Reactions of 1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl radicals with NO2-: time-resolved electron spin resonance

The reaction of the alpha-hydroxyalkyl radical of 2-propanol (1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl radical) with nitrite ions was characterized. A product of the reaction was assigned as the adduct nitro radical anion, [HO-C(CH(3))(2)NO(2)](*-). This radical was identified using time-resolved electron spin resonance (TRESR). The radical's magnetic parameters, the nitrogen hyperfine coupling constant (a(N) = 26.39 G), and its g-factor (2.0052) were the same as those of the nitro radical anion previously discovered in (*)OH spin-trapping experiments with the aci-anion of (CH(3))(2)CHNO(2). Production of [HO-C(CH(3))(2)NO(2)](*-) was determined to be 38% +/- 4% of the reaction of (CH(3))(2)C(*)-OH with nitrite. The reason why this fraction was less than 100% was rationalized by invoking the competitive addition at oxygen, which forms [HO-C(CH(3))(2)ONO](*-), followed by a rapid loss of (*)NO. Furthermore, by taking this mechanism into account, the bimolecular rate constant for the total reaction of (CH(3))(2)C(*)-OH with nitrite at reaction pH 7 was determined to be 1.6 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1), using both decay traces of (CH(3))(2)C(*)-OH and growth traces of [HO-C(CH(3))(2)NO(2)](*-). This correspondence further confirms the nature of the reaction. The reaction mechanism is discussed with guidance by computations using density functional theory.

[reaction: see text] A highly stereoselective synthesis of (-)-erythrodiene starting from 4-isopropylcyclohexanone is described. The key reactions are an asymmetric methoxycarbonylation of the starting ketone and a highly diastereoselective radical cascade involving addition of a phenylthiyl radical to a terminal alkyne followed by a 1,5-hydrogen transfer and a 5-exo-cyclization.     

Radical addition reaction of alcohols to 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-5H-pyrrolin-2-one

Quantum chemical calculations of the parameters of the 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-5H-pyrrolin-2-one molecule have been carried out by the MNDO method. The radical addition reaction of aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic alcohols to 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-5H-pyrrolin-2-one with the formation of 3- and 4-substituted pyrrolidones has been investigated.Kuban State Technological University, Krasnodar 350072, Russia.

Relative stability of 1-(4-R-2,6-dinitrophenyl)-2,2-diphenylhydrazides

Substitution of the nitro group for methyl in the position 4 of the picrylic fragment of 1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-2,2-diphenylhydrazyl increases the relative stability of hydrazyl radical in reaction with CH-acids. The reaction rate of 1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-2,2-diphenylhydrazyl with acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate is described with equations of first order with respect to the radical and the СН-acid and is determined by the energy of electron transfer from HOMO of СН-acid on LUMO of the radical, which is its acceptor.     

A concise and efficient synthesis of (-)-allosamizoline

A regio- and stereocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-allosamizoline is described. The key steps for this synthesis are ring-closing metathesis to form the cyclopentene core, halocyclization to afford the oxazoline ring, and finally stereoselective alkene radical addition followed by an alkene isomerization reaction to install the hydroxymethyl group. (-)-Allosamizoline was prepared in a total of 13 steps and 22% overall yield.     

Free radical SH2′ reaction mechanism study by comparing free radical SH2′ reaction with free radical addition reaction

It is not clear whether the mechanism of the S_H2′ reaction of allyl chloride is concerted or stepwise. The relative rates of the competitive free radical addition to two different double bonds in (2-chloroallyl)-(2-choromethylallyl) ether have been determined. There are two competitive free radical addition reactions, one is free radical S_H2′ reaction and the other is free radical addition reaction. The mechanism of the S_H2′ reaction is discussed by comparing free radical S_H2′ reaction with free radical addition reaction.     

Synthesis of (-)-ilimaquinone via a radical decarboxylation and quinone addition reaction

[reaction: see text] A stereoselective synthesis of (-)-ilimaquinone (4) is presented. The synthetic strategy is based on a novel radical decarboxylation and quinone addition methodology that produces quinone 7 from reaction of thiohydroxamic acid derivative 8 with benzoquinone (9). Final functionalization of 7 to ilimaquinone (4) is achieved by exploring the electronic effects of the residual thiopyridyl group.     

Characterization of the activity of L-ascorbic acid 2-[3,4-dihydro-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-(4,8,12-trimethyltridecyl)-2H-1-be nzopyran-6-yl-hydrogen phosphate] potassium salt in hydroxyl radical elimination

The effect of L-ascorbic acid 2-[3,4-dihydro-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-(4,8,12-trimethyltridecyl)-2H -1-benzopyran-6-yl-hydrogen phosphate] potassium salt (EPC-K1) on hydroxyl radical (*OH) elimination was studied using electron spin resonance (ESR) and spectrophotometric experiments. The addition of EPC-K, and *OH scavengers eliminated the *OH generated from Cu2+/H2O2, Fe2+/H2O2 and H2O2/UV-irradiation reaction systems. However, in competitive reactions using different concentrations of a spin-trap agent, the addition of the *OH scavenger altered the IC50 values, whereas the addition of EPC-K1 and a metal chelater did not change the value in the Cu2+/H2O2 and Fe2+/H2O2 reaction systems. The addition of EPC-K1 and metal chelater changed the ESR signal for free Cu2+. The spectrophotometric experiments confirmed that the addition of EPC-K1 and metal chelater altered the absorption spectra due to CuCl2 and FeSO4, whereas the *OH scavenger did not alter the spectra. Therefore, it was demonstrated that EPC-K, has the ability both to scavenge *OH directly and to inhibit the generation of *OH by the chelation of Cu2+ and Fe2+.     

Enantiocontrolled synthesis of (-)-9-epi-pentazocine and (-)-aphanorphine

We have developed novel asymmetric routes to (-)-9- epi-pentazocine and (-)-aphanorphine from a d-tyrosine derivative. The tricyclic frameworks of (-)-9- epi-pentazocine and (-)-aphanorphine were assembled stereoselectively via intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of the corresponding bicyclic precursors, generated with titanium-promoted enyne cyclization and indium-initiated atom-transfer radical cyclization, respectively.     

Reactions of 2-chloro-2-(4-pyridyl)propane with nucleophiles. Substitution on tertiary carbon

The reaction of 2-chloro-2-(4-pyridyl)propane ( 2 ) with lithium 2-propanenitronate affords the C-alkylation product 2-nitro-3-(4-pyridyl)-2,3-dimethylbutane ( 3 ), the Michael-adduct 2-nitro-2-methyl-4-(4-pyridyl)pentane ( 4 ), 4-isopropenylpyridine ( 5 ) and 2-(4-pyridyl)-2-propanol ( 6 ). Of these four products, only the formation of 3 is suppressed when the reaction is performed in the presence of radical inhibitors. The reaction of compound 2 with sodium azide gives the tertiary substitution product 2-azido-2-(4-pyridyl)propane ( 8 ). The reaction is not influenced by radical inhibitors. This is also the case in the reaction of 2 with sodium benzenethiolate, which affords 2-mercaptophenyl-2-(4-pyridyl)propane ( 9 ) and 1-mercaptophenyl-2-(4-pyridyl)propane ( 10 ). Compound 5 , the product of an E₂-type elimination is also formed in the azide and thiolate reactions. A Michael type addition of sodium benzenethiolate to 5 explains the formation of 10 . Similarly, generation of 5 in reactions of 2 with sodium methanethiolate and sodium cyanide accounts for the formation of 1-mercaptomethyl-2-(4-pyridyl)propane ( 11 ) and 3-(4-pridyl)butanenitrile ( 12 ), respectively.     

Thermochemical and kinetic analyses on oxidation of isobutenyl radical and 2-hydroperoxymethyl-2-propenyl radical

In recognition of the importance of the isobutene oxidation reaction in the preignition chemistry associated with engine knock, the thermochemistry, chemical reaction pathways, and reaction kinetics of the isobutenyl radical oxidation at low to intermediate temperature range were computationally studied, focusing on both the first and the second O2 addition to the isobutenyl radical. The geometries of reactants, important intermediates, transition states, and products in the isobutenyl radical oxidation system were optimized at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) and MP2(full)/6-31G(d) levels, and the thermochemical properties were determined on the basis of ab initio, density functional theory, and statistical mechanics. Enthalpies of formation for several important intermediates were calculated using isodesmic reactions at the DFT and the CBS-QB3 levels. The kinetic analysis of the first O2 addition to the isobutenyl radical was performed using enthalpies at the CBS-QB3 and G3(MP2) levels. The reaction forms a chemically activated isobutenyl peroxy adduct which can be stabilized, dissociate back to reactants, cyclize to cyclic peroxide-alkyl radicals, and isomerize to the 2-hydroperoxymethyl-2-propenyl radical that further undergoes another O2 addition. The reaction channels for isomerization and cyclization and further dissociation on this second O2 addition were analyzed using enthalpies at the DFT level with energy corrections based on similar reaction channels for the first O2 addition. The high-pressure limit rate constants for each reaction channel were determined as functions of temperature by the canonical transition state theory for further kinetic model development.     

A mechanistic study of the 2-thienylmethyl + HO2 radical recombination reaction

Radical recombination reactions are important in the combustion of fuel oils. Shale oil contains alkylated heteroaromatic species, the simplest example of which is the 2-thienylmethyl radical. The ab initio potential energy surface for the reaction of the 2-thienylmethyl radical with the HO(2) radical has been examined. Seventeen product channels corresponding to either addition/elimination or direct hydrogen abstraction have been characterized for the first time. Direct hydrogen abstract from HO(2) proceeds via a weakly bound van der Waals complex, which leads to 2-methylthiophene, 2-methylene-2,3-dihydrothiophene, or 2-methylene-2,5-dihydrothiophene depending upon the 2-thienylmethyl radical reaction site. The addition pathway for the two radical reactants is barrierless with the formation of three adducts, as distinguished by HO(2) reaction at three different sites on the 2-thienylmethyl radical. The addition is exothermic by 37-55 kcal mol(-1) relative to the entrance channel, and these excess energies are available to promote further decomposition or rearrangement of the adducts, leading to nascent products such as H, OH, H(2)O, and CH(2)O. The reaction surfaces are characterized by relatively low barriers (most lower than 10 kcal mol(-1)). Upon the basis of a careful analysis of the overall barrier heights and reaction exothermicities, the formations of O(2), OH, and H(2)O are likely to be important pathways in the radical recombination reactions of 2-thienylmethyl + HO(2).     

Tetrazole derivatives XIX. Synthesis and properties of 1-(2-methyl-5-tetrazolyl)-3,5-diphenylformazan and a verdazyl radical

Benzaldehyde 2-methyl-5-tetrazolylhydrazone was synthesized and converted to a formazan, which undergoes methylation at the exocyclic nitrogen atom on reaction with dimethyl sulfate. The reaction product undergoes cyclization to the 1-(2-methyl-5-tetrazolyl)-3,5-diphenylleucoverdazyl radical when it is heated. Tautomerism due to location of the proton at the N(₂) or N₍₄₎ atom of the tetrazine ring is characteristic for the verdazyl radical, according to the PMR spectral data. A verdazyl radical was obtained by oxidation of the leucoverdazyl radical.See [1] for communication XVIII.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 991–995, July, 1978.     

Reaction of the radical pair NO2* and CO3*- with 2-[6-(4'-amino)phenoxy-3H-xanthen-3-on-9-yl]benzoic acid (APF)

The fluorogenic indicator 2-[6-(4'-amino)phenoxy-3H-xanthen-3-on-9-yl]benzoic acid (APF) is used widely to detect and measure reactive nitrogen and oxygen species such as peroxynitrite, ONOO-, both in vivo and in vitro. We present in this work the results of a combined computational and experimental study to provide insights into the mechanism of the reaction of APF with the radical products of ONOO- reaction with CO2, namely NO2* and CO3*-. The experimental study on the inhibition of APF oxidation by HCO3- suggests that a direct reaction of APF with nitrosoperoxycarbonate, ONOOCO2-, is unlikely. The mechanism of APF action on NO2* and CO3*- was investigated using gas-phase and solvent modeled calculations at the MPW1K/6-311+G(d)//MPW1K/6-31G(d) level of theory. Our computational results suggest that two-electron oxidation of APF takes place in two rapid one-electron oxidation steps, the first being a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) between APF and NO2*, followed by addition of CO3*- and subsequent decomposition of the adduct to yield fluorescein.     

Reaction mechanism between carbonyl oxide and hydroxyl radical: a theoretical study

The reaction mechanism of carbonyl oxide with hydroxyl radical was investigated by using CASSCF, B3LYP, QCISD, CASPT2, and CCSD(T) theoretical approaches with the 6-311+G(d,p), 6-311+G(2df, 2p), and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets. This reaction involves the formation of H2CO + HO2 radical in a process that is computed to be exothermic by 57 kcal/mol. However, the reaction mechanism is very complex and begins with the formation of a pre-reactive hydrogen-bonded complex and follows by the addition of HO radical to the carbon atom of H2COO, forming the intermediate peroxy-radical H2C(OO)OH before producing formaldehyde and hydroperoxy radical. Our calculations predict that both the pre-reactive hydrogen-bonded complex and the transition state of the addition process lie energetically below the enthalpy of the separate reactants (DeltaH(298K) = -6.1 and -2.5 kcal/mol, respectively) and the formation of the H2C(OO)OH adduct is exothermic by about 74 kcal/mol. Beyond this addition process, further reaction mechanisms have also been investigated, which involve the abstraction of a hydrogen of carbonyl oxide by HO radical, but the computed activation barriers suggest that they will not contribute to the gas-phase reaction of H2COO + HO.     

Reactivity of (eta(6)-arene)tricarbonylchromium complexes toward additions of anions, cations, and radicals.

A computational and experimental study of additions of electrophiles, nucleophiles, and radicals to tricarbonylchromium-complexed arenes is reported. Competition between addition to a complexed arene and addition to a noncomplexed arene was tested using 1,1-dideuterio-1-iodo-2-((phenyl)tricarbonylchromium)-2-phenylethane. Reactions under anionic and cationic conditions give exclusive formation of 1,1-dideuterio-1-((phenyl)tricarbonylchromium)-2-phenylethane arising from addition to the complexed arene. Radical conditions (SmI(2)) afford two isomeric products, reflecting a 2:1 preference for radical addition to the noncomplexed arene. In contrast, intermolecular radical addition competition experiments employing ketyl radical addition to benzene and (benzene)tricarbonylchromium show that addition to the complexed aromatic ring is faster than attack on the noncomplexed species by a factor of at least 100,000. Density functional theory calculations using the B3LYP method, employing a LANL2DZ basis set for geometry optimizations and a DZVP2+ basis set for energy calculations, for all three reactive intermediates showed that tricarbonylchromium stabilizes all three types of intermediates. The computational results for anionic addition agree well with established chemistry and provide structural and energetic details as reference points for comparison with the other reactive intermediates. Intermolecular radical addition leads to exclusive reaction on the complexed arene ring as predicted by the computations. The intramolecular radical reaction involves initial addition to the complexed arene ring followed by an equilibrium leading to the observed product distribution due to a high-energy barrier for homolytic cleavage of an exo bond in the intermediate cyclohexadienyl radical complex. Mechanisms are explored for electrophilic addition to complexed arenes. The calculations strongly favor a pathway in which the cation initially adds to the metal center rather than to the arene ring.     

Formal synthesis of (+/-)-platensimycin

A formal total synthesis of (+/-)-platensimycin [(+/-)-1] is reported involving an intramolecular Stetter reaction and a radical cyclization.     

Reaction of the i-C4H5 (CH2CCHCH2) radical with O2

The resonantly stabilized radical i-C(4)H(5) (CH(2)CCHCH(2)) is an important intermediate in the combustion of unsaturated hydrocarbons and is thought to be involved in the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons through its reaction with acetylene (C(2)H(2)) to form benzene + H. This study uses quantum chemistry and statistical reaction rate theory to investigate the mechanism and kinetics of the i-C(4)H(5) + O(2) reaction as a function of temperature and pressure, and unlike most resonantly stabilized radicals we show that i-C(4)H(5) is consumed relatively rapidly by its reaction with molecular oxygen. O(2) addition occurs at the vinylic and allenic radical sites in i-C(4)H(5), with respective barriers of 0.9 and 4.9 kcal mol(-1). Addition to the allenic radical form produces an allenemethylperoxy radical adduct with only around 20 kcal mol(-1) excess vibrational energy. This adduct can isomerize to the ca. 14 kcal mol(-1) more stable 1,3-divinyl-2-peroxy radical via concerted and stepwise processes, both steps with barriers around 10 kcal mol(-1) below the entrance channel energy. Addition of O(2) to the vinylic radical site in i-C(4)H(5) directly forms the 1,3-divinyl-2-peroxy radical with a small barrier and around 36.8 kcal mol(-1) of excess energy. The 1,3-divinyl-2-peroxy radical isomerizes via ipso addition of the O(2) moiety followed by O atom insertion into the adjacent C-C bond. This process forms an unstable intermediate that ultimately dissociates to give the vinyl radical, formaldehyde, and CO. At higher temperatures formation of vinylacetylene + HO(2), the vinoxyl radical + ketene, and the 1,3-divinyl-2-oxyl radical + O paths have some importance. Because of the adiabatic transition states for O(2) addition, and significant reverse dissociation channels in the peroxy radical adducts, the i-C(4)H(5) + O(2) reaction proceeds to new products with rate constant of around 10(11) cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1) at typical combustion temperatures (1000-2000 K). For fuel-rich flames we show that the reaction of i-C(4)H(5) with O(2) is likely to be faster than that with C(2)H(2), bringing into question the importance of the i-C(4)H(5) + C(2)H(2) reaction in initiating ring formation in sooting flames.     

Short Total Synthesis of Ajoene, (E,Z)-4,5,9-Trithiadodeca-1,6,11-triene 9-oxide,in Batch and (E,Z)-4,5,9-Trithiadodeca-1,7,11-triene in Continuous Flow

A short total synthesis of ajoene, (E,Z)-4,5,9-trithiadodeca-1,6,11-triene 9-oxide, has been achieved over six steps. In addition, a continuous flow synthesis under mild reaction conditions to (E,Z)-4,5,9-trithiadodeca-1,7,11-triene is described starting from simple and easily accessible starting materials.
