Zeolite NaY-mediated oxidation of dyes with H2O2: unique heterogeneous non-transition metal center cleavage of H2O2 under visible light irradiation

This study investigated the visible-light catalysis mediated by zeolite NaY on the oxidation of dyes with H₂O₂. The results demonstrated that zeolite NaY acts as a sink for the electron from the photo-excited dye in the heterogeneous catalysis. Furthermore, the electron can effectively activate H₂O₂ to produce ^·OH radical that is a powerful oxidant for the oxidation of dye at room temperature. The effects of the framework topology, Si/Al ratio, and exchangeable cation of the zeolite on the oxidation of various dyes were also shown.     

Encoding method for OBOC small molecule libraries using a biphasic approach for ladder-synthesis of coding tags

In the "one-bead one-compound" (OBOC) combinatorial library method, each compound bead displays only one compound entity. Hundreds of thousands to millions of compound beads can be synthesized rapidly and screened simultaneously. Positive compound beads are then isolated for structural analysis. To fully exploit the power of OBOC combinatorial small molecule libraries, a robust and high throughput encoding method is needed to decode the positive compound beads. In this paper, we report on the development of a novel encoding strategy that combines the concepts of ladder-synthesis and chemical encoding on bilayer beads. In these encoded libraries, small molecule compounds are displayed on the bead surface, and cleavable coding tags consisting of a series of truncated molecules reside in the bead interior. Such a library can be easily constructed using the biphasic approach (J. Am. Chem. Soc.2002, 124, 7678) to topologically segregate the functionalities of the beads during library synthesis. The ladder members and coding tags are then released for MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. To simplify the interpretation of the mass spectra, we purposely add bromine into the cleavable linker so that the cleavage products generate a characteristic isotope fingerprint. The chemical structure of library compounds can be determined by analyzing the mass differences between adjacent peaks on the mass spectra. This encoding strategy also provides valuable information on the quality of the testing compound on the surface of the bead. To validate this methodology, a model OBOC small molecule library with 12,288 members was synthesized on TentaGel beads and screened against streptavidin. The chemical structures of the compound on each positive bead were unambiguously identified.     

Remote substituent effects on bond dissociation energies of para-substituted aromatic silanes

UB3LYP/6-31G(d) and ROMP2/6-311++G(d,2p) methods were used to calculate the Si-X bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of a number of para-substituted aromatic silanes (4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(2)X, where X = H, F, Cl, or Li). It was found that the substituent effect on the Si-H BDE of 4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(3) was small, as the slope (rho(+)()) of the BDE- regression was only 0.09 kJ/mol. In comparison, the substituent effect on the Si-F BDE of 4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(2)F was much stronger, whose rho(+ )()value was -2.34 kJ/mol. The substituent effect on the Si-Cl BDE of 4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(2)Cl was also found to be strong with a rho(+)() value of -1.70 kJ/mol. However, the substituent effect on the Si-Li BDE of 4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(2)Li was found to have a large and positive slope (+9.12 kJ/mol) against. The origin of the above remarkably different substituent effects on the Si-X BDEs was found to be associated with the ability of the substituent to stabilize or destabilize the starting material (4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(2)X) as well as the product (4-Y-C(6)H(4)-SiH(2)* radical) of the homolysis. Therefore, the direction and magnitude of the effects of Y-substituents on the Z-X BDEs in compounds such as 4-YC(6)H(4)Z-X should have some important dependence on the polarity of the Z-X bond undergoing homolysis. This conclusion was in agreement with that from earlier studies (for example, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1991, 113, 9363). However, it indicated that the proposal from a recent work (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 5518) was unfortunately not justified.     

Enantioselective oxidation of sulfides with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by vanadium complex of sterically hindered chiral Schiff bases

Sterically hindered chiral Schiff base ligands 4a-d were prepared from an aldehyde derived from BINOL. The vanadium complexes of the ligands catalyze an efficient, enantioselective H₂O₂-promoted sulfoxidation of alkyl aryl sulfides, and enantioselectivities as high as 98-99% ee are observed in the sulfoxidation of benzyl aryl sulfides.
