β-Ketophosphonates with pentalenofurane fragments linked to the keto group were synthesized. The bulky pentalenofurane skeleton is expected to introduce more hindrance in the prostaglandin analogues of type III, greater than that obtained with the bicyclo[3.3.0]oct(a)ene fragments of prostaglandin analogues I and II, to slow down (retard) the inactivation of the prostaglandin analogues by oxidation of 15α-OH to the 15-keto group via the 15-PGDH pathway. Their synthesis was performed by a sequence of three high yield reactions, starting from the pentalenofurane alcohols 2, oxidation of alcohols to acids 3, esterification of acids 3 to methyl esters 4 and reaction of the esters 4 with lithium salt of dimethyl methanephosphonate at low temperature. The secondary compounds 6b and 6c were formed in small amounts in the oxidation reactions of 2b and 2c, and the NMR spectroscopy showed that their structure is that of an ester of the acid with the starting alcohol. Their molecular structures were confirmed by single crystal X-ray determination method for 6c and XRPD powder method for 6b.

The study of haemin-catalysed oxidation reactions was extended to substituted aromatic rings. Both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on aromatic rings act as para- and meta-directing agents in the presence of tetrakis(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrin iron(III) chloride as catalyst and m-chloroperbenzoic acid as oxidant. A new kinetic method for measuring relative rates of epoxidation of alkenes and related compounds has been developed; while steric hindrance results in decreasing the rate of hydroxylation, electron-rich and electron-withdrawing substituents were found to increase the rate of hydroxylation. A linear relationship between the logarithm of the relative rate of hydroxylation and σ Hammet is obtained, although electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents fit separate lines. Addition of pyridine to haemin was shown to increase the yield of epoxidation but decrease the yield of aromatic hydroxylation.

<p>Oxidation reactions are fundamental transformations in organic synthesis and chemical industry. With oxygen or air as terminal oxidant, aerobic oxidation catalysis provides the most sustainable and economic oxidation processes. Most aerobic oxidation catalysis employs redox metal as its active center. While nature provides non-redox metal strategy as in pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent methanol dehydrogenases (MDH), such an effective chemical version is unknown. Inspired by the recently discovered rare earth metal-dependent enzyme Ln-MDH, here we show that an open-shell semi-quinone anionic radical species in complexing with lanthanum could serve as a very efficient aerobic oxidation catalyst under ambient conditions. In this catalyst, the lanthanum metal serves only as a Lewis acid promoter and the redox process occurs exclusively on the semiquinone ligand. The catalysis is initiated by 1e<sup>-</sup>-reduction of lanthanum-activated <i>ortho</i>-quinone to a semiquinone-lanthanum complex La(<b>SQ<sup>-.</sup></b>)<sub>2</sub>, which undergoes a coupled O-H/C-H dehydrogenation for aerobic oxidation of alcohols with up to 330 h<sup>-1</sup> TOF. This study suggests a possible functional mode of semiquinone radicals, widely observed with quinoproteins in Nature. Moreover, this unique reductive activation strategy as well as the resulted radical anion as redox ligand creates a new turning point in the development of efficient aerobic oxidation catalysis.</p>

AbstractManipulation of materials is considered as one of the eminent strategies to create desirable catalysts. In this regard, increasing surface area and decreasing dimensions of catalysts have been widely employed on account of effectiveness of these methods. Herein, aerogel form of chitosan as a sustainable, and high aspect ratio compound is employed as a green support for the catalytic purposes. Chitosan aerogel was modified with Fe(II)-phthalocyanine to produce a heterogeneous catalyst for oxidation reactions. The synthesized catalyst promoted the oxidation reactions of alcohols and alkyl arenes to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones using H2O2 as an oxidant in 24 h. The reactions for aliphatic and aromatic alcohols gave turnover numbers of 106–109 at 80 °C and 106–117 at room temperature, respectively. The oxidations of alkyl arenes were carried out with turnover numbers laying in the range of 106–117 at 100 °C. The low toxicity, inexpensive nature, and recycling possibility of the catalyst accompanied by the reaction mild conditions, clean oxidant, and excellent yields offer chitosan aerogel modified with Fe(II)-phthalocyanine as a promising catalyst for oxidation reactions.

Intermediates lie at the center of chemical reaction mechanisms. However, detecting intermediates in an organic reaction and understanding its role in reaction mechanisms remains a big challenge. In this paper, we used the theoretical calculations to explore the potential of the electron-vibration-vibration two-dimensional infrared (EVV-2DIR) spectroscopy in detecting the intermediates in the oxidation reactions of enamines and tautomerizable imines with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO). We show that while it is difficult to identify the intermediates from their infrared and Raman signals, the simulated EVV-2DIR spectra of these intermediates have well resolved spectral features, which are absent in the signals of reactants and products. These characteristic spectral signatures can, therefore, be used to reveal the reaction mechanism as well as monitor the reaction progress. Our work suggests the potential strength of EVV-2DIR technique in studying the molecular mechanism of organic reactions in general.
