Amido-Imido1 Tautomerization by Acid-Catalyzed Addition of Nitriles to Undec-10-enoic Acid. 1. Novel Route for Substituted Amidoundecanoic Acids and Their Possible Industrial Utilization Kallappa M.

Considering the extensive applications of oleochemicals as industrial products, preparation of a series of novel substituted amidoundecanoicacids by the reaction of different nitriles was performed. The specific nitriles fluoroacetonitrile, chloroacetonitrile, bromoacetonitrile, iodoacetonitrile, 6-methoxypropionitrile, p-ethoxypropionitrile, 0-propoxypropionitrile, B-butoxypropionitrile, and ethyl cyanoacetate were added to the double bond of undec-10-enoic acid in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid followed by hydrolysis. These newly synthesized oleochemicals have been characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance ('H NMR), mass spectral (MS), and elemental analyses. Scheme

Introduction During the past decade production and utilization of oil and fat derivatives have grown in size and diversity. These fat-derived chemicals are essential to a variety of industries such as coatings, surfactants, plasticizers, lubricant additives, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, soaps, detergents, textiles, plastics, and organic pesticides. In the industrial field there has been competition between oleochemicals and petrochemicals. The ever-increasing cost of petrochemicals has diverted the attention of chemists to synthesize new oleochemicals derived from natural oils and fats. The interest in the biological and industrial potentialities of oleochemicalshas resulted in the development of various synthetic procedures for the introduction of a heterocyclic moiety into the hydrocarbon chain. As far as the authors are aware, there are no reports in the literature on the reaction of nitriles with undec-10-enoic acid in strong sulfuric acid medium. Considering the extensive applications of oleochemicals as biological and industrial products, an attempt has been made to synthesize the novel substituted amidoundecanoic acids by the reaction of different nitriles with the double bond of undec-10-enoic acid. However, the reaction of nitriles with the alkenes in strong acid medium yielded the substituted amides has been described by Ritter and Minieri.l Experimental Section Undec-10-enoic acid (99%; Aldrich Chemical Co., Catalogue No. 12,467-2),nitriles (Fluka AG), and sulfuric acid AR (98%, Glaxo Laboratories India Ltd.) were used. The infrared spectra were taken on a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) Bomem Michelson Series instrument and a Hitachi 270-30 instrument, using KBr pellets. The 'H NMR spectra were recorded from deuterochloroform solution with a Varian T-60 spectrophotometer. The chemical shifts (6) were measured in parts per million (ppm) downfield from internal standard tetramethylsilane

Preparation of (F1uoroacetamido)undecanoicAcid. A homogeneous mixture of 18.4 g (1 mol) of undec-10enoic acid and 17.7 g (3 mol) of fluoroacetonitrile in a dropping funnel was prepared and added in 30 min to 59.4 g (6 mol) of strong sulfuric acid (98% ' ) in a three-necked liter flask fitted with a thermometer and an efficient stirrer. The temperature was maintained below 20 "C by external cooling. After complete addition, the reaction mixture was stirred for 24 h and poured into ice-cold water. The soft syrupy insoluble mass was stirred occassionally and then allowed to stand overnight in dilute acidic medium. The following morning the stirring was continued until the product had hardened to a crumbly wax. The product was washed thoroughly with distilled water and dried. Similarly, different substituted amidoundecanoic acids such as chloro, bromo, iodo, 0-methoxypropion-, ðoxypropion-, @-propoxypropion-,j3-butoxypropion-, and (carbethoxyacetamido)undecanoic acids were prepared using corresponding nitriles and undec-10-enoic acid (Scheme 1). For analytical purposes, the crude compounds were recrystallized from the aqueous alcohol. The uncorrected melting points, yield, and elemental analyses of all the compounds were given in Table 1. Mechanism. In the proposed mechanism it is found that sulfuric acid first adds to the double bond of undec10-enoic acid to form sulfate ester (11, followed by the

Results a n d Discussion All the compounds (la-i) showed strong absorption bands a t 3331-3304 and 16261591cm-' for -"stretching and -NH bending rapectively for the presence of secondary amide. The carbonyl stretching at 1707-1702 and 1652-1638 cm-l were observed for saturated aliphatic carboxylic acids and secondary amide carbonyl functional groups, respectively. The infrared spectrum of compound Ii showed a strong absorption band at 1730 cm-' for a ester carbonyl functional group. The lH NMR spectra of all the compounds (Ia-i) exhibited structure-revealing proton signals a t 6 11.5-11.9 (broad singlet, lH, for -COOH, disappeared on D2O addition), 1.3-1.5 (broad multiplet, 14H, for shielded methylene protons, -(CHz)r), and 0.9-1.2 (doublet, 3H, for a terminal -CH3). The molecular ion peaks of straight-chain monocarboxylic acids are weak but usually discernible. However, the molecular ion peaks of all the substituted amidoundecanoic acids were quite distinguishable. The most important characteristic molecular ion peaks at rnlz 44 and 60, due to the McLafferty rearrangements.2 were observed in all the compounds for the secondary amide and monocarboxylic acid functional groups, respectively. The McLafferty rearrangement due to the secondary amide groups showed dominent molecular ion peaks at rnlz 44 in all the compounds.
