Synthetic exploration of sulfinyl radicals using sulfinyl sulfones.

ABSTRACT: Sulfinyl radicals - one of the fundamental classes of S-centered radicals - have eluded synthetic application in organic chemistry for over 60 years, despite their potential to assemble valuable sulfoxide compounds. Here we report the successful generation and use of sulfinyl radicals in a dual radical addition/radical coupling with unsaturated hydrocarbons, where readily-accessed sulfinyl sulfones serve as the sulfinyl radical precursor. The strategy provides an entry to a variety of previously inaccessible linear and cyclic disulfurized adducts in a single step, and demonstrates tolerance to an extensive range of hydrocarbons and functional groups. Experimental and theoretical mechanistic investigations suggest that these reactions proceed through sequential sulfonyl and sulfinyl radical addition.

Decarboxylative allylation using sulfones as surrogates of alkanes.

Project description:Alpha-sulfonyl functional groups are traceless activating groups that facilitate catalytic decarboxylative allylations in high yield yet can be cleaved to allow the synthesis of simple allylated alkanes. Substrate studies suggest that decarboxylation to form an alpha-sulfonyl anion is rate-limiting. Furthermore, the anion is formed regiospecifically under formally neutral conditions.

Conversion of Methyl Ketones and Methyl Sulfones into α-Deutero-α,α-Difluoromethyl Ketones and α-Deutero-α,α-Difluoromethyl Sulfones in Three Synthetic Steps.

Project description:Deuterodifluoromethyl ketones and sulfones were assembled in three synthetic steps from methyl ketones and sulfones, respectively. The key synthetic transformation is the deuteration of the difluorocarbanion generated by the release of trifluoroacetate from highly α-fluorinated gem-diols. High levels of deuterium on the "CF2D" group were routinely observed. This strategy is mild and versatile and it can be applied to both ketones and sulfones without additional concerns of over- or under-fluorination. Additional examples address issues of over-deuteration when compounds with other acidic protons are subjected to the reaction conditions. This process not only demonstrates a new method to install a "CF2D" group but also extends the scope of trifluoroacetate release to sulfones.

Two-Step Azidoalkenylation of Terminal Alkenes Using Iodomethyl Sulfones.

Project description:The radical azidoalkylation of alkenes that was initially developed with ?-iodoesters and ?-iodoketones was extended to other activated iodomethyl derivatives. By using iodomethyl aryl sulfones, the preparation of ?-azidosulfones was easily achieved. Facile conversion of these azidosulfones to homoallylic azides using a Julia-Kocienski olefination reaction is reported, making the whole process equivalent to the azidoalkenylation of terminal alkenes.

Fully synthetic neuroimaging data for replication and exploration.

Project description:Scientific transparency, data exploration, and education are advanced through data sharing. However, risk for disclosure of personal information and institutional data sharing regulations can impede human subject/patient data sharing and thus limit open science initiatives. Sharing fully synthetic data is an alternative when it is not possible to share real or observed data. Here we describe a data sharing approach that borrows principles and methods from multiple imputation to replace observed values with synthetic values, thereby creating a fully synthetic neuroimaging dataset that accurately represents the covariance structure of the observed dataset. Predictor tables composed of demographic, site, behavioral and total intracranial volume (ICV) variables from 264 pediatric cases were used to create synthetic predictor tables, which were then used to synthesize gray matter images derived from T1-weighted data. The synthetic predictor tables demonstrated pooled variance and statistical estimates that closely approximated the observed data, as reflected in measures of efficiency and statistical bias. Similarly, the synthetic gray matter data accurately represented the variance and voxel-level associations with predictor variables (age, sex, verbal IQ, and ICV). The magnitude and spatial distribution of gray matter effects in the observed imaging data were replicated in the pooled results from the synthetic datasets. This approach for generating fully synthetic neuroimaging data has widespread potential for data sharing, including replication, new discovery, and education. Fully synthetic neuroimaging datasets can enable data-sharing because it accurately represents patterns of variance in the original data, while diminishing the risk of privacy disclosures that can accompany neuroimaging data sharing.

Engineering stable radicals using photochromic triggers.

Project description:Long-standing radical species have raised noteworthy concerns in organic functional chemistry and materials. However, there remains a substantial challenge to produce long-standing radicals by light, because of the structural dilemmas between photoproduction and stabilization. Herein, we present a pyrrole and chloride assisted photochromic structure to address this issue. In this well-selected system, production and stabilization of a radical species were simultaneously found accompanied by a photochemical process in chloroform. Theoretical study and mechanism construction indicate that the designed ?-system provides a superior spin-delocalization effect and a large steric effect, mostly avoiding possible consumptions and making the radical stable for hours even under an oxygen-saturated condition. Moreover, this radical system can be applied for a visualized and quantitative detection towards peroxides, such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl, hydrogen peroxide, and ozone. As the detection relies on a radical capturing mechanism, a higher sensing rate was achieved compared to traditional redox techniques for peroxide detection.

Highly efficient synthesis of 3,4-diarylbutadiene sulfones using Heck-Matsuda reaction.

Project description:For the first time we describe a general method for the synthesis of previously not synthesized unsymmetrical 3,4-diarylbutadiene sulfones which can be stable convenient precursors for 2,3-diaryl-1,3-butadienes. Our method for arylation of butadiene sulfones via Heck-Matsuda reaction allows to obtain unsymmetrical 3,4-diarylbutadiene sulfones with a variety of alkyl, alkoxy, nitro, ethoxycarbonyl, perfluoroalkyl and halogen substituents (30 examples) in very good yields using readily available reagents and catalysts.

Stereospecific decarboxylative allylation of sulfones.

Project description:Allyl sulfonylacetic esters undergo highly stereospecific, palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation. The reaction allows the stereospecific formation of tertiary homoallylic sulfones in high yield. In contrast to related reactions that proceed at -100 degrees C and require highly basic preformed organometallics, the decarboxylative coupling described herein occurs under mild nonbasic conditions and requires no stoichiometric additives. Allylation of the intermediate alpha-sulfonyl anion is more rapid than racemization, leading to a highly enantiospecific process. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the barrier for racemization is 9.9 kcal/mol, so the barrier for allylation must be <9.9 kcal/mol.

The Exploration of Aroyltrimethylgermane as Potent Synthetic Origins and Their Preparation.

Project description:The synthetic utilities of acylgermanes are surprisingly rarely explored compared with their analogues. In this communication, the survey of aroyltrimethylgermane as potent synthetic origins has been studied. A variety of novel chemical transformations have been realized, including using the acylgermane group as a directing group in Rh-catalyzed aromatic C-H alkenylation reaction and Ir-catalyzed aromatic C-H amidation reactions. Additionally, a general approach for acylgermanes preparation has been established as well. The catalytic system proceeds effectively in the presence of Pd(OAc)2/BINOL-based monophosphite (L11) and allows for the straightforward access to a wide range of functionalized acylgermanes in high yields.

Spin scavenging analysis of myoglobin protein-centered radicals using stable nitroxide radicals: characterization of oxoammonium cation-induced modifications.

Project description:Spin scavenging combined with chromatographic and mass spectrometric procedures can, in principle, be employed to detect and identify protein-based radicals within complex biological matrices. This approach is based on the well-known ability of stable synthetic nitroxide radicals to scavenge carbon-centered radicals, forming stable diamagnetic addition products. Hence, characterization of these addition products would allow for the identification of specific free radicals. In the present work, we have explored the use of the stable nitroxide radical 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPOL) in scavenging protein-based radicals generated in a horse heart metmyoglobin/hydrogen peroxide (metMb/H(2)O(2)) system. Inclusion of a substoichiometric amount of TEMPOL in the metMb/H(2)O(2) system resulted in a complete loss of peroxyl and tyrosyl radical signals and effectively inhibited the formation of oxidatively damaged heme species, as monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance and reversed-phase liquid chromatography. Scavenging of globin radicals by TEMPOL did not lead to the formation of stable diamagnetic addition adducts; in fact, reversed-phase liquid chromatographic studies and oxygen electrode measurements indicated that TEMPOL acts as a catalyst and is recycled in this system. The oxoammonium cation generated in the course of this reaction initiated secondary reactions resulting in the formation of a free carbonyl on the N-terminal Gly-residue of the protein. This oxidative deamination was confirmed through the combined use of reversed-phase liquid chromatographic purification, tandem MS experiments, and chemical analysis (e.g., by use of 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine). The results reveal the pitfalls inherent in using stable nitroxide radicals such as TEMPOL to identify sites of radical formation on hemoproteins.

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Using 3D Aromatic Boron Cluster Radicals.

Project description:A set of two dodecaborate [B12(OR)12]1- radical cluster anions containing a dense layer of fluorinated end-groups provides nuclear spin hyperpolarization via the dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (D-DNP) technique. We show that these clusters can enhance 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals. Importantly, given the inherent radical delocalization in dodecaborate-based clusters, these species are compatible with reactive compounds such as Lewis acids, providing ∼1000-2000 times of signal enhancement for B(C6F5)3 in liquid state NMR spectroscopy experiments at 9.4 Tesla. This observation suggests that 3D aromatic radicals can provide advantages over the conventional radical species that are currently used for DNP such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) by showing superior chemical compatibility. The ability to hyperpolarize reactive compounds using [B12(OR)12]1- cluster radicals opens up new applications of reaction monitoring by D-DNP NMR spectroscopy, including the observation of catalytically active species in complex reaction mixtures.
