- Microsomal oxidation of N,N-diethylformamide and its effect on P450- dependent monooxygenases in rat liver
-
N,N-Diethylformamide (DEF) is a hepatotoxic polar solvent in which metabolism has not been investigated. In this study we examined the following: (a) the oxidative metabolism of DEF using both liver microsomes from rats pretreated with selected P450 inducers and purified P450 enzyme (2B1, 2E1, 2C11); and (b) the effect of administration of DEF and its metabolite, the monoethylformamide (MEF), on induction and/or inhibition of the P450 isoforms in rats. DEF was deethylated by microsomal P450-dependent oxidation forming acetaldehyde and MEF according to Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters. Microsomes from rats pretreated with acetone and pyrazole (selective P4502E1 inducers) or rats pretreated with dexamethasone and 200 mg/kg DEF were able to deethylate DEF in a biphasic manner, showing a low K(m) component with a V(max) of about 0.2 nmol/(min·mg of protein) and a K(m) between 70 μM and 250 μM. The low K(m) component was not present in control microsomes or in microsomes from rats treated with phenobarbital, β- naphthoflavone, or clofibrate, where linear kinetics were observed. The use of purified P4502E1 and 2C11 in a reconstituted system showed that 2E1, which oxidized DEF with a V(max) of 4.5 nmol/(min·nmol of P450) and a K(m) of 0.7 mM, can partially account for the low K(m) DEF deethylase, whereas 2C11, which oxidized DEF with a V(max) of 4.8 nmol/(min·nmol of P450) and a K(m) of 17 mM, might be the high K(m) deethylase. The purified 2B1 was barely able to deethylate DEF. A confirmation of the role of 2E1 in DEF metabolism was obtained by using various selective inhibitors of P450 isoforms and immunoprecipitation experiments with anti P4502E1 IgG. The low K(m) component of DEF deethylation in acetone-or pyrazole-induced microsomes was strongly inhibited (~90%) by diethyldithiocarbamate, 4-methylpyrazole, and anti-2E1 IgG, but in 200 mg/kg DEF-induced microsomes the inhibition was partial, suggesting that other P450(s) may be involved. Administration of DEF 200 mg/kg ip for 4 days induced hepatic microsomal P4502E1-dependent aniline hydroxylase, P4502B1/2-linked pentoxyresorufin O-depentylase, 16β- testosterone hydroxylase P4503A1/2-associated erythromycin N-demethylase, and 6β-testosterone hydroxylase. Alternatively, the same dose regimen of MEF induced only the aniline hydroxylase and depressed the 3A1/2-linked activities. Immunoblot experiments verified these data. These findings indicate that DEF, at low concentrations, is predominantly oxidized by P4502E1 and that this enzyme may be induced in rodents by repeated MEF or DEF treatment, thereby increasing their own metabolism and potentially their cytotoxicity through the formation of ethyl isocyanate.

- Tris(pyrazolyl)borate Cobalt-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of C=O, C=C, and C=N Bonds: An Assistant Role of a Lewis Base
-
The combination of tris(pyrazolyl)borate cobalt complexes and Lewis base is developed as an efficient catalyst precursor in the homogeneous hydrogenation. A broad substrate scope including carbonyls, alkenes, enamines, and imines is reduced with 60 atm of H2 at 60 °C. Mechanistic studies support the hydrogenation operates through a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP)-like reduction process. These results highlight the development of novel non-noble metal catalytic processes, when combined with the diverse small molecule activation chemistry associated with FLPs.

- Organocatalytic Decarboxylation of Amino Acids as a Route to Bio-based Amines and Amides
-
Amino acids obtained by fermentation or recovered from protein waste hydrolysates represent an excellent renewable resource for the production of bio-based chemicals. In an attempt to recycle both carbon and nitrogen, we report here on a chemocatalytic, metal-free approach for decarboxylation of amino acids, thereby providing a direct access to primary amines. In the presence of a carbonyl compound the amino acid is temporarily trapped into a Schiff base, from which the elimination of CO2 may proceed more easily. After evaluating different types of aldehydes and ketones on their activity at low catalyst loadings (≤5 mol%), isophorone was identified as powerful organocatalyst under mild conditions. After optimisation many amino acids with a neutral side chain were converted in 28–99 % yield in 2-propanol at 150 °C. When the reaction is performed in DMF, the amine is susceptible to N-formylation. This consecutive reaction is catalysed by the acidity of the amino acid reactant itself. In this way, many amino acids were efficiently transformed to the corresponding formamides in a one-pot catalytic system.

- Method for preparing methallyl alcohol and amide simultaneously
-
A method for preparing methallyl alcohol and amide simultaneously is characterized in that methylallyl carboxylate taken as a raw material and an amine compound taken as an ammonolysis agent react under the action of a catalyst to produce methallyl alcohol and an amide compound. The methylallyl carboxylate and the amine compound taken as the ammonolysis agent are firstly adopted, and the methallyl alcohol and the amide compound are obtained under the action of the catalyst. The reaction process is a bulk reaction, no solvents are added, almost no wastewater or salt are produced, and byproduct methyl allyl ether is not produced; the defect that a large number of wastewater is produced through hydrolysis is overcome due to adoption of ammonolysis, the methallyl alcohol and the amide compound are coproduced directly by use of ammonoysis, coupling production is realized, and the cost is reduced.

- Gold-Catalyzed Reductive Transformation of Nitro Compounds Using Formic Acid: Mild, Efficient, and Versatile
-
Developing new efficient catalytic systems to convert abundant and renewable feedstocks into valuable products in a compact, flexible, and target-specific manner is of high importance in modern synthetic chemistry. Here, we describe a versatile set of mild catalytic conditions utilizing a single gold-based solid catalyst that enables the direct and additive-free preparation of four distinct and important amine derivatives (amines, formamides, benzimidazoles, and dimethlyated amines) from readily available formic acid (FA) and nitro starting materials with high level of chemoselectivity. By controlling the stoichiometry of the employed FA, which has attracted considerable interest in the area of sustainable chemistry because of its potential as an entirely renewable hydrogen carrier and as a versatile C1 source, a facile atom- and step-efficient transformation of nitro compounds can be realized in a modular fashion. Renewable formic acid as a flexible feedstock: A versatile heterogeneous gold-based catalytic system has been developed for the controlled, flexible, and target-specific reductive transformation of nitro compounds using stoichiometric equivalents of formic acid as a key starting material under mild and convenient conditions. The overall operational simplicity, high chemoselectivity, functional-group tolerance, and reusability of the catalyst make this approach an attractive and reliable tool for organic and process chemists.

- Conformation of secondary amides. A predictive algorithm that correlates DFT-calculated structures and experimental proton chemical shifts
-
The magnetic deshielding caused by the amido group on CON-CHα protons of secondary amides can easily be correlated with DFT-based structures at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory via a novel algorithm that refines previous models, such as the classical McConnell equation. The shift is given by δ = a + 2.16 cos2(α - 35)/d, where α denotes the virtual dihedral angle resulting from linking the carbonyl and the α-carbons and d is the distance (A) between the shifted proton and the carbonyl oxygen. Notably, in this equation a is a parameter that can be optimized for different solvents, namely, CDCl3, DMSO-d6, and D2O. For the development of these correlations, the preferential conformation of amides is taken from the optimized structures in the gas phase obtained at the DFT level. The deshielding on anti and gauche protons in both rotamers of (Z)-acetamides and E/Z isomers of formamides has been evaluated. This methodology has proved to be highly reliable, allowing us to discard ab initio or DFT conformational arrangements when shifts calculated by the above-mentioned equation differ from the experimental values. Thus, the anti disposition between the CHα proton and the N-H bond appears to be the more stable conformation of simple amides. For amides bearing only one proton at Cα, a local syn minimum can equally be characterized. The rotational barriers around the CON-alkyl bond along with the pyramidalization of the amido group have also been reassessed. As the conformation is taken away from anti or local syn minima, the nonplanarity of the amido group appears to increase.
