Abstract:
The peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of 3,3;,5,5;-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), ortho-phenylenediamine (PDA), and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is significantly accelerated in the presence of 2-aminothiazole (AT) and melamine (MA), and an increase in their concentrations is associated with a parallel increase in the k(cat) and K(m) values for TMB and PDA. The activation of the peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of TMB and PDA is quantitatively characterized by a coefficient (degree) alpha (M(-1)) which significantly depends on pH in the range 6.2-6.4, 6.4-7.4, and 6.0-7.4 for the TMB-AT, TMB-MA, and PDA-MA pairs, respectively. An increase in the coefficient alpha with increase in pH confirms nucleophilicity of activation of the peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of the aromatic amines in the presence of AT and MA. Under optimal conditions the coefficients alpha for the TMB-AT, PDA-AT, TMB-MA, and PDA-MA pairs vary in the limits of (1.90-3.53)*10(3) M(-1).

Though catalytic hydrogenation can reduce nitrobenzenes, the reduction is nonselective in the presence of other functional groups. For instance, if nitrobenzene contains an aldehyde group,...

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
