Abstract 1 ), a member of thesecurinega family of alkaloids containing an unusual oxazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane core, is described. The synthesis employs a unique synthetic strategy featuring the ring expansion of a substituted cyclopentanone to a cyclic hydroxamic acid as a key step that allows facile installation of the embedded nitrogen‐oxygen (N−O) bond. The optimization of this sequence to effect the desired regiochemical outcome and its mechanistic underpinnings were assessed both computationally and experimentally. This synthetic approach also features an early‐stage diastereoselective aldol reaction to assemble the substituted cyclopentanone, a mild reduction of an amide intermediate without N−O bond cleavage, and the rapid assembly of the butenolide found in (1 ) via use of the Bestmann ylide. -
Abstract Affinities of six anions (mesylate, acetate, trifluoroacetate,
p ‐toluenecarboxylate,p ‐toluenesulfonate, and perfluorooctanoate) for three related Pt2+‐linked porphyrin nanocages were measured to probe the influence of different noncovalent recognition motifs (e. g., hydrogen bonding, electrostatics, π bonding) on anion binding. Two new hosts of M6L312+(1b ) and M4L28+(2 ) composition (M=(en)Pt2+, L=(3‐py)4porphyrin) were prepared in a one‐pot synthesis and allowed comparison of hosts that differ in structure while maintaining similar N−H hydrogen‐bond donor ability. Comparisons of isostructural hosts that differ in hydrogen‐bonding ability were made between1b and a related M6L312+nanoprism (1a , M=(tmeda)Pt2+) that lacks N−H groups. Considerable variation in association constants (K 1=1.6×103 M−1to 1.3×108 M−1) and binding mode (exo vs.endo ) were found for different host–guest combinations. Strongest binding was seen betweenp ‐toluenecarboxylate and1b , but surprisingly, association of this guest with1a was only slightly weaker despite the absence of NH⋅⋅⋅O interactions. The high affinity betweenp ‐toluenecarboxylate and1a could be turned off by protonation, and this behavior was used to toggle between the binding of this guest and the environmental pollutant perfluorooctanoate, which otherwise has a lower affinity for the host. -
Abstract Little attention has been focused on diradical and zwitterionic photoperoxides formed from nitrosamine compounds. Here, an attempt is made to probe the electronic character of the nitrooxide intermediate formed in photochemical reactions with triplet oxygen (3O2). Theoretical studies have been conducted to screen
para ‐substituted phenyl nitrosamines. In particular, we find that electron‐withdrawing substituents produce low‐lying triplet nitrooxide diradicals. A clear electronic dependence in theS 0– 1andT S 0– S 1energy gaps of nitrooxides was found using Hammett plots. Computed geometries show a twisted diradical triplet nitrooxide moiety, which contrasts to the nearly flat singlet zwitterionic ground state nitrooxide moiety; analyses of charges (natural bond order), molecular orbitals (HOMO /LUMO ) and spin densities enable these assignments. Calculations predict the former triplet species is photogenerated initially from nitrosamine with O2. The conversion of the triplet nitrooxide diradical to the singlet ground state is an example where longer‐lived zwitterionic nitrooxide structures become possible. The reaction mechanism is consistent with a zwitterionic ground state nitrooxide playing an important role in the bimolecular oxygen‐transfer reaction with phosphine and phosphite trapping agents as has been observed experimentally. -
Abstract The intramolecular “inverse” frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) of general formula 1‐BR2‐2‐[(Me2N)2C=N]‐C6H4(
3 –6 ) [BR2=BMes2(3 ), BC12H8, (4 ), BBN (5 ), BBNO (6 )] were synthesized and structurally characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray analysis. These novel types of pre‐organized FLPs, featuring strongly basic guanidino units rigidly linked to weakly Lewis acidic boryl moieties via anortho ‐phenylene linker, are capable of activating H−H, C−H, N−H, O−H, Si−H, B−H and C=O bonds.4 and5 deprotonated terminal alkynes and acetylene to form the zwitterionic borates 1‐(RC≡C‐BR2)‐2‐[(Me2N)2C=NH]‐C6H4(R=Ph, H) and reacted with ammonia, BnNH2and pyrrolidine, to generate the FLP adducts 1‐(R2HN→BR2)‐2‐[(Me2N)2C=NH]‐C6H4, where the N‐H functionality is activated by intramolecular H‐bond interactions. In addition,5 was found to rapidly add across the double bond of H2CO, PhCHO and PhNCO to form cyclic zwitterionic guanidinium borates in excellent yields. Likewise,5 is capable of cleaving H2, HBPin and PhSiH3to form various amino boranes. Collectively, the results demonstrate that these new types of intramolecular FLPs featuring weakly Lewis acidic boryl and strongly basic guanidino moieties are as potent as conventional intramolecular FLPs with strongly Lewis acidic units in activating small molecules. -
Abstract Catalysis of
O ‐atom transfer (OAT) reactions is a characteristic of both natural (enzymatic) and synthetic molybdenum‐oxo and ‐peroxo complexes. These reactions can employ a variety of terminal oxidants, e. g. DMSO,N ‐oxides, and peroxides, etc., but rarely molecular oxygen. Here we demonstrate the ability of a set of Schiff‐base‐MoO2complexes (cy‐salen)MoO2(cy‐salen=N,N’ ‐cyclohexyl‐1,2‐bis‐salicylimine) to catalyze the aerobic oxidation of PPh3. We also report the results of a DFT computational investigation of the catalytic pathway, including the identification of energetically accessible intermediates and transition states, for the aerobic oxidation of PMe3. Starting from the dioxo species, (cy‐salen)Mo(VI)O2(1 ), key reaction steps include: 1) associative addition of PMe3to an oxo‐O to give LMo(IV)(O)(OPMe3) (2 ); 2) OPMe3dissociation from2 to produce mono‐oxo complex (cy‐salen)Mo(IV)O (3 ); 3) stepwise O2association with3 via superoxo species (cy‐salen)Mo(V)(O)(η1‐O2) (4 ) to form the oxo‐peroxo intermediate (cy‐salen)Mo(VI)(O)(η2‐O2) (5 ); 4) theO ‐transfer reaction of PMe3with oxo‐peroxo species5 at the oxo‐group, rather than the peroxo unit leading, after OPMe3dissociation, to a monoperoxo species, (cy‐salen)Mo(IV)(η2‐O2) (7 ); and 5) regeneration of the dioxo complex (cy‐salen)Mo(VI)O2(1 ) from the monoperoxo triplet3 7 or singlet1 7 by a concerted, asynchronous electronic isomerization. An alternative pathway for recycling of the oxo‐peroxo species5 to the dioxo‐Mo1 via a bimetallic peroxo complex LMo(O)‐O−O‐Mo(O)L8 is determined to be energetically viable, but is unlikely to be competitive with the primary pathway for aerobic phosphine oxidation catalyzed by1 .
