N-Ammonium Ylide Mediators for Electrochemical C-H Oxidation.

ABSTRACT: The site-specific oxidation of strong C(sp³)-H bonds is of uncontested utility in organic synthesis. From simplifying access to metabolites and late-stage diversification of lead compounds to truncating retrosynthetic plans, there is a growing need for new reagents and methods for achieving such a transformation in both academic and industrial circles. One main drawback of current chemical reagents is the lack of diversity with regard to structure and reactivity that prevents a combinatorial approach for rapid screening to be employed. In that regard, directed evolution still holds the greatest promise for achieving complex C-H oxidations in a variety of complex settings. Herein we present a rationally designed platform that provides a step toward this challenge using N-ammonium ylides as electrochemically driven oxidants for site-specific, chemoselective C(sp³)-H oxidation. By taking a first-principles approach guided by computation, these new mediators were identified and rapidly expanded into a library using ubiquitous building blocks and trivial synthesis techniques. The ylide-based approach to C-H oxidation exhibits tunable selectivity that is often exclusive to this class of oxidants and can be applied to real-world problems in the agricultural and pharmaceutical sectors.

Benzylic Ammonium Ylide Mediated Epoxidations.

Project description:A high yielding synthesis of stilbene oxides using ammonium ylides has been developed. It turned out that the amine leaving group plays a crucial role as trimethylamine gives higher yields than DABCO or quinuclidine. The amine group also influences the diastereoselectivity, and detailed DFT calculations to understand the key parameters of these reactions have been carried out.

Electrochemical Functional-Group-Tolerant Shono-type Oxidation of Cyclic Carbamates Enabled by Aminoxyl Mediators.

Project description:An electrochemical method has been developed for ?-oxygenations of cyclic carbamates by using a bicyclic aminoxyl as a mediator and water as the nucleophile. The mediated electrochemical process enables substrate oxygenation to proceed at a potential that is approximately 1?V lower than the redox potential of the carbamate substrate. This feature allows for functional-group compatibility that is inaccessible with conventional Shono oxidations, which proceed by direct electrochemical substrate oxidation. This reaction also represents the first ?-functionalization of non-activated cyclic carbamates with oxoammonium oxidants.

Towards a General Understanding of Carbonyl-Stabilised Ammonium Ylide-Mediated Epoxidation Reactions.

Project description:The key factors for carbonyl-stabilised ammonium ylide-mediated epoxidation reactions were systematically investigated by experimental and computational means and the hereby obtained energy profiles provide explanations for the observed experimental results. In addition, we were able to identify the first tertiary amine-based chiral auxiliary that allows for high enantioselectivities and high yields for such epoxidation reactions.

On the origin of the stereoselectivity in chiral amide-based ammonium ylide-mediated epoxidations.

Project description:AbstractDetailed DFT studies provide an in-depth mechanistic understanding for the use of chiral amide-based ammonium ylides in epoxidation reactions. It is shown that the used chiral auxiliary efficiently shields one face of the ylide, which thus results in an extraordinarily high stereoselectivity giving only one trans-isomer with perfect control of the absolute configuration.Graphical abstract

Electrochemical oxidation of ferricyanide.

Project description:We report the electrochemical oxidation of ferricyanide, [FeIII(CN)6]3- and characterised the oxidation product by in-situ FTIR and XAS spectroelectrochemistry methods. Oxidation of [FeIII(CN)6]3- is proposed to proceed via a tentative Fe(IV) intermediate that undergoes reduction elimination to give cis-[FeIII(CN)4(CH3CN)2]1- as stable product in acetonitrile. Speciation of the oxidation product by DFT calculations is underpinned by good agreement to experimental data.

Nitric oxide-dependent anaerobic ammonium oxidation.

Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) has important functions in biology and atmospheric chemistry as a toxin, signaling molecule, ozone depleting agent and the precursor of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Although NO is a potent oxidant, and was available on Earth earlier than oxygen, it is unclear whether NO can be used by microorganisms for growth. Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria couple nitrite reduction to ammonium oxidation with NO and hydrazine as intermediates, and produce N2 and nitrate. Here, we show that the anammox bacterium Kuenenia stuttgartiensis is able to grow in the absence of nitrite by coupling ammonium oxidation to NO reduction, and produce only N2. Under these growth conditions, the transcription of proteins necessary for NO generation is downregulated. Our work has potential implications in the control of N2O and NO emissions from natural and manmade ecosystems, where anammox bacteria contribute significantly to N2 release to the atmosphere. We hypothesize that microbial NO-dependent ammonium oxidation may have existed on early Earth.

Nitrate-dependent ferrous iron oxidation by anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria.

Project description:We examined nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation mediated by anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria. Enrichment cultures of "Candidatus Brocadia sinica" anaerobically oxidized Fe(2+) and reduced NO3(-) to nitrogen gas at rates of 3.7 ± 0.2 and 1.3 ± 0.1 (mean ± standard deviation [SD]) nmol mg protein(-1) min(-1), respectively (37°C and pH 7.3). This nitrate reduction rate is an order of magnitude lower than the anammox activity of "Ca. Brocadia sinica" (10 to 75 nmol NH4(+) mg protein(-1) min(-1)). A (15)N tracer experiment demonstrated that coupling of nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation and the anammox reaction was responsible for producing nitrogen gas from NO3(-) by "Ca. Brocadia sinica." The activities of nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation were dependent on temperature and pH, and the highest activities were seen at temperatures of 30 to 45°C and pHs ranging from 5.9 to 9.8. The mean half-saturation constant for NO3(-) ± SD of "Ca. Brocadia sinica" was determined to be 51 ± 21 ?M. Nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation was further demonstrated by another anammox bacterium, "Candidatus Scalindua sp.," whose rates of Fe(2+) oxidation and NO3(-) reduction were 4.7 ± 0.59 and 1.45 ± 0.05 nmol mg protein(-1) min(-1), respectively (20°C and pH 7.3). Co-occurrence of nitrate-dependent Fe(2+) oxidation and the anammox reaction decreased the molar ratios of consumed NO2(-) to consumed NH4(+) (?NO2(-)/?NH4(+)) and produced NO3(-) to consumed NH4(+) (?NO3(-)/?NH4(+)). These reactions are preferable to the application of anammox processes for wastewater treatment.

Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation in Acidic Red Soils.

Project description:Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) has been proven to be an important nitrogen removal process in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly paddy soils. However, the contribution of anammox in acidic red soils to nitrogen loss has not been well-documented to date. Here, we investigated the activity, abundance, and distribution of anammox bacteria in red soils collected from nine provinces of Southern China. High-throughput sequencing analysis showed that Candidatus Brocadia dominates the anammox bacterial community (93.03% of sequence reads). Quantification of the hydrazine synthase gene (hzsB) and anammox 16S rRNA gene indicated that the abundance of anammox bacteria ranged from 6.20 × 106 to 1.81 × 109 and 4.81 × 106 to 4.54 × 108 copies per gram of dry weight, respectively. Contributions to nitrogen removal by anammox were measured by a 15N isotope-pairing assay. Anammox rates in red soil ranged from 0.01 to 0.59 nmol N g-1 h-1, contributing 16.67-53.27% to N2 production in the studied area, and the total amount of removed nitrogen by anammox was estimated at 2.33 Tg N per year in the natural red soils of southern China. Pearson correlation analyses revealed that the distribution of anammox bacteria significantly correlated with the concentration of nitrate and pH, whereas the abundance and activity of anammox bacteria were significantly influenced by the nitrate and total nitrogen concentrations. Our findings demonstrate that Candidatus Brocadia dominates anammox bacterial communities in acidic red soils and plays an important role in nitrogen loss of the red soil in Southern China.
