- Peptoid Helix Displaying Flavone and Porphyrin: Synthesis and Intramolecular Energy Transfer
-
Natural light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) absorb a broad spectrum of sunlight using a collection of photosynthetic pigments whose spatial arrangement is controlled by a protein matrix and exhibit efficient energy transfer. We constructed a novel light-harvesting protein mimic, which absorbs light in the UV to visible region (280-700 nm) by displaying flavone and porphyrin on a peptoid helix. First, an efficient synthesis of 4′-derivatized 7-methoxyflavone (7-MF, 3 and 4) was developed. The flavone-porphyrin-peptoid conjugate (FPPC) was then prepared via Miyaura borylation on a resin-bound peptoid followed by Suzuki coupling between the peptoid and pigment. Circular dichroism spectroscopy indicated that the FPPC underwent helix-to-loop conversion of the peptoid scaffold upon changing the solvent conditions. A distinct intramolecular energy transfer was observed from 7-MF to porphyrin with greater efficiency in the helix than that in the loop conformation of the peptoid, whereas no clear evidence of energy transfer was obtained for unstructured FPPC. We thus demonstrate the value of the helical peptoid, which provided a controlled orientation for 7-MF and porphyrin and modulated the energy transfer efficiency via conformational switching. Our work provides a way to construct a sophisticated LHC mimic with enhanced coverage of the solar spectrum and controllable energy transfer efficiency.

- Trialkylammonium salt degradation: Implications for methylation and cross-coupling
-
Trialkylammonium (most notably N,N,N-trimethylanilinium) salts are known to display dual reactivity through both the aryl group and the N-methyl groups. These salts have thus been widely applied in cross-coupling, aryl etherification, fluorine radiolabelling, phase-transfer catalysis, supramolecular recognition, polymer design, and (more recently) methylation. However, their application as electrophilic methylating reagents remains somewhat underexplored, and an understanding of their arylation versus methylation reactivities is lacking. This study presents a mechanistic degradation analysis of N,N,N-trimethylanilinium salts and highlights the implications for synthetic applications of this important class of salts. Kinetic degradation studies, in both solid and solution phases, have delivered insights into the physical and chemical parameters affecting anilinium salt stability. 1H NMR kinetic analysis of salt degradation has evidenced thermal degradation to methyl iodide and the parent aniline, consistent with a closed-shell SN2-centred degradative pathway, and methyl iodide being the key reactive species in applied methylation procedures. Furthermore, the effect of halide and non-nucleophilic counterions on salt degradation has been investigated, along with deuterium isotope and solvent effects. New mechanistic insights have enabled the investigation of the use of trimethylanilinium salts in O-methylation and in improved cross-coupling strategies. Finally, detailed computational studies have helped highlight limitations in the current state-of-the-art of solvation modelling of reaction in which the bulk medium undergoes experimentally observable changes over the reaction timecourse.

- Strongly Lewis Acidic Metal-Organic Frameworks for Continuous Flow Catalysis
-
The synthesis of highly acidic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has attracted significant research interest in recent years. We report here the design of a strongly Lewis acidic MOF, ZrOTf-BTC, through two-step transformation of MOF-808 (Zr-BTC) secondary building units (SBUs). Zr-BTC was first treated with 1 M hydrochloric acid solution to afford ZrOH-BTC by replacing each bridging formate group with a pair of hydroxide and water groups. The resultant ZrOH-BTC was further treated with trimethylsilyl triflate (Me3SiOTf) to afford ZrOTf-BTC by taking advantage of the oxophilicity of the Me3Si group. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of Zr-bound superoxide and fluorescence spectra of Zr-bound N-methylacridone provided a quantitative measurement of Lewis acidity of ZrOTf-BTC with an energy splitting (?E) of 0.99 eV between the ?x? and ?y? orbitals, which is competitive to the homogeneous benchmark Sc(OTf)3. ZrOTf-BTC was shown to be a highly active solid Lewis acid catalyst for a broad range of important organic transformations under mild conditions, including Diels-Alder reaction, epoxide ring-opening reaction, Friedel-Crafts acylation, and alkene hydroalkoxylation reaction. The MOF catalyst outperformed Sc(OTf)3 in terms of both catalytic activity and catalyst lifetime. Moreover, we developed a ZrOTf-BTC?SiO2 composite as an efficient solid Lewis acid catalyst for continuous flow catalysis. The Zr centers in ZrOTf-BTC?SiO2 feature identical coordination environment to ZrOTf-BTC based on spectroscopic evidence. ZrOTf-BTC?SiO2 displayed exceptionally high turnover numbers (TONs) of 1700 for Diels-Alder reaction, 2700 for epoxide ring-opening reaction, and 326 for Friedel-Crafts acylation under flow conditions. We have thus created strongly Lewis acidic sites in MOFs via triflation and constructed the MOF?SiO2 composite for continuous flow catalysis of important organic transformations.

- Enhanced Acidity and Activity of Aluminum/Gallium-Based Ionic Liquids Resulting from Dynamic Anionic Speciation
-
To explore if the catalytic activity of single-metal species in halometallate catalysts can be enhanced with mixed-metal species, aluminum and gallium were simultaneously introduced to prepare a mixed-metal ionic liquid (IL) through a one-pot reaction of [HN222]Cl, AlCl3, and GaCl3 in various amounts. The Lewis acidity in Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation reactions of these IL compositions were evaluated and all mixed-metal [HN222][xAlCl3 + (2 - x)GaCl3]Cl ILs exhibited higher catalytic activity than AlCl3, GaCl3, [HN222][Al2Cl7], or [HN222][Ga2Cl7]. The broadening in 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of these ILs indicates the presence of dynamic anionic species, whereas matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) and acetonitrile-probed Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analyses correlates the structure-activity relationship, for instance, identifying the presence of mixed-metal-containing [Cl2GaOClAlClOGaCl2]- species in the better-performing ILs.

- A Ruthenium-Catalyzed C-H Activation Strategy as an Efficient Shortcut in the Total Synthesis of 6,8-Dimethoxy-1,3-dimethyl?-isoquinoline
-
A short and convenient total synthesis of 6,8-dimethoxy-1,3-dimethylisoquinoline, employing a C-H activation/alkenylation strategy, is reported. The approach involves the CeCl 3 7H 2 O-promoted methoximation of 2,4-dimethoxyacetophenone and a methoxime-directed ruthenium-catalyzed allylation. This was followed by a one-pot, ruthenium-catalyzed allyl to propenyl isomerization and a microwave-assisted 6π-azaelectrocylization to complete the sequence. This approach, which entails a shortcut in the synthetic management of the three-carbon side chain, is an improved and more efficient route toward the natural product, which facilitated its access in just three steps and 27.3percent overall yield.

- A molybdenum based metallomicellar catalyst for controlled and chemoselective oxidation of activated alcohols in aqueous medium
-
A surfactant based oxodiperoxo molybdenum complex, which could activate molecular oxygen, has been employed as a catalyst for controlled oxidation of benzylic alcohols to corresponding carbonyls. The oxidation reactions were carried out under aqueous environment, however, in the absence of any extraneous base or co-catalyst. Sensitive/oxidizable functional groups like cyano, sulfide, hydroxyl, aryl-hydroxyl, alkene (internal/terminal), alkyne (internal/terminal), and acetal were tolerated during the transformations. Such selectivity is attributed to the mild nature of the catalyst. The methodology could also be scaled-up for multi-gram synthesis and the protocol is likely to find practical use since it requires an inexpensive recyclable-catalyst and easily available oxidant (under green conditions). A plausible mechanism is proposed with the help of preliminary computational study.

- Hydrogen bond donor solvents enabled metal and halogen-free Friedel–Crafts acylations with virtually no waste stream
-
We have developed a metal and halogen-free Friedel–Crafts acylation protocol with virtually no waste stream generation. We propose a hydrogen bonding donor solvent will form a hydrogen bonding network and may provide significant rate enhancement for Friedel–Crafts reactions. Trifluoroacetic acid is one of the strongest H-bond donor solvents, which is also volatile and can be easily recovered by distillation without need for reaction workup. Our protocol is a ‘green’ Friedel–Crafts acylation process: 1) the catalyst can be recovered and reused; 2) using halogen free starting material (carboxylic acids anhydride or carboxylic acids); 3) no need for aqueous reaction work-up; 4) minimum or no waste steam generation.

- One-Step Dual Template Mediated Synthesis of Nanocrystalline Zeolites of Different Framework Structures
-
A novel, dual template mediated, one-step direct synthesis route is reported here for the preparation of nanocrystalline zeolites of different framework structures (such as ZSM-5, mordenite, and sodalite). In this synthesis strategy, a suitably designed dicationic/tetra-cationic soft template was used along with a conventional zeolite structure director to obtain nanocrystalline zeolites with nanosheet morphology. Nanocrystalline zeolites exhibited large surface area, pore volume, and intercrystalline mesopores. The long hydrophobic chain containing a multiammonium template cooperatively participates in the zeolite crystallization process along with a conventional microporous zeolite structure director to form the ultrathin microporous zeolite framework, while the hydrophobic interaction between the long chains restricted the excessive growth of zeolites and induced the formation of intercrystalline mesopores. Nanocrystalline zeolites exhibited exceptionally high activity in the acid-catalyzed reactions involving large molecules when compared with conventional zeolites. This synthesis strategy can be extended for the preparation of zeolites of different framework structures or other porous materials in the future.

- Metal-Free Intermolecular Coupling of Arenes with Secondary Amides: Chemoselective Synthesis of Aromatic Ketimines and Ketones, and N-Deacylation of Secondary Amides
-
The direct transformation of common secondary amides into aromatic ketimines and aromatic ketones with C-C bond formation is described. The reaction can also be used for N-deacylation of secondary amides to release amines. This method consists of in situ amide activation with triflic anhydride and intermolecular capture of the resulting highly electrophilic nitrilium intermediate with an arene. The reaction is applicable to various kinds of secondary amides (electrophiles), but only electron-rich and moderately electron-rich arenes can be used as nucleophiles. Thanks to the use of bench stable arenes instead of reactive and basic organometallics as nucleophiles, the reaction proceeded with high chemoselectivity at the secondary amido group in the presence of a series of sensitive functional groups such as aldehyde, ketone, ester, cyano, nitro, and tertiary amido groups. The reaction can be viewed as a Friedel-Crafts-type reaction using secondary amides as acylating agents or as an intermolecular version of the Bischler-Napieralski reaction.

- Synthesis of industrially important aromatic and heterocyclic ketones using hierarchical ZSM-5 and Beta zeolites

Hierarchical ZSM-5 and Beta zeolites were investigated in the synthesis of wide range of industrially important aromatic/heterocyclic ketones by Friedel-Crafts acylation and benzoylation reactions. For comparative study, conventional ZSM-5 and Beta, and amorphous mesoporous Al-MCM-41 were investigated. Hierarchical zeolites were prepared by multi-ammonium structure directing agents whereas conventional zeolites were prepared by mono-ammonium structure directing agents. Among the catalysts investigated in this study, hierarchical Beta exhibited the highest reactant conversion in the acylation and benzoylation reactions. In this study, the systematic assessment of the catalytic activity of acid catalysts for wide range of aromatic and heterocyclic compounds is shown under one umbrella. To the best of our knowledge, these reactions over hierarchical zeolites (ZSM-5 and Beta) are reported here for the first time. Structure activity relationship is explained based on the physico-chemical properties, molecular size, reactivity of reactants, and reaction mechanism. Catalysts can be easily recovered and reused with negligible loss in the catalytic activity.

The method allows a variety of electron-rich linear olefins to undergo arylation with ortho-functionalized aromatic carboxylic acids, including heterocycles. The reaction mechanism has been explored with ESI-MS studies to confirm previous findings, and to reveal the formation of a highly stable palladium complex as a result of the Heck product reacting with the catalyst.

Moreover, some of the most active compounds showed synergistic antifungal effects and lower cell toxicity when combined with clotrimazole.

- The methoxycarbonylation of aryl chlorides catalysed by palladium complexes of bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)benzene
-
A catalyst system based on palladium-1,2-bis-(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl) benzene (BDTBPMB) shows good activity for the methoxycarbonylation of strongly activated aryl chlorides, like 4-chloromethylbenzoate or 4-chlorocyanobenzene. Surprisingly, the use of less activated aryl chlorides, like 4-chloroacetophenone, leads to the formation of dimethyl terephthalate amongst other products arising from organic reactions of methoxide ion and/or CO. Less nucleophilic alcohols such as 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol promote the formation of carbonylation products even from 4-chloroacetophenone and chlorobenzene. Labelling studies involving CD3OH, CD3OD or 13CO give information on the origin of many of the products. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.

- Chalcones as potent tyrosinase inhibitors: The importance of a 2,4-substituted resorcinol moiety
-
Chalcones with tetra-substituted hydroxyl groups were synthesized and tested as tyrosinase inhibitors towards designing novel whitening agents, resulting with the most potent inhibitor, with IC50 of 0.02 μM concn. Compounds, which inhibit tyrosinase, could be effective as depigmenting agents. We have introduced a group of mono-, di-, tri- and tetra-substituted hydroxychalcones as effective tyrosinase inhibitors, showing that the most important factor determining tyrosinase inhibition efficiency is the position of the hydroxyl group(s) rather their number. The aim of the present study was to investigate the contribution of the different functional groups of the tetrahydroxychalcones to their inhibitory potency, with a view to optimizing the design of whitening agents. Four tetrahydroxychalcones were evaluated, the commercially available Butein and other three were synthesized, and their inhibitory effect on tyrosinase was tested. Results showed that a 2,4-substituted resorcinol subunit on ring B contributed the most to inhibitory potency. Changing the resorcinol substitute to position 3,5- or placing it on ring A significantly diminished the inhibitory effect of the compounds. A catechol subunit on ring A acted as a metal chelator (in the presence of copper ions) and as a competitive inhibitor (in the presence of tyrosinase), while a catechol on ring B oxidized to o-quinone (in the presence of both copper ions and tyrosinase). Three of the compounds also demonstrated antioxidant activity, which may contribute to the prevention of pigmentation. An examination of correlations between inhibitory activity and physical properties of the chalcones tested (such as dissociation energy and molecular planarity) showed positive correlation with the moment dipole value in the Y-axis, which may be used as an indicator of the inhibitory potential of new molecules. The present study revealed two very active tyrosinase inhibitors, 2,4,3′,4′- hydroxychalcone and 2,4,2′,4′-hydroxychalcone (with IC50 of 0.2 and 0.02 μM, respectively). Structure-related activity studies added some understanding of the role and contribution of different functional groups associated with tyrosinase inhibitors.

- Friedel-crafts reactions catalyzed by rare earth metal trifluoromethanesulfonates
-
Rare earth metal trifluoromethanesulfonates (rare earth metal trifiates, RE(OTf)3) were found to be efficient catalysts for Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation. In the presence of a catalytic amount of RE(OTf)3, acylation of aromatic compounds having electron-donating substituents such as anisole, thioanisole, and mesitylene with acid anhydrides proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding aromatic ketones in high yields. Although RE(OTf)3 alone is not effective for acylation of less reactive aromatics such as toluene, the combination of RE(OTf)3 and lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) enhanced the catalytic activity dramatically. Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions using rare earth metal perfluoroalkanesulfonates were also successfully performed in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2). Moreover, in the presence of a catalytic amount of RE(OTf)3, aromatic compounds reacted with benzyl chloride smoothly to afford the corresponding alkylation products in high yields. In these reactions, RE(OTf)3 could be easily recovered after the reactions were completed and could be reused without loss of activity.

- The reduction of α-X-acetophenones (X = PhO, Br, Cl) in hydrogendonating solvents at elevated temperatures
-
The reduction of α-X-acetophenones (X = PhO, Br, Cl), as model compounds for lignin liquefaction studies, has been investigated in the presence of a hydrogen-donating solvent such as 9,10-dihydroanthracene (AnH2) or 2-propanol, between 373 and 573 K. With α-phenoxyacetophenone (PAP) in AnH2, acetophenone and phenol have been obtained with high selectivities. The mechanism involves the reverse radical disproportionation (RRD) with AnH2. Hydrodebromination of α-bromoacetophenone (BrAP) is quantitative at 423 K using AnH2 as a reducing agent. Now, the hydrogen transfer proceeds by an uninhibited radical chain mechanism with anthracenyl radicals as the chain carriers. For the kinetic analysis, the C-X (X = Br, Cl) bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs) have been determined by means of very low pressure pyrolysis to give BDE(C-Br) = 271 kJ mol-1 and, as a lower limit, BDE(C-Cl) ? 309 kJ mol-1, at 298 K. The BDEs are quite at variance with recently published insights derived from an electrochemical study. For comparison, density functional theory calculations (DFT) have been performed.
