ReFlux Hive Bee posted 06-07-98 05:24 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was doing a search on reductions w/ NaBH4 for another thread in Novel Discourse section and came up with the following absolutely amazing ref: Tetrahedron 54,23 pg.6293 (1998), "Sodium borohydride on wet clay; solvent-free reductive amination of carbonyl compounds using microwaves" I downloaded the abstract of the paper and I was astonished! There it was: Ketone + Amine (in montmorillonite clay + NaBh4 + MW radiation) ---> Aminated product. Now I know what your saying, other MW methods involving reflux, or HBP solvents or sealed MW bombs are inherently risky (explosion, fire, MW rad. leaking via reflux hole etc.) But what makes this system so great and relatively safe is that it uses NO SOLVENTS!! Thats right, and except for some H20 in the clay, there are no solvents and therefore none of their attendant risks! Hypothetically, this could make a fantastic method for MDMA production using easy to aquire chems (except of course for the amine source i,e: methylamine) and your microwave oven: talk about kitchen chemistry! :-) PS: I decided to post this in a new thread in this forum instead of the thread I found already in progress in the aquisitions forum because it seems that this is a more suitable place for this discussion.

Labrat Hive Bee posted 06-09-98 09:47 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the future! Just mixing some clay (K10, can be bought from chem outlet for cheap and no suspicion attached!) with a ketone and an amine, then beam it in, voila an imine. Then mix some clay with sodium borohydride, make it wet, then mix it with the imine/clay mixture, beam it once more: voila, very good yields of secondary amines in a few minutes with a household microwave. I've seen some good articles coming from the same author (Rajender) as this article. I'll keep an eye on him!

Would md-p2p + formadide or acetamide (otc) -> n-formyl-amphetamine or n-acetylamp?? Or is that extra oxygen going to make problems?? N= is weaker then the O= right?? What about md-p2p + MeNH3? When they made the schiff's base from propylamine they had to irradiate in bursts of 2 minutes on 20% power in order to keep the temp below 60 degrees to keep from losing too much propylamine from evaporation. Would extra water or solvent screw things up? How else does one make an imine? quirks Hive Bee posted 06-09-98 11:18 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (ignore that 2c-h stuff above, I was confused...)

ReFlux Hive Bee posted 06-09-98 11:30 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- quirks- The problem with using and extra solvent is that it will be vaporized (unless it hass a very HBP) and the resulting vapor can be an extreme hazard (fire, explosion, toxin etc.) As for using H20 in initial phase of rxn...hmmm. Hypothetically, perhaps a 40% aq. MeNH3 would work since the amine is still in its nucleophilic state here. Will have to do further research.

I mean, I guess the clay will have a huge surface area, and that sounds very nice for various catalytic stuff and so on, but then where do the �waves come in? Also, this sounds like very small scale stuff that I guess wouldn't scale up easily. There's a guy in Scotland who wrote a book claiming that clay is the secret to the origin of life. Um, here we are: Graham Cairns-Smith, Seven Clues to the Origin of Life, Cambridge University Press, 1985. His model includes self replicating clays, and talks about the various crystal structures, and how they might form reaction vessels for organic synthesis. He doesn't suggest there were �waves in the primordial earth though!
