Incorporation of 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol, a putative isoprenoid precursor in the mevalonate-independent pathway, into ubiquinone and menaquinone of Escherichia coli

Incorporation of deuterium labelled 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol into isoprenoid side-chains of ubiquinone and menaquinone from Escherichia coli strongly supports the proposed intermediate role of this branched sugar derivative in the mevalonate independent pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis via glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and pyruvate.

MOF-derived hcp-Co nanoparticles encapsulated in ultrathin graphene for carboxylic acids hydrogenation to alcohols

Highly efficient conversion of carboxylic acids to valuable alcohols is a great challenge for easily corroded non-noble metal catalysts. Here, a series of few-layer graphene encapsulated metastable hexagonal closed-packed (hcp) Co nanoparticles were fabricated by reductive pyrolysis of metal-organic framework precursor. The sample pyrolyzed at 400 °C (hcp-Co@G400) presented outstanding performance and stability for converting a variety of functional carboxylic acids and its turnover frequency was one magnitude higher than that of conventional facc-centered cubic (fcc) Co catalysts. In situ DRIFTS spectroscopy of model reaction acetic acid hydrogenation and DFT calculation results confirm that carboxylic acid initially undergoes dehydroxylation to RCH2CO* followed by consecutive hydrogenation to RCH2CH2OH through RCH2COH*. Acetic acid prefers to vertically adsorb at hcp-Co (0 0 2) facet with a much lower adsorption energy than parallel adsorption at fcc-Co (1 1 1) surface, which plays a key role in decreasing the activation barrier of the rate-determining step of acetic acid dehydroxylation.

A Diaminopropane Diolefin Ru(0) Complex Catalyzes Hydrogenation and Dehydrogenation Reactions

New ruthenium (0) complexes with a cooperative diolefin diaminopropane (DAP) or the dehydrogenated iminopropenamide ligand (IPA) were synthesized for comparison with their diaminoethane (DAE)/ diazadiene (DAD) ruthenium analogues. These DAP/IPA complexes are efficient catalysts in dehydrogenation reactions of alkaline aqueous methanol which proceeds under mild conditions (T=70 °C) and of higher alcohols, forming the corresponding carbonate and carboxylates, respectively. The scope of the reaction includes an example of a 1,2-diol as model for biomass derived alcohols. Their catalytic applications are extended to the atom-efficient dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines to amides. The reaction proceeds without any additives and is applicable to the synthesis of formamides from methanol. Moreover, DAP/IPA complexes catalyze the hydrogenation of a series of esters, lactone, ketone, activated olefin, aldehyde and imine substrates. The diaminopropane Ru catalyst exhibits higher activity compared to the dehydrogenated β-ketiminate (IPA) and previously studied DAD/DAE based catalysts. We present studies on their stoichiometric reactivity with relevance to their possible catalytic mechanisms and the isolation and full characterization of key reaction intermediates.

Stereoselective synthesis of alicyclic ketones: A hydrogen borrowing approach

A highly diastereoselective annulation strategy for the synthesis of alicyclic ketones from diols and pentamethylacetophenone is described. This process is mediated by a commercially available iridium(III) catalyst, and provides efficient access to a wide range of cyclopentane and cyclohexane products with high levels of stereoselectivity. The origins of diastereoselectivity in the annulation reaction have been explored by a series of control experiments, which provides an explanation for how each stereocentre around the newly forged ring is controlled.

Synthesis and complete structure determination of a sperm-activating and -attracting factor isolated from the ascidian ascidia sydneiensis

For the complete structure elucidation of an endogenous sperm-activating and -attracting factor isolated from eggs of the ascidian Ascidia sydneiensis (Assydn-SAAF), its two possible diastereomers with respect to C-25 were synthesized. Starting from ergosterol, the characteristic steroid backbone was constructed by using an intramolecular pinacol coupling reaction and stereoselective reduction of a hydroxy ketone as key steps, and the side chain was introduced by Julia-Kocienski olefination. Comparison of the NMR data of the two diastereomers with those of the natural product led to the elucidation of the absolute configuration as 25S; thus the complete structure was determined and the first synthesis of Assydn-SAAF was achieved.
