Preparation and Synthetic Application of Naproxen-Containing Diaryliodonium Salts

The synthesis of naproxen-containing diaryliodonium salts has been realized from naproxen methyl ester and ArI(OH)OTs activated by trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) in a solvent mixture comprising dichloromethane and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE). Those iodonium salts have been successfully used in the functionalization of an aromatic ring of naproxen methyl ester, including fluorination, iodination, alkynylation, arylation, thiophenolation, and amination and esterification reactions. Moreover, further hydrolysis of the obtained 5-iodo-naproxen methyl ester afforded 5-iodo-naproxen.     

Characterization of a titanium(IV)–porphyrin complex as a highly sensitive and selective reagent for the determination of hydrogen peroxide: a computational chemistry approach and a critical review

The Ti–TPyP reagent, i.e. an acidic aqueous solution of the oxo[5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrinato] titanium(IV) complex, TiO(tpyp), was developed as a highly sensitive and selective spectrophotometric reagent for determination of traces of hydrogen peroxide. Using this reagent, determination of hydrogen peroxide was performed by flow-injection analysis with a detection limit of 0.5 pmol per test. The method was actually applied to determination of several constituents of foods, human blood, and urine mediated by appropriate oxidase enzymes. The reaction specificity of the TiO(tpyp) complex for hydrogen peroxide was clarified from the viewpoint of the reaction mechanisms and molecular orbitals based on ab initio calculations. The results provided a well-grounded argument for determination of hydrogen peroxide using the Ti–TPyP reagent experimentally. This review deals with characterization of the high sensitivity and reaction specificity of the Ti–TPyP reagent for determination of hydrogen peroxide, to prove its reliability in analytical applications.

Biomimetic modeling of oxidative drug metabolism

The prediction of drug metabolism is an important task in drug development. Besides well-established in vitro and in vivo methods using biological matrices, several biomimetic models have been developed. This review summarizes three different nonenzymatic strategies, including metalloporphyrins as surrogates of the active centre of cytochrome P450, Fenton’s reagent, and the electrochemical oxidation of drug compounds. Although none of the systems can simulate the whole range of cytochrome P450-catalyzed reactions adequately, the biomimetic models show some advantages over standard in vitro methods. For example, metalloporpyhrin catalysts allow the synthesis of certain metabolites in sufficient amounts and with sufficient purities to permit characterization and further pharmacological and toxicological tests. The electrochemical generation of metabolites coupled on-line to liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry is a promising tool for studying reactive metabolites and can be applied in automated high-throughput screening approaches. In this paper, detailed comparisons with cytochrome P450 catalysis are drawn, advantages and disadvantages of the respective methods are revealed, and possible applications are discussed.     

Thermodynamic and kinetic properties of scandium (I) ion reacting with SCO in gas phase

Theoretical studies on the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the reactions of scandium (I) ion with the sulfur-transfer reagent SCO via the C-O bond activation pathway have been carried out over the temperature range of 200-1200 K using the DFT/B3LYP method, general statistical thermodynamics, and Eyring transition state theory with Wigner correction. The relevant reactions include reaction 1 ¹Sc⁺ + SCO → ¹IM1 → ¹TS1 → ¹IM2 (Step 1) → ¹TS2 → ¹IM3 → ¹ScO⁺ + ¹CS (Step 2), and reaction 2 ³Sc⁺ + SCO → ³IM1 → CP → ¹IM2 → ¹TS2 → ¹IM3 → ¹ScO⁺ +¹CS in which the spin multiplicity changes from the triplet state to the singlet state in the crossing region. It was concluded that the order of the equilibrium constants (K) and the reaction rate constants (k) are consistent with that of their corresponding exoergic energies, ΔE, and reaction barriers, respectively. Step 2 of reaction 1 is both thermodynamically and kinetically favored over the whole temperature range. Moreover, both Reaction 1 and reaction 2 are exothermic and spontaneous processes in which their entropy increases, and the magnitudes of their thermodynamic values all decrease with increasing temperature.      

Enantiomeric differentiation of oxygenated p-menthane derivatives by 13C NMR using Yb(hfc)3

The (13)C NMR behaviour of 21 p-menthanic terpene bearing an oxygenated function (alcohol, ketone, acetate) was examined in the presence of a chiral lanthanide shift reagent (Yb(hfc)(3)). For each monocyclic compound, we measured the lanthanide-induced shift (LIS) on the signals of the carbons and the splitting of signals allowing the enantiomeric differentiation. Some general features were found about their LIS behaviour: experimental data establishing distinct patterns for carvomenthone-like compounds and menthone-like compounds. The enantiomeric splitting was observed for the majority of signals in the spectrum of each compound. In the case of alcohols and acetates, the influence of the relative stereochemistry (cis vs trans) of isopropyl(ene) and the binding function was discussed.

Determination of thyroxine enantiomers in pharmaceutical formulation by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry with precolumn derivatization

A sensitive and specific liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) method for the separation and analysis of d- and l-thyroxine was developed using R(−)/S(+)-4-(3-isothiocyanatopyrrolidin-1-yl)-7-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole, [R(−)/S(+)-DBD-PyNCS] as a chiral derivatization reagents. The T₄ derivatives with R(−)-DBD-PyNCS were efficiently separated on a reversed-phase column with water-acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid (41:59, v/v) as the eluent and analyzed using ESI-MS with negative selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The calibration curves of both the d-T₄ and l-T₄ were linear over the concentration range of 0.13-13 μg/ml. The detection limits (S/N = 3) were 28 ng/ml for d-T₄ and 40 ng/ml for l-T₄, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSD, n = 5) were less than 3.6% at 1.3 μg/ml for both T₄ enantiomers. The proposed method was applied to the determination of l-T₄ enantiomer in a pharmaceutical formulation.
