      Reduction of nitroalkenes with SnCl2     

hi guys

Recently i was strolling across Rhodium's site and came upon a new post by Sonson that described convertion of MDP2P to its oxime followed by Na/EtOH reduction to MDA: https://www.rhodium.ws/chemistry/mdaoxime.html

The post itself was not THAT exciting but there was more:

"Different  synthesis of oximes starting with nitroalkenes should be looked into, as this could be a good alternative to the existing methods for reducing nitroalkenes. SnCl2  reduces nitroalkenes to oximes under both acidic and basic conditions[14,15,16]... Another promising route is the use of Pb in DMF [18]. This seems to reduce most nitroalkenes to the corresponding oximes."

Now people these prosaic words have filled my chest with joy, bliss and a couple of words that my vocabulary just lacks. That's in view of the complete and absolute impossibility of getting LAH (and Uemura's prolonged and conspicious silence...)

The only fucking problem is that the place where i live is a God-forgotten, village populated exclusively by imbeciles and the closest chemistry library is like a thousand miles away - believe it or not :)

My point is: could anyone interested out there in the civilized part of the world look up the original articles and post them here, PLEASE!!! And you will have for ever my sincere friendship and, in case you  happen to be a heterosexual female, incessant and most lascivious passion.

Also, SnCl2 is fairly easy to obtain - just bubble (dry) HCl into some melted tin (when cryst. from water it forms a really difficult to  dehydrate hydrate). Anyone can speculate about an easier way? Maybe Sn(OH)2 in ethanolic HCl?

      US Patents on this topic
(Rated as: excellent)
    

So, you're interested in patent numbers covering this stuff in general, ie. reduction of phenylnitropropenes, oximes, etc.?  There's two very interesting subclasses at the US Patent Office, class 564 subclass 381 on phenethylamines with alpha alkyl substituents and subclass 382 on phenethylamines with beta alkyl substituents.  There's plenty of stuff on phenylnitropropenes (as well as a lot of other reactions) including those with methoxy substituents

Here's what I found so far:

Patent US1879003 (inventor: Gorden Alles) on phenylisopropylamine via benzaldehyde and nitroethane -> phenylnitropropene which can be reduced by electrolytic reduction or by sodium amalgam in CH3COOH/EtOH, gives an example of electrolytic reduction but not the sodium amalgam reduction

Patent US2647930 catalytic reduction of nitroolefins (phenylnitropropene)

Patent US3198833 mentions in the prior art section P2P oxime reduction to the amine and P2Pol oxidation to P2P

Patent US2361372 m-CH3O-phenylnitropropene electrolytic reduction

Patent US3117160 reduction of nitroolefins (phenylnitropropenes)

Patent US3187046 discusses the apparent mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation of phenylnitropropenes to oximes which dissociate into ketones and ammonia which undergoes further reduction to the amine

Patent US1921424 discusses the conversion of dibenzyl ketone to the oxime and reduction of the oxime with Na and alcohol, no example process given.  The amine is used as a decongestant.

This one is right on the money: Patent US2233823

If anyone else wants to try Esc@peNet click the Rhodium link at the bottom of the page, click the chemistry link on Rhodium's page, scroll to the bottom and put in the US patent number to get a pdf of the patent.

I just tried looking at one of these patents at www.uspto.gov .  Go to http://164.195.100.11/netahtml/srchnum.htm and put in the US patent number.  If you don't have a TIFF plug-in or viewer I recommend AlternaTIFF.  I've seen other people using it (with Netscape) and I just tried it with MSIE 5.5.  You can get it here http://www.uspto.gov/web/menu/viewers.html

      Re: PLEASE, anyone...     

One thing I should mention is that the AlternaTIFF apparently didn't automatically put a .tif or .tiff extension on the filename when I downloaded patents from the USPTO site.  You need to put one on when you create a filename to download it (third button from the left in AlternaTIFF) or you can put one on in Windows Explorer.  You need the extension to view the patents in a browser offline.  I did find that I can view the file in Kodak Imager and Previewer without the extension, but I don't know if everybody has them.  Kodak Imager and Previewer was installed when I installed Win98SE.  I never saw them in Win95, though.

I like using the tiff files better since they scroll faster in most viewers compared to .pdf files (from Espacenet) in Adobe Acrobat.

      Finally someones reacting...     

I personally thinks the Pb/DMF route is the one. So if there is anyone with some Pb-powder...do some research! I've tried the SnCl2 in EtOAc and the results was someting deep black and not considered useful. And how about Zn in HAc?

No way.  Check this out:
Synth. Commun., 18, 693 (1988)
This reference uses easily obtainable SnCl2 in ethyl acetate to convert nitroolefins to oximes in near quantitative yields.  The reference actually uses our favorite nitroalkene as an example.  SWINM has run this rxn. on large scale w/ 2,5 Di MeO nitrostyrene and resulting dark red solid tar/chunky oxime reduced w/CTH (ammonium formate and Pd/C) for a fairly high yield of 2C-H.

I know the article yes...there are a buch of others too. Fairly good results was obtained with acetone when reducing 2,5-diMeO-6-nitro-B-nitrostyrene.
Why don't SWINM write the procedure up? Along with the appropriate analytical data of course...

Syn. Comm 18(7), 693-697 (1988)

Tin(II) halides have proven to be effective reducing agents in organics synthesis. Reactions involving stannous ions may be carried out under acidic, neutral or basic conditions and the product obtained are often pH dependent. in an earlier report, we noted that conjugated nitroalkenes were efficiently reduced to the corresponding ketoximes by tin(II) under basic conditions. Unfortunately, the method is not suitable for the preparations of aldoximes due to competing side reactions. A subsequent investigation revealed that ketoximes could also be generated by carrying out the reactions in neutral solvents. Once again, the reaction on conditions were not appropiate for preparation of aldoximes.

We now wish to report that nitroalkenes are readily reduced by SnCl2.2H2O to the corrsponding aldoximes in ethyl acetate at room temperature. Ketoximes are also obtained in excellent yields. The mildness of this method and the purity of the products obtained serve to extend the synthetic utility of stannous chloride, a safe and inexpensive reagent. The results are summarized in table I.

Experimental:
Commercially available samples (aldrich) of 1-nitro-1-cyclohexene, beta-nitrostyrene, and 9-(omega-nitrovinyl)anthracene were used as received. Other nitro compounds were prepared via published procedures. The products were characterized by their physical properties and spectral characterisitics (1H-NMR, 13c-NMR etc).

General procedure:
The synthesis of 9-anthracenylacetaldoxime is representative of the procedure employed. 9-(omega-nitrovinyl)anthracene (1.25 gr, 5 mmol), SnCl2.2H2O (2.25 gr, 10 mmol) and ethyl acetate (25 mL) were placed in a 50 mL erlenmeyer flask and the mixture stirred at room temperature. A mildly exothermic reaction ensued  which was accompanied by the gradual disappearance of the yellow coloration (nitroalkene). The reaction mixture was carefully poured into ice water and the solution was made slightly basic (pH 7--8) by addition of 5% aqeous sodium bicarbonate. The product was extracted into ether, washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent removed under reduced presure to yield essentially pure 9-anthracenylacetaldoxime, mp 177-80' (1.05 gr, 90%).

Tin(II) halides have been used extensively to reduce a variety of compounds under acidic conditions. However, only a few studies have been reported in which basic conditions were utilized (sodium stannite, Na2SnO2, forms under basic conditions).  [...]
We wish to report that nitroalkenes are readily reduced by sodium stannite to the corresponding ketoximes at room temperature. These results contrast those obtained when the reactions were carried out under acidic or neutral conditions which resulted in the formation of alpha-substituted oxime derivatives.

The following procedure is representative: a sodium stannite solution was prepared by addition of aqeous sodium hydroxide (50 mmol, 2 gr in 15 ml of water) to aqeous stannous chloride (5 mmol, 1.12 gr in 15 ml water); the initially formed precipitate dissolved to form a clear solution.  This solution was gradually added to the beta-nitrostyrene derivative (2 mmol, in 10 ml THF) at room temperature; a mildly exothermic reaction ensued. The reaction mixture was stirred for the specified time, saturated brine solution added, the product extracted into ether, (3x45 ml) and the worked up in the susual manner. Essentially pure product were obtained.
