Case 3-14806/=/CGC 1075 PROCESS FOR PREPARING NITROXYLS OF STERICALLY HINDERED AMINES
Nitroxyls (also called N-oxyls or nitroxides) are free radicals having an unpaired electron. They are obtainable by oxidation of secondary amines and are stable compounds, if the two carbon atoms linked to the nitrogen do not bear a hydrogen atom so that they are tertiary carbon atoms. For their preparation from secondary amines ozone may be used as oxidant tS.D. Ra~umovskii et al., Chem. Abstracts _ (1969), 95987). More frequently used as antioxidants are per-carboxylic acids (G. Chapelet-Letourneux et al., Bull. Soc. Chem.
1965, 3283) or aqueous H202 in the presence of pertungstate ion [O.L. Lebedev et al., Proc. Acad. Sci USSR, Chem. Sect., 140, (1962);
O.L. Lebedev, S.N. ICazarnovskii, Chem. Abstr. S6 (1962), 15479].
The last method is very suitable Eor the oxidation of water-soluble secondary amines. However, if the amine is only sparingly soluble in water, the reaction becomes very slow and the yields are low.
For those amines the oxidation with peracids in organic solvents is preferred, Eor example with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. Such peracids, however, are expensive materials and may cause trouble by salt formation with the amine.
A neutral oxidant which can be used in organic solvents are organic hydroperoxides, such as tert-butylhydroperoxide. O.W. Maender and E.G. Janzen [J. Org. Chem. 34 (1969), 4082] have investigated the use of tert-butylhydroperoxide for the oxidation of secondary trityl amines, but could not obtain the corresponding nitroxyles. In US
patent 3,634,346 some years later it was shown that cyclic secondary d~
amines can be oxidized with organic hydroperoxides in the presence of metal salt catalysts to yield the corresponding lactames. Thus, from the literature it was to conclude that secondary amines cannot be transformed to the nitroxyls by oxidation with organic hydro-peroxides.
Therefore it was surprising to find that by reaction of sterically hindered cyclic secondary amines with organic hydroperoxides in the presence of certain metal compounds as catalysts the corresponding nitroxyls can be obtained in high yield and purity.

More specifically, the instant invention is a process for the preparation of a nitroxyl of the formula I, wherein El and E3 are independently alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms or phenyl, E2 and E4 are independently alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, or El and E2 together or E3 and E4 together or both El and E2 together and E3 and E4 together are tetramethylene or pentamethylene, and T is a divalent group required to form a cyclic 5- or 6-membered ring.
Preferably El, E2, E3 and E4 are each methyl.
The nature of T is not critical to the instant process with the understanding that T remains inert, that is T remains chemically tmchanged, to hydroperoxide attack or to subsequent catalytic reduction.
The amines which can be oxidized according to the invention contain a nitrogen atom which is substituted by two tertiary alkyl groups.
Preferred compounds are cyclic amines having the two methylene adjacent to the ring nitrogen fully substituted by alkyl groups.

The nature of T is not critical to the instant process with the understanding that T remains inert, that is T remains chemically tmchanged, to hydroperoxide attack or to subsequent catalytic reduction.
The amines which can be oxidized according to the invention contain a nitrogen atom which is substituted by two tertiary alkyl groups.
Preferred compounds are cyclic amines having the two methylene adjacent to the ring nitrogen fully substituted by alkyl groups.
By way of illustration, 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl, 4-benzoyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl, 3-carbamoyl-
2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrrolidin-1-oxyl, N-(l-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetra-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-2-caprolactam, 3-oxyl-2,2,4,4-tetrctmethyl-7-oxa-3,20-diazaspiro[5.1.11.2]heneicosan-21-one, 4-aza-3,3-dimethyl-4-oxyl-1-oxaspiro[4.5]decane or 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-phenyloxazolidin-
3-oxyl can be prepared from the corresponding secondary cyclic amine.
The alkyl hydroperoxides which may be used in the process of this invention are tertiary-alkyl hydroperoxide, i.e., an alkane having a hydroperoxy group substituted on a tertiary carbon atom, or aralkyl hydroperoxides, wherein the hydroperoxy group is attached to the ~-carbon of an aralkyl compound.
Suitable hydroperoxides are tert-butyl hydroperoxide, tert-amyl hydroperoxide, tert-hexyl hydroperoxide, tert-octyl hydroperoxide, ethylbenzene hydroperoxide, tetralin hydroperoxide or cumene (= isopropylbenzene) hydroperoxide.
Preferred hydroperoxides are tert-butyl hydroperoxide, tert-amyl hydroperoxide, ethylbenæene hydroperoxide~ and cumene hydroperoxide.
Especially preferred are tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydro-peroxide.
The reaction is conducted in the liquid phase in solvents which are substantially inert to the reactants and the products produced theref rom .
Illustrative suitable solvents are esters, such as butyl acetate;
ketones, such as acetone; ethers such as dibutyl ether, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran; chlorinated solvents, such as methylene chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane or dichlorobenzene; alkanes, such as hexane, decane; aromatic solvents, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, isopropylbenzene (cumene).
In most instances the solvent is used in amounts up to 20 moles of solvent per mole of hydroperoxide.
In the preferred procedure the amine, the catalyst and the solvent are charged into a reaction vessel and the reaction mixture is maintained with agitation at the reaction temperature during the -~CL~ ~,3~
addition of peroxide. In another modification, reaction is efEected continuously by contacting the amine and the hydroperoxide in a solvent containing the catalyst.
Suitable reaction temperatures vary from 0 to 200C, but preferably from 50 to 150C.
The catalysts are selected from the group consisting of the metal carbonyls, the metal oxides, the metal acetylacetonates and the metal alkoxides where the metal is selected from the groupsIVb,Vb,VIb, VIIb and VIII of the periodic table. Examples of effective catalysts include vanadyl acetylacetonate, cobalt carbonyl, titanium (IV) isopropoxide, molybdenum hexacarbonyl, molybdenum trioxide and the like. Especially preferred are molybdenum and titanium catalysts.
The amount of metal ion catalyst whicll is added to the reaction mixture is not narrowly critical and need only be added in amounts effective to initiate the reaction. An additional advantage of the instant process is that large amounts of catalyst are not required.
The preferred range of cata]yst is from 0.001 mole percent or lower to about 0.1 mole percent or higher based upon the hydroperoxide employed. Any amount can be used as long as it is catalytically effective. There is no limit to the upper range other than economic considerations.
At the end of the reaction, the product mixture is separated and the desired nitroxyl products are recovered by conventional methods.
Alternatively, the reaction mixture containing the desired nitroxyl compound may be used directly for the preparation of the corresponding hydroxylamine by reductive treatment of the reaction solution. The procedure required for this reduction may be a catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a noble metal or nickel catalyst or a chemical reduction using zinc,boraneorotherclassical reducing agents.
Thus, another aspect of the instant invention is a process for the preparation of a hydroxylamine of the formula III

wherein El, E2, E3, E4 and T are as defined above, by reacting a compound of formula II as described before and subsequent reductive treatment of the reaction solution without isolation of the intermediate of formula I.
The compounds of formula I are orange to red coloured compounds and can be used as spin-labels and spin-probes in ESR spectroscopy. They can further be used as polymerization inhibitors for unsaturated compounds or as stabilizers for organic polymers against their thermal and photochemical degradat;on.

The following examples are presented for the purpose of illustration only and are not to be construed to limit the nature or scope of the instant invention in any manner whatsoever.
xample 1: Preparation of 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-l-oxyl.
___ A reactor is charged with 50 ml of reagent-grade 1,2-dichloroethane, 8.5 g (0.054 mole) oE 2,2,6,6~tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol and 0.10 g of molybdenum hexacarbonyl, Mo(C0)6. The mixture is brought to reflux to give a clear solution. A dropping funnel is charged with 27 ml of 4M tert-butyl hydroperoxide in 1,2-dichloroethane and this solution is then added dropwise into the reactor, at a rate sufficient to maintain a gentle reflux without external heat.
The addition requires about 0.5 hour after which heat is applied for 4 hours. At this point gas chromatography (~C) showed ~ 2% of unreacted amine. The reaction mixture is cooled, washed with 5 % aqueous sodium sulfite. The aqueous phase is extracted with 50 ml of chloroform and the combined organic phases are dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After evaporation of the solvents, the residue is crystallized from hexane, yielding 8.0 g (86 % yield) of orange crystals, m.p. 69-71 (lit. 71C).
(H. Lemaire, et al, ~ull. Soc. Chim. France 1968, 886).
Example 2: When an equivalent amount of molybdenum (VI) oxide, -MoO3, is substituted for the molybdenum hexacarbonyl catalyst using the method of Example 1, after two hours reaction time more than 98 % of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol is converted to the corresponding N-oxyl compound as seen by gas chromatography.

_xample 3: When an equivalent amount of vanadyl acetylacetonate is substituted for the molybdenum hexacarbonyl catalyst using the method of Example 1, some insoluble material is obtained. The reac-tion is slower and after 2 hours only 31 % of the amine is converted to the N-oxyl group as seen by gas chromatography.

tert-butylhydroperoxide in the presence of 0.2 g of molybdenum hexacarbonyl, Mo(C0)6 as described in Example 1, to provide 26.6 g of red solid (99% crude yield). Crystallization from hexane gives orange crystals, m.p. 152-159C.

Tert-butyl hydroperoxide (31.5 ml 4M solution in 1,2-dichloroethane, 126 mmole) is added within 15 minutes and the solution is refluxed for 2.5 hours. The solution is cooled to room temperature, washed twice with 100 ml water, and the organic phase transferred to a hydrogenation flask. Catalytic hydrogenation is carried out at room temperature and with a hydrogen pressure of 40 psi (2.8 kg~cm2) to yield the hydroxylamine. The palladium/charcoal catalyst is removed by filtration and the solvent is evaporated. The solid is then recrystalli~ed from ethanol-water (4:1, 250 ml), under a blanket of nitrogen to prevent oxidation of the product. A colorless solid is obtained tl3.6 g, 85 % yield) m.p. 129-134C (lit.m.p. 101C).

The following examples are presented for the purpose of illustration only and are not to be construed to limit the nature or scope of the instant invention in any manner whatsoever.
xample 1: Preparation of 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-l-oxyl.
___ A reactor is charged with 50 ml of reagent-grade 1,2-dichloroethane, 8.5 g (0.054 mole) oE 2,2,6,6~tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol and 0.10 g of molybdenum hexacarbonyl, Mo(C0)6. The mixture is brought to reflux to give a clear solution. A dropping funnel is charged with 27 ml of 4M tert-butyl hydroperoxide in 1,2-dichloroethane and this solution is then added dropwise into the reactor, at a rate sufficient to maintain a gentle reflux without external heat.
The addition requires about 0.5 hour after which heat is applied for 4 hours. At this point gas chromatography (~C) showed ~ 2% of unreacted amine. The reaction mixture is cooled, washed with 5 % aqueous sodium sulfite. The aqueous phase is extracted with 50 ml of chloroform and the combined organic phases are dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After evaporation of the solvents, the residue is crystallized from hexane, yielding 8.0 g (86 % yield) of orange crystals, m.p. 69-71 (lit. 71C).
