Chemoselective reduction and oxidation of ketones in water through control of the electron transfer pathway.

ABSTRACT: The selective synthesis of different products from the same starting materials in water, which is the most abundant solvent in nature, is a crucial issue as it maximizes the utilization of materials. Realizing such reactions for ketones is of considerable importance because numerous organic functionalities can be obtained via nucleophilic addition reactions. Herein, we report chemoselective reduction and oxidation reactions of 1,2-diketones in water, which initiates anionic electron transfer from the inorganic electride [Ca24Al28O64](4+)·4e(-), through controlling the pathway of the electrons to substrates. The generation of different radical species for transient intermediates was the key process required to control the reaction selectivity, which was achieved by reacting the anionic electrons with either diketones or O2, leading to the formation of ketyl dianion and superoxide radicals in the reduction and oxidation reactions, respectively. This methodology that utilizes electrides may provide an alternative to the pulse radiolysis of water in synthetic chemistry.

Alternating electron and proton transfer steps in photosynthetic water oxidation.

Project description:Water oxidation by cyanobacteria, algae, and plants is pivotal in oxygenic photosynthesis, the process that powers life on Earth, and is the paradigm for engineering solar fuel-production systems. Each complete reaction cycle of photosynthetic water oxidation requires the removal of four electrons and four protons from the catalytic site, a manganese-calcium complex and its protein environment in photosystem II. In time-resolved photothermal beam deflection experiments, we monitored apparent volume changes of the photosystem II protein associated with charge creation by light-induced electron transfer (contraction) and charge-compensating proton relocation (expansion). Two previously invisible proton removal steps were detected, thereby filling two gaps in the basic reaction-cycle model of photosynthetic water oxidation. In the S(2) ? S(3) transition of the classical S-state cycle, an intermediate is formed by deprotonation clearly before electron transfer to the oxidant (Y Z OX). The rate-determining elementary step (?, approximately 30 µs at 20?°C) in the long-distance proton relocation toward the protein-water interface is characterized by a high activation energy (E(a) = 0.46 ± 0.05 eV) and strong H/D kinetic isotope effect (approximately 6). The characteristics of a proton transfer step during the S(0) ? S(1) transition are similar (?, approximately 100 µs; E(a) = 0.34 ± 0.08 eV; kinetic isotope effect, approximately 3); however, the proton removal from the Mn complex proceeds after electron transfer to . By discovery of the transient formation of two further intermediate states in the reaction cycle of photosynthetic water oxidation, a temporal sequence of strictly alternating removal of electrons and protons from the catalytic site is established.

Stabilized photoanodes for water oxidation by integration of organic dyes, water oxidation catalysts, and electron-transfer mediators.

Project description:Stabilized photoanodes for light-driven water oxidation have been prepared on nanoparticle core/shell electrodes with surface-stabilized donor-acceptor chromophores, a water oxidation catalyst, and an electron-transfer mediator. For the electrode, fluorine-doped tin oxide FTO|SnO2/TiO2|-Org1-|1.1 nm Al2O3|-RuP2+-WOC (water oxidation catalyst) with Org1 (1-cyano-2-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)vinyl)phosphonic acid), the mediator RuP2+ ([Ru(4,4-(PO3H2)2-2,2-bipyridine)(2,2-bipyridine)2]2+), and the WOC, Ru(bda)(py(CH2)(3or10)P(O3H)2)2 (bda is 2,2-bipyridine-6,6-dicarboxylate with x = 3 or 10), solar excitation resulted in photocurrents of ?500 µA/cm2 and quantitative O2 evolution at pH 4.65. Related results were obtained for other Ru(II) polypyridyl mediators. For the organic dye PP (5-(4-(dihydroxyphosphoryl)phenyl)-10,15,20-Tris(mesityl)porphyrin), solar water oxidation occurred with a driving force near 0 V.

Water molecule switching heterogeneous proton-coupled electron transfer pathway.

Project description:Figuring out the specific pathway of semiconductor-mediated proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) driven by light is essential to solar energy conversion systems. In this work, we reveal that the amount of adsorbed water molecules determines the photo-induced PCET pathway on the TiO2 surface through systematic kinetic solvent isotope effect (KSIE) experiments. At low water content (<1.7 wt%), the photo-induced single-proton/single-electron transfer on TiO2 nanoparticles follows a stepwise PT/ET pathway with the formation of high-energy H+/D+-O[double bond, length as m-dash]C or H+/D+-O-C intermediates, resulting in an inverse KSIE (H/D) ∼0.5 with t Bu3ArO· and KSIE (H/D) ∼1 with TEMPO in methanol-d 0/d 4 systems. However, at high water content (>2 wt%), the PCET reaction follows a concerted pathway with a lower energy barrier, leading to normal KSIEs (H/D) ≥ 2 with both reagents. In situ ATR-FTIR observation and DFT calculations suggest that water molecules' existence significantly lowers the proton/electron transfer energy barrier, which coincides with our experimental observations.

Consecutive Ligand-Based Electron Transfer in New Molecular Copper-Based Water Oxidation Catalysts.

Project description:Water oxidation to dioxygen is one of the key reactions that need to be mastered for the design of practical devices based on water splitting with sunlight. In this context, water oxidation catalysts based on first-row transition metal complexes are highly desirable due to their low cost and their synthetic versatility and tunability through rational ligand design. A new family of dianionic bpy-amidate ligands of general formula H2 LNn- (LN is [2,2'-bipyridine]-6,6'-dicarboxamide) substituted with phenyl or naphthyl redox non-innocent moieties is described. A detailed electrochemical analysis of [(L4)Cu]2- (L4=4,4'-(([2,2'-bipyridine]-6,6'-dicarbonyl)bis(azanediyl))dibenzenesulfonate) at pH 11.6 shows the presence of a large electrocatalytic wave for water oxidation catalysis at an η=830 mV. Combined experimental and computational evidence, support an all ligand-based process with redox events taking place at the aryl-amide groups and at the hydroxido ligands.

Electron-transfer sensitization of H2 oxidation and CO2 reduction catalysts using a single chromophore.

Project description:Energy-storing artificial-photosynthetic systems for CO2 reduction must derive the reducing equivalents from a renewable source rather than from sacrificial donors. To this end, a homogeneous, integrated chromophore/two-catalyst system is described that is thermodynamically capable of photochemically driving the energy-storing reverse water-gas shift reaction (CO2 + H2 → CO + H2O), where the reducing equivalents are provided by renewable H2. The system consists of the chromophore zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP), H2 oxidation catalysts of the form [Cp(R)Cr(CO)3](-), and CO2 reduction catalysts of the type Re(bpy-4,4'-R2)(CO)3Cl. Using time-resolved spectroscopic methods, a comprehensive mechanistic and kinetic picture of the photoinitiated reactions of mixtures of these compounds has been developed. It has been found that absorption of a single photon by broadly absorbing ZnTPP sensitizes intercatalyst electron transfer to produce the substrate-active forms of each. The initial photochemical step is the heretofore unobserved reductive quenching of the low-energy T1 state of ZnTPP. Under the experimental conditions, the catalytically competent state decays with a second-order half-life of ∼15 μs, which is of the right magnitude for substrate trapping of sensitized catalyst intermediates.

Nitrite reduction by copper through ligand-mediated proton and electron transfer.

Project description:Nitrite reduction by a copper complex featuring a proton-responsive tripodal ligand is demonstrated. Gaseous nitric oxide was confirmed as the sole NO X by-product in quantitative yield. DFT calculations predict that nitrite reduction occurs via a proton and electron transfer process mediated by the ligand. The reported mechanism parallels nitrite reduction by copper nitrite reductase.

Measurement of the oxidation-reduction potentials for one-electron and two-electron reduction of electron-transfer flavoprotein from pig liver.

Project description:Potentiometric titrations of pig liver electron-transfer flavoprotein (ETF) were performed at pH 7.5 and 4 degrees C, both in the reductive and oxidative directions. Reduction of ETF to the hydroquinone form required a total of two reducing equivalents/mol of ETF with the formation of sub-stoichiometric amounts of anionic semiquinone as an intermediate. The oxidation-reduction potentials for the two one-electron couples, oxidized ETF/ETF semiquinone and ETF semiquinone/fully reduced ETF, are +4 mV and -50 mV respectively. The overall midpoint potential for the two-electron couple (oxidized ETF/fully reduced ETF) is -23 mV.

Study of Proton Coupled Electron Transfer in a Biomimetic Dimanganese Water Oxidation Catalyst with Terminal Water Ligands.

Project description:The oxomanganese complex [H(2)O(terpy)Mn(III)(μ-O)(2)Mn(IV)(terpy)H(2)O](3+) (1, terpy = 2,2':6-2″-terpyridine) is a biomimetic model of the oxygen evolving complex of photosystem II with terminal water ligands. When bound to TiO(2) surfaces, 1 is activated by primary oxidants (e.g., Ce(4+)(aq), or oxone in acetate buffers) to catalyze the oxidation of water yielding O(2) evolution [G. Li et al. Energy Environ. Sci. 2, 230-238 (2009)]. The activation is thought to involve oxidation of the inorganic core [Mn(III)(μ-O)(2)Mn(IV)](3+) to generate the [Mn(IV)(μ-O)(2)Mn(IV)](4+) state 1(ox) first and then the highly reactive Mn oxyl species Mn(IV)O(•) through proton coupled electron transfer (PCET). Here, we investigate the step 1 → 1(ox) as compared to the analogous conversion in an oxomanganese complex without terminal water ligands, the [(bpy)(2) Mn (III) (μ-O)(2) Mn (IV) (bpy)(2)](3+) complex (2, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl). We characterize the oxidation in terms of free energy calculations of redox potentials and pKa's as directly compared to cyclic voltammogram measurements. We find that the pKa's of terminal water ligands depend strongly on the oxidation states of the Mn centers, changing by ~13 pH units (i.e., from 14 to 1) during the III, IV→IV, IV transition. Furthermore, we find that the oxidation potential of 1 is strongly dependent on pH (in contrast to the pH-independent redox potential of 2) as well as by coordination of Lewis base moieties (e.g., carboxylate groups) that competitively bind to Mn by exchange with terminal water ligands. The reported analysis of ligand binding free energies, pKa's and redox potentials indicates that the III, IV→IV, IV oxidation of 1 in the presence of acetate (AcO(-)) involves the following PCET: [H(2)O(terpy)Mn(III)(μ-O)(2)Mn(IV)(terpy)AcO](2+) → [HO(terpy)Mn(IV)(μ-O)(2)Mn(IV)(terpy)AcO](2+) + H(+) + e(-).

C-H oxidation in fluorenyl benzoates does not proceed through a stepwise pathway: revisiting asynchronous proton-coupled electron transfer.

Project description:2-Fluorenyl benzoates were recently shown to undergo C-H bond oxidation through intramolecular proton transfer coupled with electron transfer to an external oxidant. Kinetic analysis revealed unusual rate-driving force relationships. Our analysis indicated a mechanism of multi-site concerted proton-electron transfer (MS-CPET) for all of these reactions. More recently, an alternative interpretation of the kinetic data was proposed to explain the unusual rate-driving force relationships, invoking a crossover from CPET to a stepwise mechanism with an initial intramolecular proton transfer (PT) (Costentin, Savéant, Chem. Sci., 2020, 11, 1006). Here, we show that this proposed alternative pathway is untenable based on prior and new experimental assessments of the intramolecular PT equilibrium constant and rates. Measurement of the fluorenyl 9-C-H pK a, H/D exchange experiments, and kinetic modelling with COPASI eliminate the possibility of a stepwise mechanism for C-H oxidation in the fluorenyl benzoate series. Implications for asynchronous (imbalanced) MS-CPET mechanisms are discussed with respect to classical Marcus theory and the quantum-mechanical treatment of concerted proton-electron transfer.

Chemoselective Oxidation of Benzyl, Amino, and Propargyl Alcohols to Aldehydes and Ketones under Mild Reaction Conditions.

Project description:Catalytic oxidation reactions often suffer from drawbacks such as low yields and poor selectivity. Particularly, selective oxidation of alcohols becomes more difficult when a compound contains more than one oxidizable functional group. In order to deliver a methodology that addresses these issues, herein we report an efficient, aerobic, chemoselective and simplified approach to oxidize a broad range of benzyl and propargyl alcohols containing diverse functional groups to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones in excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Optimal yields were obtained at room temperature using 1?mmol substrate, 10?mol?% copper(I) iodide, 10?mol?% 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), and 1?mol?% 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO) in acetonitrile, under an oxygen balloon. The catalytic system can be applied even when sensitive and oxidizable groups such as alkynes, amines, and phenols are present; starting materials and products containing such groups were found to be stable under the developed conditions.
