    Study Notes

    Types of Amines and Reactions

    • Tertiary amines are susceptible to oxidative N-dealkylation, oxidative deamination, and N-oxidation reactions.
    • Secondary amines can be metabolized to lactam derivatives.

    Lactam Formation

    • Lactam metabolites in alicyclic tertiary amines arise from a specific reaction type.

    Drug Metabolism

    • Propranolol demonstrates slow bisdealkylation involving tertiary aliphatic amines.
    • Some β-adrenergic antagonists maintain intact aromatic hydroxyl groups, reducing significant metabolism.

    Carbinolamine Pathway

    • Secondary amines proceed with N-dealkylation through the carbinolamine pathway.
    • The oxidative N-dealkylation of tertiary aliphatic and alicyclic amines involves an initial α-carbon hydroxylation to create a carbinolamine intermediate.

    Metabolite Formation

    • The primary amine metabolite from oxidative dealkylation of secondary amines is susceptible to further reactions.
    • Direct oxidative deamination of secondary amines can yield aldehydes or ketones.

    N-Hydroxylamine Metabolites

    • N-hydroxylamine metabolites derived from secondary aliphatic and alicyclic amines generally undergo further reactions.

    Enzyme Involvement

    • Cytochrome P450 enzymes are primarily responsible for oxidative N-dealkylation of tertiary aliphatic and alicyclic amines.

    Mechanisms and Cleavage

    • The initial step in the oxidative N-dealkylation process involves a hydroxylation reaction.
    • N-dealkylation of t-butyl groups does not occur via the carbinolamine pathway due to steric hindrance.

    Functional Groups in Natural Products

    • Common functional groups found in natural products, such as morphine, cocaine, and nicotine, include amines and amides.

    Cleavage Outcomes

    • Spontaneous heterolytic cleavage of the C–N bond during oxidative N-dealkylation typically results in the formation of a carbonyl compound and an amine.
