Biomimetic alcohol oxidations by an iron(III) porphyrin complex: relevance to cytochrome P-450 catalytic oxidation and involvement of the two-state radical rebound mechanism

The systematic oxidation reactions of a wide range of alcohols have been carried out by using an iron porphyrin complex in order to understand their relation to cytochrome P-450 enzymes and to have a practical application to organic synthesis. The iron porphyrin complex catalyzed efficiently alcohol oxidation to the respective carbonyl compound via a high-valent iron-oxo porphyrin intermediate ((Porp)Fe=O+). Several mechanistic studies such as isotope 18O labeling, deuterium isotope effect, linear free energy relationship, and ring-opening of radical clock substrate, have suggested that the alcohol is oxidized by a sequence of reactions involving an alpha-hydroxyalkyl radical intermediate and oxygen rebound to form the gem-diol, dehydration of which yields the carbonyl compounds. Moreover, it has been proposed that a two-state reactivity mechanism can also be adopted for alcohol oxidation reactions in iron porphyrin model systems as exhibited by P-450 enzymes.     

Steroid-bismetalloporphyrin as enzyme model of cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase

The model compounds of androgenic steroid-bismetallopor-phyrins 3a-3d and androgenic monometalloporphyrins 2a-2d have been synthesized. Catalytic study in two-phase condition on epoxidation of styrene under the catalysis of model catalysts shows (hat the catalytic performances of steriod-bismet-alloporphyrin is superior to steroid- metalloporphyrin and the corresponding simple metalloporphyrin. The excellent catalytic property of steriod-bismetallopotphyrin can be rationalized as the hydrophobic action of steroid framework and the cooperative action of two metalloporphyrins in catalysis.     

Synthesis and cytochrome P-450-like reactivity of polypeptide-bound porphinatoiron(III)

Polypeptide-bound porphinatoiron(III) was synthesized. This polymer could catalyze the hydroxylation of aniline with H₂O₂ more effectively, and catalyze the monooxygenase-type oxidation of olefins more selectively in the porphinatoiron (III)-O₂-NaBH₄-Me₄NOH system²⁾ than non-bound porphinatoiron.     

Oxygen activation by cytochrome p450: a thermodynamic analysis

Electrode potentials for every intermediate in the cytochrome P450 cycle were estimated and evaluated by means of an oxidation state diagram. By this approach, and within the uncertainties of the approximations, the superoxide complex of cytochrome P450 at pH 7 is oxidizing: E degrees ' (P450FeO(2)2+, H+/P450FeOOH2+) = +0.93 V, and the Gibbs energy for the reaction of the hydroperoxo complex of cytochrome P450 to form compound I and water, P450FeOOH2+ + H+ = P450FeO2+ por(*+) + H2O, is 0 kJ/mol. Although cytochrome P450FeOOH2+ and cytochrome P450FeO2+ por(*+) are approximately isoenergetic, they are likely to react at different rates with substrates and may yield different products. Homolysis of the hydroperoxo complex of cytochrome P450 to compound II and the hydroxyl radical, P450FeOOH2+ = P450FeO2+ + HO(*), is unfavorable (DeltaG degrees ' = +92 kJ/mol), as is the dissociation into HOO- and cytochrome P450Fe3+ (+73 kJ/mol). It is shown that the sum of the Gibbs energy of association for cytochrome P450Fe3+ with the hydroperoxo anion and the Gibbs energy for the one-electron reduction of cytochrome P450FeOOH2+, relative to NHE, is constant (-203 kJ/mol). While the estimated E degrees ' (P450FeO(2)2+, H+/P450FeOOH2+) = +0.93 V at pH 7 is larger than necessary to effect reduction of cytochrome P450FeO(2)2+, the magnitude of this electrode potential implies that the binding constant for cytochrome P450Fe3+ with hydrogen peroxide is ca. 3 x 106 M(-1) at pH 7. An association constant of this magnitude ensures that a fraction of cytochrome P450FeOOH2+ is available to form compound I or to react with substrates directly, while a larger one would imply that compound I is too weak an oxidant. In general, the energetics of the reduction of dioxygen to water determines the energetics of catalysis of hydroxylations by cytochrome P450. These results enable calibration of energy levels obtained for intermediates in the cytochrome P450 reaction cycle obtained by ab initio calculations and provide insights into the catalytic efficiency of cytochrome P450 and guidelines for the development of competent hydroxylation catalysts.     

Electrochemical olefin epoxidation employing an iron(IV)porphyrin/trisbipyridineruthenium(III) polymer catalyst

A porphyrin molecule containing four meso-appended 2,2'-bipyridyl ligands has been prepared. Each bipyridine is attached to the porphyrin core at the 4-position (pseudo-para to one of the pyridine nitrogens). Subsequently, each of the four bipyridines was complexed with a RuL2(2+) moiety and iron coordinated in the porphyrin core. When L = 4-vinyl-4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine, reduction of the ruthenium centers resulted in the formation of robust electroactive polymer films which deposited on the electrode surface. In the presence of aqueous acid, these films electrocatalytically epoxidize cyclohexene at positive potentials from the formal iron(IV) oxidation state. Although product analysis has only been conducted for cyclohexene, the catalytic activity extends to a large variety of olefins including ethylene and propylene.     

Electrochemical model of alkane oxidation by cytochrome P-450

Catalytic oxidation of alkanes to alcohols and ketones was shown to take place in an electrochemical cell with iron porphyrin deposited on a graphite cathode. The oxidation mechanism was assumed to be similar to that of cytochrome P-450 action.

Dioxygen activation with a cytochrome P450 model. Characterization and electrochemical study of new unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff-base complexes with iron(III) and cobalt(II)

Salicylaldehyde or 5-bromosalicylaldehyde react with 2,3-diaminophenol to give two unsymmetrical Schiff-bases H₂L¹, H₂L², respectively. With Fe(III) and Co(II), these ligands lead to four complexes: Fe(III)ClL¹, Fe(III)ClL², Co(II)L¹, Co(II)L². The structures of these complexes were determined by mass spectroscopy, infrared and electronic spectra. Cyclic voltammetry in dimethylformamide (DMF) showed irreversible waves for both ligands. In the same experimental conditions, Fe(III)ClL¹ exhibited a reversible redox couple Fe(III)/Fe(II) while the three other complexes showed quasi-reversible systems. The behavior of some of these complexes in the presence of dioxygen and the comparison with cytochrome P450 are described.     

Acid-promoted olefination of ketones by an iron(III) porphyrin complex

[reaction: see text] The acid-promoted olefination of unactivated ketones with diazo reagents in the presence of triphenylphosphine can be catalyzed by the commercially available iron(III) porphyrin complex Fe(TPP)Cl. The reactions were effectively carried out under mild conditions in a one-pot fashion with the use of a stoichiometric diazo reagents and substoichiometric benzoic acid. Examples include aromatic, aliphatic, cyclic, and unsaturated ketones with ethyl diazoacetate or tert-butyl diazoacetate.

Mesoporous chitosan‐immobilized iron tetrakis(4‐carboxyphenyl)porphyrin as a model of cytochrome P‐450 enzyme for oxidation of ethylbenzene

Mesoporous chitosan‐grafted iron tetra (4‐carboxyphenyl) porphyrin catalyst (Fe TCPP/mesp‐CTS) was prepared and investigated as a practical model for the nano‐cavity and coordinate regulation‐catalysis(CRC) function in cytochrome P‐450 enzyme. Fe TCPP/mesp‐CTS was characterized by X‐ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetry (TG), Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy(UV‐Vis), Ultraviolet–visible– Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV‐DRS), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The catalytic activity of Fe TCPP/mesp‐CTS for ethylbenzene oxidation was investigated and it was proved to be a better catalyst than Fe TCPP/macp‐CTS based on the ethylbenzene conversion, turnover numbers(TON), and the reusability. These results are attributed to the mesocavity and CRC of amino group in Fe TCPP/mesp‐CTS. The highest ethylbenzene conversion and yields of ketone and alcohol were 24.4% and 18.2%, respectively.     

Carbon-nitrogen bond activation of amines by rhodium(III) porphyrin complexes

Carbon-nitrogen bond activation of amines by rhodium porphyrin chloride has been achieved to give rhodium porphyrin alkyl complexes. Rhodium porphyrin hydride and rhodium porphyrin dimer were proposed as the intermediates in cleaving the C-N bond.     

Syntheses and oxygenation of iron(II) “strapped” porphyrin complexes

A general route to ‘strapped’ porphyrins which are bridged between diagonally opposite meso-positions is described. Studies on the oxygenation and carbonylation of their iron(II) complexes have shown that they are inferior to ‘capped’ porphyrins as models for the oxygen-carrying haemoproteins. The results reported herein suggest that strapping structures which do not enforce well-defined and rigid cavities for oxygen binding afford little protection against irreversible oxidation of (dioxygen) (porphyrin) iron(II) complexes.

Oxygen catalyzed mobilization of iron from ferritin by iron(III) chelate ligands

Tridentate chelate ligands of 2,6-bis[hydroxy(methyl)amino]-1,3,5-triazine family rapidly release iron from human recombinant ferritin in the presence of oxygen. The reaction is inhibited by superoxide dismutase, catalase, mannitol and urea. Suggested reaction mechanism involves reduction of the ferritin iron core by superoxide anion, diffusion of iron(II) cations outside the ferritin shell, and regeneration of superoxide anions through oxidation of iron(II) chelate complexes with molecular oxygen.     

Electronic structures of five-coordinate iron(III) porphyrin complexes with highly ruffled porphyrin ring

The spin states of the iron(III) complexes with a highly ruffled porphyrin ring, [Fe(TEtPrP)X] where X = F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, and ClO4(-), have been examined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, EPR, and M?ssbauer spectroscopy. While the F-, Cl-, and Br- complexes adopt a high-spin (S = 5/2) state, the I- complex exhibits an admixed intermediate-spin (S = 5/2, 3/2) state in CD2Cl2 solution. The I- complex shows, however, a quite pure high-spin state in toluene solution as well as in the solid. The results contrast those of highly saddled [Fe(OETPP)X] where the I- complex exhibits an essentially pure intermediate-spin state both in solution and in the solid. In contrast to the halide-ligated complexes, the ClO4(-) complex shows a quite pure intermediate-spin state. The 13C NMR spectra of [Fe(TEtPrP)ClO4] are characterized by the downfield and upfield shifts of the meso and pyrrole-alpha carbon signals, respectively: delta(meso) = +342 and delta(alpha-py) = -287 ppm at 298 K. The data indicate that the meso carbon atoms of [Fe(TEtPrP)ClO4] have considerable amounts of positive spin, which in turn indicate that the iron has an unpaired electron in the d(xy) orbital; the unpaired electron in the d(xy) orbital is delocalized to the meso positions due to the iron(d(xy))-porphyrin(a(2u)) interaction. Similar results have been obtained in analogous [Fe(TiPrP)X] though the intermediate-spin character of [Fe(TiPrP)X] is much larger than that of the corresponding [Fe(TEtPrP)X]. On the basis of these results, we have concluded that the highly ruffled intermediate-spin complexes such as [Fe(TEtPrP)ClO4] and [Fe(TiPrP)ClO4] adopt a novel (d(xz), d(yz))3(d(xy))1(d(z)(2)1 electron configuration; the electron configuration of the intermediate-spin complexes reported previously is believed to be (d(xy))2(d(xz)), d(yz))2(d(z)(2))1.     

[TPPFe(III)]~2O的合成及其对细胞色素P-450的模拟

TPPFe(III)Cl通过中性Al~2O~3色谱柱得到一个新化合物, 它在HPLC中的保留时间比TPPFe(III)Cl大得多, IR、UV-Vis和元素分析表明, 这个新化合物是[TPPFe(III)]~2O. 同TPPFe(III)Cl一样, 它具有在常温常压下催化碳氢化合物单充氧化的性质。[TPPFe(III)]~2O催化下PhIO氧化环己烷的反应, 在CH~2Cl~2和环己烷介质中, 氧化产率分别为14.97和62.6%, 高于TPPFe(III)Cl作催化剂时的产率。在环己烷溶剂中, 反应产率与反应时间呈线性关系, 且反应有大约3小时诱导期。但在CH~2Cl~2溶剂中不存在反应产物与时间的线性关系, 也不存在诱导期。与TPPFe(III)Cl比较,[TPPFe(III)]~2O对氧化剂更稳定。上述事实表明, [TPPFe(III)]~2O能够作为细胞色素P-450的模型化合物。
