Nucleophilic reactivity of the gold atom in a diarylborylgold(i) complex toward polar multiple bonds.

ABSTRACT: A di(o-tolyl)borylgold complex was synthesized via the metathesis reaction of a gold alkoxide with tetra(o-tolyl)diborane(4). The resulting diarylborylgold complex exhibited a Lewis acidic boron center and a characteristic visible absorption that arises from its HOMO-LUMO excitation, which is narrower than that of a previously reported dioxyborylgold complex. The diarylborylgold complex reacted with isocyanide in a stepwise fashion to afford single- and double-insertion products and a C-C coupled product. Reactions of this diarylborylgold complex with C[double bond, length as m-dash]O/N double bond species furnished addition products under concomitant formation of Au-C and B-O/N bonds, which suggests nucleophilic reactivity of the gold metal center. DFT calculations provided details of the underlying reaction mechanism, which involves an initial coordination of the C[double bond, length as m-dash]O/N bond to the boron vacant p-orbital of the diarylboryl ligand followed by a migration of the gold atom from the tetracoordinate sp³-hybridized boron center, which is analogous to the reactivity of the conventional sp³-hybridized borate species. The DFT calculations also suggested a stepwise mechanism for the reaction of this diarylborylgold complex with isocyanide, which afforded three different reaction products depending on the applied reaction conditions.

Reactivity of a Gold-Aluminyl Complex with Carbon Dioxide: A Nucleophilic Gold?

Project description:A gold-aluminyl complex has been recently reported to feature an unconventional gold nucleophilic center, which was revealed through reactivity with carbon dioxide leading to the Au-CO2 coordination mode. In this work, we computationally investigate the reaction mechanism, which is found to be cooperative, with the gold-aluminum bond being the actual nucleophile and Al also behaving as electrophile. The Au-Al bond is shown to be mainly of an electron-sharing nature, with the two metal fragments displaying a diradical-like reactivity with CO2.

A complex with nitrogen single, double, and triple bonds to the same chromium atom: synthesis, structure, and reactivity.

Project description:A nitrogen-based analogue of the Schrock and Clark "yl-ene-yne" complex, W(CBu t )(CHBu t )(CH2Bu t )(dmpe), has been prepared. The new complex is the nitrido, imido, amido anion [NCr(NPh)(NPri2)2]-, which was structurally characterized with the [K(crypt-2.2.2)]+ counterion. The "Cr-N 1-2-3" complex was prepared from NCr(NHPh)(NPri2)2, which exists as this nitrido-amido tautomer, rather than the bis(imido) Cr(NH)(NPh)(NPri2)2. By selection of electrophile, the nitrido-imido salt K[NCr(NPh)(NPri2)2] can undergo reaction at either the imido or the nitrido to form unusual examples of nitrido or bis(imido) complexes.

Formation of a room temperature stable Fe(V)(O) complex: reactivity toward unactivated C-H bonds.

Project description:An Fe(V)(O) complex has been synthesized from equimolar solutions of (Et4N)2[Fe(III)(Cl)(biuret-amide)] and mCPBA in CH3CN at room temperature. The Fe(V)(O) complex has been characterized by UV-vis, EPR, Mössbauer, and HRMS and shown to be capable of oxidizing a series of alkanes having C-H bond dissociation energies ranging from 99.3 kcal mol(-1) (cyclohexane) to 84.5 kcal mol(-1) (cumene). Linearity in the Bell-Evans-Polayni graph and the finding of a large kinetic isotope effect suggest that hydrogen abstraction is engaged the rate-determining step.

Revisiting the Synthesis and Nucleophilic Reactivity of an Anionic Copper Superoxide Complex.

Project description:The addition of 1 equiv of KO2 and Kryptofix222 (Krypt) in CH3CN to a solution of LCu(CH3CN) [L = N, N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,6-pyridinecarboxamide] in tetrahydrofuran at -80 °C yielded [K(Krypt)][LCuO2], the enhanced stability of which enabled reexamination of its reactivity with 2-phenylpropionaldehyde (2-PPA). Mechanistic and product analysis studies revealed that [K(Krypt)][LCuO2] reacts with wet 2-PPA to form [LCuOH]-, which then deprotonates 2-PPA to yield the copper(II) enolate complex [LCu(OC═C(Me)Ph)]-. Acetophenone was observed upon workup of this complex or mixtures of KO2 and 2-PPA alone, in support of an alternative mechanism(s) to the one proposed previously involving an initial nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl group of 2-PPA.

Oxygen-atom transfer reactivity of axially ligated Mn(V)-oxo complexes: evidence for enhanced electrophilic and nucleophilic pathways.

Project description:Addition of anionic donors to the manganese(V)-oxo corrolazine complex Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz) has a dramatic influence on oxygen-atom transfer (OAT) reactivity with thioether substrates. The six-coordinate anionic [Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz)(X)](-) complexes (X = F(-), N3(-), OCN(-)) exhibit a ?5 cm(-1) downshift of the Mn-O vibrational mode relative to the parent Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz) complex as seen by resonance Raman spectroscopy. Product analysis shows that the oxidation of thioether substrates gives sulfoxide product, consistent with single OAT. A wide range of OAT reactivity is seen for the different axial ligands, with the following trend determined from a comparison of their second-order rate constants for sulfoxidation: five-coordinate ? thiocyanate ? nitrate < cyanate < azide < fluoride ? cyanide. This trend correlates with DFT calculations on the binding of the axial donors to the parent Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz) complex. A Hammett study was performed with p-X-C6H4SCH3 derivatives and [Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz)(X)](-) (X = CN(-) or F(-)) as the oxidant, and unusual "V-shaped" Hammett plots were obtained. These results are rationalized based upon a change in mechanism that hinges on the ability of the [Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz)(X)](-) complexes to function as either an electrophilic or weak nucleophilic oxidant depending upon the nature of the para-X substituents. For comparison, the one-electron-oxidized cationic Mn(V)(O)(TBP8Cz(•+)) complex yielded a linear Hammett relationship for all substrates (? = -1.40), consistent with a straightforward electrophilic mechanism. This study provides new, fundamental insights regarding the influence of axial donors on high-valent Mn(V)(O) porphyrinoid complexes.

Utilizing the ?-complex stability for quantifying reactivity in nucleophilic substitution of aromatic fluorides.

Project description:A computational approach using density functional theory to compute the energies of the possible ?-complex reaction intermediates, the "?-complex approach", has been shown to be very useful in predicting regioselectivity, in electrophilic as well as nucleophilic aromatic substitution. In this article we give a short overview of the background for these investigations and the general requirements for predictive reactivity models for the pharmaceutical industry. We also present new results regarding the reaction rates and regioselectivities in nucleophilic substitution of fluorinated aromatics. They were rationalized by investigating linear correlations between experimental rate constants (k) from the literature with a theoretical quantity, which we call the sigma stability (SS). The SS is the energy change associated with formation of the intermediate ?-complex by attachment of the nucleophile to the aromatic ring. The correlations, which include both neutral (NH3) and anionic (MeO(-)) nucleophiles are quite satisfactory (r = 0.93 to r = 0.99), and SS is thus useful for quantifying both global (substrate) and local (positional) reactivity in SNAr reactions of fluorinated aromatic substrates. A mechanistic analysis shows that the geometric structure of the ?-complex resembles the rate-limiting transition state and that this provides a rationale for the observed correlations between the SS and the reaction rate.

The hydrogen atom transfer reactivity of a porphyrinoid cobalt superoxide complex.

Project description:The H-atom transfer (HAT) reactivity of a corrolazine cobalt superoxide with weak O-H and N-H substrates has been demonstrated. Kinetic analysis shows relatively fast rates of HAT with diphenylhydrazine (DPH). A kinetic isotope effect (KIE) and Eyring activation parameters are consistent with an HAT mechanism.

Enzymatic activation of the nitrogen atom in peptide bonds

Project description:Abstract The peptide bond is the defining feature of proteins, it co ntrols their structure by enforcing planarity and governs their chemistry by abolishing nucleophili city. This behaviour results from the delocalisation of the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom into the adjacent carbonyl bond. Methylating an amide bond by conventional chemistry usually requires a metal to generate the amide anion. The OphA enzyme methyla tes amide bonds at pH 7 in water using S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) as co-factor. The st ructure of OphA reveals a complex catenane arrangement in which the substrate i s clamped adjacent to SAM. Site directed mutants have identified the key catalytic residue s. A mechanism in which conjugation of the peptide bond is disrupted by van der Waals in teractions between SAM and the amide nitrogen is proposed and tested. The methylation of amides is of particular interest as it greatly enhances the cell permeability of peptides.

Acidity and nucleophilic reactivity of glutathione persulfide.

Project description:Persulfides (RSSH/RSS-) participate in sulfur trafficking and metabolic processes, and are proposed to mediate the signaling effects of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Despite their growing relevance, their chemical properties are poorly understood. Herein, we studied experimentally and computationally the formation, acidity, and nucleophilicity of glutathione persulfide (GSSH/GSS-), the derivative of the abundant cellular thiol glutathione (GSH). We characterized the kinetics and equilibrium of GSSH formation from glutathione disulfide and H2S. A pKa of 5.45 for GSSH was determined, which is 3.49 units below that of GSH. The reactions of GSSH with the physiologically relevant electrophiles peroxynitrite and hydrogen peroxide, and with the probe monobromobimane, were studied and compared with those of thiols. These reactions occurred through SN2 mechanisms. At neutral pH, GSSH reacted faster than GSH because of increased availability of the anion and, depending on the electrophile, increased reactivity. In addition, GSS- presented higher nucleophilicity with respect to a thiolate with similar basicity. This can be interpreted in terms of the so-called α effect, i.e. the increased reactivity of a nucleophile when the atom adjacent to the nucleophilic atom has high electron density. The magnitude of the α effect correlated with the Brønsted nucleophilic factor, βnuc, for the reactions with thiolates and with the ability of the leaving group. Our study constitutes the first determination of the pKa of a biological persulfide and the first examination of the α effect in sulfur nucleophiles, and sheds light on the chemical basis of the biological properties of persulfides.

Disulfonimides versus Phosphoric Acids in Bronsted Acid Catalysis: The Effect of Weak Hydrogen Bonds and Multiple Acceptors on Complex Structures and Reactivity.

Project description:In Brønsted acid catalysis, hydrogen bonds play a crucial role for reactivity and selectivity. However, the contribution of weak hydrogen bonds or multiple acceptors has been unclear so far since it is extremely difficult to collect experimental evidence for weak hydrogen bonds. Here, our hydrogen bond and structural access to Brønsted acid/imine complexes was used to analyze BINOL-derived chiral disulfonimide (DSI)/imine complexes. 1H and 15N chemical shifts as well as 1JNH coupling constants revealed for DSI/imine complexes ion pairs with very weak hydrogen bonds. The high acidity of the DSIs leads to a significant weakening of the hydrogen bond as structural anchor. In addition, the five hydrogen bond acceptors of DSI allow an enormous mobility of the imine in the binary DSI complexes. Theoretical calculations predict the hydrogen bonds to oxygen to be energetically less favored; however, their considerable population is corroborated experimentally by NOE and exchange data. Furthermore, an N-alkylimine, which shows excellent reactivity and selectivity in reactions with DSI, reveals an enlarged structural space in complexes with the chiral phosphoric acid TRIP as potential explanation of its reduced reactivity and selectivity. Thus, considering factors such as flexibility and possible hydrogen bond sites is essential for catalyst development in Brønsted acid catalysis.
