Arylamines are mutagens and carcinogens and are thought to initiate tumors by forming adducts with DNA. The major adducts are C8-guanyl, and we have previously suggested a role for guanyl-N7 intermediates in the formation process. N7-Aminoguanosine (Guo) was synthesized and characterized, with the position of the NH2 at N7 established by two- dimensional rotating frame Overhauser enhancement NMR spectroscopy. In DMF, N7-NH2Guo formed C8-NH2Guo and the cyclic product C8:5'-O-cycloGuo. In aqueous media, these products were formed along with 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroGuo, N7-NH2guanine, and a product characterized as a purine 8,9-ring-opened derivative (N-aminoformamidopyrimidine). The rate of aqueous decomposition of N7-NH2Guo increased with pH, with a t( 1/2 ) of 10 h at pH 7 and a t( 1/2 ) of 2 h at pH 9. The rate of migration of NH2 from N7 to C8 is fast enough to explain the formation of C8-NH2Guo from the reaction of 2,4- dinitrophenoxyamine with Guo but not the formation of C8-(arylamino)Guo in the reaction of Guo with aryl hydroxylamine esters; however, the fluorenyl moiety may facilitate the proposed rearrangement by stabilizing an incipient negative charge in the transfer. In the reaction of Guo with N-hydroxy-2- aminofluorene and acetylsalicylic acid, a peak with the mass spectrum expected for N7-(2-aminofluorenyl)Guo was detected early in the reaction and was distinguished from C8-(2-aminofluorenyl)Guo. NMR experiments with [8- 13C]Guo also provided some additional support for transient formation of N7-(2-aminofluorenyl)Guo. We conclude that a guanyl-N7 intermediate is reasonable in the reaction of activated arylamines with nucleic acids, although an exact rate of transfer of an N7-arylamine group to the C8 position has not yet been quantified. The results provide an explanation for the numerous products associated with modification of DNA by activated arylamines. However, the contribution of 'direct' reaction at the guanine C8 atom cannot be excluded.

The preparation of 2,2,2-trifluoroacetaldehyde O-(aryl)oxime, a previously inaccessible precursor of trifluoroacetonitrile, via reaction of hydroxylamine and trifluoroacetaldehyde hydrate is reported. This precursor released CF3CN in quantitative yield under mildly basic conditions. The precursor was successfully used in the synthesis of trifluoromethylated oxadiazoles. The facile, cost-effective, scalable, and recyclable procedure makes these trifluoroacetonitrile precursors generally applicable.

Nonheme iron oxygenases utilize dioxygen to accomplish challenging chemical oxidations. A further understanding of the Fe-O2 intermediates implicated in these processes is challenged by their highly transient nature. To that end, we have developed a ligand platform featuring phosphinimide donors intended to stabilize oxidized, high-spin iron complexes. O2 exposure of single crystals of a three-coordinate Fe(II) complex of this framework allowed for in crystallo trapping of a terminally bound Fe-O2 complex suitable for XRD characterization. Spectroscopic and computational studies of this species support a high-spin Fe(III) center antiferromagnetically coupled to a superoxide ligand, similar to that proposed for numerous nonheme iron oxygenases. In addition to the apparent stability of this synthetic Fe-O2 complex, its ability to engage in a range of stoichiometric and catalytic oxidation processes demonstrates that this iron-phosphinimide system is primed for development in modeling oxidizing bioinorganic intermediates and green oxidation chemistry.

Axially chiral cyclohexylidene oxime ethers exhibit unique chirality because of the restricted rotation of C=N. The first catalytic enantioselective synthesis of novel axially chiral cyclohexylidene oximes has been developed by catalytic desymmetrization of 4-substituted cyclohexanones with O-arylhydroxylamines and is catalyzed by a chiral BINOL-derived strontium phosphate with excellent yields and good enantioselectivities. In addition, chiral BINOL-derived phosphoric acid catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution of α-substituted cyclohexanones has been performed and yields versatile intermediates in high yields and enantioselectivities.
