- Proton Switch in the Secondary Coordination Sphere to Control Catalytic Events at the Metal Center: Biomimetic Oxo Transfer Chemistry of Nickel Amidate Complex
-
High-valent metal-oxo species are key intermediates for the oxygen atom transfer step in the catalytic cycles of many metalloenzymes. While the redox-active metal centers of such enzymes are typically supported by anionic amino acid side chains or porphyrin rings, peptide backbones might function as strong electron-donating ligands to stabilize high oxidation states. To test the feasibility of this idea in synthetic settings, we have prepared a nickel(II) complex of new amido multidentate ligand. The mononuclear nickel complex of this N5 ligand catalyzes epoxidation reactions of a wide range of olefins by using mCPBA as a terminal oxidant. Notably, a remarkably high catalytic efficiency and selectivity were observed for terminal olefin substrates. We found that protonation of the secondary coordination sphere serves as the entry point to the catalytic cycle, in which high-valent nickel species is subsequently formed to carry out oxo-transfer reactions. A conceptually parallel process might allow metalloenzymes to control the catalytic cycle in the primary coordination sphere by using proton switch in the secondary coordination sphere.

- Understanding the mechanism of N coordination on framework Ti of Ti-BEA zeolite and its promoting effect on alkene epoxidation reaction
-
The function of ammonium salts on the epoxidation performance over Ti-BEA zeolite was investigated in detail. Experiments of alkene epoxidation, side reactions of epoxide and decomposition of H2O2 with or without ammonium salts were designed, and the UV-Vis spectroscopy was employed to analyze the structure of Ti-hydroperoxo species. It is revealed that the ammonia (or amines) dissociated from the ammonium salt would chelate with the linear Ti-η1(OOH) species and form a bridged Ti-η2(OOH)-R species, which is more stable, more weaker in epoxide adsorption and acidity as well. Therefore, side reactions and H2O2 decomposition would be suppressed, and both alkene conversion and epoxide selectivity would be promoted simultaneously. On the other hand, the excessive NH3?H2O (NH3/Ti>1) or NaOH bond with the Ti-η2(OOH)-R species and generate salt-like Ti-η2(OO)-M+ species, resulting in the deactivation of Ti active center. While for ammonium salts, e.g. NH4Cl, the limited dissociation degree along with the acidic environment help the Ti active center to maintain in highly active. In short, this work provides a practical Ti active center tuning method for Ti-BEA zeolite, as well as a thorough understanding of its Ti-hydroperoxo species.

- Enantioselective organocatalysis-based synthesis of 3-hydroxy fatty acids and fatty γ-lactones
-
3-Hydroxy fatty acids have attracted the interest of researchers, since some of them may interact with free fatty acid receptors more effectively than their non-hydroxylated counterparts and their determination in plasma provides diagnostic information regarding mitochondrial deficiency. We present here the development of a convenient and general methodology for the asymmetric synthesis of 3-hydroxy fatty acids. The enantioselective organocatalytic synthesis of terminal epoxides, starting from long chain aldehydes, is the key-step of our methodology, followed by ring opening with vinylmagnesium bromide. Ozonolysis and subsequent oxidation leads to the target products. MacMillan’s third generation imidazolidinone organocatalyst has been employed for the epoxide formation, ensuring products in high enantiomeric purity. Furthermore, a route for the incorporation of deuterium on the carbon atom carrying the hydroxy group was developed allowing the synthesis of deuterated derivatives, which may be useful in biological studies and in mass spectrometry studies. In addition, the synthesis of fatty γ-lactones, corresponding to 4-hydroxy fatty acids, was also explored.

- Catalyst-Controlled Multicomponent Aziridination of Chiral Aldehydes
-
A highly diastereoselective and enantioselective method for the multicomponent aziridination of chiral aldehydes has been developed with BOROX catalysts of the VANOL (3,3′-diphenyl-2,2′-bi-1-naphthol) and VAPOL (2,2′-diphenyl-(4-biphenanthrol)) ligands. Very high to perfect catalyst control is observed with most all substrates examined including aldehydes with chiral centers in the α- and β-positions. High catalyst control was also observed for a number of chiral heterocyclic aldehydes allowing for the preparation of epoxy aziridines, bis(aziridines) and ethylene diaziridines. Application of this reaction in the synthesis of β3-homo-d-alloisoleucine and β3-homo-l-isoleucine is reported.

- Dinuclear Iron(III) and Nickel(II) Complexes Containing N-(2-Pyridylmethyl)-N′-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine: Catalytic Oxidation and Magnetic Properties
-
Dinuclear FeIII and NiII complexes, [(phenO)Fe(N3)]2(NO3)2 (1) and [(phenOH)Ni(N3)2]2 (2), were prepared by treating Fe(NO3)3?9 H2O and Ni(NO3)2?6 H2O in methanol, respectively, with phenOH (=N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-N′-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine) and NaN3; both 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Two ethoxo-bridged FeIII and two azido-bridged NiII were observed in 1 and 2, respectively; corresponding antiferromagnetic interaction via the bridged ethoxo groups and strong ferromagnetic coupling via the bridged end-on azido ligands within the dimeric unit were observed. Complex 1 did not exhibit any catalytic activity, while 2 exhibited excellent catalytic activities for the epoxidation of aliphatic, aromatic, and terminal olefins.

- Trinuclear nickel and cobalt complexes containing unsymmetrical tripodal tetradentate ligands: Syntheses, structural, magnetic, and catalytic properties
-
The coordination chemistries of the tetradentate N2O2-type ligands N-(2-pyridylmethyl)iminodiethanol (H2pmide) and N-(2-pyridylmethyl)iminodiisopropanol (H2pmidip) have been investigated with nickel(ii) and cobalt(ii/iii) ions. Three novel complexes prepared and characterized are [(Hpmide)2Ni3(CH3COO)4] (1), [(Hpmide)2Co3(CH3COO)4] (2), and [(pmidip)2Co3(CH3COO)4] (3). In 1 and 2, two terminal nickel(ii)/cobalt(ii) units are coordinated to one Hpmide- and two CH3CO2-. The terminal units are each connected to a central nickel(ii)/cobalt(ii) cation through one oxygen atom of Hpmide- and two oxygen atoms of acetate ions, giving rise to nickel(ii) and cobalt(ii) trinuclear complexes, respectively. Trinuclear complexes 1 and 2 are isomorphous. In 3, two terminal cobalt(iii) units are coordinated to pmidip2- and two CH3CO2-. The terminal units are each linked to a central cobalt(ii) cation through two oxygen atoms of pmidip2- and one oxygen atom of a bidentate acetate ion, resulting in a linear trinuclear mixed-valence cobalt complex. 1 shows a weak ferromagnetic interaction with the ethoxo and acetato groups between the nickel(ii) ions (g = 2.24, J = 2.35 cm-1). However, 2 indicates a weak antiferromagnetic coupling with the ethoxo and acetato groups between the cobalt(ii) ions (g = 2.37, J = -0.5 cm-1). Additionally, 3 behaves as a paramagnetic cobalt(ii) monomer, due to the diamagnetic cobalt(iii) ions in the terminal units (g = 2.53, =D= = 36.0 cm-1). No catalytic activity was observed in 1. However, 2 and 3 showed significant catalytic activities toward various olefins with modest to good yields. 3 was slightly less efficient toward olefin epoxidation reaction than 2. Also 2 was used for terminal olefin oxidation reaction and was oxidised to the corresponding epoxides in moderate yields (34-75%) with conversions ranging from 47-100%. The cobalt complexes 2 and 3 promoted the O-O bond cleavage to ~75% heterolysis and ~25% homolysis.

- A discrete {Co4(μ3-OH)4}4+ cluster with an oxygen-rich coordination environment as a catalyst for the epoxidation of various olefins
-
Using the sterically hindered terphenyl-based carboxylate, the tetrameric Co(ii) complex [Co4(μ3-OH)4(μ-O2CAr4F-Ph)2(μ-OTf)2(Py)4] (1) with an asymmetric cubane-type core has been synthesized and fully characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Interestingly, the cubane-type cobalt cluster 1 with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid as the oxidant was found to be very effective in the epoxidation of a variety of olefins, including terminal olefins which are more challenging targeting substrates. Moreover, this catalytic system showed a fast reaction rate and high epoxide yields under mild conditions. Based on product analysis and Hammett studies, the use of peroxyphenylacetic acid as a mechanistic probe, H218O-exchange experiments, and EPR studies, it has been proposed that multiple reactive cobalt-oxo species CoVO and CoIVO were involved in the olefin epoxidation.

- Synthesis and unique catalytic performance of single-site Ti-containing hierarchical macroporous silica with mesoporous frameworks
-
Single-site Ti-containing hierarchical macroporous silica with mesoporous frameworks (Ti-MMS) was successfully prepared by a solvent evaporation method using organic surfactant and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) colloidal crystals as the template. The formation of a well-defined macroporous structure composed of mesoporous silica walls was characterized by SEM and TEM observations. The successful incorporation of tetrahedrally coordinated Ti oxide moieties within their frameworks was also confirmed by spectroscopic techniques such as UV-vis and XAFS measurements. Comparative studies revealed that Ti-MMS exhibited higher catalytic activities for the epoxidation of linear α-olefin compared to Ti-containing mesoporous silica without macropores (Ti-MS). The reaction rate was significantly enhanced on Ti-MMS depending on increases in the alkyl chain length of linear α-olefins. It was also found that Ti-MMS showed good catalytic performance in the selective epoxidation of methyl oleate, which is a kind of unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), under acid-free reaction conditions with tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) because of the advantages of the combination of hierarchical macroporous and mesoporous structures.

- "click" tetradentate ligands
-
A series of triazole-based N4 tetradenate ligands 1a-d are efficiently synthesized using CuI-catalyzed azide-alkyne "click" strategy and are readily coordinated to many metal ions (e.g. MnII, NiII, ZnII and FeII). The X-ray structures of the resultant metal-complexes (4a-d, 5a, 6a and 7a) reveal an octahedral mononuclear structure with two co-ligands bonded in cis sites and the two triazoles as nitrogen donors to the metal center. The MnII-complexes (4a-d) show efficient catalytic activities in the epoxidation of various aliphatic terminal olefins with peracetic acid, and feature with low catalyst loading, fast conversion and high yields.

- Simple dihydrosphyngosine analogues with potent activity against MDR-Mycobacterium tuberculosis
-
Fifteen dihydrosphingosine analogues have been synthesized and tested in vitro against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Two ether (3 and 4b) and one diamine (8b) derivatives have displayed high mycobactericidal potency, with similar MIC values of 1.25 μg/mL, against the virulent strain H37Rv, as well as against a clinical isolate resistant to the five first-line anti-TB drugs. The three compounds, tested on other eleven cultured MTB strains with different multi-drug-resistance (MDR) patterns, retained their MIC values for most strains, or even lowered it, as in the case of compound 4b, which, assayed on strain No. 332, also resistant to all first-line anti-TB drugs, attained the MIC value of 0.78 μg/mL.

- Synthesis of epoxides catalyzed by a halide-free reaction-controlled phase-transfer catalytic system: [(CH3(CH2) 17)2N(CH3)2]3[PW 4O32]/H2O2/Dioxan/Olefin
-
The epoxidation of alkenes was successfully catalyzed by a recyclable catalytic system: [(CH3(CH2)17) 2N(CH3)2]3[PW4O 32]/H2O2/dioxan/olefin. This new catalytic system is not only capable of catalyzing homogeneous epoxidation of alkenes with a unique reaction-controlled phase-transfer character, but also avoids the use of chlorinated solvents. The reactions were conducted in a biphasic mixture of aqueous H2O2/dioxan, and many kinds of alkenes could be efficiently converted to the corresponding epoxides in high yields. Both new and used [(CH3(CH2)17)2N(CH 3)2]3[PW4O32] catalyst was characterized by 31P magic angle spin NMR, and IR. CSIRO 2009.

-
A number of long chain diamines and aminoalcohols and several of their alkyl, acyl and carbamoyl derivatives, have been synthesized and evaluated for their apoptotic activities using the Jurkat cell line. Apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry and the best results were found for the aminoalcohols displaying either a free alcohol or an amine with at least, one free hydrogen atom. The apoptotic pathway was mediated by a disruption of the mitochondria transmembrane potential and caspase-3 activation, inducing DNA fragmentation at the phase G1/S of the cell cycle.

- Epoxidation of alkenes under liquid-liquid biphasic conditions: Synthesis and catalytic activity of Mn(III)-tetraarylporphyrins bearing perfluoroalkyl tails
-
Four tetraarylporphyrins bearing one n-C8F17 chain on each meso-aryl group have been synthesized, The Mn(III)-complexes of these new compounds (Mn-1 - Mn-4) were used as catalysts in alkene epoxidations carried out under aqueous-organic biphasic conditions. High epoxide yields were obtained with catalysts in which, along with perfluoroalkyl chains, bulky substituents were present at appropriate positions. The expected general enhancement of stability and catalytic activity due to the electron-withdrawing effect of n-C8F17 substituents was not observed. However, Mn-4 was found to be an exceptionally active catalyst for NaOCl promoted epoxidation of poorly reactive linear α-alkenes.
