Project description:Transition-metal-free radical ?-perfluoroalkylation with the accompanying vicinal ?-alkenylation of unactivated alkenes is presented. These radical cascades proceed by means of 1,4- or 1,5-alkenyl migration by electron catalysis on readily accessed allylic alcohols. The reactions comprise a regioselective perfluoroalkyl radical addition with subsequent alkenyl migration and concomitant deprotonation to generate a ketyl radical anion that sustains the chain as a single-electron-transfer reducing reagent.

Project description:Free radical-initiated peptide sequencing (FRIPS), a TEMPO-assisted mass spectrometry, has shown potential as a peptide tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) tool that can be an alternative to electron-based mass spectrometry and the traditional collision-based methods. However, a couple of instrumentation barriers need to be overcome before this approach can be a practical tool. One of the barriers is the limitation of the FRIPS-based technique to ion trap mass spectrometry or an orbitrap due to the MS3 workflow. To overcome this challenge, the work introduces a recently developed activation within the trapped ion mobility mass spectrometry (TIMS) device that was found to initiate the radical species. More importantly, the generated product ion was mobility separated, which increased the sequence coverage. Overall, coupling the activation within the TIMS cell with the para-TEMPO-Bz-based FRIPS mass spectrometry offers another practical approach that can be utilized for peptide MS/MS analysis

Project description:Free radical-initiated peptide sequencing (FRIPS) is a tandem mass spectrometry technique (MS/MS) that enables radical-based dissociation on instruments only capable of collisional activation. In FRIPS, peptides are chemically-derivatized with a compound that undergoes homolytic cleavage and generates radicals upon collisional activation. These radicals then propagate through the peptide backbone enabling the sequencing of peptide ions. This MS/MS technique has shown promise in sequencing post-translationally modified peptides, but it is typically performed in an MS3 workflow and single-step MS/MS approaches result in the generation of both collisional- and radical-driven dissociation products and highly complex spectra. Recently, our group developed a method to dissociate peptide ions prior to ion mobility analysis within a trapped-ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) device. In this work, we examine if this CIDtims technique is capable of initiating the homolytic cleavage of the FRIPS precursor. We then examine if the resultant ion mobility separation results in additional assignments of product ions and improved sequence coverage. We demonstrate that activation within the TIMS device does indeed promote robust radical initiation and fragmentation and that the generated product ions are mobility separated enabling facile assignment and increased sequence coverage.

Project description:Three-component 1,2-carboamination of vinyl boronic esters with alkyl/aryl lithium reagents and N-chloro-carbamates/carboxamides is presented. Vinylboron ate complexes generated in situ from the boronic ester and an organo lithium reagent are shown to react with readily available N-chloro-carbamates/carboxamides to give valuable 1,2-aminoboronic esters. These cascades proceed in the absence of any catalyst upon simple visible light irradiation. Amidyl radicals add to the vinylboron ate complexes followed by oxidation and 1,2-alkyl/aryl migration from boron to carbon to give the corresponding carboamination products. These practical cascades show high functional group tolerance and accordingly exhibit broad substrate scope. Gram-scale reaction and diverse follow-up transformations convincingly demonstrate the synthetic potential of this method.

Project description:A 2-protected cis-amino mitosene undergoes an irreversible acetone promoted isomerization and converts to the 1-isomer. Kinetic studies and DFT calculations of the reaction are reported. An organocatalytic mechanism is proposed, involving a covalent intermediate formed by reaction of the mitosene and acetone.

Project description:Outer-sphere radical hydrogenation of olefins proceeds via stepwise hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from transition metal hydride species to the substrate. Typical catalysts exhibit M-H bonds that are either too weak to efficiently activate H2 or too strong to reduce unactivated olefins. This contribution evaluates an alternative approach, that starts from a square-planar cobalt(II) hydride complex. Photoactivation results in Co-H bond homolysis. The three-coordinate cobalt(I) photoproduct binds H2 to give a dihydrogen complex, which is a strong hydrogen atom donor, enabling the stepwise hydrogenation of both styrenes and unactivated aliphatic olefins with H2 via HAT.

Project description:A photocatalytic system for the dearomative hydroarylation of benzene derivatives has been developed. Using a combination of an organic photoredox catalyst and an amine reductant, this process operates through a reductive radical-polar crossover mechanism where aryl halide reduction triggers a regioselective radical cyclization event, followed by anion formation and quenching to produce a range of complex spirocyclic cyclohexadienes. This light-driven protocol functions at room temperature in a green solvent system (aq. MeCN) without the need for precious metal-based catalysts or reagents or the generation of stoichiometric metal byproducts.

Project description:Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reactions have emerged as appealing methods to construct organic molecules without the use of stoichiometric organometallic reagents. The mechanisms are complex: plausible pathways, such as "radical chain" and "sequential reduction" mechanisms, are dependent on the sequence of the activation of electrophiles. A combination of kinetic, spectroscopic, and organometallic studies reveals that a Ni-catalyzed, reductive 1,2-dicarbofunctionalization of alkenes proceeds through a "sequential reduction" pathway. The reduction of Ni by Zn is the turnover-limiting step, consistent with Ni(II) intermediates as the catalyst resting-state. Zn is only sufficient to reduce (phen)Ni(II) to a Ni(I) species. As a result, commonly proposed Ni(0) intermediates are absent under these conditions. (Phen)Ni(I)-Br selectively activates aryl bromides via two-electron oxidation addition, whereas alkyl bromides are activated by (phen)Ni(I)-Ar through single-electron activation to afford radicals. These findings could provide insight into achieving selectivity between different electrophiles.

Project description:Photocatalytic reactions of enones using metal polypyridyl complexes proceed by very different reaction manifolds in the presence of either Lewis or Brønsted acid additives. Previous work from our lab demonstrated that photocatalytic [2+2] cycloadditions of enones required the presence of a Lewis acidic co-catalyst, presumably to activate the enone and stabilize the key radical anion intermediate. On the other hand, Brønsted acid activators alter this reactivity and instead promote reductive cyclization reactions of a variety of aryl and aliphatic enones via a neutral radical intermediate. These two distinct reactive intermediates give rise to transformations differing in the connectivity, stereochemistry, and oxidation state of their products. In addition, this reductive coupling method introduces a novel approach to the tin-free generation of ?-ketoradicals that react with high diastereoselectivity and with the high functional group compatibility typical of radical cyclization reactions.

Project description:1,2-Dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) is one of the most abundant manmade chlorinated organic contaminants in the world. Reductive dechlorination of 1,2-DCA by organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) can be impacted by other chlorinated contaminants such as chloroethenes and chloropropanes that can co-exist with 1,2-DCA at contaminated sites. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chloroethenes and 1,2-dichloropropane (1,2-DCP) on 1,2-DCA dechlorination using sediment cultures enriched with 1,2-DCA as the sole chlorinated compound (EA culture) or with 1,2-DCA and tetrachloroethene (PCE) (EB culture), and to model dechlorination kinetics. Both cultures contained Dehalococcoides as most predominated OHRB, and Dehalogenimonas and Geobacter as other known OHRB. In sediment-free enrichments obtained from the EA and EB cultures, dechlorination of 1,2-DCA was inhibited in the presence of the same concentrations of either PCE, vinyl chloride (VC), or 1,2-DCP; however, concurrent dechlorination of dual chlorinated compounds was achieved. In contrast, 1,2-DCA dechlorination completely ceased in the presence of cis-dichloroethene (cDCE) and only occurred after cDCE was fully dechlorinated. In turn, 1,2-DCA did not affect dechlorination of PCE, cDCE, VC, and 1,2-DCP. In sediment-free enrichments obtained from the EA culture, Dehalogenimonas 16S rRNA gene copy numbers decreased 1-3 orders of magnitude likely due to an inhibitory effect of chloroethenes. Dechlorination with and without competitive inhibition fit Michaelis-Menten kinetics and confirmed the inhibitory effect of chloroethenes and 1,2-DCP on 1,2-DCA dechlorination. This study reinforces that the type of chlorinated substrate drives the selection of specific OHRB, and indicates that removal of chloroethenes and in particular cDCE might be necessary before effective removal of 1,2-DCA at sites contaminated with mixed chlorinated solvents.
