Mechanistic elucidation of monoalkyltin(iv)-catalyzed esterification.

ABSTRACT: Monoalkyltin(iv) complexes are well-known catalysts for esterification reactions and polyester formation, yet the mode of operation of these Lewis acidic complexes is still unknown. Here, we report on mechanistic studies of n-butylstannoic acid in stoichiometric and catalytic reactions, analyzed by NMR, IR and MS techniques. While the chemistry of n-butyltin(iv) carboxylates is dominated by formation of multinuclear tin assemblies, we found that under catalytically relevant conditions only monomeric n-BuSn(OAc)₃ and dimeric (n-BuSnOAc₂OEt)₂ are present. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide support for a mononuclear mechanism, where n-BuSn(OAc)₃ and dimeric (n-BuSnOAc₂OEt)₂ are regarded as off-cycle species, and suggest that carbon-oxygen bond breaking is the rate-determining step.

Nickel-Catalyzed Esterification of Aliphatic Amides.

Project description:Recent studies have demonstrated that amides can be used in nickel-catalyzed reactions that lead to cleavage of the amide C-N bond, with formation of a C-C or C-heteroatom bond. However, the general scope of these methodologies has been restricted to amides where the carbonyl is directly attached to an arene or heteroarene. We now report the nickel-catalyzed esterification of amides derived from aliphatic carboxylic acids. The transformation requires only a slight excess of the alcohol nucleophile and is tolerant of heterocycles, substrates with epimerizable stereocenters, and sterically congested coupling partners. Moreover, a series of amide competition experiments establish selectivity principles that will aid future synthetic design. These studies overcome a critical limitation of current Ni-catalyzed amide couplings and are expected to further stimulate the use of amides as synthetic building blocks in C-N bond cleavage processes.

Halloysite-Catalyzed Esterification of Bio-Mass Derived Acids.

Project description:Halloysite, a natural clay with a hollow tubular structure, was studied as a catalyst for the esterification of biomass-derived carboxylic acids (levulinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, and succinic acid) with four different alcohols (MeOH, EtOH, n-PrOH, and n-BuOH). Reaction conditions were optimized (10 mol % halloysite, 170 °C, 24 h) and gave high yields of the corresponding esters and diesters (>90%). The halloysite was easily recovered and recycled after washing and drying.

Kinetic Modeling of the Nickel-Catalyzed Esterification of Amides.

Project description:Nickel-catalyzed coupling reactions provide exciting tools in chemical synthesis. However, most methodologies in this area require high catalyst loadings, which commonly range from 10-20 mol % nickel. Through an academic-industrial collaboration, we demonstrate that kinetic modeling can be used strategically to overcome this problem, specifically within the context of the Ni-catalyzed conversion of amides to esters. The successful application of this methodology to a multigram-scale coupling, using only 0.4 mol % Ni, highlights the impact of this endeavor.

Development of copper-catalyzed deaminative esterification using high-throughput experimentation.

Project description:Repurposing of amine and carboxylic acid building blocks provides an enormous opportunity to expand the accessible chemical space, because amine and acid feedstocks are typically low cost and available in high diversity. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed deaminative esterification based on C-N activation of aryl amines via diazonium salt formation. The reaction was specifically designed to complement the popular amide coupling reaction. A chemoinformatic analysis of commercial building blocks demonstrates that by utilizing aryl amines, our method nearly doubles the available esterification chemical space compared to classic Fischer esterification with phenols. High-throughput experimentation in microliter reaction droplets was used to develop the reaction, along with classic scope studies, both of which demonstrated robust performance against hundreds of substrate pairs. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that this new esterification is suitable for late-stage diversification and for building-block repurposing to expand chemical space.

Sulfuric Acid Catalyzed Esterification of Amino Acids in Thin Film.

Project description:The esterification reaction of different amino acids with methanol catalyzed by H2SO4 was first studied in the small volume of thin films generated by ESI microdroplet deposition. The reaction is promoted by the pneumatic spray of the ESI source and reaches its maximum efficiency at a thin film temperature of 70 °C. Selective esterification of the COOH moiety was demonstrated. Microdroplet size and thin film volume and lifetime are critical parameters that influenced the reaction outcome. As expected, l-tyrosine and l-phenylalanine having aromatic side chain substituents were the most reactive amino acids, reaching absolute yields of around 40-50%. The amino acid esterification catalyzed by H2SO4 in a thin film occurs under synthetic conditions in which the same reaction in the bulk is not observed.

Ultrasound-Assisted Enantioselective Esterification of Ibuprofen Catalyzed by a Flower-Like Nanobioreactor.

Project description:A flower-like nanobioreactor was prepared for resolution of ibuprofen in organic solvents. Ultrasound irradiation has been used to improve the enzyme performance of APE1547 (a thermophilic esterase from the archaeon Aeropyrum pernix K1) in the enantioselective esterification. Under optimum reaction conditions (ultrasound power, 225 W; temperature, 45 °C; water activity, 0.21), the immobilized APE1547 showed an excellent catalytic performance (enzyme activity, 13.26 μmol/h/mg; E value, 147.1). After ten repeated reaction batches, the nanobioreactor retained almost 100% of its initial enzyme activity and enantioselectivity. These results indicated that the combination of the immobilization method and ultrasound irradiation can enhance the enzyme performance dramatically.

Biomimetic Crystallization of MnFe2O4 Mediated by Peptide-Catalyzed Esterification at Low Temperature.

Project description:Enzymes are some of the most efficient catalysts in nature. If small catalytic peptides mimic enzymes, there is potential for broad applications from catalysis for new material synthesis to drug development, due to the ease of molecular design. Recently a hydrogel-based combinatory phage display library was developed and protease-mimicking peptides were identified. Here we advanced the previous discovery to apply one of these catalytic peptides for the synthesis of bimetal oxide nanocrystals through the catalytic ester-elimination pathway. Conventional bimetal oxide crystallization usually requires high temperatures above several hundred °C; however, this catalytic peptide could grow superparamagnetic MnFe2O4 nanocrystals at 4°C. Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) analysis revealed that MnFe2O4 nano-crystals grown by the catalytic peptide exhibit superpara-magnetism. This study demonstrates the usefulness of protease-mimicking catalytic peptides in the field of material synthesis.

Epoxidation Catalyzed by the Nonheme Iron(II)- and 2-Oxoglutarate-Dependent Oxygenase, AsqJ: Mechanistic Elucidation of Oxygen Atom Transfer by a Ferryl Intermediate.

Project description:Mechanisms of enzymatic epoxidation via oxygen atom transfer (OAT) to an olefin moiety is mainly derived from the studies on thiolate-heme containing epoxidases, such as cytochrome P450 epoxidases. The molecular basis of epoxidation catalyzed by nonheme-iron enzymes is much less explored. Herein, we present a detailed study on epoxidation catalyzed by the nonheme iron(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent (Fe/2OG) oxygenase, AsqJ. The native substrate and analogues with different para substituents ranging from electron-donating groups (e.g., methoxy) to electron-withdrawing groups (e.g., trifluoromethyl) were used to probe the mechanism. The results derived from transient-state enzyme kinetics, Mössbauer spectroscopy, reaction product analysis, X-ray crystallography, density functional theory calculations, and molecular dynamic simulations collectively revealed the following mechanistic insights: (1) The rapid O2 addition to the AsqJ Fe(II) center occurs with the iron-bound 2OG adopting an online-binding mode in which the C1 carboxylate group of 2OG is trans to the proximal histidine (His134) of the 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad, instead of assuming the offline-binding mode with the C1 carboxylate group trans to the distal histidine (His211); (2) The decay rate constant of the ferryl intermediate is not strongly affected by the nature of the para substituents of the substrate during the OAT step, a reactivity behavior that is drastically different from nonheme Fe(IV)-oxo synthetic model complexes; (3) The OAT step most likely proceeds through a stepwise process with the initial formation of a C(benzylic)-O bond to generate an Fe-alkoxide species, which is observed in the AsqJ crystal structure. The subsequent C3-O bond formation completes the epoxide installation.

Aryloxy Ionic Liquid-Catalyzed Homogenous Esterification of Cellulose with Low-Reactive Acyl Donors.

Project description:Ionic liquids (ILs) are recyclable, non-volatile, and can dissolve cellulose, a natural polymer that is insoluble in versatile solvents. Therefore, ILs have been used to modify cellulose. However, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EmimOAc), a commercially available IL often used to dissolve and modify cellulose to prepare cellulose-based materials, causes the undesired introduction of an acetyl group derived from the acetate anion of EmimOAc onto the hydroxy group of cellulose during esterification. In this study, for cellulose esterification, we prepared aryloxy ILs as non-carboxylate-type and basic ILs, which can theoretically prevent the undesired introduction of an acyl group from the IL onto the hydroxy group of cellulose. The optimized 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium 2-pyridinolate (Emim2OPy) and mixed solvent system achieved rapid cellulose esterification (within 30 min) with an excellent degree of substitution (DS) value (up to >2.9) derived from the employed low-reactive vinyl esters and bio-based unsaturated aldehydes, without any undesired substituent introduction from side reactions.
