Benziodoxole-Derived Organosulfonates: The Strongest Hypervalent Iodine Electrophiles and Oxidants
This account describes the development of organosulfonyloxy-substituted iodine(III) and iodine(V) benziodoxole derived reagents, which are thermally stable compounds with useful reactivity patterns. Iodine(III) benziodoxoles and pseudobenziodoxoles are powerful electrophiles and mild oxidants toward various unsaturated compounds. In particular, pseudocyclic benziodoxole-derived triflate (IBA-OTf) is an efficient reagent for oxidative heteroannulation reactions. Aldoximes react with nitriles in the presence of IBA-OTf at room temperature to give 1,2,4-oxadiazoles in high yields. Moreover, IBA-triflate is used as a catalyst in oxidative heteroannulations with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid as the terminal oxidant. The iodine(V) benziodoxole derived tosylates, DMP-tosylate and IBX-tosylate, are superior oxidants for the oxidation of structurally diverse, synthetically useful alcohols, utilized as key precursors in the total syntheses of polyketide antibiotics and terpenes. And finally, the most powerful hypervalent iodine(V) oxidant, 2-iodoxybenzoic acid ditriflate (IBX·2HOTf), is prepared by treatment of IBX with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. According to the X-ray data, the I–OTf bonds in IBX-ditriflate have ionic character, leading to the high reactivity of this reagent in various oxidations. In particular, IBX-ditriflate can oxidize polyfluorinated primary alcohols, which are generally extremely resistant to oxidation. 1 Introduction 2 Iodine(III) Benziodoxole Based Organosulfonates 3 Pseudocyclic Iodine(III) Benziodoxole Triflate (IBA-triflate) 4 Pseudocyclic Iodine(III) Benziodoxole Tosylates 5 Iodine(V) Benziodoxole Derived Tosylates 6 Iodine(V) Benziodoxole Derived Triflate (IBX-ditriflate) 7 Conclusions

Abstract H ‐1λ5‐benzo[d ][1,2]iodoxol‐3‐one) and IBX‐OTs (1‐tosyloxy‐1‐oxo‐1H ‐1λ5‐benzo[d ][1,2]iodoxol‐3‐one) show high reactivity in the oxidation of structurally complex primary and secondary alcohols, which are highly functionalized polyketide or terpene fragments or steroids. The yields of the corresponding carbonyl compounds are even higher for the protocol that uses pyridine as additive. The oxidations proceed very rapidly at room temperature leaving the protective groups and π‐systems intact and affording the corresponding carbonyl compounds in good to excellent yields. Moreover, IBX‐OTs is an efficient reagent for the oxidative dehydrogenation of steroidal alcohols to the corresponding enones.magnified image -
Muniz, K. ; Ishihara, K. (Ed.)Hypervalent iodine compounds are a widely used class of metal-free oxidants that find application in organic synthesis. Due to the homology between the reactivity of hypervalent iodine and many transition metals ¾ oxidative addition, ligand exchange, and reductive elimination can be facile for both ¾ hypervalent iodine species find application in a variety of synthetically important organic transformations. Major limitations of these reagents include the frequent need for (super)stoichiometric loading and the intrinsically poor atom economy that results from the generation of stoichiometric quantities of iodoarene byproducts. In addition, hypervalent iodine reagents are often synthesized using metal-based terminal oxidants, which compound the resulting waste stream. Recently, substantial progress has been made to address these limitations. Here, we discuss progress towards sustainable synthetic methods for the preparation of hypervalent iodine compounds and application of those methods in the context of hypervalent iodine catalysis. The discussion is organized according to the active oxygen content, and thus atom economy, of the terminal oxidant employed. Hypervalent iodine electrochemistry and the development of recyclable iodoarenes are also discussed.more » « less

Tetrazoles are well known for their high positive enthalpy of formation which makes them attractive as propellants, explosives, and energetic materials. As a step towards a deeper understanding of the stability of benziodazolotetrazole (BIAT)-based materials compared to their benziodoxole (BIO) counterparts, we investigated in this work electronic structure features and bonding properties of two monovalent iodine precursors: 2-iodobenzoic acid and 5-(2-iodophenyl)tetrazole and eight hypervalent iodine (III) compounds: I-hydroxybenzidoxolone, I-methoxybenziodoxolone, I-ethoxybenziodoxolone, I-iso-propoxybenziodoxolone and the corresponding I-hydroxyben ziodazolotetrazole, I-methoxybenziodazolotetrazole, I-ethoxybenziodazolotetrazole and I-iso- propoxybenziodazolotetrazole. As an efficient tool for the interpretation of the experimental IR spectra and for the quantitative assessment of the I−C, I−N, and I−O bond strengths in these compounds reflecting substituent effects, we used the local vibrational mode analysis, originally introduced by Konkoli and Cremer, complemented by electron density and natural bond orbital analyses. Based on the hypothesis that stronger bonds correlate with increased stability, we predict that, for both series, i.e., substituted benziodoxoles and benziodazolotetrazoles, the stability increases as follows: I-iso-propoxy < I-ethoxy < I-methoxy < I-hydroxy. In particular, the I−N bonds in the benziodazolotetrazoles could be identified as the so-called trigger bonds being responsible for the initiation of explosive decomposition in benziodazolotetrazoles. The new insight gained by this work will allow for the design of new benziodazolotetrazole materials with controlled performance or stability based on the modulation of the iodine bonds with its three ligands. The local mode analysis can serve as an effective tool to monitor the bond strengths, in particular to identify potential trigger bonds. We hope that this article will foster future collaboration between the experimental and computational community being engaged in vibrational spectroscopy.more » « less

Abstract Nonheme iron enzymes generate powerful and versatile oxidants that perform a wide range of oxidation reactions, including the functionalization of inert C−H bonds, which is a major challenge for chemists. The oxidative abilities of these enzymes have inspired bioinorganic chemists to design synthetic models to mimic their ability to perform some of the most difficult oxidation reactions and study the mechanisms of such transformations. Iron‐oxygen intermediates like iron(III)‐hydroperoxo and high‐valent iron‐oxo species have been trapped and identified in investigations of these bio‐inspired catalytic systems, with the latter proposed to be the active oxidant for most of these systems. In this Review, we highlight the recent spectroscopic and mechanistic advances that have shed light on the various pathways that can be accessed by bio‐inspired nonheme iron systems to form the high‐valent iron‐oxo intermediates.

Isoprene has a strong effect on the oxidative capacity of the troposphere due to its abundance. Under low-NOx conditions, isoprene oxidizes to form isoprene-derived epoxydiols (IEPOX), contributing significantly to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) through heterogeneous reactions. In particular, organosulfates (OSs) can form from acid-driven reactive uptake of IEPOX onto preexisting particles followed by nucleophilic addition of inorganic sulfate, and they are an important component of SOA mass, primarily in submicron particles with long atmospheric lifetimes. Fundamental understanding of SOA and OS evolution in particles, including the formation of new compounds by oxidation as well as corresponding viscosity changes, is limited, particularly across relative humidity (RH) conditions above and below the deliquescence of typical sulfate aerosol particles. In a 2-m3 indoor chamber held at various RH values (30 – 80%), SOA was generated from reactive uptake of gas-phase IEPOX onto acidic ammonium sulfate aerosols (pH = 0.5 – 2.5) and then aged in an oxidation flow reactor (OFR) for 0 – 24 days of equivalent atmospheric ·OH exposure. We investigated the extent of inorganic sulfate conversion to organosulfate, formation of oligomers, single-particle physicochemical properties, such as viscosity and phase state, and oxidation kinetics. Chemical composition of particle-phase species, as well as aerosol morphological changes, are analyzed as a function of RH, oxidant exposure times, and particle acidity to better understand SOA and OS formation and destruction mechanisms in the ambient atmosphere.more » « less
