Chemoenzymatic epoxidation of alkenes with Candida antarctica lipase B and hydrogen peroxide in deep eutectic solvents

Epoxides are important synthetic intermediates for the synthesis of a broad range of industrial products. This study presents a promising solution to the current limitation of enzyme instability. By using simple deep eutectic solvents such as choline chloride/sorbitol, significant stabilization of the biocatalyst has been achieved leading to more robust reactions while using environmentally more acceptable solvents as compared to ionic liquids.

Proton Switch in the Secondary Coordination Sphere to Control Catalytic Events at the Metal Center: Biomimetic Oxo Transfer Chemistry of Nickel Amidate Complex

High-valent metal-oxo species are key intermediates for the oxygen atom transfer step in the catalytic cycles of many metalloenzymes. While the redox-active metal centers of such enzymes are typically supported by anionic amino acid side chains or porphyrin rings, peptide backbones might function as strong electron-donating ligands to stabilize high oxidation states. To test the feasibility of this idea in synthetic settings, we have prepared a nickel(II) complex of new amido multidentate ligand. The mononuclear nickel complex of this N5 ligand catalyzes epoxidation reactions of a wide range of olefins by using mCPBA as a terminal oxidant. Notably, a remarkably high catalytic efficiency and selectivity were observed for terminal olefin substrates. We found that protonation of the secondary coordination sphere serves as the entry point to the catalytic cycle, in which high-valent nickel species is subsequently formed to carry out oxo-transfer reactions. A conceptually parallel process might allow metalloenzymes to control the catalytic cycle in the primary coordination sphere by using proton switch in the secondary coordination sphere.

Dinuclear Iron(III) and Nickel(II) Complexes Containing N-(2-Pyridylmethyl)-N′-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine: Catalytic Oxidation and Magnetic Properties

Dinuclear FeIII and NiII complexes, [(phenO)Fe(N3)]2(NO3)2 (1) and [(phenOH)Ni(N3)2]2 (2), were prepared by treating Fe(NO3)3?9 H2O and Ni(NO3)2?6 H2O in methanol, respectively, with phenOH (=N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-N′-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine) and NaN3; both 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Two ethoxo-bridged FeIII and two azido-bridged NiII were observed in 1 and 2, respectively; corresponding antiferromagnetic interaction via the bridged ethoxo groups and strong ferromagnetic coupling via the bridged end-on azido ligands within the dimeric unit were observed. Complex 1 did not exhibit any catalytic activity, while 2 exhibited excellent catalytic activities for the epoxidation of aliphatic, aromatic, and terminal olefins.

Trinuclear nickel and cobalt complexes containing unsymmetrical tripodal tetradentate ligands: Syntheses, structural, magnetic, and catalytic properties

The coordination chemistries of the tetradentate N2O2-type ligands N-(2-pyridylmethyl)iminodiethanol (H2pmide) and N-(2-pyridylmethyl)iminodiisopropanol (H2pmidip) have been investigated with nickel(ii) and cobalt(ii/iii) ions. Three novel complexes prepared and characterized are [(Hpmide)2Ni3(CH3COO)4] (1), [(Hpmide)2Co3(CH3COO)4] (2), and [(pmidip)2Co3(CH3COO)4] (3). In 1 and 2, two terminal nickel(ii)/cobalt(ii) units are coordinated to one Hpmide- and two CH3CO2-. The terminal units are each connected to a central nickel(ii)/cobalt(ii) cation through one oxygen atom of Hpmide- and two oxygen atoms of acetate ions, giving rise to nickel(ii) and cobalt(ii) trinuclear complexes, respectively. Trinuclear complexes 1 and 2 are isomorphous. In 3, two terminal cobalt(iii) units are coordinated to pmidip2- and two CH3CO2-. The terminal units are each linked to a central cobalt(ii) cation through two oxygen atoms of pmidip2- and one oxygen atom of a bidentate acetate ion, resulting in a linear trinuclear mixed-valence cobalt complex. 1 shows a weak ferromagnetic interaction with the ethoxo and acetato groups between the nickel(ii) ions (g = 2.24, J = 2.35 cm-1). However, 2 indicates a weak antiferromagnetic coupling with the ethoxo and acetato groups between the cobalt(ii) ions (g = 2.37, J = -0.5 cm-1). Additionally, 3 behaves as a paramagnetic cobalt(ii) monomer, due to the diamagnetic cobalt(iii) ions in the terminal units (g = 2.53, =D= = 36.0 cm-1). No catalytic activity was observed in 1. However, 2 and 3 showed significant catalytic activities toward various olefins with modest to good yields. 3 was slightly less efficient toward olefin epoxidation reaction than 2. Also 2 was used for terminal olefin oxidation reaction and was oxidised to the corresponding epoxides in moderate yields (34-75%) with conversions ranging from 47-100%. The cobalt complexes 2 and 3 promoted the O-O bond cleavage to ～75% heterolysis and ～25% homolysis.

A discrete {Co4(μ3-OH)4}4+ cluster with an oxygen-rich coordination environment as a catalyst for the epoxidation of various olefins

Using the sterically hindered terphenyl-based carboxylate, the tetrameric Co(ii) complex [Co4(μ3-OH)4(μ-O2CAr4F-Ph)2(μ-OTf)2(Py)4] (1) with an asymmetric cubane-type core has been synthesized and fully characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Interestingly, the cubane-type cobalt cluster 1 with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid as the oxidant was found to be very effective in the epoxidation of a variety of olefins, including terminal olefins which are more challenging targeting substrates. Moreover, this catalytic system showed a fast reaction rate and high epoxide yields under mild conditions. Based on product analysis and Hammett studies, the use of peroxyphenylacetic acid as a mechanistic probe, H218O-exchange experiments, and EPR studies, it has been proposed that multiple reactive cobalt-oxo species CoVO and CoIVO were involved in the olefin epoxidation.

"click" tetradentate ligands

A series of triazole-based N4 tetradenate ligands 1a-d are efficiently synthesized using CuI-catalyzed azide-alkyne "click" strategy and are readily coordinated to many metal ions (e.g. MnII, NiII, ZnII and FeII). The X-ray structures of the resultant metal-complexes (4a-d, 5a, 6a and 7a) reveal an octahedral mononuclear structure with two co-ligands bonded in cis sites and the two triazoles as nitrogen donors to the metal center. The MnII-complexes (4a-d) show efficient catalytic activities in the epoxidation of various aliphatic terminal olefins with peracetic acid, and feature with low catalyst loading, fast conversion and high yields.
