A simple base-mediated halogenation of acidic sp2 C-H bonds under noncryogenic conditions.

ABSTRACT: A new method has been developed for in situ halogenation of acidic sp(2) carbon-hydrogen bonds in heterocycles and electron-deficient arenes. Either selective monohalogenation or one-step exhaustive polyhalogenation is possible for substrates possessing several C-H bonds that are flanked by electron-withdrawing groups. For the most acidic arenes, such as pentafluorobenzene, K(3)PO(4) base can be employed instead of BuLi for metalation/halogenation sequences.

Non-Heme-Iron-Mediated Selective Halogenation of Unactivated Carbon-Hydrogen Bonds.

Project description:Oxidation of the iron(II) precursor [(L1 )FeII Cl2 ], where L1 is a tetradentate bispidine, with soluble iodosylbenzene (s PhIO) leads to the extremely reactive ferryl oxidant [(L1 )(Cl)FeIV =O]+ with a cis disposition of the chlorido and oxido coligands, as observed in non-heme halogenase enzymes. Experimental data indicate that, with cyclohexane as substrate, there is selective formation of chlorocyclohexane, the halogenation being initiated by C-H abstraction and the result of a rebound of the ensuing radical to an iron-bound Cl- . The time-resolved formation of the halogenation product indicates that this primarily results from s PhIO oxidation of an initially formed oxido-bridged diiron(III) resting state. The high yield of up to >70 % (stoichiometric reaction) as well as the differing reactivities of free Fe2+ and Fe3+ in comparison with [(L1 )FeII Cl2 ] indicate a high complex stability of the bispidine-iron complexes. DFT analysis shows that, due to a large driving force and small triplet-quintet gap, [(L1 )(Cl)FeIV =O]+ is the most reactive small-molecule halogenase model, that the FeIII /radical rebound intermediate has a relatively long lifetime (as supported by experimentally observed cage escape), and that this intermediate has, as observed experimentally, a lower energy barrier to the halogenation than the hydroxylation product; this is shown to primarily be due to steric effects.

Microbial mediated formation of Fe-carbonate minerals under extreme acidic conditions.

Project description:Discovery of Fe-carbonate precipitation in Rio Tinto, a shallow river with very acidic waters, situated in Huelva, South-western Spain, adds a new dimension to our understanding of carbonate formation. Sediment samples from this low-pH system indicate that carbonates are formed in physico-chemical conditions ranging from acid to neutral pH. Evidence for microbial mediation is observed in secondary electron images (Fig. 1), which reveal rod-shaped bacteria embedded in the surface of siderite nanocrystals. The formation of carbonates in Rio Tinto is related to the microbial reduction of ferric iron coupled to the oxidation of organic compounds. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time, that Acidiphilium sp. PM, an iron-reducing bacterium isolated from Rio Tinto, mediates the precipitation of siderite (FeCO3) under acidic conditions and at a low temperature (30°C). We describe nucleation of siderite on nanoglobules in intimate association with the bacteria cell surface. This study has major implications for understanding carbonate formation on the ancient Earth or extraterrestrial planets.

Gene Expressions for Signal Transduction under Acidic Conditions.

Project description:Although it is now well known that some diseased areas, such as cancer nests, inflammation loci, and infarction areas, are acidified, little is known about cellular signal transduction, gene expression, and cellular functions under acidic conditions. Our group showed that different signal proteins were activated under acidic conditions compared with those observed in a typical medium of around pH 7.4 that has been used until now. Investigations of gene expression under acidic conditions may be crucial to our understanding of signal transduction in acidic diseased areas. In this study, we investigated gene expression in mesothelioma cells cultured at an acidic pH using a DNA microarray technique. After 24 h culture at pH 6.7, expressions of 379 genes were increased more than twofold compared with those in cells cultured at pH 7.5. Genes encoding receptors, signal proteins including transcription factors, and cytokines including growth factors numbered 35, 32, and 17 among the 379 genes, respectively. Since the functions of 78 genes are unknown, it can be argued that cells may have other genes for signaling under acidic conditions. The expressions of 37 of the 379 genes were observed to increase after as little as 2 h. After 24 h culture at pH 6.7, expressions of 412 genes were repressed more than twofold compared with those in cells cultured at pH 7.5, and the 412 genes contained 35, 76, and 7 genes encoding receptors, signal proteins including transcription factors, and cytokines including growth factors, respectively. These results suggest that the signal pathways in acidic diseased areas are different, at least in part, from those examined with cells cultured at a pH of around 7.4.

Uranium transport in acidic brines under reducing conditions.

Project description:The behavior of uranium in environments, ranging from those of natural systems responsible for the formation of uranium deposits to those of nuclear reactors providing 11% of the world's electricity, is governed by processes involving high-temperature aqueous solutions. It has been well documented that uranium is mobile in aqueous solutions in its oxidized, U6+ state, whereas in its reduced, U4+ state, uranium has been assumed to be immobile. Here, we present experimental evidence from high temperature (>100?°C) acidic brines that invalidates this assumption. Our experiments have identified a new uranium chloride species (UCl4°) that is more stable under reducing than oxidized conditions. These results indicate that uranium is mobile under reducing conditions and necessitate a re-evaluation of the mobility of uranium, particularly in ore deposit models involving this metal. Regardless of the scenario considered, reducing conditions can no longer be considered a guarantee of uranium immobility.

Dealkenylative Thiylation of C(sp3)-C(sp2) Bonds.

Project description:Carbon-carbon bond fragmentations are useful methods for the functionalization of molecules. The value of such cleavage events is maximized when paired with subsequent bond formation. Herein we report a protocol for the cleavage of an alkene C(sp3)-C(sp2) bond, followed by the formation of a new C(sp3)-S bond. This reaction is performed in nonanhydrous solvent and open to the air, employs common starting materials, and can be used to rapidly diversify natural products.

Hypervalent Iodine(III)-Promoted C3-H Regioselective Halogenation of 4-Quinolones under Mild Conditions.

Project description:A simple and practical protocol for the C3-H regioselective halogenation of 4-quinolones by the action of potassium halide salt and PIFA/PIDA in good to excellent yields was developed. The current approach provides feasible access to the diversity of C3-halgenated 4-quinolones at room temperature with high regioselectivity and good functional group tolerance, from which bioactive compounds can be easily constructed. Moreover, the current method featured eco-friendly, operational convenience and is suitable for halogenation in a gram scale of 4-quinolones in water without sacrificing yields.

Helicobacter pylori is killed by nitrite under acidic conditions.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Due to the expression of urease, Helicobacter pylori is able to establish itself in the human stomach under acidic conditions. A novel host defence mechanism was recently proposed, suggesting that the formation of salivary nitrite in symbiosis with facultative anaerobic bacteria in the oropharynx, is aimed at enhancing the antimicrobial activity of gastric juice. AIMS: To investigate whether the addition of nitrite in physiological concentrations influences the resistance of H pylori to acid. METHODS: H pylori cultured from fresh gastric Biopsy specimens was exposed for 30 minutes to normal saline and to HCl/KCl buffer (0.2M) at pH 2 with urea (5 mM) added. The influence of potassium nitrite (50-1000 mumol/l) on bacterial survival was determined. RESULTS: Addition of nitrite (1 mM) to acidic solutions (pH 2) resulted in complete kill of H pylori within 30 minutes exposure time whereas acid alone allowed the organism to survive (p < 0.001). The antimicrobial effect of nitrite at pH 2 against H pylori was dose dependent and complete kill of organisms occurred at concentrations > or = 500 mumol/l. CONCLUSION: Acidified nitrite has anti-bacterial activity against H pylori. This should prompt further research into the effect of salivary nitrite on the survival of H pylori in the human stomach.

Understanding E2 versus SN2 Competition under Acidic and Basic Conditions.

Project description:Our purpose is to understand the mechanism through which pH affects the competition between base-induced elimination and substitution. To this end, we have quantum chemically investigated the competition between elimination and substitution pathways in H2O+C2H5OH2 (+) and OH(-)+C2H5OH, that is, two related model systems that represent, in a generic manner, the same reaction under acidic and basic conditions, respectively. We find that substitution is favored in the acidic case while elimination prevails under basic conditions. Activation-strain analyses of the reaction profiles reveal that the switch in preferred reactivity from substitution to elimination, if one goes from acidic to basic catalysis, is related to (1)?the higher basicity of the deprotonated base, and (2)?the change in character of the substrates LUMO from C(?)-H bonding in C2H5OH2 (+) to C(?)-H antibonding in C2H5OH.
