AurF catalyzes the N-oxidation of p-aminobenzoic acid to p-nitrobenzoic acid in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic aureothin. Here we report the characterization of AurF under optimized conditions to explore its potential use in biocatalysis. The pH optimum of the enzyme was established to be 5.5 using phenazine methosulfate (PMS)/NADH as the enzyme mediator system, showing ～10-fold higher activity than previous reports in literature. Kinetic characterization at optimized conditions give a Km of 14.7 ± 1.1 μM, a kcat of 47.5 ± 5.4 min-1 and a kcat/Km of 3.2 ± 0.4 μM-1 min-1. PMS/NADH and the native electron transfer proteins showed significant formation of the p-hydroxylaminobenzoic acid intermediate, however H2O2 produced mostly p-nitrobenzoic acid. Alanine scanning identified the role of important active site residues. The substrate specificity of AurF was examined and rationalized based on the protein crystal structure. Kinetic studies indicate that the Km is the main determinant of AurF activity toward alternative substrates.

, p. 498 - 502 (2010)
Photolysis of para-azidobenzoic acid (p-ABA) in the crystalline state, organic solvents, and water at different pH values was studied by means of IR spectroscopy, electronic absorption spectroscopy, and TLC. The nature of L-ABA photolysis products is determined by the character of solvation or hydration of the acid in solutions and the relative arrangement of azide molecules in the crystalline state or highly concentrated solutions.

Benzastatins have unique structures probably derived from geranylated p-aminobenzoic acids. The indoline and tetrahydroquinoline scaffolds are presumably formed by cyclization of the geranyl moiety, but the cyclization mechanism was unknown. We studied the benzastatin biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces sp. RI18; functions of the six enzymes encoded by it were analyzed by gene disruption in a heterologous host and in vitro enzyme assays. We propose the biosynthetic pathway for benzastatins in which a cytochrome P450 (BezE) is responsible for the cyclization of geranylated p-acetoxyaminobenzoic acids; BezE catalyzes elimination of acetic acid to form an iron nitrenoid, nitrene transfer to form an aziridine ring, and nucleophilic addition of hydroxide ion to C-10 and chloride ion to C-9 to generate the indoline and tetrahydroquinoline scaffolds, respectively. Discovery of this enzyme, which should be termed cytochrome P450 nitrene transferase, provides an important insight into the functional diversity of cytochrome P450.

Polystyrene stabilized Iridium (Ir@PS) nanoparticles (NPs) as a heterogeneous catalyst have been developed and characterized by IR, UV–Vis, SEM, TEM, EDX and XRD studies. The prepared Ir@PS catalyst showed excellent reactivity for chemo- and regio-selective controlled-hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes to corresponding N-arylhydroxylamine using hydrazine hydrate as reducing source and environmentally benign polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as green solvent. The present methodology was applied for vast substrate scope and found to be compatible with wide range of reducible functional groups. The reaction performed at 85 °C or ambient temperature and completed within 5–80 minutes. The catalyst can easily be filtered out from reaction mixture and reusable.

A new bacterial nitroreductase has been identified and used as a biocatalyst for the controllable reduction of a variety of nitroarenes with an electron-withdrawing group to the corresponding N-arylhydroxylamines under mild reaction conditions with excellent selectivity (>99%). This method therefore represents a green and efficient method for the synthesis of arylhydroxylamines.
Solid supported platinum(0) nanoparticles catalyzed chemo-selective reduction of nitroarenes to N-arylhydroxylamines

Solid supported platinum(0) (SS-Pt) nanoparticles were developed as a heterogeneous catalyst following a reduction/deposition method and characterized by SEM, TEM, EDX and XRD analysis. The SS-Pt catalyst was applied in the chemo-selective reduction of nitroarenes to N-arylhydroxylamines using hydrazine hydrate as a hydrogen source. A wide variety of reducible functional groups such as halides, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, nitriles, keto, alkenes, alkynes and N-benzyl were well tolerated under the reaction conditions. This process was further successfully employed in 10 g scale reactions. N-Arylhydroxylamines were further applied for catalyst free synthesis of azoxybenzenes. Moreover, use of PEG-400 as cheap reaction medium, additive free methodology and the recyclability of SS-Pt catalyst up to ten times without significant loss of catalytic activity evidently follow the principles of green chemistry.
Selective synthesis of N-aryl hydroxylamines by the hydrogenation of nitroaromatics using supported platinum catalysts

Various substituted nitroaromatics were successfully hydrogenated to the corresponding N-aryl hydroxylamines in excellent yields (up to 99%) using supported platinum catalysts such as Pt/SiO2 under a hydrogen atmosphere (1 bar) at room temperature. The key to the fast and highly selective formation of hydroxylamines is the addition of small amounts of amines such as triethylamine and dimethyl sulfoxide; amines promote the conversion of nitroaromatics, while dimethyl sulfoxide inhibits further hydrogenation of hydroxylamines to anilines. The promotive effect depends on which type of amine and primary amine was most effective. The hydrogenation efficiently proceeded in common organic solvents, including isopropanol, diethyl ether, and acetone. This methodology should extend the application range of conventional solid catalysts to fine chemicals synthesis. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2009.
Design, synthesis, characterization, and preliminary complexation studies of chromogenic vanadophiles: 1,3-alternate thiacalix[4]arene tetrahydroxamic acids

New chromogenic supramolecular vanadophiles were designed and synthesized by incorporating hydroxamic acid chains on a 1,3-alternate thiacalix[4]arene scaffold and were found to show high affinity toward vanadate ions. The article describes a comprehensive design process to devise a tailor-made co-ordination cavity for vanadate ions by pre-organization of hydroxamic acid chelating moieties on a 1,3-alternate thiacalix[4]arene scaffold. These receptors simultaneously co-ordinate two vanadate ions giving a highly 'staggered' geometry with almost D2d symmetry. Proposed structures and complexation behavior of the receptors were explained by critical examination of FTIR, UV-visible, mass, and 1H NMR data.
Effect of substituents on the rate of oxidation of anilines with peroxomonosulfate monoanion (HOOSO3-) in aqueous acetonitrile: A mechanistic study

Mechanistic studies on the oxidation of 18 meta-, para-, and ortho-substituted anilines (Ans) by HOOSO3- in aqueous acetonitrile medium have been performed. The reaction can be characterized by the experimental rate equation, -d[HSO5-]/dt = k[An][HSO5-] The addition of p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) retards the reaction. The increase in the reactivity of anilines as the medium is made more aqueous is interpreted. The reaction is enhanced by electron-donating groups on the amine in the series consistent with the rate-limiting nucleophilic attack of the amine on the persulfate oxygen. The proposed mechanism involves the conversion of phenylhydroxylamine to nitrosobenzene in a fast step. The ESR study reveals the absence of free radicals in the reaction. Various attempts have been made to analyze the experimental rate constants in terms of LFER plots. Improved correlations are obtained with σ- values and the σ- form of the Yukawa-Tsuno equation.
Mechanism and reactivity in perborate oxidation of anilines in acetic acid

, p. 2011 - 2018 (2007/10/03)
Perborate but not percarbonate in acetic acid generates peracetic acid on standing and the peracetic acid oxidation of anilines is fast. The oxidation with a fresh solution of perborate in acetic acid is smooth and second order but the specific oxidation rate increases with increasing [perborate]0 or [boric acid]. Perborate on dissolution affords hydrogen peroxide and a borate; the latter assists the former in the oxidation. The oxidation rates of anilines under identical conditions do not conform to any of the linear free energy relationships but the reaction rates of molecular anilines do. Perborate oxidation proceeds via two reaction paths but the overall oxidation rates of molecular anilines conform to structure reactivity relationships; the transition states do not differ significantly. Analysis of the oxidation rates of perborate and percarbonate reveals that while perborate oxidation is faster than percarbonate it is at least as selective as the latter.
