniline-

nitrosobenzene reaction in agreement with a greater basicity of

aniline over phenylhydroxylamine (pKa 5.804 for protonated

_A

118

aniline and 3.462 for protonated phenylhydroxylamine in

methanol at 29 ° (394)).

In the presence of certain bases nitrosobenzene and phenyl-

hydroxylamine rapidly produce quantitatively nitrosobenzene

anion radicals detected by e.s.r. Second-order kinetics for

the decay of the radical anions is consistent with the following

rapid equilibrium for the condensation in basic solution (412)

(equation 236]. It is particularly interesting that the nitro-

sobenzene radical anion is slowly formed in a solution of

azoxybenzene in dimethyl sulfoxide 50% saturated with potassium

hydroxide (1412).

Apparently an expected adduct is readily formed on mixing

a monosubstituted or an unsymmetrically di'substituted hydrazine

with an aromatic nitroso compound. Dehydration to a triazene

either does not occur or is insignificant and the predominant

reaction for the intermediate is an oxidation to a triazene-N-

oxide (413, 414_ (equations 237, 238). A diarylamine is also

produced in certain condensations between an arylhydrazine and

an aromatic nitroso compound. From isotope labeling it has

been shown that the amine nitrogen is generated from the nitroso

group [415). A possible explanation would require dehydrogenation

to phenyldiimide and its decomposition to phenyl radicals. A

diaryl nitroxide, produced by the combination of nitrosobenzene

and phenyl, would then be reduced to a corresponding diaryl

amine [equation 239).

20. Substitution reactions in aromatic nitroso compounds

Substitution reactions of nitrosobenzene are unknown.

Bromination '(349) and nitration (420), which give p-bromo- and

p-nitronitrosobenzene respectively, do not require ring-activation

121

through electron release from the nitroso group since they

may proceed with the formation of intel_ediate hydroxylamine

derivatives. An explanation for the catalysis of the

bromination reaction by hydrogen bromide requires the initial

formation of N-bromophenylhydroxylamine (.349) (equation 243).

In the absence of more definitive information a similar

explanation based on the intermediacy of a phenylhydroxylamine

derivative in the nitration reaction should be questioned.

The reaction is carried out in carbon tetrachloride containing

phosphorous pentoxide with dinitrogen pentoxide as the

nitrating agent.

As an activator in nucleophilic displacement reactions of

certain aromatic compounds, the nitroso group is more effective

than the nitro group. In boiling sodium hydroxide solution

2,4-dinitrodimethylaniline is barely attacked whereas p-nitroso-

dimethylaniline is hydrolyzed to give nearly quantitative

yields of dimethylamine and quinone monoxime (421). Extension

of this reaction to other p-nitroso-N,N-dialkylanilines provides

122

an important preparative method for pure secondary amines.

Displacement of the alkoxy group in an alkyl ether of p-nitroso-

phenol may occur in a similar manner on treating the ether

with a primary aromatic amine in the presence of acid (421a)

(equation 243a) but £-nitrosophenol undergoes more complex

changes. In the presence of aniline, it is transformed into

ArNH3+

_-ONC6H4OR + ) £-ONC6H4NHAr (243a)

-ROH 2

p-hydroxyazobenzene in acetic acid medium, into azophenine

(cf. equation 229) in hydrochloric acid and into an indoaniline

in strong sulfuric acid. A greater reactivity of p-bromonitro-

sobenzene in comparison with _-bromonitrobenzene toward silver

nitrate has been described also as an illustration of the

electron withdrawing power of the nitroso group (421).

Dipole moments and base-strengths provide additional

evidence of the electron-withdrawing capacity of the nitroso

group. The dipole moment of 3.2D for nitrosobenzene is reduced

to 0.84D for _-nitronitrosobenzene (422). The large value of

6.9D for £-nitrosodimethylaniline which exceeds the vector sum,

4.8D, of the moments of dimethylaniline and nitrosobenzene has

been ascribed to a contribution from a zwitterionic structure,

cf.c.3., where the zwitterion itself would be expected to have

a dipole moment in the order of 30D (423).

123

The zwitterionic structure for _-nitrosodimethylaniline

may accoun£ for its otherwise unpredictably high base strength

(pKa 4.0) (424) which is about one pK unit lower than that of

N,N-dimethylaniline (pKa 5.15) (425). In marked contrast

p--nitroaniline (pKa i.ii) (426) is a weaker base than aniline

(pKa 4.62) (425) by over three pK units.

Resonance between the nitroso group and an attached aromatic

ring would be reflected in a shortening of the C-nitroso bond.

In p-iodonitrosobenzene this has been demonstrated in a C-nitroso

o o

bond of 1.28 A, appreciably shorter than the C-N bond of 1.49 A

in aliphatic amines (427).

21. Cleavage of the C-nitroso bond

It has been suggested that initial nitrosation at carbon

is reversible in nitrosative decarboxylation (equation 35) and

that mineral acid may replace the nitroso group in a nitroso-

toluene with hydrogen (.equation 203). There are several other

reactions in which cleavage of the C-nitroso bond occurs

readily. Geminal dihalides may be prepared from corresponding

nitrosochlorides and chlorine (428) (.equation 244). At room

temperature dimethylaniline in ether replaces the nitroso

group in perfluoro 2-nitroso-2-methylpropane with hydrogen

(.428) _quation 245).

It should be noted that a molecular rearrangement is apparently

required for the formation of the product, hexafluorodimethyl-

amine, in the latter reaction. A similar cleavage in the mass

spectrometer leads to the forraation of the nitrosyl cation

(NO + ) (429). Pyrolysis of geminal nitrosocyanides also proceeds

with initial cleavage of the C-nitroso bond (430) (equation 248).

The reversible photochemical dimerization of perfluoro-

nitrosoalkanes cf°C.l., provides a classical example of the

photolytic cleavage of the C-nitroso bond. In another example

it is presumed that perfluoronitrosoethylene is initially

formed in the irradiated mixture of perfluoroiodoethylene and

nitric oxide which gives decomposition products (431) (equa£ion

249). Irradiation of nitrosyl cyanide brings about dissociation

into nitric oxide and cyanogen radicals (432).
