- Metal-Organic Framework-Confined Single-Site Base-Metal Catalyst for Chemoselective Hydrodeoxygenation of Carbonyls and Alcohols
-
Chemoselective deoxygenation of carbonyls and alcohols using hydrogen by heterogeneous base-metal catalysts is crucial for the sustainable production of fine chemicals and biofuels. We report an aluminum metal-organic framework (DUT-5) node support cobalt(II) hydride, which is a highly chemoselective and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for deoxygenation of a range of aromatic and aliphatic ketones, aldehydes, and primary and secondary alcohols, including biomass-derived substrates under 1 bar H2. The single-site cobalt catalyst (DUT-5-CoH) was easily prepared by postsynthetic metalation of the secondary building units (SBUs) of DUT-5 with CoCl2 followed by the reaction of NaEt3BH. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) indicated the presence of CoII and AlIII centers in DUT-5-CoH and DUT-5-Co after catalysis. The coordination environment of the cobalt center of DUT-5-Co before and after catalysis was established by extended X-ray fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) and density functional theory. The kinetic and computational data suggest reversible carbonyl coordination to cobalt preceding the turnover-limiting step, which involves 1,2-insertion of the coordinated carbonyl into the cobalt-hydride bond. The unique coordination environment of the cobalt ion ligated by oxo-nodes within the porous framework and the rate independency on the pressure of H2 allow the deoxygenation reactions chemoselectively under ambient hydrogen pressure.

- Enzymatic Primary Amination of Benzylic and Allylic C(sp3)-H Bonds
-
Aliphatic primary amines are prevalent in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials. While a plethora of processes are reported for their synthesis, methods that directly install a free amine group into C(sp3)-H bonds remain unprecedented. Here, we report a set of new-to-nature enzymes that catalyze the direct primary amination of C(sp3)-H bonds with excellent chemo-, regio-, and enantioselectivity, using a readily available hydroxylamine derivative as the nitrogen source. Directed evolution of genetically encoded cytochrome P411 enzymes (P450s whose Cys axial ligand to the heme iron has been replaced with Ser) generated variants that selectively functionalize benzylic and allylic C-H bonds, affording a broad scope of enantioenriched primary amines. This biocatalytic process is efficient and selective (up to 3930 TTN and 96percent ee), and can be performed on preparative scale.

- Regioselective arene functionalization: Simple substitution of carboxylate by alkyl groups
-
Arenes with various alkyl side-chains were synthesized in high yields and excellent regioselectivities. Starting from toluic and naphthoic acids, the carboxylate group was conveniently substituted by alkyl halides by Birch reduction and subsequent decarbonylation. The method is characterized by inexpensive starting materials and reagents, and methylation of arenes was realized. Besides simple alkyl substituents, the scope of arene functionalization was extended by benzyl, fluoro, amino, and ester groups. We were able to control the alkylation of 1-naphthoic acid during Birch reduction by the addition of tert-butanol. This allowed the regioselective synthesis of mono and bis-substituted naphthalenes from the same starting material.

- New efficient substrates for semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase/VAP-1 enzyme: Analysis by SARs and computational docking
-
Structure activity relationships for semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase/vascular adhesion protein-1 (SSAO/VAP-1) were studied using a library of arylalkylamine substrates, with the aim of contributing to the discovery of more efficient SSAO substrates. Experimental data were contrasted with computational docking studies, thereby allowing us to examine the mechanism and substrate-binding affinity of SSAO and thus contribute to the discovery of more efficient SSAO substrates and provide a structural basis for their interactions. We also built a model of the mouse SSAO structure, which provides several structural rationales for interspecies differences in SSAO substrate selectivity and reveals new trends in SSAO substrate recognition. In this context, we identified novel efficient substrates for human SSAO that can be used as a lead for the discovery of antidiabetic agents.
