Oxygen atom transfer reactions from isolated (oxo)manganese(V) corroles to sulfides

A series of five free-base corroles were metalated and brominated to form 10 manganese(III) corroles. Two of the free-base corroles and six manganese(III) corroles were analyzed by X-ray crystallography, including one complex that may be considered a transition-state analogue of oxygen atom transfer (OAT) from (oxo)manganese(V) to thioansisole. Oxidation by ozone allowed for isolation of the 10 corresponding (oxo)manganese(V) corroles, whose characterization by (1)H and (19)F NMR spectroscopy and electrochemistry revealed a low-spin and triply bound manganese-oxygen moiety. Mechanistic insight was obtained by investigating their reactivity regarding stoichiometric OAT to a series of p-thioanisoles, revealing a magnitude difference on the order of 5 between the β-pyrrole brominated (oxo)manganese(V) corroles relative to the nonbrominated analogues. The main conclusion is that the (oxo)manganese(V) corroles are legitimate OAT agents under conditions where proposed oxidant-coordinated reaction intermediates are irrelevant. Large negative Hammett ρ constants are obtained for the more reactive (oxo)manganese(V) corroles, consistent with expectation for such electrophilic species. The least reactive complexes display very little selectivity to the electron-richness of the sulfides, as well as a non-first-order dependence on the concentration of (oxo)manganese(V) corrole. This suggests that disproportionation of the original (oxo)manganese(V) corrole to (oxo)manganese(IV) and (oxo)manganese(VI) corroles, followed by substrate oxidation by the latter complex, gains importance when the direct OAT process becomes progressively less favorable.     

Mechanism of (Salen)manganese(III)‐Catalyzed Oxidation of Aryl Phenyl Sulfides with Sodium Hypochlorite

The oxidation of 4‐substituted phenyl phenyl sulfides was carried out with several oxo(salen)manganese(V) complexes in MeCN/H₂O 9 : 1. The kinetic data show that the reaction is first‐order each in the oxidant and sulfide. Electron‐attracting substituents in the sulfides and electron‐releasing substituents in salen of the oxo(salen)manganese(V) complexes reduce the rate of oxidation. A Hammett analysis of the rate constants for the oxidation of 4‐substituted phenyl phenyl sulfides gives a negative ρ value (ρ=?2.16) indicating an electron‐deficient transition state. The log k₂ values observed in the oxidation of each 4‐substituted phenyl phenyl sulfide by substituted oxo(salen)manganese(V) complexes also correlate with Hammett σ constants, giving a positive ρ value. The substituent‐, acid‐, and solvent‐effect studies indicate direct O‐atom transfer from the oxidant to the substrate in the rate‐determining step.     

Appended corrole manganese complexes:Catalysis and axial-ligand effect

A series of N-base appended corroles and their manganese complexes were synthesized and their binding constants with three different nitrogenous ligands, triethylamine, N-methylimidazole and pyridine, were evaluated by spectroscopy. Kinetic studies indicated that the presence of appended N- donor ligands may cause a significant enhancement of the rate of oxygen atom transfers （OAT） from （oxo）manganese（V） corrole to alkene, and the stronger axial ligand binding has impact on the rate of the oxidation reaction. Turnover frequency （TOF） for the catalytic oxidation of alkenes by appended manganese corroles varies with the following ligand order： acetamido 〈 pyridyl 〈 imidazolyl. The influence of the external axial ligands on the catalytic epoxidation was investigated by using appended acetamido manganese corrole as catalyst, with the results revealing that N-methylimidazole gave the best enhancement on the yields of total oxidation products among the investigated nitrogenous ligands.

Olefin oxygenation by the hydroperoxide adduct of a nonheme manganese(IV) complex: epoxidations by a metallo-peracid produces gentle selective oxidations

The reactive intermediates and mechanisms of oxygenation of olefins by manganese complexes were investigated by treating olefins with newly synthesized [MnIV(Me2EBC)(OH)2](PF6)2 in the presence and absence of peroxide and by studying its catalytic epoxidation reaction in normal aqueous solution and, individually, with isotopically labeled H218O, 18O2, and H218O2. The manganese oxo species is not the reactive intermediate for the oxygen transfer process mediated by this manganese complex. A novel manganese(IV) peroxide intermediate, MnIV(Me2EBC)(O)(OOH)+, was captured by mass spectrometry and is proposed as the intermediate that oxygenates olefins in this catalytic system.     

Catalytic Electron‐Transfer Oxygenation of Substrates with Water as an Oxygen Source Using Manganese Porphyrins

Manganese(V)–oxo–porphyrins are produced by the electron‐transfer oxidation of manganese–porphyrins with tris(2,2′‐bipyridine)ruthenium(III) ([Ru(bpy)₃]³⁺; 2 equiv) in acetonitrile (CH₃CN) containing water. The rate constants of the electron‐transfer oxidation of manganese–porphyrins have been determined and evaluated in light of the Marcus theory of electron transfer. Addition of [Ru(bpy)₃]³⁺ to a solution of olefins (styrene and cyclohexene) in CH₃CN containing water in the presence of a catalytic amount of manganese–porphyrins afforded epoxides, diols, and aldehydes efficiently. Epoxides were converted to the corresponding diols by hydrolysis, and were further oxidized to the corresponding aldehydes. The turnover numbers vary significantly depending on the type of manganese–porphyrin used owing to the difference in their oxidation potentials and the steric bulkiness of the ligand. Ethylbenzene was also oxidized to 1‐phenylethanol using manganese–porphyrins as electron‐transfer catalysts. The oxygen source in the substrate oxygenation was confirmed to be water by using ¹⁸O‐labeled water. The rate constant of the reaction of the manganese(V)–oxo species with cyclohexene was determined directly under single‐turnover conditions by monitoring the increase in absorbance attributable to the manganese(III) species produced in the reaction with cyclohexene. It has been shown that the rate‐determining step in the catalytic electron‐transfer oxygenation of cyclohexene is electron transfer from [Ru(bpy)₃]³⁺ to the manganese–porphyrins.

cis-Stilbene and (1 alpha,2 beta,3 alpha)-(2-ethenyl-3-methoxycyclopropyl)benzene as mechanistic probes in the Mn(III)(salen)-catalyzed epoxidation: influence of the oxygen source and the counterion on the diastereoselectivity of the competitive concerted and radical-type oxygen transfer

cis-Stilbene (1) has been epoxidized by a set of diverse oxygen donors [OxD], catalyzed by the Mn(III)(salen)X complexes 3 (X = Cl, PF(6)), to afford a mixture of cis- and trans-epoxides 2. The cis/trans ratios range from 29:71 (extensive isomerization) to 92:8, which depends both on the oxygen source [OxD] and on the counterion X of the catalyst. When (1 alpha,2 beta,3 alpha)-(2-ethenyl-3-methoxycyclopropyl)-benzene (4) is used as substrate, a mechanistic probe which differentiates between radical and cationic intermediates, no cationic ring-opening products are found in this epoxidation reaction; thus, isomerized epoxide product arises from intermediary radicals. The dependence of the diastereoselectivity on the oxygen source is rationalized in terms of a bifurcation step in the catalytic cycle, in which concerted Lewis-acid-activated oxygen transfer competes with stepwise epoxidation by the established Mn(V)(oxo) species. The experimental counterion effect is attributed to the computationally assessed ligand-dependent reaction profiles and stereoselectivities of the singlet, triplet, and quintet spin states available to the manganese species.     

Electron- and hydride-transfer reactivity of an isolable manganese(V)-oxo complex

The electron-transfer and hydride-transfer properties of an isolated manganese(V)?oxo complex, (TBP8Cz)Mn(V)(O) (1) (TBP8Cz = octa-tert-butylphenylcorrolazinato) were determined by spectroscopic and kinetic methods. The manganese(V)?oxo complex 1 reacts rapidly with a series of ferrocene derivatives ([Fe(C5H4Me)2], [Fe(C5HMe4)2], and ([Fe(C5Me5)2] = Fc*) to give the direct formation of [(TBP8Cz)Mn(III)(OH)]? ([2-OH]?), a two-electron-reduced product. The stoichiometry of these electron-transfer reactions was found to be (Fc derivative)/1 = 2:1 by spectral titration. The rate constants of electron transfer from ferrocene derivatives to 1 at room temperature in benzonitrile were obtained, and the successful application of Marcus theory allowed for the determination of the reorganization energies (λ) of electron transfer. The λ values of electron transfer from the ferrocene derivatives to 1 are lower than those reported for a manganese(IV)?oxo porphyrin. The presumed one-electron-reduced intermediate, a Mn(IV) complex, was not observed during the reduction of 1. However, a Mn(IV) complex was successfully generated via one-electron oxidation of the Mn(III) precursor complex 2 to give [(TBP8Cz)Mn(IV)]+ (3). Complex 3 exhibits a characteristic absorption band at λ(max) = 722 nm and an EPR spectrum at 15 K with g(max)′ = 4.68, g(mid)′ = 3.28, and g(min)′ = 1.94, with well-resolved 55Mn hyperfine coupling, indicative of a d3 Mn(IV)S = 3/2 ground state. Although electron transfer from [Fe(C5H4Me)2] to 1 is endergonic (uphill), two-electron reduction of 1 is made possible in the presence of proton donors (e.g., CH3CO2H, CF3CH2OH, and CH3OH). In the case of CH3CO2H, saturation behavior for the rate constants of electron transfer (k(et)) versus acid concentration was observed, providing insight into the critical involvement of H+ in the mechanism of electron transfer. Complex 1 was also shown to be competent to oxidize a series of dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) analogues via formal hydride transfer to produce the corresponding NAD+ analogues and [2-OH]?. The logarithms of the observed second-order rate constants of hydride transfer (k(H)) from NADH analogues to 1 are linearly correlated with those of hydride transfer from the same series of NADH analogues to p-chloranil.     

Theoretical investigation on transformation of Cr(II) to Cr(V) complexes bearing tetra-N-heterocyclic carbene and group transfer reactivity

The mechanism for the transformation among a series of Cr(II) to Cr(V) complexes bearing tetra-N-heterocyclic carbene macrocycle is investigated. The oxidation and aziridination of Cr(II) monomer are studied by local density functional M06L. The former generates Cr(IV) oxo and further oxidizes to cationic Cr(V) oxo. The latter proceeds via two paths with different multiplicity, forming Cr(IV) imide. The Cr(IV) oxo cannot transfer its oxygen atom neither to phosphine nor to alkene because of the high energy barrier and endothermic process. The group transfer reactions are explored for Cr(V) oxo and Cr(IV) imide. The doublet Cr(V) oxo can also exist as quartet Cr(IV)-oxyl radical and promote oxygen transfer to phosphine, resulting in phosphine oxide in one exergonic step. The macrocyclic ligand effect of imido group transfer from Cr(IV) imide is verified by Multiwfn analysis. For 18-ringed imide, the matched orbital type and same-phase overlap reduce the barrier of its 16-ringed analog and facilitate the formation of phosphorus imine.     

Comparison of silyl chromate and chromium oxide based olefin polymerization catalysts

A comparison of the ethylene polymerization performance conducted with an oxo and a triphenylsilyl chromate catalyst on silica was performed. The oxo catalyst has higher activity and better comonomer response. The silylchromate catalyst has a much longer induction time and made a much broader molecular weight distribution polymer compared to the oxo analogue. Performance similar to silylchromate on silica was observed when triphenylsilanol (TPS) was added to the oxo chromium catalyst. The oxo catalyst was converted to the silyl chromate catalyst by ligand substitution. Analysis of the catalyst components when TPS was added to the oxo chrome analogue showed that bis triphenylsilyl chromate can form and be removed from the support.     

Synthesis and full characterization of molybdenum and antimony corroles and utilization of the latter complexes as very efficient catalysts for highly selective aerobic oxygenation reactions

Two molybdenum and three antimony corroles were isolated and characterized by NMR, EPR, and electrochemistry. The very negative reduction potentials of the (oxo)molybdenum(V) corroles are clearly related to their inactivity as oxygen transfer reagents and the unsuccessful attempts to isolate lower-valent molybdenum corroles. X-ray crystallography of the (oxo)molybdenum(V) corrole 1a and the trans-difluoroantimony(V) corrole 2c, the first of their kind, revealed that their molecular structures represent extreme cases of such complexes: a highly domed corrole with very large out-of-plane metal displacement for 1a (0.73 Angstroms) and a very flat corrole with the metal ion in its center for 2c. All three antimony corroles displayed high activity and selectivity as catalysts for the photoinduced oxidation of thioanisole by molecular oxygen, with superior results obtained in alcoholic solvents with 2c as catalyst. Allylic and tertiary benzylic CH bonds were also oxidized under those conditions, with absolute selectivity to the corresponding hydroperoxides.

Dehydrogenative α-Oxygenation of Cyclic Ethers by a High-Valent Manganese(IV)-Oxo Species

High-valent metal-oxo species are typical catalytic cycle intermediates in mono-oxygenases and dioxygenases and commonly react through oxygen atom transfer to substrates. In this work we study a biomimetic model complex with a 1,1’-bis((3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)-2,2’-bipiperidine ligand system bound to a manganese(IV)-oxo(hydroxo) species and study its formation from manganese(II)-hydroxo and H₂O₂ as well as its reaction with (S)-1-phenylisochromane through dehydrogenative α-oxygenation. The work utilizes density functional theory methods to explore its catalytic cycle and its reactivity patterns. We show that the manganese(IV)-oxo(hydroxo) species is an active oxidant and preferentially the oxo group abstracts a hydrogen atom from substrate with barriers well lower in energy than those found for hydrogen atom abstraction by the hydroxo group. Interestingly, the rate-determining step is the OH rebound rather than the hydrogen atom abstraction, which would imply they would have limited kinetic isotope effect for the replacement of the transferring hydrogen atom by deuterium.     

Hydrogen‐Atom Abstraction Reactions by Manganese(V)– and Manganese(IV)–Oxo Porphyrin Complexes in Aqueous Solution

High‐valent manganese(IV or V)–oxo porphyrins are considered as reactive intermediates in the oxidation of organic substrates by manganese porphyrin catalysts. We have generated Mn^V– and Mn^IV–oxo porphyrins in basic aqueous solution and investigated their reactivities in C? H bond activation of hydrocarbons. We now report that Mn^V– and Mn^IV–oxo porphyrins are capable of activating C? H bonds of alkylaromatics, with the reactivity order of Mn^V–oxo>Mn^IV–oxo; the reactivity of a Mn^V–oxo complex is 150 times greater than that of a Mn^IV–oxo complex in the oxidation of xanthene. The C? H bond activation of alkylaromatics by the Mn^V– and Mn^IV–oxo porphyrins is proposed to occur through a hydrogen‐atom abstraction, based on the observations of a good linear correlation between the reaction rates and the C? H bond dissociation energy (BDE) of substrates and high kinetic isotope effect (KIE) values in the oxidation of xanthene and dihydroanthracene (DHA). We have demonstrated that the disproportionation of Mn^IV–oxo porphyrins to Mn^V–oxo and Mn^III porphyrins is not a feasible pathway in basic aqueous solution and that Mn^IV–oxo porphyrins are able to abstract hydrogen atoms from alkylaromatics. The C? H bond activation of alkylaromatics by Mn^V– and Mn^IV–oxo species proceeds through a one‐electron process, in which a Mn^IV–‐oxo porphyrin is formed as a product in the C? H bond activation by a Mn^V–oxo porphyrin, followed by a further reaction of the Mn^IV–oxo porphyrin with substrates that results in the formation of a Mn^III porphyrin complex. This result is in contrast to the oxidation of sulfides by the Mn^V–oxo porphyrin, in which the oxidation of thioanisole by the Mn^V–oxo complex produces the starting Mn^III porphyrin and thioanisole oxide. This result indicates that the oxidation of sulfides by the Mn^V–oxo species occurs by means of a two‐electron oxidation process. In contrast, a Mn^IV–oxo porphyrin complex is not capable of oxidizing sulfides due to a low oxidizing power in basic aqueous solution.     

Kinetics of hydrogen abstraction by active metal hydroxo and oxo intermediates: revealing their unexpected similarities in the transition state

The kinetics of hydrogen abstraction by manganese(IV) species having hydroxo or oxo group reveals that they have very similar reactive characters in the transition state of hydrogen abstraction.     

Penta­aqua­oxovanadium(IV) bis(trifluoro­methane­sulfonate)

The structure of the penta­aqua­oxo­vanadium(IV) ion in a salt with singly charged counter‐ions is presented. In [VO(H₂O)₅](CF₃SO₃)₂, the six‐coordinate V atom is coordinated to the oxo group with a short bond [1.577 (2) Å]. The equatorial V—O bond lengths are 2.0262 (18) and 2.0277 (17) Å. The aqua ligand trans to the oxo group is subject to its trans influence, which leads to a somewhat longer V—O bond [2.175 (2) Å]. In the structure, the cation and both anions are situated on crystallographic mirror planes. The cation and anions engage in a number of relatively long hydrogen bonds [2.725 (2)–2.834 (2) Å].     

Two new terpyridine dimanganese complexes: a manganese(III,III) complex with a single unsupported oxo bridge and a manganese(III,IV) complex with a dioxo bridge. Synthesis, structure, and redox properties

Two new terpyridine dimanganese oxo complexes [Mn(2)(III,IV)(mu-O)(2)(terpy)(2)(CF(3)CO(2))(2)](+) (3) and [Mn(2)(III,III)(mu-O)(terpy)(2)(CF(3)CO(2))(4)] (4) (terpy = 2,2':6,2' '-terpyridine) have been synthesized and their X-ray structures determined. In contrast to the corresponding mixed-valent aqua complex [Mn(2)(III,IV)(mu-O)(2)(terpy)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](3+) (1), the two Mn atoms in 3 are not crystallographically equivalent. The neutral binuclear monooxo manganese(III,III) complex 4 exhibits two crystallographic forms having cis and trans configurations. In the cis complex, the two CF(3)CO(2)(-) ligands on each manganese adopt a cis geometry to each other; one CF(3)CO(2)(-) is trans to the oxygen of the oxo bridge while the second is cis. In the trans complex, the two coordinated CF(3)CO(2)(-) have a trans geometry to each other and are cis to the oxo bridge. The electrochemical behavior of 3 in organic medium (CH(3)CN) shows that this complex could be oxidized into its corresponding stable manganese(IV,IV) species while its reduced form manganese(III,III) is very unstable and leads by a disproportionation process to Mn(II) and Mn(IV) complexes. Complex 4 is only stable in the solid state, and it disproportionates spontaneously in CH(3)CN solution into the mixed-valent complex 3 and the mononuclear complex [Mn(II)(terpy)(2)](2+) (2), thereby preventing the observation of its electrochemical behavior.     

Oxo–Group‐14‐Element Bond Formation in Binuclear Uranium(V) Pacman Complexes

Simple and versatile routes to the functionalization of uranyl‐derived U^V–oxo groups are presented. The oxo‐lithiated, binuclear uranium(V)–oxo complexes [{(py)₃LiOUO}₂(L)] and [{(py)₃LiOUO}(OUOSiMe₃)(L)] were prepared by the direct combination of the uranyl(VI) silylamide “ate” complex [Li(py)₂][(OUO)(N”)₃] (N”=N(SiMe₃)₂) with the polypyrrolic macrocycle H₄L or the mononuclear uranyl (VI) Pacman complex [UO₂(py)(H₂L)], respectively. These oxo‐metalated complexes display distinct U? O single and multiple bonding patterns and an axial/equatorial arrangement of oxo ligands. Their ready availability allows the direct functionalization of the uranyl oxo group leading to the binuclear uranium(V) oxo–stannylated complexes [{(R₃Sn)OUO}₂(L)] (R=nBu, Ph), which represent rare examples of mixed uranium/tin complexes. Also, uranium–oxo‐group exchange occurred in reactions with [TiCl(OiPr)₃] to form U‐O? C bonds [{(py)₃LiOUO}(OUOiPr)(L)] and [(iPrOUO)₂(L)]. Overall, these represent the first family of uranium(V) complexes that are oxo‐functionalised by Group 14 elements.     

DNA binding and nuclease activity of cationic iron(IV) and manganese(III) corrole complexes

Cationic meso(4‐N‐methylpyridyl)‐based metallocorroles, μ‐oxo iron corrole dimer ( 1b ) and manganese corrole monomer ( 2b ), were synthesized and characterized. The interactions of these two metal corrole complexes with CT‐DNA were studied by UV–visible, fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopic methods, as well as by viscosity measurements. The results revealed that 1b interacts with CT‐DNA in a difunctional binding mode, i.e. non‐classical intercalation and outside groove binding with H‐aggregation, while 2b can interact with CT‐DNA via an outside groove binding mode only. The binding constants K_b of 1b and 2b were 4.71 × 10⁵ m ^?1 and 2.17 × 10⁵ m ^?1, respectively, indicating that 1b can bind more tightly to CT‐DNA than 2b . Furthermore, both complexes may cleave the supercoiled plasmid DNA efficiently in the presence of hydrogen peroxide or tert‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), albeit 1b exhibited a little higher efficiency. The inhibitor tests suggested that singlet oxygen and high‐valent (oxo)iron(VI) corrole or (oxo)manganese(V) corrole might be the active intermediates responsible for the oxidative DNA scission.
