Preparing Grignard Reagents from 3-Bromopropylamine hydrobromide and other Compounds
I have taken on a recent project for school that involves preparing a grignard reagent that would allow for the addition of a primary amine or
carboxyl group to a molecule.
I have selected 3-Bromopropylamine hydrobromide (1), 2-Chloroacetamide (2), and maybe 4-Iodobutyric acid (3).
Has anyone had any problems preparing grignard reagents that contain amine or carboxyl groups?

Grignards react with carboxyl groups including amides. Preparing the Grignard of 3-bromopropylamine hydrobromide might be possible if you first basify
it in a nonpolar solvent so it doesn't cyclize. Cyclization should be slow because 4-membered rings are not favorable.
Bowever, I'm not sure you've interpreted the instructions correctly. All Grignards can be carboxylated by rxn with carbon dioxide. Rxn of
organomagnesium with imines gives an amine. Are you sure these aren't the intended reactions?

I am trying to prepare grignard reactions that will react with C60 to give products that terminate in a amine or carboxyl group.
Would it be possible to protect the amine groups with Boc? I know that will not work with the carboxylic acid groups as butyl alcohol is the
protecting groups and esters react with grignard reagents.

I think the Grignard would deprotonate the amine, wouldn't it?
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.

The carboxyl group can be protected as an orthoester. For the amine it is harder. N,N-dibenzyl is a possibility. BOC is runnin in the wrong direction.

I will have to change my plan.
What about :
Reaction of CH2=CHCH2MgCl with C60
Anti syn addition with BH3-THF
Oxidation to carboxylic acid with KMnO4
Acid work up
esterification with Boc-3-Amino-1-propanol to give the final product terminating in a primary amine
One potential issue: Potentially hydrating the C60 cage (which would be unwanted)
Alternatively:
Reaction of CH2=CHCH2MgCl with C60
Anti syn addition with BH3-THF
Form an ether with 3-Amino-1-propanol

Amines can be protected as the Stabase adduct for use with gringards.

Acids as ortho esters (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004040390...) or as oxazolines (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jo00932a024).

This is a good idea,since it eliminates the need for protecting
groups as well as leaves room for furthur FGI's.
I recently thought of a way to make acids from alkenes using bleach which could be applied here.Treating the alkene with bleach would give a
halohydrin,which would get oxidised to ketone by the remaining bleach and then undergo a favorskii rearrangement in the basic bleach medium to give an
acid.
As for making amines,you can hydroaminate the alkene

Do you have any publications or articles relating to either of those ideas? I protocol?

my alkene to acid idea is basically a combination of 3 well known reactions in one pot - synthesis of halohydrins, steven's oxidation and the
favorskii rearrangement.Since its just an idea,I don't have any refs to back it up.
alternatively,you could convert the alkene to epoxide and make it undergo a meinwald rearrangement to aldehyde,which could further be oxidised to
acid-https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2015/cc/c4cc0715...
As for the hydroamination -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroamination

Assuming the C60 reacts with the grignard but is stable to the subsequent manipulations (fullerene chemistry is not my forte), why not use
allylmagnesium bromide and the oxidatively cleave the alkene to the aldehyde or acid (depending on which you'd prefer/require. You'd obviously lose a
carbon by doing this (C3 to C2 derivatives) but if chain length is not a specific requirement then it should be fine.
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemieux–Johnson_oxidation for details on the oxidative cleavage. There is an alternative that replaces OsO4 with
RuCl3 or KMnO4 to the same effect. Theres also the potential to use ozone.
Again, the caveat to all this is that the fullerene is stable to the oxidative conditions required to functionalise the allylated-C60

Fullerene chemistry is a relativly new field (from about the mid 1980 to now) but their reactions with nucleophiles, such as grignard reagents, are
well documented. I will attach a paper that is a general overview.
