Nanoscale Hydroxyl Radical Generation from Multiphoton Ionization of Tryptophan

Exposure of solutions containing both tryptophan and hydrogen peroxide to a pulsed (∼180 fs) laser beam at 750 nm induces luminescence characteristic of 5-hydroxytryptophan. The results indicate that 3-photon excitation of tryptophan results in photoionization within the focal volume of the laser beam. The resulting hydrated electron is scavenged by hydrogen peroxide to produce the hydroxyl radical. The latter subsequently reacts with tryptophan to form 5-hydroxytryptophan. The involvement of hydroxyl radicals is confirmed by the use of ethanol and nitrous oxide as scavengers and their effects on the fluorescence yield in this system. It is postulated that such multiphoton ionization of tryptophanyl residues in cellular proteins may contribute to the photodamage observed during imaging of cells and tissues using multiphoton microscopy.

Experimental and Theoretical Study of Hydrogen Atom Abstraction from Ethylene by Stoichiometric Zirconium Oxide Clusters

The reactions of cationic zirconium oxide clusters （ZrxOy^＋） with ethylene （C2H4） were investigated by using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer coupled with a laser ablation/supersonic expansion cluster source. Some hydrogen containing products （ZrO2）xH^＋（x=-1-4） were observed after the reaction. The density functional theory calculations indicate that apart from the common oxygen transfer reaction channel, the hydrogen abstraction channel can also occur in （ZrO2）x^＋＋C2H4, which supports that the observed （ZrO2）xH^＋ may be due to （ZrO2）x^＋＋C2H4→（ZrO2）xH^＋＋C2H3. The rate constants of different reaction channels were also calculated by Rice-Rarnsberger-Kassel-Marcus theory.     

Catalytic Ammonia Oxidation to Dinitrogen by Hydrogen Atom Abstraction

Catalysts for the oxidation of NH₃ are critical for the utilization of NH₃ as a large‐scale energy carrier. Molecular catalysts capable of oxidizing NH₃ to N₂ are rare. This report describes the use of [Cp*Ru(P^tBu₂N^Ph₂)(¹⁵NH₃)][BAr^F₄], (P^tBu₂N^Ph₂=1,5‐di(phenylaza)‐3,7‐di(tert‐butylphospha)cyclooctane; Ar^F=3,5‐(CF₃)₂C₆H₃), to catalytically oxidize NH₃ to dinitrogen under ambient conditions. The cleavage of six N?H bonds and the formation of an N≡N bond was achieved by coupling H⁺ and e^? transfers as net hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA) steps using the 2,4,6‐tri‐tert‐butylphenoxyl radical (^tBu₃ArO^.) as the H atom acceptor. Employing an excess of ^tBu₃ArO^. under 1 atm of NH₃ gas at 23 °C resulted in up to ten turnovers. Nitrogen isotopic (¹⁵N) labeling studies provide initial mechanistic information suggesting a monometallic pathway during the N???N bond‐forming step in the catalytic cycle.     

Polycondensation of Sebacic Acid with Primary and Secondary Hydroxyl Groups Containing Diols Catalyzed by Candida antarctica Lipase B

Abstract

The aliphatic polyesters are normally synthesized by ester interchange reactions or direct esterification of hydroxyacids or diacid/diol combinations. Biotransformation, utilizing the enzymes as catalysts, was accepted as an alternative route for the synthesis of aliphatic polyesters and offers various advantages compared with the conventional, metal-catalyzed polymerization reactions. Previous studies indicated that lipase-catalyzed polycondensation reactions between diols and diacids occurred preferentially at primary hydroxyl groups of diols, when diols contained both primary and secondary hydroxyl groups. In this work, we investigated lipase-catalyzed polycondensation of diacids and secondary hydroxyl group–containing diols, and successfully synthesized polyesters by polycondensation with secondary hydroxyl groups as well as primary hydroxyl groups. Various diols, glycerol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol, and 2,4-pentanediol were tested for the polycondensation. The polymerization was achieved by heating a mixture of lipase B, sebacic acid, and the diols in anhydrous toluene at 100 °C for 72 h. The resulting polymers were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, Fourier transform–infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and gel permeation chromatography.     

Fluorescence Quenching of Benzaldehyde in Water by Hydrogen Atom Abstraction

We computed the mechanism of fluorescence quenching of benzaldehyde in water through relaxed potential energy surface scans. Time‐dependent density functional theory calculations along the protonation coordinate from water to benzaldehyde reveal that photoexcitation to the bright ππ* (S₃) state is immediately followed by ultrafast decay to the nπ* (S₁) state. Evolving along this state, benzaldehyde (BA) abstracts a hydrogen atom, resulting in a BAH^. and OH^. radical pair. Benzaldehyde does not act as photobase in water, but abstracts a hydrogen atom from a nearby solvent molecule. The system finally decays back to the ground state by non‐radiative decay and an electron transfers back to the OH^. radical. Proton transfer from BAH⁺ to OH^? restores the initial situation, BA in water.     

Preparation of Bicyclic Secondary and Tertiary Phosphines from Radical Addition of Phosphine and Primary Phosphines to Limonene

Abstract

In the presence of a free radical initiator, limonene combines with a primary phosphine to yield a 1:1 adduct (I). Initially the addition takes place at the isopropenyl moiety. The resulting secondary phosphine subsequently undergoes an intramolecular addition to produce two isomeric 2-alkyl-4,8-dimethyl-3-phosphabicyclo [3.3.1]nonanes (II, III) in >85% yield. Analogous bicyclic secondary phosphines are formed by free radical addition of phosphine to limonene. Yields are slightly lower due to the addition of the reactive secondary phosphines to a second mole of limonene.

A DFT‐Based Investigation of Hydrogen Abstraction Reactions from Methylated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

The growth of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is in many areas of combustion and pyrolysis of hydrocarbons an inconvenient side effect that warrants an extensive investigation of the underlying reaction mechanism, which is known to be a cascade of radical reactions. Herein, the focus lies on one of the key reaction classes within the coke formation process: hydrogen abstraction reactions induced by a methyl radical from methylated benzenoid species. It has been shown previously that hydrogen abstractions determine the global PAH formation rate. In particular, the influence of the polyaromatic environment on the thermodynamic and kinetic properties is the subject of a thorough exploration. Reaction enthalpies at 298 K, reaction barriers at 0 K, rate constants, and kinetic parameters (within the temperature interval 700–1100 K) are calculated by using B3LYP/6‐31+G(d,p) geometries and BMK/6‐311+G(3df,2p) single‐point energies. This level of theory has been validated with available experimental data for the abstraction at toluene. The enhanced stability of the product benzylic radicals and its influence on the reaction enthalpies is highlighted. Corrections for tunneling effects and hindered (or free) rotations of the methyl group are taken into account. The largest spreading in thermochemical and kinetic data is observed in the series of linear acenes, and a normal reactivity–enthalpy relationship is obtained. The abstraction of a methyl hydrogen atom at one of the center rings of large methylated acenes is largely preferred. Geometrical and electronic aspects lie at the basis of this striking feature. Comparison with hydrogen abstractions leading to arylic radicals is also made.
