Oxidation of alcohols by “activated” dimethyl sulfoxide. a preparative,steric and mechanistic study

The oxidation of primary, secondary, allylic, benzylic, hindered and bicyclic alcohols with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) “activated” by numerous electrophiles was studied: yields of carbonyls, by-products and recovered alcohols were quantitatively determined. Pathways for carbonyl and by-product formation are presented. Generally, yields of carbonyls increase with increased steric hindrance in the alcohols. Steric effects of tertiary amines, used for basification, were also investigated, and the results are consistent with the suggested reaction pathways. Among previously unreported “activators,” oxalyl chloride is the most generally effective; yields of carbonyls are typically over 95%. Thionyl chloride is also a satisfactory “activator” although yields of carbonyls are not quite as high. An improved method of preparation of alkyl methylthiomethyl ethers, by-products of the oxidation process, is reported.     

Photophysics and photostereomutation of Aryl methyl sulfoxides.

The effect of a methanesulfinyl group on the photophysics of several aromatic chromophores is reported. The spectroscopic singlet and triplet energies are affected only modestly, compared to that parent arenes, but the fluorescence yields fall by at least 1 order of magnitude. Fluorescence lifetimes are short. Fluorescence enhancements are observed on cooling the sulfoxides from room temperature to 77 K. High quantum yields of stereomutation are reduced as the temperature drops. There is not a consistent effect on triplet or phosphorescence yields. It is proposed that these results are consistent with a nonradiative pathway for deactivation of the singlet that results in stereomutation. A modest activation energy of a few kcal/mol is estimated for the photochemical racemization of 1-methanesulfinylpyrene.     

Thermolysis of polyethylene hydroperoxides in the melt, Part 10: Product yields from bimolecular and pseudo-monomolecular hydroperoxide decomposition

The quantitative aspects of some specific decomposition reactions of polyethylene hydroperoxides are re-examined. New data have shown that β-scission of primary alkoxy radicals is negligible in the temperature range of the thermolysis experiments. This is important for the true bimolecular hydroperoxide decomposition for which, in a first approximation, β-scission of primary and secondary alkoxy radicals had been taken into account. The calculation shows that the yields of the main oxidation products such as secondary alcohols, ketones, trans-vinylene groups and aldehydes are not considerably affected by the change. However, the theoretical yields of some minor products such as primary alcohols and of some combination reactions are strongly affected. For the pseudo-monomolecular hydroperoxide decomposition involving a segment of the polymer, the main novelty in comparison with previous work consists in taking into account β-scission of the secondary alkoxy radicals. It allows improving the accuracy of the calculated product yields. Moreover, all the theoretical calculations are on the same level of accuracy and can be used for comparison with the experimental product yields.     

THE PHOTOLYSIS OF TRYPTOPHAN IN THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN

Abstract— Quantum yields for the destruction of tryptophan by a single 500 J flash in aqueous solution have been determined over the pH range 1–13 in both air-equilibrated and nitrogen-saturated conditions. When these quantum yields are compared with the quantum yields for radical formation and photoejection of electrons, it is found that there is good agreement only for the nitrogen-saturated case. In air-equilibrated solutions of tryptophan, there is a large disparity between the measured degradation quantum yields and those for photoejection of electrons and radical formation. Oxygen, therefore, is playing a major role in the photochemical decomposition and it is proposed that the major reaction which occurs, under normal atmospheric conditions, is the reaction of the lowest triplet excited state of tryptophan with oxygen.
Preliminary photolysis-product distributions against pH are discussed, and indicate that a total of nine major products are formed in the presence of oxygen.     

EXCIPLEX STUDIES–V. ELECTRON EJECTION FROM INDOLE AND METHYL-INDOLE DERIVATIVES*

Abstract— Electron-scavenging experiments with N₂O as scavenger demonstrate at least two electron-producing reactions of the excited singlet states of the exciplex species formed by indole or 1 -methyl-indole with water. Most electrons reacting with N₂O result from collision of the scavenger with a metastable state formed from the initial exciplex state but finite electron yields from indole and 1-methyl-indole at limiting scavenger concentrations suggest that the intermediate states also eject electrons directly into the solvent. The formation of the first metastable state from the fluorescent exciplex state has an activation energy, E_M, estimated to be about 13 kcal/mole for both indole and 1 -methyl-indole water exciplexes. The E_M values for 1-methyl-indole from fluorescence and electron yields are the same, Indicating that at neutral and alkaline pH fluorescence quenching and electron extraction are both being controlled by the formation of the first metastable intermediate. Observed electron yields from indole-water and indole-methanol exciplexes are less than predicted using fluorescence data, although E_M values of 1 kcal/mole are obtained for the indole-methanol exciplex by both methods. At pH 12·0 and 28°C the total electron yields for indole-water and 1 -methyl-indole-water exciplexes are 0·30 and 0·25, respectively. The residual yields attributed to outright formation of hydrated electrons from the initial exciplex excited stateare 0·11 and 0·05, respectively. Electron yields from the indole-water exciplex are strongly pH dependent only near pH 1 where the fluorescence yields as well as the electron yields decrease rapidly with increasing acidity. The 1-methyl-indole-water exciplex shows an additional pH dependence which is first-order in hydrogen-ion activity and has an effective pK_a of about 11·5. Comparable yields for indole and 1-methyl-indole are found only above pH 12. High electron yields are found with indole in the exciplex-forming solvent dioxane and in the non-exciplex forming solvent cyclohexane. For the latter system electrons are probably derived only from the lowest excited state of indole on collision with N₂O.     

Some aspects of photochemical systems for direct light-induced hydrogen production

Various possible pathways for photochemical conversion of light energy, including light-induced electron transfer and hydride transfer, are described. Several problems diminishing the photoconversion efficiency as well as side reactions affecting the stability of these systems are discussed. Oxidation of photosensitizers by singlet oxygen as well as attack by OH radicals is supposed to be the main degradation pathway for dyes and for the photoinduced reactions. The stability of viologens (acting as electron transfer agents) is mainly affected by hydrogenation, for which a reaction mechanism is presented. The dependence of rate constants on the free enthalpy of reaction is discussed with respect to quantum yields for light energy conversion. Following this, quantum yields of cyclic water splitting based on diffusion-controlled reactions are very low. Selective catalysis or vectorial processes (with a spatial charge separation) could enhance the quantum yields.

Glutathione Synthesis Is Not Involved in Protection by N-Acetyl cysteine Against UVB-lnduced Systemic Immunosuppression in Mice

The photophysics of 5,10,15,20-tetraarylethynylporphyrinatozinc(II) complexes, 1 and 2, are reported. Compared to 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinatozinc(II) (ZnTPP), the UV/visible spectra of 1 and 2 have red-shifted B and Q bands, with the Q bands of increased intensity relative to the B band. FIuorescence quantum yields and lifetimes and triplet quantum yields and lifetimes are similar to ZnTPP. However, quantum yields for in vitro singlet-oxygen generation are much larger than for ZnTPP and for 2 the quantum yield is near unity. These findings suggest that the title compounds could be potential lead compounds as sensitizers for photodynamic therapy.     

Effect of pH on H2O2 production in the radiolysis of water

The yields of hydrogen peroxide have been measured in the radiolysis of aqueous solutions of acrylamide, bromide, nitrate, and air in the pH range of 1-13. Hydrogen peroxide is the main stable oxidizing species formed in the radiolysis of water, and its long-term yield is found to be very sensitive to the system used in the measurements. Experiments with γ-irradiation combined with model calculations show that the primary yields of hydrogen peroxide are nearly independent of pH in the range of 2-12. Slightly higher primary yields are suggested at very low pH in particular when O(2) is present, while the yields seem to decrease at very high pH. Irradiations were performed with 5 MeV H ions, 5 MeV He ions, and 10 MeV C ions to evaluate the intratrack and homogeneous kinetic contributions to H(2)O(2) formation with different ions. Many of the trends in hydrogen peroxide yields with pH observed with γ-irradiations are observed with irradiation by the heavy ions. The lower yields of radicals in the homogeneous phase with the heavier ions tend to minimize the effects of radicals on the hydrogen peroxide yields at long times.     

Ultrasound-assisted multicomponent synthesis of heterocycles in water – A review

Ultrasound-assisted multicomponent reactions in water are great implements for the development of bioactive compounds. The methodologies for the synthesis of different heterocyclic molecules have acquired enormous attention. Many such techniques are energy-intensive and associated with hazardous chemicals, solvents, expensive work-ups. Low yields and multi-step schemes generate huge organic waste. Hence, researchers thus focussed on benign and eco-friendly techniques to assemble heterocyclic analogs and drug molecules. The ultrasound-assisted synthesis of the target organic moieties frequently facilitates higher product yields than other methodologies. This review is focused on ultrasound-aided multicomponent reactions for synthesizing varied nitrogen-, oxygen-, and sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds using water as the solvent. The advantages and limitations with respect to yields and reaction conditions are discussed. This evaluation covered the literature reports from 2014 to date.
