Application of complementary mass spectrometric techniques to the identification of ketoprofen phototransformation products

Ketoprofen (KP) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which during UV irradiation rapidly transforms into benzophenone derivatives. Such transformation products may occur after topical application of KP, which is then exposed to sunlight resulting in a photo-allergic reaction. These reactions are mediated by the benzophenone moiety independently of the amount of allergen. The same reactions will also occur during wastewater or drinking water treatment albeit their effect in the aqueous environment is yet to be ascertained. In addition, only a few such transformation products have been recognised. To enable the detection and structural elucidation of the widest range of KP transformation products, this study applies complementary chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques including gas chromatography coupled to single quadrupole or ion trap mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography hyphenated with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Based on structural information gained in tandem and multiple MS experiments, and on highly accurate molecular mass measurements, chemical structures of 22 transformation products are proposed and used to construct an overall breakdown pathway. Among the identified transformation products all but two compounds retained the benzophenone moietya€"a result, which raises important issues concerning the possible toxic synergistic effects of KP and its transformation products. These findings trigger further research into water treatment technologies that would limit their entrance into environmental or drinking waters. Copyright
Contrastive photoreduction pathways of benzophenones governed by regiospecific deprotonation of imidazoline radical cations and additive effects

In the photoreaction of benzophenones with 1,3-dimethyl-2- phenylbenzimidazoline (DMPBI), benzhydrols were major products. Addition of H2O accelerated the reaction with no change in the product distribution, while AcOH, PhOH, and metal salts such as LiClO4 and Mg(ClO4)2 were effective additives to produce benzpinacols. In contrast, benzpinacols were exclusively formed regardless of the solvent and the additive in the reactions with 2-(o-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3- dimethylbenzimidazoline (o-HPDMBI). These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that DMPBI.+ donates a proton at the C2 position to the benzophenone ketyl radicals while o-HPDMBI.+ donates a phenol proton.
Chemistry and stereochemistry of benzyl-benzyl interactions in MH+ ions of dibenzyl esters upon chemical ionization and collision-induced dissociation conditions
Edelson-Averbukh,Mandelbaum
, p. 515 - 524 (1997)
Isobutane chemical ionization mass spectra of dibenzyl esters of a wide variety of aliphatic, olefinic, alicyclic and aromatic dicarboxylic acids exhibit abundant m/z 181 C14H13+ ions, indicating a highly general rearrangement process involving the formation of a new bond between the two benzyl groups. An extensive collision-induced dissociation and deuterium labeling study suggested that these ions are an almost equimolar mixture of isomeric α-o-tolylbenzyl, α-p-tolylbenzyl and p-benzylbenzyl cation structures, and this composition is identical for all the diesters examined. This structural assignment of the C14H13 ions suggests a mechanistic pathway for their generation, based on the formation of the new bond between the benzyl methylene group of the protonated benzoxycarbonyl and the phenyl ring of the other ester moiety via π- (and/or ion-neutral) and α-complexes. Stereoisomeric diesters show an unusual steric effect: trans-isomers give rise to much more abundant C14H13+ ions than the cis counterparts. This behavior is explained by stabilized proton-bridged structures of the MH+ ions of the cis-isomers.
Experimental and density functional theory studies on hydroxymethylation of phenylboronic acids with paraformaldehyde over a Rh-PPh3 catalyst

The synthesis of benzyl alcohols (BAs) is highly vital for their wide applications in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. Herein, BAs was efficiently synthesized via hydroxymethylation of phenylboronic acids (PBAs) and paraformaldehyde over a simple Rh-PPh3 catalyst combined with an inorganic base (NaOH). A variety of BAs with the groups of CH3?, CH3O?, Cl?, Br?, and so on were obtained with moderate to good yields, indicating that the protocol had a good universality. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations proposed the Hayashi-type arylation mechanism involved the arylation step of PBA and Rh(OH)(PPh3)2 catalyst to form Rh(I)-bound aryl intermediates and the hydrolysis step of Rh(I)-bound aryl intermediates and HCHO to generate BA product (the rate-determining step). The present route provides a valuable and direct method for the synthesis of BAs and expands the application range of paraformaldehyde.

In this study, we develop a nickel-catalyzed carbonyl arylation reaction employing aldehydes with aryl and allyl halides. Various aryl, α,β-unsaturated aldehyde and aliphatic aldehydes can be converted into their corresponding secondary alcohols in moderate-to-high yields. In addition, we extended this approach to develop an asymmetric reductive coupling reaction that combines nickel salts with chiral bisoxazoline ligands to give secondary alcohols with moderate enantioselectivity.
4-Methyltetrahydropyran (4-MeTHP): Application as an Organic Reaction Solvent

4-Methyltetrahydropyran (4-MeTHP) is a hydrophobic cyclic ether with potential for industrial applications. We herein report, for the first time, a comprehensive study on the performance of 4-MeTHP as an organic reaction solvent. Its broad application to organic reactions includes radical, Grignard, Wittig, organometallic, halogen-metal exchange, reduction, oxidation, epoxidation, amidation, esterification, metathesis, and other miscellaneous organic reactions. This breadth suggests 4-MeTHP can serve as a substitute for conventional ethers and harmful halogenated solvents. However, 4-MeTHP was found incompatible with strong Lewis acids, and the C?O bond was readily cleaved by treatment with BBr3. Moreover, the radical-based degradation pathways of 4-MeTHP, THP and 2-MeTHF were elucidated on the basis of GC-MS analyses. The data reported herein is anticipated to be useful for a broad range of synthetic chemists, especially industrial process chemists, when selecting the reaction solvent with green chemistry perspectives.

The current protocol represents a transition metal-free synthesis of polysubstituted phenanthridines from abundant starting materials like benzhydrol and 2-iodoaniline derivatives. The reaction involves sequential oxidation of alcohol and direct condensation reaction with the amine resulting in a C?N bond formation followed by a radical C?C coupling in a cascade sequence. The used base potassium tert-butoxide plays a dual role in dehydrogenation and homolytic aromatic substitution reaction. Using this methodology, twenty substituted phenanthridine derivatives were synthesized with up to 85% isolated yield. (Figure presented.).

The library of new N-substituted 4-(arylmethoxy)piperidines as dopamine transporter inhibitors was designed and synthesized. H-Bond donors in piperidine ring were found to be important for reduced locomotor activity in mice. 4-[Bis(4-fluorophenyl)methoxy]piperidine has IC50 17.0 ± 1.0 nm for dopamine transporter and locomotor activity, which is lower than that for cocaine.

The direct preparation of ketones from carboxylate anions is greatly limited by the required use of organolithium reagents or activated acyl sources that need to be independently prepared. Herein, a specific magnesium amide additive is used to activate and control the addition of more tolerant Grignard reagents to carboxylate anions. This strategy enables the modular synthesis of ketones from CO2 and the preparation of isotopically labeled pharmaceutical building blocks in a single operation.

The reductive Barbier coupling of aromatic halides and electrophiles has been achieved using a CoBr2/1,10-phenanthroline catalytic system and over stoichiometric amounts of zinc. The reaction displayed a broad scope of substrates, including (hetero)aryl chlorides as pro-nucleophiles and aldehydes or imines as electrophiles, leading to diarylmethanols and diarylmethylamines in moderate to excellent yields, respectively.
