Kinetics and Mechanism of Iridium（Ⅲ）-Catalyzed Oxidation of Ethanol Amine by Cerium（ Ⅳ ） in Sulfuric Acid Media

In this study, the kinetics and mechanism of the iridium(Ⅲ)-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol amine(EAN) by cerium(Ⅳ) in a sulfuric acid medium was investigated using titrimetric technique of redox in a temperature range of 298—313 K. It was found that the reaction is of first order with respect to Ce(Ⅳ) and Ir(Ⅲ), and a positive fractional order with respect to EAN. It was also found that the pseudo-first-order([EAN][Ce(Ⅳ)]) rate constant kobs decreases with the increase of [H ] and [HSO-4]. Under the protection of nitrogen gas, the reaction system can initiate the polymerization of acrylonitrile, indicating the generation of free radicals. On the basis of the experimental results, a suitable mechanism was proposed. From the dependence of kobs on the concentration of hydrogen sulfate, Ce(SO4)2 was found to be the kinetically active species. The rate constants of the rate-determining step together with the activation parameters were evaluated.

Spectrofluorimetric Determination of the Hypertensive Drug Captopril Based on Its Oxidation with Cerium(IV)

A highly sensitive and specific spectrofluorimetric method for the analysis of captopril (CAP) in the pure form and in the tablet dosage forms has been described. The method was based on the oxidation of captopril by cerium(IV) in the presence of sulphuric acid and subsequent monitoring the fluorescence of the induced Ce(III) ion produced at λ_ex = 256 nm and λ_em = 354 nm. All variables affecting the reaction conditions such as cerium(IV) concentration, type and concentration of acid medium, reaction time, diluting solvents, temperature and heating time were carefully studied and optimized. Under the experimental conditions used, an excellent linear relationship was obtained between fluorescence intensity and the concentration of CAP. A linear range of determination was verified for captopril concentrations between 0.1–1.3 μg mL^?1 and the correlation coefficient of determination was 0.9997. Quantitation and detection limits were calculated. The precision of the method was satisfactory; the values of relative standard deviations did not exceed 1.14%. No interference could be observed from the excipients and additives are commonly presented in dosage forms. The proposed method was applied successfully for the assay of the studied drug in pure form and in pharmaceutical dosage forms. Recovery experiments revealed recovery of 99.82–100.21%. The results of the analysis show a good agreement with those obtained by official method stated in the United State Pharmacopoeia.     

Kinetics of Oxidation of Diphenylmethane and Derivatives with Ce(IV) in Aqueous Acidic Acetonitrile

In aqueous acidic acetonitrilc solution cerium(IV) oxidizes diphenylmethane (Ph₂CH₂) to produce diphenylmethanol (Ph₂CHOH) first and then benzophenone (Ph₂CO). With the organic reductant in great excess, both the Ce(IV)-Ph₂CH₂ and Ce(IV)-Ph₂CHOH rcactions follow second-order kinetics. The rates of both reactions increase nonlinearly with increasing [H⁺] or with decreasing [H₂O]. Both kinetic and spectrophotometrc results indicate that replacement of water molecules by complex formation through the phenyl or hydroxyl group plays an important role in activating the reaction. Under similar conditions, the order of relative reactivities toward Ce(IV) oxidation is PhCH₂OH > CH₃CH₂OH > Ph2CHOH > Ph₂CH₂ > PhCH₃> (Ph₂CO, C₆H₆). Mechanistic interpretations of the kinetic results are presented.     

Amphiphilic polymeric Michler's ketone (MK) photoinitiators (APMKs) containing PEO chain and coinitiator amine

A series of amphiphilic polymeric Michler's ketone (MK) photoinitiators (APMKs) were synthesized by incorporating PEO short chain, MK moiety, and coinitiator amine into the same polymeric chain. APMKs possess good amphiphilic ability and become water‐soluble when the molar ratio of MK(pipaz)₂/PEO/piperazine is 2:3:1. UV–Vis measurement shows that APMKs possess the same characteristic absorption to MK derivatives. The photopolymerization of three monomers with different functionality and hydrophilicity, polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), phenoxy ethyl acrylate (AMP‐10G), and 2,2‐bis[4‐(acryloxypolyethoxy)phenyl]propane (A‐BPE‐10) initiated by APMKs was investigated by photodifferential scanning (photo‐DSC). The results show that APMKs can photoinitiate the polymerization of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers efficiently. As for photopolymerization of water‐soluble PEGDA, the final conversion is higher than 94%. Therefore, APMKs will be expected to find potential in many fields.

硫酸溶液中胶束催化Ce(IV)氧化D-甘露糖

Kinetics of D-mannose oxidation by cerium (IV) was studied in a sulfuric acid medium at 40℃ both in absence and presence of ionic micelles. In both cases, the rate of the reaction was first-order in D-mannose and in cerium(Ⅳ), which decreased with increasing [H2SO4]. This suggested that the redox reaction followed the same mechanism. The reaction proceeded through formation of an intermediate complex, which was proved by kinetic method. The complex underwent slow unimolecular decomposition to a free radical that reacted with cerium (Ⅳ) to afford the product. The catalytic role of cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelles was best explained by the Menger-Portnoy model. The study of the effect of CTAB also indicated that a negatively charged species was reactive form of cerium (Ⅳ). From the kinetic data, micelle-cerium (Ⅳ) binding and rate constants in micellar medium were evaluated.The anionic micelle of sodium dodecyl sulfate plays no catalytic role. The oxidation has the rate expression --d[Ce(Ⅳ)]= k1Kcl[D-mannose] [Ce(Ⅳ)]dt Different activation parameters for micelle catalyzed and uncatalyzed paths were also calculated and discussed.

Liquid-Phase and Solventless Oxidation of Cyclohexane,Benzene, and Other Hydrocarbons by Cerium(IV) Catalyzed by Iridium(III) in Acidic Medium

Oxidation of some hydrocarbons dissolved in acetic acid by cerium(IV) sulphate at 100 °C in the presence of traces of iridium(III) chloride (catalyst-substrate 1:56818 to 151515) in the solution phase resulted in good to excellent yields of corresponding carbonyl compounds. In the cases of cyclohexane and benzene, 44% and 51.8% yields of corresponding carbonyl compounds were obtained, whereas in other cases, yield ranged from 34.9 to 99.8%. Yield decreased when reactions were performed in a microwave oven by adsorbing reactants (except acetic acid) on alumina. Decrease in the yield was probably due to the high temperature generated during the course of the reaction, resulting in the loss of organics from evaporation. Conditions were optimized for the highest yields under ambient conditions.     

Nitrophenol Derivatives Oxidized by Cerium(IV) Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) and Their Cytotoxicity

Furthermore, compound 10b showed selective activities to Hep G2, Hep 3B, MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐231 cancer cell lines.     

Liquid Phase and Microwave Assisted Oxidation of Some Hydrocarbons,Aromatic Aldehydes,and Phenols by Cerium(IV) Catalyzed by Iridium(III) in Acidic Medium

Addition of traces of iridium(III) chloride with cerium(IV) sulphate (catalyst–substrate ratio 1:75757 to 1:151515) in traditional water-bath heating resulted in the oxidation of propyl benzene, naphthalene, dimethoxy benzaldehyde, trimethoxy benzaldehydes, cresol, and quinol dissolved in acetic acid to give 70, 33, 96, 74, 49, and 66% yields respectively of the products, while phenol and resorcinol polymerized. Reactants adsorbed on alumina under solventless conditions in a microwave oven resulted in the decrease in yield. Oxidation of both hydroxyl groups takes place in quinol, whereas it was selective at the α-carbon in the side chain and at the methyl group in the case of propyl benzene and cresol, respectively. Conditions were tested for the highest yields under the experimental conditions.     

Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate: Reagent for the versatile oxidative functionalization of styrenes using N-hydroxyphthalimide

Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate was found to be a versatile reagent for the oxidative functionalization of styrenes using N-hydroxyphthalimide and iodine affording three different types of products with oxyphthalimide, nitrate and iodide groups. It was shown that reaction of styrenes with N-hydroxyphthalimide and cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate can be selectively directed to oxynitro-oxyphthalimides and dioxyphthalimides depending on the reaction conditions, in particular a solvent. Reaction of styrenes with iodine under the action of N-hydroxyphthalimide and cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate leads to the formation of iodo-oxyphthalimides.     

Isomerization of Maleic Acid to Fumaric Acid Catalyzed by Cerium(IV) and N-Bromo Compounds

Maleic acid (MA) in aqueous sulfuric acid undergoes catalytic isomerization in the presence of small amounts of Cerium(IV) ion and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) or N-bromoacetamide (NBA). The rate of isomerization is very fast even at room temperature and the yield is quite acceptable. The rate of isomerization depends on the relative amounts of MA, Ce(IV), NBS, NBA, and H₂SO₄. However, maleic acid has greater effect on the final yield. Sulfuric acid exhibits more chemical effect than physical effects. The competitive redox reactions of Ce(IV), NBS, and NBA with MA limit the yield of isomerization to about 85%. In the vicinity of room temperature, a raise of five degrees in temperature nearly doubles the rate of isomerization. Acrylamide shows inhibitive effect on the isomerization. The rate of hydrolysis of NBS or NBA in aqueous acidic solution depends on the concentrations of hydrogen ion, and NBS or NBA itself. The rate of hydrolysis of NBA is much faster than that of NBS. Mechanism involving bromine atom as catalyst is proposed to explain experimental results.     

Kinetics of Central Ion Electroreduction in Cerium (IV)-Decatungstate

A general characteristics is given to the kinetics of electroreduction of cerium-decatugstate anions on mercury, polycrystalline gold, and the pyrolytic-graphite basis plane in acetate buffer solutions (pH 3.5-6.0). Based on the analysis of UV absorption spectra, the ratio of two reactant forms differing in the protonation degree in solutions under study is estimated. At a negatively charged mercury electrode, the reduction of the Ce(IV) central ion is shown to proceed as an outer-sphere process with classical manifestations of the psi-prime effect (polarization curves reveal a current minimum which deepens with supporting electrolyte dilution and an increase in the reactant negative charge). On the positively charged surface, the current is observed to increase with an increase in the supporting electrolyte concentration, which is interpreted in terms of the strong adsorption of the reactant and its coadsorption with cations. The gold electrode demonstrates pronounced effects of strong chemisorption. Adsorption complications observed on pyrolytic graphite are shown to become strongther for surfaces with more pronounced nonideal behavior. For low concentrations of atomar steps (apparently, for low coverages of pyrolytic-graphite surface with the adsorbed reactant), the quasireversible electron transfer with the rate increasing with increasing pH is observed.     

Kinetic-Fluorimetric Determination of Choline and Acetylcholine by Oxidation with Ce(IV)

Abstract

A kinetic fluorimetric method for the determination of choline and acetylcholine based on the oxidation of these analytes by Ce(IV) in a sulfuric acid medium yielding fluorescent Ce(III) is proposed. The calibration graph of each analyte is linear over the range 1.7x10^?5 ? 1×10^?3 M and the relative standard deviation is about 2% in both cases. The rate of appearance of Ce(III) fluorescence was found to be influenced by various processes in addition to the oxidation reaction and experiments were carried out in order to elucidate them.     

Oxidation of ketones by cerium(IV) in presence of iridium(III) chloride

Kinetic data, in iridium(III) chloride catalyzed oxidation of ethyl methyl ketone (EMK) and methyl propyl ketone (MPK) by cerium(IV) perchlorate in aqueous perchloric acid medium, suggest the formation of complex C₁ between cerium(IV) and organic substrate in the first equilibrium step, which in turn gives rise to another complex C₂ with the catalyst. This second complex in the rate-determining step gives rise to the intermediate products. Interestingly IrCl_3, which is considered to be a sluggish catalyst in alkaline media, was found to surpass the catalytic efficiency of even osmium and ruthenium in acidic media. Rate decreases in the beginning at low acid concentrations, but after reaching to a minimum it becomes directly proportional to acid concentrations. Probably on increasing the acid concentrations hydrolyzed species of ceric perchlorate gradually converts into the un-hydrolyzed species, which then accelerates the rate at higher [H⁺], resulting in the observed peculiar effect of hydrogen ions on the rate. Initial concentrations of cerium(IV) and acid determine the extent of reduction of cerium(IV) by water. Order of the reaction shows direct proportionality with respect to the oxidant and ketones at their low concentrations, but tends to become zeroth order at their higher concentrations. Rate of the reaction shows direct proportionality with respect to [IrCl₃] while change in ionic strength of the medium does not affect the reaction velocity. Parameters such as the energy of activation, free energy of activation and entropy data suggest that methyl propyl ketone forms the activated complex more easily compared to ethyl methyl ketone.     

Esterification‐nitration of Ortho‐hydroxyphenyl Carboxylic Acids and Benzoic Acids with Cerium(IV) Ammonium Nitrate (CAN)

A convenient and useful esterification was realized, and this reaction proceeded without a dehydrating reagent or water removal equipment. A series of ortho‐hydroxyphenyl carboxylic acids and benzoic acids were transformed to their corresponding methyl esters under CAN/CH₃OH reaction conditions. Whereas in an aprotic solvent, acetonitrile, sp³‐C tethered ortho‐hydroxyphenyl carboxylic acids undergo simultaneous o,p‐dinitration and intramolecular esterification reactions in good yields. Also, 2‐((1 E)‐2‐nitrovinyl)‐4‐nitro‐phenol ( 3e ) showed selective cytotoxicities toward MCF‐7, HEP G2, and HEP 3B cell lines with IC₅₀ values of 23.50, 7.33, and 7.59 ug/mL, respectively.     

Cerium(IV)-mediated C-C bond formations in carbohydrate chemistry

We provide a comprehensive study on the addition of radicals to unsaturated carbohydrates in the presence of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN). The method is applicable to hexoses, pentoses, and disaccharides, tolerates different protecting groups, and is characterized by mild reaction conditions. Best substrates are malonates and glycals, which afford 2-C-branched carbohydrates in high yields and stereoselectivities. For the first time, the anomeric radicals were trapped with nucleophiles after oxidation and thus the 1- and 2-position of glucose were functionalized in one step. Nitro compounds are suitable CH acidic radical precursors as well, offering an easy access to C-analogs of glycosamines in moderate to good yields. Finally, selective reductions demonstrate the synthetic potential of cerium(IV)-mediated radical reactions in carbohydrate chemistry.
