Experimental lineage and functional analysis of a remotely directed peptide epoxidation catalyst.

ABSTRACT: We describe mechanistic investigations of a catalyst (1) that leads to selective epoxidation of farnesol at the 6,7-position, remote from the hydroxyl directing group. The experimental lineage of peptide 1 and a number of resin-bound peptide analogues were examined to reveal the importance of four N-terminal residues. We examined the selectivity of truncated analogues to find that a trimer is sufficient to furnish the remote selectivity. Both 1D and 2D (1)H NMR studies were used to determine possible catalyst conformations, culminating in proposed models showing possible interactions of farnesol with a protected Thr side chain and backbone NH. The models were used to rationalize the selectivity of a modified catalyst (17) for the 6,7-position relative to an ether moiety in two related substrates.

Project description:The catalytic performance with high conversion and high selectivity of Ti-based oxide catalysts have been widely investigated. Besides, stability, which is an essential parameter in the industrial process, lacked fundamental understanding. In this work, we combined computational and experimental techniques to provide insight into the deactivation of P25 and TS-1 Ti-based oxide catalysts during the methyl oleate (MO) epoxidation. The considered deactivation mechanisms are fouling and surface oxygen vacancy (OV). The fouling causes temporary catalyst deactivation through active site blockage but can be removed via calcination in air at high temperature. However, in this work, the OV formation plays an important role in the overall performance of the spent catalyst as the deactivated catalyst after regeneration, cannot be restored to the initial activity. Also, the effects of OV in spent catalysts caused (i) the formation of more Ti3+ species on the surface as evident by XPS and Bader charge analysis, (ii) the activity modification of the active region on the catalyst surface as the reduction in energy gap (Eg) occurred from the formation of the interstates observed in the density of states profiles of spent catalyst modeled by the O-vacant P25 and TS-1 models. This reduction in Eg affects directly the strength of Ti-OOH active site and MO bonding, in which high binding energy contributes to a low conversion because the MO needed an O atom from Ti-OOH site to form the methyl-9,10-epoxy stearate. Hence, the deactivation of the Ti-based oxide catalysts is caused not only by the insoluble by-products blocking the active region but also mainly from the OV. Note that the design of reactive and stable Ti-based oxide catalysts for MO epoxidation needed strategies to prevent OV formation that permanently deactivated the active region. Thus, the interrelation and magnitude between fouling and OV formation on catalyst deactivation will be investigated in future works.
