Alkane oxygenation with H2O2 catalysed by FeCl3 and 2,2′-bipyridine

The H₂O₂-FeCl₃-bipy system in acetonitrile efficiently oxidises alkanes predominantly to alkyl hydroperoxides. Turnover numbers attain 400 after 1 h at 60 °C. It has been assumed that bipy facilitates proton abstraction from a H₂O₂ molecule coordinated to the iron ion (these reactions are stages in the catalytic cycle generating hydroxyl radicals from the hydrogen peroxide). Hydroxyl radicals then attack alkane molecules finally yielding the alkyl hydroperoxide.     

Substituent effects on the kinetics for the chemiluminescence reaction of 6-arylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-ones (Cypridina luciferin analogues): support for the single electron transfer (SET)-oxygenation mechanism with triplet molecular oxygen

Kinetics of chemiluminescence reactions of 2-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-one (1c, Cypridina luciferin analogue) and substituent effects of the 6-aryl group of derivatives 1 strongly suggest that the rate-determining step is a single electron transfer from an anion derived from 1 to a triplet molecular oxygen (O₂) in the oxygenation process.

Catalytic oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds with hydrogen peroxide using dinuclear iron complexes

Oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols has been studied in the presence of [Fe(ind)Cl]₂O (1) and [Fe₂(OMe)₂(PAP)Cl₄] (2) (indH = 1,3-bis(2′-pyridylimino)isoindoline; PAP = 1,4-di(2′-pyridyl)aminophthalazine) as catalysts using hydrogen peroxide as primary oxidant. The complexes were found to be suitable catalysts for the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds in acetone as solvent. The reactivity of the alcohols is in the order primary < secondary < cyclic secondary < aromatic. The reaction mechanism in the case of 1 probable involves an iron-based oxidant, while in the case of 2 a free-radical mechanism is suggested.

EPR Spectroscopic Studies of Lipoxygenases

Polyunsaturated fatty acids are sources of diverse natural, and chemically designed products. The enzyme lipoxygenase selectively oxidizes fatty acid acyl chains using controlled free radical chemistry; the products are regio‐ and stereo‐chemically unique hydroperoxides. A conserved structural fold of ≈600 amino acids harbors a long and narrow substrate channel and a well‐shielded catalytic iron. Oxygen, a co‐substrate, is blocked from the active site until a hydrogen atom is abstracted from substrate bis‐allylic carbon, in a non‐heme iron redox cycle. EPR spectroscopy of ferric intermediates in lipoxygenase catalysis reveals changes in the metal coordination and leads to a proposal on the nature of the reactive intermediate. Remarkably, free radicals are so well controlled in lipoxygenase chemistry that spin label technology can be applied as well. The current level of understanding of steps in lipoxygenase catalysis, from the EPR perspective, will be reviewed.     

Benzyltributylammonium periodate as a novel and safe oxygen source for Mn-porphyrin catalyzed practical and highly selective oxygenation of hydrocarbons

Benzyltributylammonium periodate (BzBu₃NIO₄) was prepared easily in high yield in neat water. The compound crystallized with two cations and two anions per asymmetric unit and a space group of Pna2₁ was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It was used practically in the clean and selective epoxidation of olefins and oxygenation of saturated hydrocarbons catalyzed by manganese (III) porphyrins in water/ethanol as a green media. The catalyst could be reused without noticeable loss of activity, and the oxidant’s by-product (BzBu₃NIO₃) could also be reused. The efficiency of the oxidation system depends critically upon the steric hindrances and electronic structures of both the nitrogen donors and Mn-catalysts. Some evidences suggest the involvement of a high valent Mn-oxo species as well as a six-coordinate [(L)(Por)Mn-OIO₃] complex in the oxidation reactions.     

Synthesis of β-hydroxyphosphonates by iron-catalyzed oxidative addition of phosphonyl radicals to alkenes

Phosphorohydrazidates have been shown to work as radical precursors by iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidation to generate corresponding phosphonyl radicals. Generated radicals cause intermolecular addition to various alkenes in the presence of molecular oxygen to give β-hydroxyphosphonate compounds in good yield.     

钴(Ⅱ)-氨基酸配合物催化性能与氧合性能的关系

研究了13种钴(Ⅱ)-氨基酸配合物的可逆氧合性能和催化性能之间的关系,通过配合物活化分子氧(O2)氧化环己烯考察其催化性能.结果表明,13种钴(Ⅱ)-氨基酸配合物均具有不同程度的可逆氧合性能和催化活性.配合物完成一个可逆吸氧周期的用时越短,其可逆氧合性能越好,催化性能越差;相反,吸氧周期长及可逆氧合性能差的配合物其催化性能却更好.另外,在对配合物不同配比的研究中发现,Co(Ⅱ)与氨基酸的摩尔比为1∶3(或1∶2)饱和配位时,可逆吸氧性能较好,但其催化性能较差,环己烯转化率较低;在1∶1型配位不饱和时,吸氧的可逆性较差,但催化性能优良,环己烯的转化率可达82.5%.结合结构分析和理论计算的结果可知,不同钴(Ⅱ)-氨基酸配合物的氧合可逆性和催化性能的差异,主要归因于氨基酸配体的残基与Co(Ⅱ)的结合能力的不同.氨基酸配体的残基与Co(Ⅱ)的结合能力越好,越有利于配合物由高自旋态向低自旋态转化,并与O2可逆结合,不利于烯烃基的取代,配合物表现出较差的催化性能,反之亦然.     

Solvent free mechanochemical oxygenation of fullerene under oxygen atmosphere

Oxygenation of fullerene took place under mechanical stressing by a simple vibration mill in an oxygen atmosphere at 1 atm. Milled products were mixtures of poly-oxidized fullerene, C₆₀O_n, containing C-O-C and CO bonds. We observed a concurrent reaction as well, that is, polymerization of C₆₀ and C₆₀O. The average number of oxygen, n, of the overall products obtained by milling for 5 h was 8.6 per molecule of C₆₀. We confirmed generation of singlet oxygen during the present mechanochemical reaction by an ESR spin trapping method. Trapping of ¹O₂ was completely inhibited the oxygenation of fullerene. Formation of ¹O₂ is attributed to the energy transfer from mechanically excited state of fullerene and plays a decisive role on the present oxygenation of fullerene under mechanical stressing in O₂. In contrast, no ¹O₂ was observed by mechanically stressing the conventional photo-sensitizer, rosebengal. The difference in the behavior of C₆₀ and rosebengal is interpreted in terms of molecular deformation, being much easier for a 3D molecule, C₆₀, than a planar molecule, in line with the concept of inverse Jahn-Teller effects.
