Formation and Inhibition of Lipid Alkyl Radicals in Roasted Meat.

ABSTRACT: Free radicals are ubiquitous in roasted foods. In this work, lipid-derived carbon-centered alkyl radical formation was first studied in roasted meat by electron spin resonance (ESR). The influence of antioxidants on the inhibition of free radicals was investigated. The results showed that the high temperature, high heat transfer rate, and high polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content resulted in high radical content in roasted meat, while the high water content in meat retarded radical formation. The 0.03% addition of tea polyphenols (TPP) significantly reduced radical formation during roasting (p < 0.05), whereas the 0.03% rosemary extract (RE) had no significant inhibitory effect (p > 0.05). These results suggested that water retention and the addition of TPP would decrease radical generation during the roasting of meat.

Methyl Substitution Destabilizes Alkyl Radicals.

Project description:We have quantum chemically investigated how methyl substituents affect the stability of alkyl radicals Mem H3-m C⋅ and the corresponding Mem H3-m C-X bonds (X = H, CH3 , OH; m = 0 - 3) using density functional theory at M06-2X/TZ2P. The state-of-the-art in physical organic chemistry is that alkyl radicals are stabilized upon an increase in their degree of substitution from methyl<primary<secondary<tertiary, and that this is the underlying cause for the decrease in C-H bond strength along this series. Here, we provide evidence that falsifies this model and show that, on the contrary, the Mem H3-m C⋅ radical is destabilized with increasing substitution. The reason that the corresponding C-H bond nevertheless becomes weaker is that substitution destabilizes the sterically more congested Mem H3-m C-H molecule even more.

Generation of non-stabilized alkyl radicals from thianthrenium salts for C-B and C-C bond formation.

Project description:Sulfonium salts bearing a positively charged sulfur atom with three organic substituents have intrigued chemists for more than a century for their unusual structures and high chemical reactivity. These compounds are known to undergo facile single-electron reduction to emerge as a valuable and alternative source of aryl radicals for organic synthesis. However, the generation of non-stabilized alkyl radicals from sulfonium salts has been a challenge for several decades. Here we report the treatment of S-(alkyl) thianthrenium salts to generate non-stabilized alkyl radicals as key intermediates granting the controlled and selective outcome of the ensuing reactions under mild photoredox conditions. The value of these reagents has been demonstrated through the efficient construction of alkylboronates and other transformations, including heteroarylation, alkylation, alkenylation, and alkynylation. The developed method is practical, and provides the opportunity to convert C-OH bond to C-B and C-C bonds.

Inhibition of the iron-catalysed formation of hydroxyl radicals from superoxide and of lipid peroxidation by desferrioxamine.

Project description:The peroxidation of membrane phospholipids induced in vitro by ascorbic acid or by dialuric acid (hydroxybarbituric acid) does not occur in the absence of traces of metal ions. Peroxidation induced by adding iron salts to phospholipids can either be promoted or inhibited by the chelators EDTA, diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid and bathophenanthrolinesulphonate, depending on the ratio [chelator]/[iron salt]. The iron chelator desferrioxamine inhibits peroxidation at all concentrations tested, and it also inhibits the iron-catalysed formation of hydroxyl radicals (OH.) from superoxide (O2-.). Since desferrioxamine is approved for clinical use, it might prove a valuable tool in the treatment of inflammation, poisoning by autoxidizable molecules and radiation damage.

Photoenzymatic Generation of Unstabilized Alkyl Radicals: An Asymmetric Reductive Cyclization.

Project description:Flavin-dependent "ene"-reductases can generate stabilized alkyl radicals when irradiated with visible light; however, they are not known to form unstabilized radicals. Here, we report an enantioselective radical cyclization using alkyl iodides as precursors to unstabilized nucleophilic radicals. Evidence suggests this species is accessed by photoexcitation of a charge-transfer complex that forms between flavin and substrate within the protein active site. Stereoselective delivery of a hydrogen atom from the flavin semiquinone to the prochiral radical formed after cyclization provides high levels of enantioselectivity across a variety of substrates. Overall, this transformation demonstrates that photoenzymatic catalysis can address long-standing selectivity challenges in the radical literature.

A Theoretical Kinetic Study on Concerted Elimination Reaction Class of Peroxyl-hydroperoxyl-alkyl Radicals (•OOQOOH) in Normal-alkyl Cyclohexanes.

Project description:The concerted elimination reaction class of peroxyl-hydroperoxyl alkyl radicals (•OOQOOH) plays a crucial role in the low-temperature combustion of normal-alkyl cyclohexanes. The generation of the relatively unreactive HO2 radicals in this reaction is one of the factors leading to the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behavior, which hinders the low-temperature oxidation of normal-alkyl cyclohexanes. In this study, 44 reactions are selected and divided into 4 different subclasses according to the nature of the carbon atom where the H atom is eliminated and the reaction center position. Utilizing the CBS-QB3 method, we compute the energy barriers for the concerted elimination reactions of peroxyl-hydroperoxyl alkyl radicals. Following this, we assess both the high-pressure limit and pressure-dependent rate constants for all reactions by applying TST and RRKM/ME theory. These calculations allow for the development of rate rules, which come to fruition through an averaging process involving the rate constants of representative reactions within each subclass. Our work provides accurate rate constants and rate rules for this reaction class, which can aid in constructing more accurate combustion mechanisms for normal-alkyl cyclohexanes.

Photoinduced formation of persistent free radicals, hydrogen radicals, and hydroxyl radicals from catechol on atmospheric particulate matter.

Project description:Catechol is speculated to be a potential precursor of environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) in the atmosphere. EPFRs absorbed on PM2.5 have attracted public attention because their toxicity is similar to cigarette smoke. In this study, we found that catechol could produce EPFRs, which were oxygen-centered phenoxy and semiquinone radicals. These free radical species had half-lives of up to 382 days. CaO, CuO, and Fe2O3 markedly promoted EPFR formation from catechol. The valence states of Cu and Fe changed during the photochemical reactions of catechol but no valence state changed for Ca. Alkaline nature of CaO is possibly the key for promoting the free radical formations through acid-base reactions with catechol. In addition to hydroxyl free radicals, hydrogen free radicals and superoxide anions formed from the photochemical reactions of catechol were first discovered. This is of concern because of the adverse effects of these free radicals on human health.

The mutagenic mechanism of oxygenated alkylhydrazones occurs through alkyl radicals and alkyldiazonium ions.

Project description:Acetone alkylhydrazones have been reported to be mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 after exposure to oxygen, and the corresponding 2-alkylazo-2-propyl hydroperoxides are formed by autoxidation as a result. The aims of this study were to investigate the mutagenic mechanisms of a methyl analogue, 2-methylazo-2-propyl hydroperoxide (MAPH), by comparing the mutagenic potency of specific Salmonella strains, detecting the DNA adducts that cause mutagenicity, and observing the hydroxyl radical and methyl radical with the electron spin resonance (ESR) spin-trapping method. MAPH showed stronger mutagenicity in both Salmonella typhimurium YG3001, a strain sensitive to hydroxyl radicals, and Salmonella typhimurium YG7108, a strain sensitive to alkylating agents, than the original Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 strain. Moreover, MAPH resulted in the formation of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and O6-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine in a reaction with DNA. These results showed that the mutagenicity of hydrazones was ascribed to the generation of reactive species by autoxidation, namely that of the alkyldiazonium ion and also the hydroxyl radical.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Roasted Pork Meat and the Effect of Dried Fruits on PAH Content.

Project description:Diet is one of the main factors affecting human health. The frequent consumption of heat-treated meat has been classified as both directly carcinogenic to humans and as a risk factor, especially in the case of cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. Thermally processed meat may contain harmful muta- and carcinogenic compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, there are natural ways to reduce the risk of diet-related cancers by reducing the formation of PAHs in meat. The purpose of this study was to determine changes in PAH levels in pork loin dishes prepared by stuffing the meat with dried fruits (prunes, apricots and cranberries) and baking it in a roasting bag. High-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) was used to conduct a quantitative analysis of seven PAHs. Recovery results ranged from 61 to 96%. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.003 to 0.006 ng/g, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.01 to 0.02 ng/g. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) was used to confirm the presence of PAHs in food. The total PAH content of the roasted pork loin was 7.4 ng/g. This concentration decreased by 35%, 48% and 58% when the meat was roasted with apricots, prunes and cranberries, respectively. The cranberries also inhibited the formation of benzo(a)pyrene to the greatest extent. Thermally treating meat stuffed with dry fruits may be a simple and effective way to prepare foods with reduced levels of mutagens and carcinogens belonging to PAHs, and thus reduce the risk of cancer.

Reversible Formation of Alkyl Radicals at [Fe<sub>4</sub>S<sub>4</sub>] Clusters and Its Implications for Selectivity in Radical SAM Enzymes.

Project description:All kingdoms of life use the transient 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical (5'-dAdo•) to initiate a wide range of difficult chemical reactions. Because of its high reactivity, the 5'-dAdo• must be generated in a controlled manner to abstract a specific H atom and avoid unproductive reactions. In radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzymes, the 5'-dAdo• is formed upon reduction of SAM by an [Fe4S4] cluster. An organometallic precursor featuring an Fe-C bond between the [Fe4S4] cluster and the 5'-dAdo group was recently characterized and shown to be competent for substrate radical generation, presumably via Fe-C bond homolysis. Such reactivity is without precedent for Fe-S clusters. Here, we show that synthetic [Fe4S4]-alkyl clusters undergo Fe-C bond homolysis when the alkylated Fe site has a suitable coordination number, thereby providing support for the intermediacy of organometallic species in radical SAM enzymes. Addition of pyridine donors to [(IMes)3Fe4S4-R]+ clusters (R = alkyl or benzyl; IMes = 1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene) generates R•, ultimately forming R-R coupled hydrocarbons. This process is facile at room temperature and allows for the generation of highly reactive radicals including primary carbon radicals. Mechanistic studies, including use of the 5-hexenyl radical clock, demonstrate that Fe-C bond homolysis occurs reversibly. Using these experimental insights and kinetic simulations, we evaluate the circumstances in which an organometallic intermediate can direct the 5'-dAdo• toward productive H-atom abstraction. Our findings demonstrate that reversible homolysis of even weak M-C bonds is a feasible protective mechanism for the 5'-dAdo• that can allow selective X-H bond activation in both radical SAM and adenosylcobalamin enzymes.

Late-Stage Heteroarylation of Hetero(aryl)sulfonium Salts Activated by α-Amino Alkyl Radicals.

Project description:We report a late-stage heteroarylation of aryl sulfonium salts through activation with α-amino alkyl radicals in a mechanistically distinct approach from previously reported halogen-atom transfer (XAT). The new mode of activation of aryl sulfonium salts proceeds in the absence of light and photoredox catalysts, engaging a wide range of hetarenes. Furthermore, we demonstrate the applicability of this methodology in synthetically useful cross-coupling transformations.
