Mild Cu(OTf)₂-Mediated C-Glycosylation with Chelation-Assisted Picolinate as a Leaving Group.

ABSTRACT: C-Glycosylation reactions of glycosyl picolinates with allyltrimethylsilane or silyl enol ethers were developed. Picolinate as a chelation-assisted leaving group could be activated by Cu(OTf)₂ and avoided the use of harsh Lewis acids. The glycosylations were operated under mild neutral conditions and gave the corresponding C-glycosides in up to 95% yield with moderate to excellent stereoselectivities.

Cu(OTf)2 -Mediated Cross-Coupling of Nitriles and N-Heterocycles with Arylboronic Acids to Generate Nitrilium and Pyridinium Products*.

Project description:Metal-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling generally forms C-N bonds by reductive elimination from metal complexes bearing covalent C- and N-ligands. We have identified a Cu-mediated C-N cross-coupling that uses a dative N-ligand in the bond-forming event, which, in contrast to conventional methods, generates reactive cationic products. Mechanistic studies suggest the process operates via transmetalation of an aryl organoboron to a CuII complex bearing neutral N-ligands, such as nitriles or N-heterocycles. Subsequent generation of a putative CuIII complex enables the oxidative C-N coupling to take place, delivering nitrilium intermediates and pyridinium products. The reaction is general for a range of N(sp) and N(sp2 ) precursors and can be applied to drug synthesis and late-stage N-arylation, and the limitations in the methodology are mechanistically evidenced.

Synthesis of 1,2,4-Trisubstituted-(1H)-imidazoles through Cu(OTf)2-/I2-Catalyzed C-C Bond Cleavage of Chalcones and Benzylamines.

Project description:1,2,4-Trisubstituted-(1H)-imidazoles have been synthesized by the Cu(OTf)2- and I2-catalyzed unusual C-C bond cleavage of chalcones and benzylamines. After the α,β-unsaturated C-C bond cleavage, the β-portion is eliminated from the reaction. Various aryl- and heteroaryl-substituted chalcones and benzylamines were well tolerated in this unusual transformation to yield the trisubstituted-(1H)-imidazoles.

A bioinspired Au-Cu1.97S/Cu2S film with efficient low-angle-dependent and thermal-assisted photodetection properties.

Project description:Inspired by the geological processes, this study develops an innovative low-concentration-ratio H2 reduction method to reduce the stoichiometric Au-CuS nanoparticles to produce completely reduced stoichiometric Cu2S with "invisible" Au achieved for solid solution Au enhancement. A stable Au-Cu1.97S/Cu2S micro/nano-composite is then formed by spontaneous oxidation. From this composite, in combination with biomimetic technology, an omnidirectional photoabsorption and thermoregulated film (Au-Cu1.97S/Cu2S-C-T_FW) is designed and fabricated as a photothermal-assisted and temperature-autoregulated photodetector for broadband and low-angle-dependent photodetection that presents good performance with high responsivity (26.37 mA/W), detectivity (1.25×108 Jones), and good stability at low bias (0.5 V). Solid solution Au exhibits significantly enhanced photodetection (1,000 times). This study offers a new concept for improving the stability and photoelectric properties of copper chalcogenides. Moreover, it opens up a new avenue toward enhancing the performance of optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices using solid solution metal atoms and thermal-assisted, anti-overheating temperature autoregulation.

Dye-Assisted Transformation of Cu2O Nanocrystals to Amorphous Cu x O Nanoflakes for Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance.

Project description:Amorphous Cu x O nanoflakes with a thickness of 10-50 nm were synthesized through dye-assisted transformation of rhombic dodecahedral Cu2O nanocrystals using a facile solution process. The morphology evolution observed by electron microscopy is highly dependent on the reaction between the surface and the dye. The crystal grain shrinks during the process until the formation of a purely amorphous nanoflake. The amorphous Cu x O nanoflake consists of a combination of Cu(I) and Cu(II) with a ratio close to 1:1. It shows enhanced photocatalytic reactivity toward the degradation of methyl orange compared to that of rhombic dodecahedral Cu2O nanocrystals with all active (110):Cu facets. The chemical composition and architecture remain the same after repeating degradation tests. The high surface-to-volume ratio contributes to its superior photocatalytic performance, whereas its low surface energy, confirmed by density functional theory simulations, explains its improved stability. The nanoflakes also show the ability of degrading nitrobenzene effectively, thus demonstrating great promise as a highly stable and active photocatalyst for environmental applications.

Synthesis of Glycosyl Chlorides and Bromides by Chelation Assisted Activation of Picolinic Esters under Mild Neutral Conditions.

Project description:A general method has been developed for the formation of glycosyl chlorides and bromides from picolinic esters under mild and neutral conditions. Benchtop stable picolinic esters are activated by a copper(II) halide species to afford the corresponding products in high yields with a traceless leaving group. Rare ? glycosyl chlorides are accessible via this route through neighboring group participation. Additionally, glycosyl chlorides with labile protecting groups previously not easily accessible can be prepared.

Enzyme-specific activation versus leaving group ability.

Project description:Enzyme-specific activation and the substrate mimetics strategy are effective ways to circumvent the limited substrate recognition often encountered in protease-catalyzed peptide synthesis. A key structural element in both approaches is the guanidinophenyl (OGp) ester, which enables important interactions for affinity and recognition by the enzyme--at least, this is usually the explanation given for its successful application. In this study we show that leaving group ability is of equal or even greater importance. To this end we used both experimental and computational methods: 1) synthesis of close analogues of OGp, and their evaluation in a dipeptide synthesis assay with trypsin, 2) molecular docking studies to provide insights into the binding mode, and 3) ab initio calculations to evaluate their electronic properties.

Ultrasonic-assisted electrodeposition of Cu-Sn-TiO2 nanocomposite coatings with enhanced antibacterial activity.

Project description:Copper-based coatings are known for their high antibacterial activity. In this study, nanocomposite Cu-Sn-TiO2 coatings were obtained by electrodeposition from an oxalic acid bath additionally containing 4 g/dm3 TiO2 with mechanical and ultrasonic agitation. Ultrasound treatment was performed at 26 kHz frequency and 32 W/dm3 power. The influence of agitation mode and the current load on the inclusion and distribution of the TiO2 phase in the Cu-Sn metallic matrix were evaluated. Results indicated that ultrasonic agitation decreases agglomeration of TiO2 particles and allows for the deposition of dense Cu-Sn-TiO2 nanocomposites. It is shown that nanocomposite Cu-Sn-TiO2 coatings formed by ultrasonic-assisted electrodeposition exhibit excellent antimicrobial properties against E. coli bacteria.

Plasmon-assisted site-selective growth of Ag nanotriangles and Ag-Cu2O hybrids.

Project description:We report a plasmon-assisted growth of metal and semiconductor onto the tips of Ag nanotriangles (AgNTs) under light irradiation. The site-selective growth of Ag onto AgNTs are firstly demonstrated on the copper grids and amine-coated glass slides. As the irradiation time increases, microscopic images indicate that AgNTs gradually touch with each other and finally "weld" tip-to-tip together into the branched chains. Meanwhile, the redshift of plasmon band is observed in the extinction spectra, which agrees well the growth at the tips of AgNTs and the decrease of the gaps between the adjacent nanotriangles. We also synthesize AgNT-Cu2O nanocomposites by using a photochemical method and find that the Cu2O nanoparticles preferably grow on the tips of AgNTs. The site-selective growth of Ag and Cu2O is interpreted by the local field concentration at the tips of AgNTs induced by surface plasmon resonance under light excitation.

Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation with α-[Fe(mcp)(OTf)2] and Analogues.

Project description:The complex α-[Fe(mcp)(OTf)2] (mcp = N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine and OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate anion) was reported in 2011 by some of us as an active water oxidation (WO) catalyst in the presence of sacrificial oxidants. However, because chemical oxidants are likely to take part in the reaction mechanism, mechanistic electrochemical studies are critical in establishing to what extent previous studies with sacrificial reagents have actually been meaningful. In this study, the complex α-[Fe(mcp)(OTf)2] and its analogues were investigated electrochemically under both acidic and neutral conditions. All the systems under investigation proved to be electrochemically active toward the WO reaction, with no major differences in activity despite the structural changes. Our findings show that WO-catalyzed by mcp-iron complexes proceeds via homogeneous species, whereas the analogous manganese complex forms a heterogeneous deposit on the electrode surface. Mechanistic studies show that the reaction proceeds with a different rate-determining step (rds) than what was previously proposed in the presence of chemical oxidants. Moreover, the different kinetic isotope effect (KIE) values obtained electrochemically at pH 7 (KIE ∼ 10) and at pH 1 (KIE = 1) show that the reaction conditions have a remarkable effect on the rds and on the mechanism. We suggest a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) as the rds under neutral conditions, whereas at pH 1 the rds is most likely an electron transfer (ET).

Pd-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Biaryl Coupling: Non-Redox Cocatalysis by Cu(OTf)2 and Discovery of Fe(OTf)3 as a Highly Effective Cocatalyst.

Project description:Copper salts find widespread use in Pd-catalyzed oxidation reactions, and they are typically used as oxidants or redox-active cocatalysts. Here, we probe the origin of a dramatic acceleration effect of Cu(OTf)2 in the C-H/C-H aerobic oxidative coupling of o-xylene. NMR spectroscopic analysis of the PdII catalyst in the presence of Cu(OTf)2, together with other experimental and DFT computational studies of the catalytic reaction, show that Cu(OTf)2 activates the PdII catalyst for C-H activation via a non-redox pathway and has negligible impact on catalyst reoxidation. These observations led to the testing of other metal triflate salts as cocatalysts, the results of which show that Fe(OTf)3 is even more effective than Cu(OTf)2.
