The Reaction of Hydrogen Halides with Tetrahydroborate Anion and Hexahydro-closo-hexaborate Dianion.

ABSTRACT: The mechanism of the consecutive halogenation of the tetrahydroborate anion [BH₄]^- by hydrogen halides (HX, X = F, Cl, Br) and hexahydro-closo-hexaborate dianion [B₆H₆]^2- by HCl via electrophile-induced nucleophilic substitution (EINS) was established by ab initio DFT calculations [M06/6-311++G(d,p) and wB97XD/6-311++G(d,p)] in acetonitrile (MeCN), taking into account non-specific solvent effects (SMD model). Successive substitution of H^- by X^- resulted in increased electron deficiency of borohydrides and changes in the character of boron atoms from nucleophilic to highly electrophilic. This, in turn, increased the tendency of the B-H bond to transfer a proton rather than a hydride ion. Thus, the regularities established suggested that it should be possible to carry out halogenation more selectively with the targeted synthesis of halogen derivatives with a low degree of substitution, by stabilization of H₂ complex, or by carrying out a nucleophilic substitution of B-H bonds activated by interaction with Lewis acids (BL₃).

The 9H-9-Borafluorene Dianion: A Surrogate for Elusive Diarylboryl Anion Nucleophiles.

Project description:Double reduction of the THF adduct of 9H-9-borafluorene (1?THF) with excess alkali metal affords the dianion salts M2 [1] in essentially quantitative yields (M=Li-K). Even though the added charge is stabilized through ??delocalization, [1]2- acts as a formal boron nucleophile toward organoboron (1?THF) and tetrel halide electrophiles (MeCl, Et3 SiCl, Me3 SnCl) to form B-B/C/Si/Sn bonds. The substrate dependence of open-shell versus closed-shell pathways has been investigated.

Hydrogen vs. Halogen Bonds in 1-Halo-Closo-Carboranes.

Project description:A theoretical study of the hydrogen bond (HB) and halogen bond (XB) complexes between 1-halo-closo-carboranes and hydrogen cyanide (NCH) as HB and XB probe has been carried out at the MP2 computational level. The energy results show that the HB complexes are more stable than the XBs for the same system, with the exception of the isoenergetic iodine derivatives. The analysis of the electron density with the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) shows the presence of a unique intermolecular bond critical point with the typical features of weak noncovalent interactions (small values of the electron density and positive Laplacian and total energy density). The natural energy decomposition analysis (NEDA) of the complexes shows that the HB and XB complexes are dominated by the charge-transfer and polarization terms, respectively. The work has been complemented with a search in the CSD database of analogous complexes and the comparison of the results, with those of the 1-halobenzene:NCH complexes showing smaller binding energies and larger intermolecular distances as compared to the 1-halo-closo-carboranes:NCH complexes.

Halides with Fifteen Aliphatic C-H···Anion Interaction Sites.

Project description:Since the aliphatic C-H···anion interaction is relatively weak, anion binding using hydrophobic aliphatic C-H (Cali-H) groups has generally been considered not possible without the presence of additional binding sites that contain stronger interactions to the anion. Herein, we report X-ray structures of organic crystals that feature a chloride anion bound exclusively by hydrophobic Cali-H groups. An X-ray structure of imidazolium-based scaffolds using Cali-H···A(-) interactions (A(-)?=?anion) shows that a halide anion is directly interacting with fifteen Cali-H groups (involving eleven hydrogen bonds, two bidentate hydrogen-bond-type binding interactions and two weakly hydrogen-bonding-like binding interactions). Additional supporting interactions and/or other binding sites are not observed. We note that such types of complexes may not be rare since such high numbers of binding sites for an anion are also found in analogous tetraalkylammonium complexes. The Cali-H···A(-) interactions are driven by the formation of a near-spherical dipole layer shell structure around the anion. The alternating layers of electrostatic charge around the anion arise because the repulsions between weakly positively charged H atoms are reduced by the presence of the weakly negatively charged C atoms connected to H atoms.

Radical-anion coupling through reagent design: hydroxylation of aryl halides.

Project description:The design and development of an oxime-based hydroxylation reagent, which can chemoselectively convert aryl halides (X = F, Cl, Br, I) into phenols under operationally simple, transition-metal-free conditions is described. Key to the success of this approach was the identification of a reducing oxime anion which can interact and couple with open-shell aryl radicals. Experimental and computational studies support the proposed radical-nucleophilic substitution chain mechanism.

Face-Fusion of Icosahedral Boron Hydride Increases Affinity to ?-Cyclodextrin: closo,closo-[B21 H18 ]- as an Anion with Very Low Free Energy of Dehydration.

Project description:The supramolecular recognition of closo,closo-[B21 H18 ]- by cyclodextrins (CDs) has been studied in aqueous solution by isothermal titration calorimetry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These solution studies follow up on previous mass-spectrometric measurements and computations, which indicated the formation and stability of CD???B21 H18 - complexes in the gas phase. The thermodynamic signature of solution-phase binding is exceptional, the association constant for the ?-CD complex with B21 H18 - reaches 1.8×106 ?M-1 , which is on the same order of magnitude as the so far highest observed value for the complex between ?-CD and a metallacarborane. The nature of the intermolecular interaction is also examined by quantum-mechanical computational protocols. These suggest that the desolvation penalty, which is particularly low for the B21 H18 - anion, is the decisive factor for its high binding strength. The results further suggest that the elliptical macropolyhedral boron hydride is another example of a CD binder, whose extraordinary binding affinity is driven by the chaotropic effect, which describes the intrinsic affinity of large polarizable and weakly solvated chaotropic anions to hydrophobic cavities and surfaces in aqueous solution.

Heck Reaction of Electronically Diverse Tertiary Alkyl Halides.

Project description:The efficient Pd-catalyzed Heck reaction of diverse tertiary alkyl halides with alkenes has been developed. Unactivated tertiary alkyl halides efficiently react at room temperature under visible light irradiation with no exogenous photosensitizers required. For activated tertiary alkyl halides, the same catalytic system works well without light. These methods offer a general access to electronically diverse alkenes possessing quaternary and functionalized tertiary allylic carbon centers. The substituents at these centers include alkyl-, carbalkoxy-, tosyl-, phosphonyl-, and boronate groups. It was also shown that the end-game mechanism of this transformation may vary depending on the type of the substrates used.

Fused 1,2-Diboraoxazoles Based on <i>closo</i>-Decaborate Anion-Novel Members of Diboroheterocycle Class.

Project description:The novel members of the 1,2-diboraoxazoles family have been obtained. In the present work, we have carried out the intramolecular ring-closure reaction of borylated iminols of general type [B10H9N=C(OH)R]- (R = Me, Et, nPr, iPr, tBu, Ph, 4-Cl-Ph). This process is conducted in mild conditions with 83-87% yields. The solid-state structures of two salts of 1,2-diboraoxazoles were additionally investigated by X-ray crystallography. In addition, the phenomena of bonding interactions in the 1,2-diboraoxazole cycles have been theoretically studied by the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules analysis. Several local and integral topological properties of the electron density involved in these interactions have been computed.

The reaction of papain with Ellman's reagent (5,5'-dithiobis- (2-nitrobenzoate) dianion).

Project description:1. The report by Robyt et al. (1971) that the 2-nitro-5-mercaptobenzoate dianion (Nbs(2-)) produced by reaction of papain with the 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate) dianion (Nbs(2) (2-); Ellman's reagent) cleaves the three disulphide bonds in papain is shown to be incorrect. 2. When partially active papain containing approx. 0.4 mol of thiol/mol of protein is incubated with excess of Nbs(2) (2-) at pH8, Nbs(2) (2-) reacts with the protein in an amount stoicheiometric with the cysteinyl thiol group of papain to produce Nbs(2-) in an amount stoicheiometric with the original papain cysteinyl thiol group, and the catalytically inactive mixed disulphide, papain-Nbs(-). 3. Papain catalyses the hydrolysis of Nbs(2) (2-) at pH10.5 probably by nucleophilic catalysis involving the enzyme's thiol group. 4. These results cast very serious doubts on the claim by Robyt et al. (1971) to have established a new general method for the determination of cystinyl disulphide residues in proteins.

New type of RNA virus replication inhibitor based on decahydro-closo-decaborate anion containing amino acid ester pendant group.

Project description:In this work, a synthetic approach to prepare an example of new class of the derivatives of the closo-decaborate anion with amino acids detached from the boron cluster by pendant group has been proposed and implemented. Compound Na2[B10H9-O(CH2)4C(O)-His-OMe] was isolated and characterized. This compound has an inorganic hydrophobic core which is the 10-vertex boron cage and the -O(CH2)4C(O)-His-OMe organic substituent. It has been shown to possess strong antiviral activity in vitro against modern strains of A/H1N1 virus at 10 and 5 µg/mL. The compound has been found to be non-cytotoxic up to 160 µg/mL. At the same time, the compound has been found to be inactive against SARS-CoV-2, indicating specific activity against RNA virus replication. Molecular docking of the target derivative of the closo-decaborate anion with a model of the transmembrane region of the M2 protein has been performed and the mechanism of its antiviral action is discussed.

Photochemical reaction cycle transitions during anion channelrhodopsin gating.

Project description:A recently discovered family of natural anion channelrhodopsins (ACRs) have the highest conductance among channelrhodopsins and exhibit exclusive anion selectivity, which make them efficient inhibitory tools for optogenetics. We report analysis of flash-induced absorption changes in purified wild-type and mutant ACRs, and of photocurrents they generate in HEK293 cells. Contrary to cation channelrhodopsins (CCRs), the ion conducting state of ACRs develops in an L-like intermediate that precedes the deprotonation of the retinylidene Schiff base (i.e., formation of an M intermediate). Channel closing involves two mechanisms leading to depletion of the conducting L-like state: (i) Fast closing is caused by a reversible L?M conversion. Glu-68 in Guillardia theta ACR1 plays an important role in this transition, likely serving as a counterion and proton acceptor at least at high and neutral pH. Incomplete suppression of M formation in the GtACR1_E68Q mutant indicates the existence of an alternative proton acceptor. (ii) Slow closing of the channel parallels irreversible depletion of the M-like and, hence, L-like state. Mutation of Cys-102 that strongly affected slow channel closing slowed the photocycle to the same extent. The L and M intermediates were in equilibrium in C102A as in the WT. In the position of Glu-123 in channelrhodopsin-2, ACRs contain a noncarboxylate residue, the mutation of which to Glu produced early Schiff base proton transfer and strongly inhibited channel activity. The data reveal fundamental differences between natural ACR and CCR conductance mechanisms and their underlying photochemistry, further confirming that these proteins form distinct families of rhodopsin channels.
