On the Dynamics of the Carbon-Bromine Bond Dissociation in the 1-Bromo-2-Methylnaphthalene Radical Anion.

ABSTRACT: This paper studies the mechanism of electrochemically induced carbon-bromine dissociation in 1-Br-2-methylnaphalene in the reduction regime. In particular, the bond dissociation of the relevant radical anion is disassembled at a molecular level, exploiting quantum mechanical calculations including steady-state, equilibrium and dissociation dynamics via dynamic reaction coordinate (DRC) calculations. DRC is a molecular-dynamic-based calculation relying on an ab initio potential surface. This is to achieve a detailed picture of the dissociation process in an elementary molecular detail. From a thermodynamic point of view, all the reaction paths examined are energetically feasible. The obtained results suggest that the carbon halogen bond dissociates following the first electron uptake follow a stepwise mechanism. Indeed, the formation of the bromide anion and an organic radical occurs. The latter reacts to form a binaphthalene intrinsically chiral dimer. This paper is respectfully dedicated to Professors Anny Jutand and Christian Amatore for their outstanding contribution in the field of electrochemical catalysis and electrosynthesis.

Cascade radical reaction of substrates with a carbon-carbon triple bond as a radical acceptor.

Project description:The limitation of hydroxamate ester as a chiral Lewis acid coordination moiety was first shown in an intermolecular reaction involving a radical addition and sequential allylation processes. Next, the effect of hydroxamate ester was studied in the cascade addition-cyclization-trapping reaction of substrates with a carbon-carbon triple bond as a radical acceptor. When substrates with a methacryloyl moiety and a carbon-carbon triple bond as two polarity-different radical acceptors were employed, the cascade reaction proceeded effectively. A high level of enantioselectivity was also obtained by a proper combination of chiral Lewis acid and these substrates.

Bromine Radical Catalysis by Energy Transfer Photosensitization.

Project description:We report here a mild, safe, and user-friendly bromine radical catalysis system that enables efficient [3 + 2] cycloaddition of diversely substituted vinyl- and ethynylcyclopropanes with a broad range of alkenes, including drug-like molecules and pharmaceuticals. Key to the success is the use of photosensitizing triplet-state β-fragmentation of a judiciously selected precatalyst, cinnamyl bromide, to generate bromine radicals in a controlled manner using parts per million-level photocatalyst (i.e., 4CzIPN) loading.

A C-C bonded phenoxyl radical dimer with a zero bond dissociation free energy.

Project description:The 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenoxyl radical is shown to dimerize in solution and in the solid state. The X-ray crystal structure of the dimer, the first for a para-coupled phenoxyl radical, revealed a bond length of 1.6055(23) Å for the C4-C4a bond. This is significantly longer than typical C-C bonds. Solution equilibrium studies using both optical and IR spectroscopies showed that the Keq for dissociation is 1.3 ± 0.2 M at 20 °C, indicating a C-C bond dissociation free energy of -0.15 ± 0.1 kcal mol(-1). Van't Hoff analysis gave an exceptionally small bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) of 6.1 ± 0.5 kcal mol(-1). To our knowledge, this is the smallest BDE measured for a C-C bond. This very weak bond shows a large deviation from the correlation of C-C bond lengths and strengths, but the computed force constant follows Badger's rule.

Directed-Backbone Dissociation Following Bond-Specific Carbon-Sulfur UVPD at 213 nm.

Project description:Ultraviolet photodissociation or UVPD is an increasingly popular option for tandem-mass spectrometry experiments. UVPD can be carried out at many wavelengths, and it is important to understand how the results will be impacted by this choice. Here, we explore the utility of 213 nm photons for initiating bond-selective fragmentation. It is found that bonds previously determined to be labile at 266 nm, including carbon-iodine and sulfur-sulfur bonds, can also be cleaved with high selectivity at 213 nm. In addition, many carbon-sulfur bonds that are not subject to direct dissociation at 266 nm can be selectively fragmented at 213 nm. This capability can be used to site-specifically create alaninyl radicals that direct backbone dissociation at the radical site, creating diagnostic d-ions. Furthermore, the additional carbon-sulfur bond fragmentation capability leads to signature triplets for fragmentation of disulfide bonds. Absorption of amide bonds can enhance dissociation of nearby labile carbon-sulfur bonds and can be used for stochastic backbone fragmentation typical of UVPD experiments at shorter wavelengths. Several potential applications of the bond-selective fragmentation chemistry observed at 213 nm are discussed. Graphical Abstract ?.

Carbon-carbon bond formation in the reaction of hydrated carbon dioxide radical anions with 3-butyn-1-ol

Project description:Electrochemical activation of carbon dioxide in aqueous solution is a promising way to use carbon dioxide as a C1 building block. Mechanistic studies in the gas phase play an important role to understand the inherent chemical reactivity of the carbon dioxide radical anion. Here, the reactivity of CO2•?(H2O)n with 3-butyn-1-ol is investigated by Fourier transform ion cyclotron (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry and quantum chemical calculations. Carbon-carbon bond formation takes places, but is associated with a barrier. Therefore, bond formation may require uptake of several butynol molecules. The water molecules slowly evaporate from the cluster due to the absorption of room temperature black-body radiation. When all water molecules are lost, butynol evaporation sets in. In this late stage of the reaction, side reactions occur including H• atom transfer and elimination of HOCO•.

Reactivity of superoxide radical anion with cyclic nitrones: role of intramolecular H-bond and electrostatic effects.

Project description:Limitations exist among the commonly used cyclic nitrone spin traps for biological free radical detection using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The design of new spin traps for biological free radical detection and identification using EPR spectroscopy has been a major challenge due to the lack of systematic and rational approaches to their design. In this work, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and stopped-flow kinetics were employed to predict the reactivity of functionalized spin traps with superoxide radical anion (O2*-). Functional groups provide versatility and can potentially improve spin-trap reactivity, adduct stability, and target specificity. The effect of functional group substitution at the C-5 position of pyrroline N-oxides on spin-trap reactivity toward O2*- was computationally rationalized at the PCM/B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) and PCM/mPW1K/6-31+G(d,p) levels of theory. Calculated free energies and rate constants for the reactivity of O2*- with model nitrones were found to correlate with the experimentally obtained rate constants using stopped-flow and EPR spectroscopic methods. New insights into the nucleophilic nature of O2*- addition to nitrones as well as the role of intramolecular hydrogen bonding of O2*- in facilitating this reaction are discussed. This study shows that using an N-monoalkylsubstituted amide or an ester as attached groups on the nitrone can be ideal in molecular tethering for improved spin-trapping properties and could pave the way for improved in vivo radical detection at the site of superoxide formation.

Bromine radical as a visible-light-mediated polarity-reversal catalyst.

Project description:Polarity-reversal catalysts enable otherwise sluggish or completely ineffective reactions which are characterized by unfavorable polar effects between radicals and substrates. We herein disclose that when irradiated by visible light, bromine can behave as a polarity-reversal catalyst. Hydroacylation of vinyl arenes, a three-component cascade transformation and deuteration of aldehydes were each achieved in a metal-free manner without initiators by using inexpensive N-bromosuccinimide as the precatalyst. Light is essential to generate and maintain the active bromine radical during the reaction process. Another key to success is that HBr can behave as an effective hydrogen donor to turn over the catalytic cycles.

Do carbon nanotubes catalyse bromine/bromide redox chemistry?

Project description:The redox chemistries of both the bromide oxidation and bromine reduction reactions are studied at single multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as a function of their electrical potential allowing inference of the electron transfer kinetics of the Br2/Br- redox couple, widely used in batteries. The nanotubes are shown to be mildly catalytic compared to a glassy carbon surface but much less as inferred from conventional voltammetry on porous ensembles of MWCNTs where the mixed transport regime masks the true catalytic response.

Globins Scavenge Sulfur Trioxide Anion Radical.

Project description:Ferrous myoglobin was oxidized by sulfur trioxide anion radical (STAR) during the free radical chain oxidation of sulfite. Oxidation was inhibited by the STAR scavenger GSH and by the heme ligand CO. Bimolecular rate constants for the reaction of STAR with several ferrous globins and biomolecules were determined by kinetic competition. Reaction rate constants for myoglobin, hemoglobin, neuroglobin, and flavohemoglobin are large at 38, 120, 2,600, and ? 7,500 × 10(6) m(-1) s(-1), respectively, and correlate with redox potentials. Measured rate constants for O2, GSH, ascorbate, and NAD(P)H are also large at ?100, 10, 130, and 30 × 10(6) m(-1) s(-1), respectively, but nevertheless allow for favorable competition by globins and a capacity for STAR scavenging in vivo. Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacking sulfite oxidase and deleted of flavohemoglobin showed an O2-dependent growth impairment with nonfermentable substrates that was exacerbated by sulfide, a precursor to mitochondrial sulfite formation. Higher O2 exposures inactivated the superoxide-sensitive mitochondrial aconitase in cells, and hypoxia elicited both aconitase and NADP(+)-isocitrate dehydrogenase activity losses. Roles for STAR-derived peroxysulfate radical, superoxide radical, and sulfo-NAD(P) in the mechanism of STAR toxicity and flavohemoglobin protection in yeast are suggested.

Anomalous bond length behavior and a new solid phase of bromine under pressure.

Project description:The behavior of diatomic molecular solids under pressure have attracted great interest and been extensively studied. Under ambient pressure, the structure of bromine is known to be a molecular phase (phase I). With increasing pressure, it transforms into an incommensurate phase (phase V) before eventually to a monoatomic phase (phase II). However, between phases I and V, the interatomic distance was found to first increase with pressure and then decreased abruptly. This anomalous bond length behavior is accompanied by the splitting of the Raman bands. These phenomena have not been resolved. Here we suggest a new solid phase that explains the Raman spectra. Furthermore, the anomalous bond length behavior is found to be the result of subtle second neighbor intermolecular interactions and is an intrinsic property of bromine in molecular phases.
