Remote Amino Acid Recognition Enables Effective Hydrogen Peroxide Activation at a Manganese Oxidation Catalyst.

ABSTRACT: Precise delivery of a proton plays a key role in O₂ activation at iron oxygenases, enabling the crucial O-O cleavage step that generates the oxidizing high-valent metal-oxo species. Such a proton is delivered by acidic residues that may either directly bind the iron center or lie in its second coordination sphere. Herein, a supramolecular strategy for enzyme-like H₂ O₂ activation at a biologically inspired manganese catalyst, with a nearly stoichiometric amount (1-1.5 equiv) of a carboxylic acid is disclosed. Key for this strategy is the incorporation of an α,ω-amino acid in the second coordination sphere of a chiral catalyst via remote ammonium-crown ether recognition. The properly positioned carboxylic acid function enables effective activation of hydrogen peroxide, leading to catalytic asymmetric epoxidation. Modulation of both amino acid and catalyst structure can tune the efficiency and the enantioselectivity of the reaction, and a study on the oxidative degradation pathway of the system is presented.

Manganese complex-catalyzed oxidation and oxidative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols by hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:The highly efficient catalytic oxidation and oxidative kinetic resolution (OKR) of secondary alcohols has been achieved using a synthetic manganese catalyst with low loading and hydrogen peroxide as an environmentally benign oxidant in the presence of a small amount of sulfuric acid as an additive. The product yields were high (up to 93%) for alcohol oxidation and the enantioselectivity was excellent (>90% ee) for the OKR of secondary alcohols. Mechanistic studies revealed that alcohol oxidation occurs via hydrogen atom (H-atom) abstraction from an α-CH bond of the alcohol substrate and a two-electron process by an electrophilic Mn-oxo species. Density functional theory calculations revealed the difference in reaction energy barriers for H-atom abstraction from the α-CH bonds of R- and S-enantiomers by a chiral high-valent manganese-oxo complex, supporting the experimental result from the OKR of secondary alcohols.

Oxidation of Disulfides to Thiolsulfinates with Hydrogen Peroxide and a Cyclic Seleninate Ester Catalyst.

Project description:Cyclic seleninate esters function as mimetics of the antioxidant selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase. They catalyze the reduction of harmful peroxides with thiols, which are converted to disulfides in the process. The possibility that the seleninate esters could also catalyze the further oxidation of disulfides to thiolsulfinates and other overoxidation products under these conditions was investigated. This has ramifications in potential medicinal applications of seleninate esters because of the possibility of catalyzing the unwanted oxidation of disulfide-containing spectator peptides and proteins. A variety of aryl and alkyl disulfides underwent facile oxidation with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of catalytic benzo-1,2-oxaselenolane Se-oxide affording the corresponding thiolsulfinates as the principal products. Unsymmetrical disulfides typically afforded mixtures of regioisomers. Lipoic acid and N,N'-dibenzoylcystine dimethyl ester were oxidized readily under similar conditions. Although isolated yields of the product thiolsulfinates were generally modest, these experiments demonstrate that the method nevertheless has preparative value because of its mild conditions. The results also confirm the possibility that cyclic seleninate esters could catalyze the further undesired oxidation of disulfides in vivo.

Tetranuclear Manganese Models of the OEC Displaying Hydrogen Bonding Interactions: Application to Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation to Hydrogen Peroxide.

Project description:Toward the development of structural and functional models of the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II, we report the synthesis of site-differentiated tetranuclear manganese complexes featuring three six-coordinate and one five-coordinate Mn centers. To incorporate biologically relevant second coordination sphere interactions, substituents capable of hydrogen bonding are included as pyrazolates with arylamine substituents. Complexes with terminal anionic ligands, OH- or Cl-, bound to the lower coordinate metal center are supported through the hydrogen-bonding network in a fashion reminiscent of the enzymatic active site. The hydroxide complex was found to be a competent electrocatalyst for O-O bond formation, a key transformation pertinent to the OEC. In an acetonitrile-water mixture, at neutral pH, electrochemical water oxidation to hydrogen peroxide was observed, albeit with low (15%) Faradaic yield, likely due to competing reactions with organics. In agreement, 9,10-dihydroanthracene is electrochemically oxidized in the presence of this cluster both via H-atom abstraction and oxygenation with ∼50% combined Faradaic yield.

Highly Enantioselective Oxidation of Nonactivated Aliphatic C-H Bonds with Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Manganese Complexes.

Project description:Monosubstituted cycloalkanes undergo regio- and enantioselective aliphatic C-H oxidation with H2O2 catalyzed by biologically inspired manganese catalysts. The reaction furnishes the corresponding ketones resulting from oxidation at C3 and C4 methylenic sites (K3 and K4, respectively) leading to a chiral desymmetrization that proceeds with remarkable enantioselectivity (64% ee) but modest regioselectivity at C3 (K3/K4 ≈ 2) for tert-butylcyclohexane, and with up to 96% ee and exquisite regioselectity toward C3 (up to K3/K4 > 99) when N-cyclohexylalkanamides are employed as substrates. Efficient H2O2 activation, high yield, and highly enantioselective C-H oxidation rely on the synergistic cooperation of a sterically bulky manganese catalyst and an oxidatively robust alkanoic acid. This represents the first example of nonenzymatic highly enantioselective oxidation of nonactivated methylenic sites. Furthermore, the principles of catalyst design disclosed in this work constitute a unique platform for further development of stereoselective C-H oxidation reactions.

Spectral Signatures of Oxidation States in a Manganese-Oxo Cubane Water Oxidation Catalyst.

Project description:We report IR and UV/Vis spectroscopic signatures that allow discriminating between the oxidation states of the manganese-based water oxidation catalyst [(Mn4 O4 )(V4 O13 )(OAc)3 ]3- . Simulated IR spectra show that V=O stretching vibrations in the 900-1000 cm-1 region shift consistently by about 20 cm-1 per oxidation equivalent. Multiple bands in the 1450-1550 cm-1 region also change systematically upon oxidation/reduction. The computed UV/Vis spectra predict that the spectral range above 350 nm is characteristic of the managanese-oxo cubane oxidation state, whereas transitions at higher energy are due to the vanadate ligand. The presence of absorption signals above 680 nm is indicative of the presence of MnIII atoms. Spectroelectrochemical measurements of the oxidation from [Mn 2III Mn 2IV ] to [Mn 4IV ] showed that the change in oxidation state can indeed be tracked by both IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy.

Oxidation of deuteroferrihaem by hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:1. The oxidation of deuteroferrihaem by H(2)O(2) to bile pigment and CO was studied both by stopped-flow kinetic spectrophotometry and mass spectrometry, at 25 degrees C, I=0.1m. 2. Spectrophotometric studies imply that, at constant pH, the rate of bile pigment formation is first-order with respect to [H(2)O(2)] and also proportional to [deuteroferrihaem monomer]. The effect of pH on the apparent second-order rate constant suggests that acid-ionization of deuteroferrihaem monomer is important in the reaction mechanism. 3. The relative rates of formation of O(2) (from catalytic decomposition of H(2)O(2)) and CO (from oxidation of ferrihaem) have been measured by mass spectrometry. The results are in excellent agreement with those obtained by combining kinetic data for catalytic decomposition (Jones et al., 1973, preceding paper) with the spectrophotometric results for deuteroferrihaem oxidation.

Substrate oxidation enhances the electrochemical production of hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is electrochemically produced via oxygen (O2) reduction on a carbon cathode surface. In order to enhance the production of H2O2, anodic loss pathways, which significantly reduce the overall H2O2 production rate, should be inhibited. In this study, we investigate the effects of organic electron donors (i.e., typical chemical contaminants) on the anodic loss pathways of H2O2 in a single-cell electrochemical reactor that employs an anode composed of TiO2 over-coated on a mixed-metal oxide ohmic contact catalyst, Ir0.7Ta0.3O2, deposited on a Ti-metal that is coupled with a graphite rod cathode in a sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) electrolyte that is saturated with oxygen (O2). Organic electron donors are shown to enhance the electrochemical production of H2O2, while simultaneously undergoing oxidative degradation. The observed positive effect of organic electron donors on the electrochemical production of H2O2 is due in part to a preferential adsorption of organic substrates on the TiO2 outer layer of the anode. The sorption of the organic electron donors inhibits the formation of surficial titanium hydroperoxo species ([bond, triple bond]Ti-OOH) on the anode surface. The organic sorbates also act as scavengers of surface-bound hydroxyl radical [bond, triple bond]Ti-OH. As a result, the decomposition of H2O2 on the anode surface is significantly reduced. The cathodic production rate of H2O2 at low pH is enhanced due to proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) to O2, while the anodic decomposition of H2O2 is inhibited due to electrostatic interactions between negatively-charged organic substrates and a positively-charged outer surface of the anode (TiO2 pHzpc = 5.8) at low pH.

Hydrogen Peroxide Disproportionation with Manganese Macrocyclic Complexes of Cyclen and Pyclen.

Project description:The catalase family of enzymes, which include a variety with a binuclear manganese active site, mitigate the risk from reactive oxygen species by facilitating the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide into molecular oxygen and water. In this work, hydrogen peroxide disproportionation using complexes formed between manganese and cyclen or pyclen were investigated due to the spectroscopic similarities with the native MnCAT enzyme. Potentiometric titrations were used to construct speciation diagrams that identify the manganese complex compositions at different pH values. Each complex behaves as a functional mimic of catalase enzymes. UV-visible spectroscopic investigations of the H2O2 decomposition reaction yielded information about the structure of the initial catalyst and intermediates that include monomeric and dimeric species. The results indicate that rigidity imparted by the pyridine ring of pyclen is a key factor in increased TON and TOF values measured compared to cyclen.

Modular advanced oxidation process enabled by cathodic hydrogen peroxide production.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is frequently used in combination with ultraviolet (UV) light to treat trace organic contaminants in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). In small-scale applications, such as wellhead and point-of-entry water treatment systems, the need to maintain a stock solution of concentrated H2O2 increases the operational cost and complicates the operation of AOPs. To avoid the need for replenishing a stock solution of H2O2, a gas diffusion electrode was used to generate low concentrations of H2O2 directly in the water prior to its exposure to UV light. Following the AOP, the solution was passed through an anodic chamber to lower the solution pH and remove the residual H2O2. The effectiveness of the technology was evaluated using a suite of trace contaminants that spanned a range of reactivity with UV light and hydroxyl radical (HO(•)) in three different types of source waters (i.e., simulated groundwater, simulated surface water, and municipal wastewater effluent) as well as a sodium chloride solution. Irrespective of the source water, the system produced enough H2O2 to treat up to 120 L water d(-1). The extent of transformation of trace organic contaminants was affected by the current density and the concentrations of HO(•) scavengers in the source water. The electrical energy per order (EEO) ranged from 1 to 3 kWh m(-3), with the UV lamp accounting for most of the energy consumption. The gas diffusion electrode exhibited high efficiency for H2O2 production over extended periods and did not show a diminution in performance in any of the matrices.

Activation by oxidation and ligand exchange in a molecular manganese vanadium oxide water oxidation catalyst.

Project description:Despite their technological importance for water splitting, the reaction mechanisms of most water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) are poorly understood. This paper combines theoretical and experimental methods to reveal mechanistic insights into the reactivity of the highly active molecular manganese vanadium oxide WOC [Mn4V4O17(OAc)3]3- in aqueous acetonitrile solutions. Using density functional theory together with electrochemistry and IR-spectroscopy, we propose a sequential three-step activation mechanism including a one-electron oxidation of the catalyst from [Mn2 3+Mn2 4+] to [Mn3+Mn3 4+], acetate-to-water ligand exchange, and a second one-electron oxidation from [Mn3+Mn3 4+] to [Mn4 4+]. Analysis of several plausible ligand exchange pathways shows that nucleophilic attack of water molecules along the Jahn-Teller axis of the Mn3+ centers leads to significantly lower activation barriers compared with attack at Mn4+ centers. Deprotonation of one water ligand by the leaving acetate group leads to the formation of the activated species [Mn4V4O17(OAc)2(H2O)(OH)]- featuring one H2O and one OH ligand. Redox potentials based on the computed intermediates are in excellent agreement with electrochemical measurements at various solvent compositions. This intricate interplay between redox chemistry and ligand exchange controls the formation of the catalytically active species. These results provide key reactivity information essential to further study bio-inspired molecular WOCs and solid-state manganese oxide catalysts.
