A cell-free enantioselective transformation of the carbon atom of CO2has never been reported. In the urgent context of transforming CO2into products of high value, the enantiocontrolled synthesis of chiral compounds from CO2would be highly desirable. Using an original hybrid chemoenzymatic catalytic process, we report herein the reductive oligomerization of CO2into C3(dihydroxyacetone, DHA) and C4(l-erythrulose) carbohydrates, with perfect enantioselectivity of the latter chiral product. This was achieved with the key intermediacy of formaldehyde. CO2is first reduced selectively by 4e-by an iron-catalyzed hydroboration reaction, leading to the isolation and complete characterization of a new bis(boryl)acetal compound derived from dimesitylborane. In an aqueous buffer solution at 30 °C, this compound readily releases formaldehyde, which is then involved in selective enzymatic transformations, giving rise either (i) to DHA using a formolase (FLS) catalysis or (ii) to l-erythrulose with a cascade reaction combining FLS and d-fructose-6-phosphate aldolase (FSA) A129S variant. Finally, the nature of the synthesized products is noteworthy, since carbohydrates are of high interest for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The present results prove that the cell-freede novosynthesis of carbohydrates from CO2as a sustainable carbon source is a possible alternative pathway in addition to the intensely studied biomass extraction andde novosyntheses from fossil resources.

The conversion of carbon dioxide to formaldehyde is a transformation that is of considerable significance in view of the fact that formaldehyde is a widely used chemical, but this conversion is challenging because CO2 is resistant to chemical transformations. Therefore, we report here that formaldehyde can be readily obtained from CO2 at room temperature via the bis(silyl)acetal, H2C(OSiPh3)2. Specifically, formaldehyde is released from H2C(OSiPh3)2 upon treatment with CsF at room temperature. H2C(OSiPh3)2 thus serves as a formaldehyde surrogate and provides a means to incorporate CHx (x = 1 or 2) moieties into organic molecules. Isotopologues of H2C(OSiPh3)2 may also be synthesized, thereby providing a convenient means to use CO2 as a source of isotopic labels in organic molecules.

With nearly 200 molecules detected in interstellar and circumstellar environments, the identification of the biologically relevant α-keto carboxylic acid, glyoxylic acid (HCOCOOH), is still elusive. Herein, the formation of glyoxylic acid via cosmic-ray driven, non-equilibrium chemistry in polar interstellar ices of carbon monoxide (CO) and water (H2O) at 5 K via barrierless recombination of formyl (HCO) and hydroxycarbonyl radicals (HOCO) is reported. In temperature-programmed desorption experiments, the subliming neutral molecules were selectively photoionized and identified based on the ionization energy and distinct mass-to-charge ratios in combination with isotopically labeled experiments exploiting reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometry. These studies unravel a key reaction path to glyoxylic acid, an organic molecule formed in interstellar ices before subliming in star-forming regions like SgrB2(N), thus providing a critical entry point to prebiotic organic synthesis.

The radiation induced chemical processing of methanol and methanol-carbon monoxide ices at 5.5 K exposed to ionizing radiation in the form of energetic electrons and subsequent temperature programmed desorption is reported in this study. The endogenous formation of complex organic molecules was monitored online and in situ via infrared spectroscopy in the solid state and post irradiation with temperature programmed desorption (TPD) using highly sensitive reflectron time-of-flight (ReTOF) mass spectrometry coupled with single photoionization at 10.49 eV. Infrared spectroscopic analysis of the processed ice systems resulted in the identification of simple molecules including the hydroxymethyl radical (CH2OH), formyl radical (HCO), methane (CH4), formaldehyde (H2CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH), glycolaldehyde (HOCH2CHO), methyl formate (HCOOCH3), and ketene (H2CCO). In addition, ReTOF mass spectrometry of subliming molecules following temperature programmed desorption definitely identified several closed shell C/H/O bearing organics including ketene (H2CCO), acetaldehyde (CH3COH), ethanol (C2H5OH), dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3), glyoxal (HCOCOH), glycolaldehyde (HOCH2CHO), ethene-1,2-diol (HOCHCHOH), ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH), methoxy methanol (CH3OCH2OH) and glycerol (CH2OHCHOHCH2OH) in the processed ice systems. Additionally, an abundant amount of molecules yet to be specifically identified were observed sublimating from the irradiated ices including isomers with the formula C3H(x=4,6,8)O, C4H(x=8,10)O, C3H(x=4,6,8)O2, C4H(x=6,8)O2, C3H(x=4,6)O3, C4H8O3, C4H(x=4,6,8)O4, C5H(x=6,8)O4 and C5H(x=6,8)O5. The last group of molecules containing four to five oxygen atoms observed sublimating from the processed ice samples include an astrobiologically important class of sugars relevant to RNA, phospholipids and energy storage. Experiments are currently being designed to elucidate their chemical structure. In addition, several reaction pathways were identified in the irradiated ices of mixed isotopes based upon the results of both in situ FTIR analysis and TPD ReTOF gas phase analysis. In general, the results of this study provide crucial information on the formation of a variety of classes of organics including alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, esters, ethers, and sugars within the bulk ices upon exposure to ionizing radiation that are relevant to the molecular clouds within the interstellar medium.

Functionalization of CO2 is a challenging goal and precedents exist for the generation of HCOOH, CO, CH3OH, and CH4 in mild conditions. In this series, CH2O, a very reactive molecule, remains an elementary C1 building block to be observed. Herein we report the direct observation of free formaldehyde from the borane reduction of CO2 catalyzed by a polyhydride ruthenium complex. Guided by mechanistic studies, we disclose the selective trapping of formaldehyde by in situ condensation with a primary amine into the corresponding imine in very mild conditions. Subsequent hydrolysis into amine and a formalin solution demonstrates for the first time that CO2 can be used as a C 1 feedstock to produce formaldehyde.

A hybrid for the visible-light-driven photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 using methanol as a reducing agent was developed by combining two different types of photocatalysts: a Ru(II) dinuclear complex (RuBLRu′) used for CO2 reduction is adsorbed onto Ag-loaded TaON (Ag/TaON) for methanol oxidation. Isotope experiments clearly showed that this hybrid photocatalyst mainly produced HCOOH (TN = 41 for 9 h irradiation) from CO 2 and HCHO from methanol. Therefore, it converted light energy into chemical energy (ΔG = +83.0 kJ/mol). Photocatalytic reaction proceeds by the stepwise excitation of Ag/TaON and the Ru dinuclear complex on Ag/TaON, similar to the photosynthesis Z-scheme.

Page/Page column 3-4, (2009/10/21)
High purity isotopically labeled phosphonic acid esters can be obtained from isotopically enriched Chloro[13C]methyl phenyl sulfide The labeled phosphonic acid esters can then be used as precursors for the one step production of labeled vinyl sulfides, labeled vinyl sulfoxides, and labeled vinyl sulfones. The labeled phosphonic acid esters can also be reacted with a variety of aldehydes to produce extended vinyl systems that are isotopically labeled.

A PET project: A powerful reagent for the synthesis of positron-emitting imaging molecules - [11C]formaldehyde - is accessible from [ 11C]methyl iodide and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in high yields and under mild conditions. Easy access to [11C]formaldehyde expands the scope of the carbon-11 toolbox and will lead to new reaction methodology and imaging compounds. (Chemical Equation Presented).
Reactions of alkenes with ozone in the gas phase: A matrix-isolation study of secondary ozonides and carbonyl-containing reaction products

Gas phase ozonolysis reactions of the alkenes ethene, cis- and trans-but-2-ene, isoprene and the monoterpenes α-pinene, β-pinene, 3-carene, limonene and β-myrcene have been carried out and the reaction products have been trapped in O2-doped-argon matrices onto a CsI window held at 12 K. Products have been identified by IR spectroscopy. Comparison with previous matrix spectra, where secondary ozonides have been generated either in situ by annealing or in solution reactions allows a positive identification of the secondary ozonides of ethene and of cis and trans-but-2-ene to be made. These observations are backed up by experiments utilizing the isotopes 13C and 2H (D). It appears that secondary ozonides have also been formed from isoprene and the range of monoterpenes studied; this hypothesis is based upon the similarity of spectral features seen in the products of these reactions within those of the simpler alkenes. A number of other primary and secondary products are also identified from these reactions. Ethene gives formaldehyde as a primary product and acetaldehyde as a secondary product; it is found that the yield of acetaldehyde compared to formaldehyde increases as the reaction times are increased. Formaldehyde, one of the expected primary products, is formed by ozonolysis of β-pinene, although the other expected primary product, nopinone, is not seen. A range of secondary reaction products have been identified from the ozonolysis of the monoterpenes studied.
