Deuterodehalogenation Under Net Reductive or Redox-Neutral Conditions Enabled by Paired Electrolysis

Interest in deuterated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is increasing as deuteration holds promise for kinetic isotope effect (KIE) regulated fine-tuning of API performance. Moreover, deuterium isotope labeling is frequently carried out to study organic and bioorganic reaction mechanisms and to facilitate complex target synthesis. As such, methods for highly selective deuteration of organic molecules are highly desirable. Herein, we present an electrochemical method for the selective deuterodehalogenation of benzylic halides via a radical-polar crossover mechanism, using inexpensive deuterium oxide (D₂O) as the deuterium source. We demonstrate broad functional group compatibility across a range of aryl and heteroaryl benzylic halides. Furthermore, we uncover a sequential paired electrolysis regime, which permits switching between net reductive and overall redox-neutral reactions of sulfur-containing substrates simply by changing the identity of the sacrificial reductant employed.     

Electrolysis cells for laboratory organic synthesis

The importance of cell design to the development of convenient, laboratory organic electrosyntheses, popular with synthetic chemists, is highlighted. Although also influencing reaction selectivity, the cell design is the major factor determining the rate of conversion of reactant to product, the final conversion that can be achieved and the quantity of product formed. The recent literature contains a number of designs of flow electrolysis cells for electrosynthesis with examples of their application.     

Progress in Convergent Paired Electrolysis

Convergent paired electrolysis combines both anodic and cathodic reactions simultaneously in an electrochemical transformation. It provides a highly energy-efficient and divergent approach to conventionally challenging and useful structures. However, the physical separation of the two half-electrode reactions makes it extremely difficult to couple the intermediates arising from the two electrodes. In this concept article, four strategies used in convergent paired electrolysis will be discussed from the perspective of the reaction mechanism: a) metal-catalyzed convergent paired electrolysis, b) convergent paired electrolysis enabled by persistent radical effects, c) microfluidic chemistry applied to convergent paired electrolysis, and d) alternating current electrolysis.

Electrolysis phenomena in electrophoresis

We present a new theoretical approach for calculating changes in the physico-chemical properties of BGEs for measurements by CZE due to the electrolysis in electrode vials (vessels). Electrolysis is an inevitable phenomenon in any measurement in CZE. Water electrolysis, which occurs in most measurements, can significantly alter the composition of the BGE in electrode vials and in the separation capillary and has a negative influence on the robustness and quality of separations. The ability to predict changes in the composition of the BGE is important for evaluation of the suitability of the BGEs for repeating electrophoretic runs. We compared theoretically calculated changes in the physico-chemical properties (pH, conductivity) with those measured using pH-microelectrode and contactless conductivity detection of the BGE after the electrophoretic run. We confirmed the validity of our theoretical approach with a common BGE composed of acid-base pair, where one constituent is fully dissociated while the second constituent is dissociated by only half, and with Good's buffer. As predicted by theoretical approach, the changes in the physico-chemical properties of the Good's buffer after the electrophoretic run were several times lower than in the case of a common BGE composed of a weak acid – strong base pair.     

An Electrochemical Flow Cell For The Detection Of Metal Complexes

Abstract

An electrochemical flow cell has been developed using reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) coated with a thin film of mercury. The flow cell and electrode components are inexpensive and easily constructed. Reproducible results have been obtained for concentrations as low as 100 ppb. Peak currents were dependent on flow rate, electrode size, and mercury deposition time. Oxygen interference was reduced by nitrogen purging to enable analysis of sub-ppm metal concentrations. The cell was tested as a detector for metal complexes eluated from a modified gel permeation chromatographic column.

Abstract

A fast and simple electrogenerated unstable reagent chemiluminescence system for flow injection analysis of etamsylate is described, based on a decrease in the chemiluminescence intensity from the luminol-hypochlorite system. The response is linear to the concentration of etamsylate in the range from 1x10⁹ to 8x 10^?9. The detection limit is 6 x 10^?10 g ml^?1. The relative standard deviation is 3.1% at 2 x 10^?9 g ml^?1 (n=7). The proposed method is suitable for automatic and continuous analysis and has been successfully tested for determination of etamsylate in pharmaceutical formulations.

Comprehensive Comparisons between Directing and Alternating Current Electrolysis in Organic Synthesis

Organic electrosynthesis has consistently aroused significant interest within both academic and industrial spheres. Despite the considerable progress achieved in this field, the majority of electrochemical transformations have been conducted through the utilization of direct-current (DC) electricity. In contrast, the application of alternating current (AC), characterized by its polarity-alternating nature, remains in its infancy within the sphere of organic synthesis, primarily due to the absence of a comprehensive theoretical framework. This minireview offers an overview of recent advancements in AC-driven organic transformations and seeks to elucidate the differences between DC and AC electrolytic methodologies by probing into their underlying physical principles. These differences encompass the ability of AC to preclude the deposition of metal catalysts, the precision in modulating oxidation and reduction intensities, and the mitigation of mass transfer processes.

Abstract

A three-electrode system with the hanging electrolyte drop electrode (HEDE) was developed for the analytical exploitation of electrolysis at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES). The use of the differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPSV) for the quantitative determination of the species which participates in a charge transfer reaction at ITIES was demonstrated with acetylcholine cation transfer across the water/nitrobenzene interface. Trace concentration of acetylcholine in water in the part per million level (ppm) can be determined. It was concluded that the electrolysis at ITIES represents the perspective method of chemical analysis.

Controlling Selectivity in Shuttle Hetero-difunctionalization Reactions: Electrochemical Transfer Halo-thiolation of Alkynes

Shuttle hetero-difunctionalization reaction, in which two chemically distinct functional groups are transferred between two molecules, has long been an unmet goal due to the daunting challenges in controlling the chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. Herein, we disclose an electrochemistry enabled shuttle reaction (e-shuttle) to selectively transfer one RS⁻ and one X⁻ group between β-halosulfides and unsaturated hydrocarbons via a consecutive paired electrolysis mechanism. The preferential anodic oxidation of one anion over the other, which is controlled by their distinct redox potentials, plays a pivotal role in controlling the high chemoselectivity of the process. This easily scalable methodology enables the construction of a myriad of densely functionalized β-halo alkenyl sulfides in unprecedented chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity using benign surrogates, e.g., 2-bromoethyl sulfide, avoiding the handling of corrosive and oxidative RS–Br reagents. In a broader context, these results open up new strategies for selective shuttle difunctionalization reactions.

Paired Electrosynthesis of Formaldehyde Derivatives from CO2 Reduction and Methanol Oxidation

Utilizing CO₂-derived formaldehyde derivatives for fuel additive or polymer synthesis is a promising approach to reduce net carbon dioxide emissions. Existing methodologies involve converting CO₂ to methanol by thermal hydrogenation, followed by electrochemical or thermochemical oxidation to produce formaldehyde. Adding to the conventional methanol oxidation pathway, we propose a new electrochemical approach to simultaneously generate formaldehyde derivatives at both electrodes by partial methanol oxidation and the direct reduction of CO₂. To achieve this, a method to directly reduce CO₂ to formaldehyde at the cathode is required. Still, it has been scarcely reported previously due to the acidity of the formic acid intermediate and the facile over-reduction of formaldehyde to methanol. By enabling the activation and subsequent stabilization of formic acid and formaldehyde respectively in methanol solvent, we were able to implement a strategy where formaldehyde derivatives were generated at the cathode alongside the anode. Further mechanism studies revealed that protons supplied from the anodic reaction contribute to the activation of formic acid and the stabilization of the formaldehyde product. Additionally, it was found that the cathodic formaldehyde derivative Faradaic efficiency can be further increased through prolonged electrolysis time up to 50 % along with a maximum anodic formaldehyde derivative Faradaic efficiency of 90 %.
