Nucleophilic trapping nitrilimine generated by photolysis of diaryltetrazole in aqueous phase.

ABSTRACT: Nitrilimine generated by photolysis of diaryltetrazole in aqueous phase under mild conditions was trapped by nucleophiles including amines and thioalcohols. The representative products were characterized, while products with all 20 natural amino acids and a peptide were observed by MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy. Competitive studies showed that this reaction also occurred in the presence of acrylamide. These results provided new information for understanding the potential side reactions when tetrazole-alkene pairs were used as a bioorthogonal reaction in labeling proteins and related studies in buffered systems.

Functionally diverse nucleophilic trapping of iminium intermediates generated utilizing visible light.

Project description:Our previous studies into visible-light-mediated aza-Henry reactions demonstrated that molecular oxygen played a vital role in catalyst turnover as well as the production of base to facilitate the nucleophilic addition of nitroalkanes. Herein, improved conditions for the generation of iminium ions from tetrahydroisoquinolines that allow for versatile nucleophilic trapping are reported. The new conditions provide access to a diverse range of functionality under mild, anaerobic reaction conditions as well as mechanistic insights into the photoredox cycle.

Bioactive Rearrangement Products from Aqueous Photolysis of Pharmaceutical Steroids.

Project description:In an ongoing effort to study the environmental fate of endocrine-active steroid hormones, we report the formation of phenolic rearrangement products (3 and 4) with a novel 6,5,8,5-ring system following aqueous photolysis of dienogest (1) and methyldienolone (2). The structures were established by analysis of 2D NMR and HRMS data, and that of 3 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. These photoproducts exhibit progestogenic and androgenic activity, albeit with less potency than their parent compounds.

Chemical trapping and characterization of small oxoacids of sulfur (SOS) generated in aqueous oxidations of H<sub>2</sub>S.

Project description:Small oxoacids of sulfur (SOS) are elusive molecules like sulfenic acid, HSOH, and sulfinic acid, HS(O)OH, generated during the oxidation of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, in aqueous solution. Unlike their alkyl homologs, there is a little data on their generation and speciation during H2S oxidation. These SOS may exhibit both nucleophilic and electrophilic reactivity, which we attribute to interconversion between S(II) and S(IV) tautomers. We find that SOS may be trapped in situ by derivatization with nucleophilic and electrophilic trapping agents and then characterized by high resolution LC MS. In this report, we compare SOS formation from H2S oxidation by a variety of biologically relevant oxidants. These SOS appear relatively long lived in aqueous solution, and thus may be involved in the observed physiological effects of H2S.

Sulfonamide-Trapping Reactions of Thermally Generated Benzynes.

Project description:Reactions of tethered, tertiary sulfonamides with thermally generated benzynes are reported. Typically, the N-S bonds in the substrates cleave, and saturated heterocycles [tetrahydroquinolines ( n = 2) and indolines ( n = 1)] are formed. The process is accompanied by either sulfonyl transfer or desulfonylation from a zwitterionic intermediate, with the favored pathway being largely dependent upon the size (5- vs 6-membered) of the N-containing ring in the zwitterion.

Mechanistic Insight into the Degradation of Nitrosamines via Aqueous-Phase UV Photolysis or a UV-Based Advanced Oxidation Process: Quantum Mechanical Calculations.

Project description:Nitrosamines are a group of carcinogenic chemicals that are present in aquatic environments that result from byproducts of industrial processes and disinfection products. As indirect and direct potable reuse increase, the presence of trace nitrosamines presents challenges to water infrastructures that incorporate effluent from wastewater treatment. Ultraviolet (UV) photolysis or UV-based advanced oxidation processes that produce highly reactive hydroxyl radicals are promising technologies to remove nitrosamines from water. However, complex reaction mechanisms involving radicals limit our understandings of the elementary reaction pathways embedded in the overall reactions identified experimentally. In this study, we perform quantum mechanical calculations to identify the hydroxyl radical-induced initial elementary reactions with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), N-nitrosomethylethylamine, and N-nitrosomethylbutylamine. We also investigate the UV-induced NDMA degradation mechanisms. Our calculations reveal that the alkyl side chains of nitrosamine affect the reaction mechanism of hydroxyl radicals with each nitrosamine investigated in this study. Nitrosamines with one- or two-carbon alkyl chains caused the delocalization of the electron density, leading to slower subsequent degradation. Additionally, three major initial elementary reactions and the subsequent radical-involved reaction pathways are identified in the UV-induced NDMA degradation process. This study provides mechanistic insight into the elementary reaction pathways, and a future study will combine these results with the kinetic information to predict the time-dependent concentration profiles of nitrosamines and their transformation products.

Investigation into the Direct Photolysis Process of Photo-Induced RAFT Polymerization by ESR Spin Trapping.

Project description:The direct photolysis of reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents under visible light was demonstrated by electron spin resonance (ESR) using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide as a typical spin trap. The hyperfine coupling lines obtained by ESR spectroscopy showed the successful capture of the carbon-centered and the sulfur-centered radical. Photo-polymerization of vinyl acetate under different wavelengths was performed to verify the effects of wavelength on the process. The effect of the R group of RAFT agents on the photolysis was investigated by spin-trapping experiments using poly (butyl acrylate) and poly (vinyl acetate) as macroRAFT agents. The quantitative experiment showed the yield of photolysis of a xanthate to be only 0.023% under ? > 440 nm.

Self-Emergent Protocells Generated in an Aqueous Solution with Binary Macromolecules through Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation.

Project description:Recently, liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has attracted considerable attention among researchers in the life sciences as a plausible mechanism for the generation of microstructures inside cells. LLPS occurs through multiple nonspecific interactions and does not always require a lock-and-key interaction with a binary macromolecular solution. The remarkable features of LLPS include the non-uniform localization and concentration of solutes, resulting in the ability to isolate certain chemical systems and thereby parallelize multiple chemical reactions within the limited space of a living cell. We report that, by using the macromolecules, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and dextran, that exhibit LLPS in an aqueous solution, cell-sized liposomes are spontaneously formed therein in the presence of phospholipids. In this system, LLPS is generated through the depletion effect of macromolecules. The results showed that cell-like microdroplets entrapping DNA wrapped by a phospholipid layer emerge in a self-organized manner.

Ultraviolet photolysis of 1,2-dimethyldisilane in the gas phase.

Project description:The formation of MeSiH is the primary process in the photolysis of 1,2-dimethyldisilane at 193 nm that are analogues of carbenes. Gas chromatographic technique was used with a flame ionization detector as an analysis tool to identify the products mixture. The photolysis light at 193 nm was provided by an Oxford KX2 pulsed laser operated with rare-gas halide (known as an excimer laser) as the gain medium to provide ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This work has confirmed that radical processes are not important in the photolysis of 1,2-dimethyldisilane. A method for the determination of rate constants for MeSiH reactions relative to the rate constants of 1,2-dimethyldisilane has been formulated. This has been used to determine some relative rate constants of MeSiH insertions with methylsilanes. The insertion reactions of MeSiH with SiH4 and Methysilanes have shown to be fast and closer in reactivity to SiH2 than to SiMe2, whereas PhSiH looks to be slightly more reactive than MeSiH.

Paul trapping of charged particles in aqueous solution.

Project description:We experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of an aqueous Paul trap using a proof-of-principle planar device. Radio frequency voltages are used to generate an alternating focusing/defocusing potential well in two orthogonal directions. Individual charged particles are dynamically confined into nanometer scale in space. Compared with conventional Paul traps working in frictionless vacuum, the aqueous environment associated with damping forces and thermally induced fluctuations (Brownian noise) exerts a fundamental influence on the underlying physics. We investigate the impact of these two effects on the confining dynamics, with the aim to reduce the rms value of the positional fluctuations. We find that the rms fluctuations can be modulated by adjusting the voltages and frequencies. This technique provides an alternative for the localization and control of charged particles in an aqueous environment.
