Abstract
-Diols such as 1,6-hexanediol and 1,7-heptanediol react with secondary amines in the presence of catalytic amount of ruthenium complex at 180C for 24 hrs to give the corresponding diamino compounds in good yields. The yield of diamino compound was affected by the molar ratio of -diol to secondary amine. The reaction was also affected by the nature of the phosphorus ligands employed. On the other hand, aromatic primary amines react with 1,2,6-hexanetriol in the presence of at 180C for 3 hours under argon atmosphere to give selectively 1-substituted aryl-3-hydroxyperhydroazepines in good yields. Selective synthesis of these products show that two primary hydroxy groups (1,6-positions) oxidize predominantly than secondary hydroxy group (2-position) by ruthenium-phosphorus complex. The yields were decreased according to the order of para-, meta- and ortho-substituent.
