Remote Amino Acid Recognition Enables Effective Hydrogen Peroxide Activation at a Manganese Oxidation Catalyst

Precise delivery of a proton plays a key role in O2 activation at iron oxygenases, enabling the crucial O?O cleavage step that generates the oxidizing high-valent metal–oxo species. Such a proton is delivered by acidic residues that may either

An Amphiphilic (salen)Co Complex – Utilizing Hydrophobic Interactions to Enhance the Efficiency of a Cooperative Catalyst

An amphiphilic (salen)Co(III) complex is presented that accelerates the hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of epoxides almost 10 times faster than catalysts from commercially available sources. This was achieved by introducing hydrophobic chains that increase the rate of reaction in one of two ways – by enhancing cooperativity under homogeneous conditions, and increasing the interfacial area under biphasic reaction conditions. While numerous strategies have been employed to increase the efficiency of cooperative catalysts, the utilization of hydrophobic interactions is scarce. With the recent upsurge in green chemistry methods that conduct reactions ‘on water’ and at the oil-water interface, the introduction of hydrophobic interactions has potential to become a general strategy for enhancing the catalytic efficiency of cooperative catalytic systems. (Figure presented.).

Aromatic Donor-Acceptor Interaction-Based Co(III)-salen Self-Assemblies and Their Applications in Asymmetric Ring Opening of Epoxides

Aromatic donor-acceptor interaction as the driving force to assemble cooperative catalysts is described. Pyrene/naphthalenediimide functionalized Co(III)-salen complexes self-assembled into bimetallic catalysts through aromatic donor-acceptor interactions and showed high catalytic activity and selectivity in the asymmetric ring opening of various epoxides. Control experiments, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy titrations, mass spectrometry measurement, and X-ray crystal structure analysis confirmed that the catalysts assembled based on the aromatic donor-acceptor interaction, which can be a valuable noncovalent interaction in supramolecular catalyst development.

Epoxidation of alkenes catalyzed by some molybdenum(0) and molybdenum(IV) complexes

Catalytic epoxidations of styrene, cyclohexene, 1-octene, and 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene have been explored utilizing a variety of molybdenum(0) and molybdenum(IV) complexes as precatalysts and tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant. The catalytic activities of the complexes MoCl4(CH3CN)2, Mo(CO)3(PTA)3 (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), Mo(CO)3(Mes), and a molybdenum(IV) calix[4]arene salt, [Et3NH][Mo{tBuC4}Cl(CH3CN)] have been investigated. The progress of reactions was monitored with reference to an internal standard by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy. Most of the complexes were found to be effective precatalysts with low catalyst loadings, giving rise to good to excellent conversion of alkenes and yield of the epoxides with the formation of minimal amount of corresponding diol and other side products. The catalytic reactions were found to be most efficient between 100 and 110 °C in minimal solvent or without added solvent.

Azidolysis of epoxides catalysed by the halohydrin dehalogenase from Arthrobacter sp. AD2 and a mutant with enhanced enantioselectivity: an (S)-selective HHDH

Halohydrin dehalogenase from Arthrobacter sp. AD2 catalysed azidolysis of epoxides with high regioselectivity and low to moderate (S)-enantioselectivity (E?=?1–16). Mutation of the asparagine 178 to alanine (N178A) showed increased enantioselectivity towards styrene oxide derivatives and glycidyl ethers. Conversion of aromatic epoxides was catalysed by HheA-N178A with complete enantioselectivity, however the regioselectivity was reduced. As a result of the enzyme-catalysed reaction, enantiomerically pure (S)-β-azido alcohols and (R)-α-azido alcohols (ee???99%) were obtained.

Experimental investigation of the low temperature oxidation of the five isomers of hexane

The low-temperature oxidation of the five hexane isomers (n-hexane, 2-methyl-pentane, 3-methyl-pentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, and 2,3-dimethylbutane) was studied in a jet-stirred reactor (JSR) at atmospheric pressure under stoichiometric conditions between 550 and 1000 K. The evolution of reactant and product mole fraction profiles were recorded as a function of the temperature using two analytical methods: gas chromatography and synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry (SVUV-PIMS). Experimental data obtained with both methods were in good agreement for the five fuels. These data were used to compare the reactivity and the nature of the reaction products and their distribution. At low temperature (below 800 K), n-hexane was the most reactive isomer. The two methyl-pentane isomers have about the same reactivity, which was lower than that of n-hexane. 2,2-Dimethylbutane was less reactive than the two methyl-pentane isomers, and 2,3-dimethylbutane was the least reactive isomer. These observations are in good agreement with research octane numbers given in the literature. Cyclic ethers with rings including 3, 4, 5, and 6 atoms have been identified and quantified for the five fuels. While the cyclic ether distribution was notably more detailed than in other literature of JSR studies of branched alkane oxidation, some oxiranes were missing among the cyclic ethers expected from methyl-pentanes. Using SVUV-PIMS, the formation of C 2-C3 monocarboxylic acids, ketohydroperoxides, and species with two carbonyl groups have also been observed, supporting their possible formation from branched reactants. This is in line with what was previously experimentally demonstrated from linear fuels. Possible structures and ways of decomposition of the most probable ketohydroperoxides were discussed. Above 800 K, all five isomers have about the same reactivity, with a larger formation from branched alkanes of some unsaturated species, such as allene and propyne, which are known to be soot precursors.

Total synthesis of the macrocyclic n -methyl enamides palmyrolide a and 2 s -sanctolide a

Full details of the total syntheses of the initially reported and revised structures of the neuroprotective agent palmyrolide A are reported. The key macrocyclization step was achieved using a sequential ring-closing metathesis/olefin isomerization reaction. Furthermore, the total synthesis of the related macrolide (2S)-sanctolide A is reported. The synthesis used key elements from the synthesis of palmyrolide A, including the RCM/olefin isomerization sequence. The synthetic work described herein serves to facilitate the assignment of stereochemistry of the natural product sanctolide A and demonstrates the utility of this approach for the synthesis of macrocyclic tertiary enamide natural products.

A flexible synthesis of C33-C39 polyketide region of apratoxin: Synthesis of natural and unnatural analogues

A flexible synthesis sequence toward the synthesis of the polyketide region of apratoxin has been developed. The common step of the synthesis is a crotylation reaction. Stereospecific aldolisation, sulfate ring opening or Jacobsen HKR is also highlighted. This synthetic scheme led to the synthesis of several analogues. These examples raise the possibility of synthesising numerous analogues of this portion of apratoxins. Then, together with our supported strategy to synthesise the oxazoline analogue of apratoxin A, this paper opens the possibility to provide easily oxoapratoxin analogues for future SAR studies of this potent antitumoral compound.
