The Akabori-Momotani reaction can be used to synthesise pseudoephedrine in 50% yield from N-methylalanine and benzaldehyde. This paper investigates electronic effects of substituted benzaldehydes on the reaction to synthesise amphetamine type stimulants and identifies several new Akabori-Momotani by-products, 1-[(4-methoxybenzyl)(methyl)amino]ethanol (11c), 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,4-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidine (12c), 1,2,3,4-tetramethyl-5,6-di-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (13c) and 1,2,4,5-tetramethyl-3,6-di-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (14c). This paper also investigates pseudoephedrine and methamphetamine isomeric distribution from the Akabori-Momotani reaction with the aid of molecular modelling to understand why more pseudoephedrine than ephedrine is produced.
赤堀-百谷反应可用于由N-甲基丙氨酸和苯甲醛合成伪麻黄碱,产率为50%。本文研究了取代苯甲醛对合成苯丙胺类兴奋剂反应的电子效应,并鉴定了几种新的赤堀-百谷副产物,1-[(4-甲氧基苄基)(甲基)氨基]乙醇(11c)、2-(4-甲氧基苯基)-3,4-二甲基-1,3-恶唑烷(12c)、1,2,3,4-四甲基-5,6-二-(4-甲氧基苯基)哌嗪(13c)和1,2,4,5-四甲基-3,6-二-(4-甲氧基苯基)哌嗪(14c)。本文还借助分子模型研究了赤堀-百谷反应中伪麻黄碱和甲基苯丙胺的异构体分布,以了解为何生成的伪麻黄碱比麻黄碱更多。
