Aminodiols via stereocontrolled oxidation of methyleneaziridines.

ABSTRACT: A highly diastereoselective Ru-catalyzed oxidation/reduction sequence of bicyclic methyleneaziridines provides a facile route to complex 1-amino-2,3-diol motifs. The relative anti stereochemistry between the amine and the vicinal alcohol are proposed to result from 1,3-bischelation in the transition state by the C1 and C3 heteroatoms.

Oxidation of organotrifluoroborates via oxone.

Project description:A method for the oxidation of organotrifluoroborates using Oxone was developed. A variety of aryl-, heteroaryl-, alkenyl-, and alkyltrifluoroborates were converted into the corresponding oxidized products in excellent yields. This method proved to be tolerant of a broad range of functional groups, and in secondary alkyl substrates it was demonstrated to be completely stereospecific.

Bacterial chemolithoautotrophy via manganese oxidation.

Project description:Manganese is one of the most abundant elements on Earth. The oxidation of manganese has long been theorized1-yet has not been demonstrated2-4-to fuel the growth of chemolithoautotrophic microorganisms. Here we refine an enrichment culture that exhibits exponential growth dependent on Mn(II) oxidation to a co-culture of two microbial species. Oxidation required viable bacteria at permissive temperatures, which resulted in the generation of small nodules of manganese oxide with which the cells associated. The majority member of the culture-which we designate 'Candidatus Manganitrophus noduliformans'-is affiliated to the phylum Nitrospirae (also known as Nitrospirota), but is distantly related to known species of Nitrospira and Leptospirillum. We isolated the minority member, a betaproteobacterium that does not oxidize Mn(II) alone, and designate it Ramlibacter lithotrophicus. Stable-isotope probing revealed 13CO2 fixation into cellular biomass that was dependent upon Mn(II) oxidation. Transcriptomic analysis revealed candidate pathways for coupling extracellular manganese oxidation to aerobic energy conservation and autotrophic CO2 fixation. These findings expand the known diversity of inorganic metabolisms that support life, and complete a biogeochemical energy cycle for manganese5,6 that may interface with other major global elemental cycles.

Trace Ethylene Sensing via Wacker Oxidation.

Project description:Ethylene is a dynamic plant hormone, and its temporal monitoring can be used to glean insight into plant health and status. However, the real-time distributed detection of ethylene at trace levels under ambient conditions remains a challenge. We report a single-walled carbon nanotube-based chemiresistor catalyst combination that can detect ppb levels of ethylene in air. Cycling between Pd(II) and Pd(0) via Wacker oxidation with a nitrite cocatalyst imparts response discrimination driven by the chemoselectivity of the chemical transformation. Sensitivity is controlled by a combination of the chemical reaction efficiency and the n-doping strength of the Pd(0) species generated in situ. The covalent functionalization of the carbon nanotube sidewall with pyridyl ligands drastically improves the device sensitivity via enhanced n-doping. The utility of this ethylene sensor is demonstrated in the monitoring of senescence in red carnations and purple lisianthus flowers.

Tailoring chemoenzymatic oxidation via in situ peracids.

Project description:Epoxidation chemistry often suffers from the challenging handling of peracids and thus requires in situ preparation. Here, we describe a two-phase enzymatic system that allows the effective generation of peracids and directly translate their activity to the epoxidation of olefins. We demonstrate the approach by application to lipid and olefin epoxidation as well as sulfide oxidation. These methods offer useful applications to synthetic modifications and scalable green processes.

Quiescent endothelial cells upregulate fatty acid β-oxidation for vasculoprotection via redox homeostasis

Project description:Little is known about metabolic changes accompanying endothelial cell (EC) quiescence. Nonetheless, when dysfunctional, quiescent ECs (QECs) contribute to multiple cardiovascular diseases. ECs need fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) for proliferation. Surprisingly, we now report that QECs are not hypo-metabolic, but upregulate FAO >3-fold higher than proliferating ECs (PECs), not to support biomass or energy production, but to sustain the TCA cycle for redox homeostasis through NADPH production. Hence, inhibition of FAO-controlling CPT1A promotes EC dysfunction (anti-fibrinolysis, leukocyte infiltration, barrier disruption) by increasing oxidative stress in CPT1AΔEC mice with endothelial CPT1A loss. Mechanistically, Notch1 orchestrates the use of FAO for redox balance in QECs. Supplementation of acetate (metabolized to acetyl-CoA) induces vasculoprotection against oxidative stress and EC dysfunction in CPT1AΔEC mice, possibly creating therapeutic opportunities. Thus, ECs use FAO for vasculoprotection against their high oxygen (oxidative stress-prone) milieu, and for different metabolic purposes dependent on their proliferation versus quiescence status.

Anaerobic benzene oxidation via phenol in Geobacter metallireducens.

Project description:Anaerobic activation of benzene is expected to represent a novel biochemistry of environmental significance. Therefore, benzene metabolism was investigated in Geobacter metallireducens, the only genetically tractable organism known to anaerobically degrade benzene. Trace amounts (<0.5 ?M) of phenol accumulated in cultures of Geobacter metallireducens anaerobically oxidizing benzene to carbon dioxide with the reduction of Fe(III). Phenol was not detected in cell-free controls or in Fe(II)- and benzene-containing cultures of Geobacter sulfurreducens, a Geobacter species that cannot metabolize benzene. The phenol produced in G. metallireducens cultures was labeled with (18)O during growth in H2(18)O, as expected for anaerobic conversion of benzene to phenol. Analysis of whole-genome gene expression patterns indicated that genes for phenol metabolism were upregulated during growth on benzene but that genes for benzoate or toluene metabolism were not, further suggesting that phenol was an intermediate in benzene metabolism. Deletion of the genes for PpsA or PpcB, subunits of two enzymes specifically required for the metabolism of phenol, removed the capacity for benzene metabolism. These results demonstrate that benzene hydroxylation to phenol is an alternative to carboxylation for anaerobic benzene activation and suggest that this may be an important metabolic route for benzene removal in petroleum-contaminated groundwaters, in which Geobacter species are considered to play an important role in anaerobic benzene degradation.

Synthesis of alpha-keto-imides via oxidation of ynamides.

Project description:A de novo preparation of alpha-keto-imides via ynamide oxidation is described. With a number of alkyne oxidation conditions screened, a highly efficient RuO2-NaIO4 mediated oxidation and a DMDO oxidation have been identified to tolerate a wide range of ynamide types. In addition to accessing a wide variety of alpha-keto-imides, the RuO2-NaIO4 protocol provides a novel entry to the vicinal tricarbonyl motif via oxidation of push-pull ynamides, and imido acylsilanes from silyl-substituted ynamides. Chemoselective oxidation of ynamides containing olefins can be achieved by using DMDO, while the RuO2-NaIO4 protocol is not effective. These studies provide further support for the synthetic utility of ynamides.

Total synthesis of (±)-rocaglamide via oxidation-initiated Nazarov cyclization.

Project description:This article describes the evolution of a Nazarov cyclization-based synthetic strategy targeting the anticancer, antiinflammatory, and insecticidal natural product (±)-rocaglamide. Initial pursuit of a polarized heteroaromatic Nazarov cyclization to construct the congested cyclopentane core revealed an unanticipated electronic bias in the pentadienyl cation. This reactivity was harnessed in a successful second-generation approach using an oxidation-initiated Nazarov cyclization of a heteroaryl alkoxyallene. Full details of these two approaches are given, as well as the characterization of undesired reaction pathways available to the Nazarov cyclization product. A sequence of experiments that led to an understanding of the unexpected reactivity of this key intermediate is described, which culminated in the successful total synthesis of (+)-rocaglamide.

Synthesis of triarylmethanols via tandem arylation/oxidation of diarylmethanes.

Project description:A tandem arylation/oxidation of diarylmethanes for the convenient synthesis of unsymmetrical triarylmethanols bearing different aryl and heteroaryl groups is described. A Pd(OAc)2-NiXantphos catalyst system efficiently catalyzed arylation of weakly acidic sp(3)-hybridized C-H bonds of diarylmethanes with aryl bromides, and the arylation products were then oxidized in situ to carbinols by simply opening the reaction flasks to air. The triarylmethanol products were obtained in 35-98% yield.

Palladium-Catalyzed C-H Bond Acetoxylation via Electrochemical Oxidation.

Project description:Here we describe the development of a method for the Pd-catalyzed electrochemical acetoxylation of C-H bonds. The oxidation step of the catalytic cycle is probed through cyclic voltammetry and bulk electrolysis studies of a preformed palladacycle of 8-methylquinoline. A catalytic system for C-H acetoxylation is then developed and optimized with respect to the cell configuration, rate of oxidation, and chemistry at the counter electrode. This transformation is then applied to substrates containing various directing groups and to the acetoxylation of both C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H bonds.
