Download or read book Design Synthesis and Applications of Biomimetic Flavin based Organocatalysts written by Mohammad Shawkat Hossain and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxidation reactions are one of the most important transformations in synthetic chemistry. Most commonly used oxidants are metal oxides, which are neither green nor selective towards multi-functional molecules. The efficiency of the reactions can be improved by the introduction of a catalyst by lowering the activation energy. In nature, oxidation reactions are highly specific and are controlled by enzymes, co-enzymes, and availability of a renewable terminal oxidant, molecular oxygen. Among the various enzymatic oxidative transformations, our research was inspired by the oxidations controlled by co-enzymes FMN or FAD in the presence of flavoproteins and molecular oxygen. Flavin mimics were often studied/used to oxidize heteroatoms; however, the goal of this research was initialy focused on mimicking other chemoselective oxidations of flavins, primarily at carbon centers. In chapter one, the function of natural flavins in nature and different approaches to perform nucleophilic and electrophilic oxidation using artificial flavin is described. In chapter two, flavin reactivity was extended to the Dakin oxidation of electron-rich benzaldehydes. This conversion of aryl aldehyde to phenol worked efficiently under mild conditions with either hydrogen peroxide or molecular oxygen as terminal oxidant. The mechanism was understood by various reaction rates studies. Substituent effects of catalysts and substrates aided in the identification of the rate determining step. The order of reagents and extensive pH studies reveal the various way flavin catalysts enable oxo-transfer under mild, more neutral conditions, by altering both the pKa of the active nucleophilic oxygen source, and by lowering the energy of the oxide leaving group, as previously hypothesized by Briuce and coworkers. In chapter three, pre-heteroaromatic compounds (initially investigated as possible reducing agents for flavin mimics) were transformed to their aromatic form aerobically using flavin catalyst in arguably the most mild methods described to date. Chapters four through six describe the preparation and function of various classes of flavins. Chapter four discussed the bioactivity of new flavin species against cancerous and normal breast cells. Chapter five details the preparation of water-soluble classes of flavins and their photochemical properties (O2 activation and Methyl Orange degredation). And Chapter six discusses the preparation of redox active flavins that were prepared for tethering to metal oxide photocatalyst and various electrode surfaces. Chapter seven describes a new preparation of 5-deazaflavin cofactors - deazariboflavin, 8-hydroxydeazariboflavin (an F420-precursor), and 10-methyl deazaflavin. An improved route to these species is described, and their redox activity were investigated in F420-dependent enzymes. Finally, chapter eight shows a new, concise and high yielding synthetic route explored for the synthesis of flavin catalysts, which includes the synthesis of different o-phenylenediamine derivatives and alloxan derivatives.

Download or read book Catalysis An Integrated Approach written by R.A. van Santen and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-09-26 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concentrates on industrially relevant reactions which are catalyzed by heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. Homogeneous catalysis by metal complexes is treated jointly with heterogeneous catalysis using metallic and non-metallic solids. In both areas the high degree of sophistication of spectroscopic techniques and theoretical modelling has led to an enormous increase in our understanding at the molecular level. This holds for the kinetics of the reactions and the reactivities of the catalysts, as well as for the syntheses of the catalytic materials. The development of catalysis science since the first edition of this book has necessitated a thorough revision, including special chapters on biocatalysis, catalyst characterization and adsorption methods. The multidisciplinary nature of catalysis is reflected in the choice of a novel combination of basic disciplines which will be refreshing and inspiring to readers.
Download or read book Redox and Non redox Reactions Catalyzed by Biomimetric Flavin based Organocatalysts and the Discovery of Selective Oxidation Methods for the Preparation of N Heterocycles written by Pawan Thapa and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nature, flavoproteins (FMN and FAD) are known to catalyze several chemical transformations which play a vital role in the growth, development, and survival of organisms. They are involved in one-electron and two-electron transfer reactions, photo-induced electron transfer reactions, dehydrogenase reactions, oxidative atom transfer reactions and also rare non-redox reactions. Their enhanced stability and ability to turn over in presence of dioxygen has inspired synthetic chemists, including our group, to perform biomimetic transformations within a range of function of natural flavoproteins. In chapter 1, both intramolecular and intermolecular dehydrogenative coupling between the alpha carbon of tertiary amines and various nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon-based nucleophilesare reported. This study signifies the flavin dependent oxidase type chemistry promoted by synthetic flavins, rendering the catalytic construction of some sophisticated heterocycles through an atom economical and aerobic approach. Mechanistic studies with different radical probes suggest the involvement of radical intermediates in the reaction cycle. Moreover, intramolecular kinetic isotope studies performed reveal possibility of Hydrogen atom abstraction being rate determining step. In chapter 2, a non-redox type of chemistry is disclosed. A subclass of riboflavin mimics was found to catalyze C-C bond formation by activating small molecules in a new manner. This approach was successfully applied to synthesize various industrially important dyes and chemical reagents. Additionally, the relationship discovered between molecular structure and catalytic function of riboflavin mimics in these new chemical reactions revealed a plausible explanation for the function of natural riboflavin-dependent hydroxynitrilase enzymes in biological system. Mechanistic studies using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy showed a possible frustrated lewis-pair (FLP) type of interaction between aldehydes and flavin mimics. In chapter 3, studies on benzimidazole synthesis by iron catalysts will be discussed. 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles serve as important class of molecules in several area of chemistry including drug discovery, catalysis, etc. Our investigation in this area with redox active iron catalysts revealed N,N'-disubstituted-ortho-phenylenediamine substrates being superior to N,N disubstituted-ortho-phenylenediamines in generating 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles. Extensive UV-vis spectroscopy studies and kinetic studies have been performed in addition to EPR spectroscopy to understand the nature of mechanism. Both Lewis acid property and redox active property of iron trichloride are thought to play a significant role in catalysis. Smooth complex formation between N,N'-disubstituted-ortho-phenylenediamine substrates and iron catalyst provides the driving force for the electron transfer process to form productive iminiumintermediate.A simple method for chemo-selective oxidation of isoindolines to isoindolinones was also studied in chapter 4. This method utilizes no catalyst, no additive, mild condition and is highlighted as just solvent mediated transformation. Mechanistic investigation shows hydrogen atom abstraction process leading to isoindole intermediates which further binds to oxygen to give desired isoindolinones products.
