  • Cholesteryl Ester Hydroperoxide Formation in Myoglobin-Catalyzed

Two diet-derived phenolic acids, caffeic and p-coumaric acids, interplayed with ascorbate in the protection of low density lipoproteins (LDL) from oxidation promoted by ferrylmyoglobin. Ferrylmyoglobin, a two-electron oxidation product from the reaction of metmyoglobin and H2O2, was able to oxidize LDL, degrading free cholesterol and cholesteryl esters. Upon exposure to ferrylmyoglobin, LDL became rapidly depleted of cholesteryl arachidonate and linoleate, which turn into the corresponding hydroperoxides. Cholesteryl oleate and cholesterol were, comparatively, more resistant to oxidation. Caffeic (2 mM) and p-coumaric (12 mM) acids efficiently delayed oxidations, as reflected by an increase in the lag times required for linoleate hydroperoxide and 7-ketocholesterol formation as well as for cholesteryl linoleate consumption. At the same concentration, ascorbate, a standard water-soluble antioxidant, was less efficient than the phenolic acids. Additionally, phenolic acids afforded a protection to LDL that, conversely to ascorbate, extends along the time, as inferred from the high levels of cholesteryl linoleate and cholesteryl arachidonate left after 22 hr of oxidation challenging. Significantly, the coincubation of LDL with ascorbate and each of the phenolic acids resulted in a synergistic protection from oxidation.

  • Estimating the Densities of Benzene-Derived Explosives Using Atomic Volumes
    Journal of Molecular Modeling (2018) 24: 50 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00894-018-3588-9 ORIGINAL PAPER Estimating the densities of benzene-derived explosives using atomic volumes Vikas D. Ghule1 & Ayushi Nirwan1 & Alka Devi1 Received: 7 November 2017 /Accepted: 8 January 2018 /Published online: 9 February 2018 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The application of average atomic volumes to predict the crystal densities of benzene-derived energetic compounds of general formula CaHbNcOd is presented, along with the reliability of this method. The densities of 119 neutral nitrobenzenes, energetic salts, and cocrystals with diverse compositions were estimated and compared with experimental data. Of the 74 nitrobenzenes for which direct comparisons could be made, the % error in the estimated density was within 0–3% for 54 compounds, 3–5% for 12 compounds, and 5–8% for the remaining 8 compounds. Among 45 energetic salts and cocrystals, the % error in the estimated density was within 0–3% for 25 compounds, 3–5% for 13 compounds, and 5–7.4% for 7 compounds. The absolute error surpassed 0.05 g/cm3 for 27 of the 119 compounds (22%). The largest errors occurred for compounds containing fused rings and for compounds with three –NH2 or –OH groups. Overall, the present approach for estimating the densities of benzene- derived explosives with different functional groups was found to be reliable. Keywords Density . Atomic volume . Explosive .

  • Indiana State University ISU Laboratory Safety Guideline
    ISU Laboratory Safety Guideline Working with Organic Peroxides and Storage Guidelines Date: December 2012 Indiana State University Organic peroxide is a compound containing the -O-O- structure and is considered a structural derivative of hydrogen peroxide. Organic peroxides are one of the most hazardous materials handled in the laboratory. These peroxides are low powered explosives that are sensitive to shock, sparks or other accidental ignition due to the weak –O-O bond. Organic compounds such as ethers can react with oxygen to form unstable peroxides. Peroxide formation can also occur under normal storage conditions when compounds become concentrated by evaporation or when mixed with other compounds. Types of Compounds known to form peroxides : Ethers containing primary and secondary alkyl groups (never distill an ether before it has been shown to be free of peroxide) Compounds containing benzylic hydrogens Compounds containing allylic hydrogens (C=C-CH) Compounds containing a tertiary C-H group (e.g., decalin and 2,5-dimethlyhexane) Compounds containing conjugated, polyunsaturated alkenes and alkynes (e.g., 1,3-butadiene, vinyl acetylene) Compounds containing secondary or tertiary C-H groups adjacent to an amide (e.g., 1-methyl-2- pyrrolidinone Prudent Practices in the Laboratory: Handling and Management of Chemical Hazards, Updated Version General Procedures for working with Peroxide-forming chemicals: • Be aware of the use of peroxide-forming chemicals when designing or conducting a new experiment. • If possible, purchase material containing an inhibitor such as butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). • Date the container when received, opened and tested. • Consult Prudent Practices or other resources for storage shelf-life and testing procedures.

The carbocyclization step leads to C–SCN bond formation in tandem with C–C bond construction and is highly stereoselective, showing nearly absolute 1,2-anti-stereoinduction (5 examples) for substrates bearing allylic substitution, and nearly absolute 1,3- syn-stereoinduction (16 examples) for substrates bearing propargylic substitution.

The Department of Chemistry wants you to learn from our experiences. Amides, Dioxane, Ethers, secondary alcohols, and Tetrahydrofuran (as well as other cyclic ethers) must be checked for peroxides. The University of Pittsburgh Department of Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) recommends that all peroxide-forming chemicals should be tested every six months for peroxide content, and any chemicals that test positive should either be purified before use to remove the peroxide or discarded as chemical waste and replaced with fresh material. (http://www.ehs.pitt.edu/assets/docs/peroxide-forming.pdf). Ken Migliorese, a previous staff member, emailed the Department of Chemistry to remind us of the importance of doing peroxide testing on a regular basis. The need to test for peroxides was made clear to us by a series of unfortunate explosions which occurred in the undergraduate organic teaching labs in 2008. We had multiple defective layers of protection that caused failures of safety measures and three catastrophic errors (Reason).

  • Peroxide Forming Chemicals
    What are organic peroxides? Organic peroxides are a class of compounds that have unusual stability problems that make them among the most hazardous substances found in the laboratory. The lack of stability is due to the presence of an oxidation and reduction center within the same molecule. R-O-O-R R = organic side chains O-O = Peroxo bridge As a class, organic peroxides are considered to be powerful explosives and are sensitive to heat, friction, impact, light, as well as to strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Peroxide formers react with oxygen even at low concentrations to form peroxy compounds. Autoxidation of organic material proceeds by a free-radical chain mechanism and commonly affects organic solvents. R-H R- R-O-O R-O-O-R (In the presence of oxygen) The instability of the molecule (R-O-O-R) can cause auto-decomposition simply by bumping or jarring the container, addition of heat, light, or opening the cap. The risk associated with the peroxide increases if the peroxide crystallizes or becomes concentrated by evaporation or distillation. Peroxide crystals may form on the container plug or the threads of the cap and detonate as a result of twisting the lid. Classes of Peroxide Formers Aldehydes Ethers - especially cyclic ethers and those containing primary and secondary alcohol groups Compounds containing benzylic hydrogen atoms (particularly if the hydrogens are on tertiary carbon atoms) Compounds containing the allylic structure, including most alkenes. Vinyl and vinylidene compounds. Preventing Formation of Organic Peroxides No single method of inhibition of peroxide formation is suitable for all peroxide formers.

Yet, at the beginning of this century, List’s discovery of the (S)-proline- catalyzed direct asymmetric intermolecular aldol reaction [1] together with the development of an asymmetric Diels–Alder reaction catalyzed by a chiral imidazo- lidinone salt by MacMillan et al. [2] have raised awareness of the potential of purely organic molecules as efficient catalysts for a variety of asymmetric transformations and brought to life the term ‘‘organocatalysis’’ to address this research field (Scheme 2.1). 2.1.1 Historical Development Organocatalysis has a rich background as it is suggested that extraterrestrial, enantiomerically enriched amino acids such as (S)-alanine and (S)-isovaline played a decisive role in the prebiotic formation of key building blocks such as sugars by promoting the self-aldol reaction of glycolaldehydes in water [3].

  • The Mechanism of the Baeyer–Villiger Rearrangement: Quantum Chemistry and TST Study Supported by Experimental Kinetic Data†
    PAPER www.rsc.org/obc | Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry The mechanism of the Baeyer–Villiger rearrangement: quantum chemistry and TST study supported by experimental kinetic data† J. Raul Alvarez-Idaboy,*a Lino Reyesa and Nelaine Mora-Diezb Received 15th August 2007, Accepted 19th September 2007 First published as an Advance Article on the web 2nd October 2007 DOI: 10.1039/b712608e The mechanism of the Baeyer–Villiger rearrangement is modelled for the reaction of propanone with trifluoroperacetic acid, catalyzed by trifluoroacetic acid in dichloromethane, using three DFT methods (B3LYP, BH&HLYP and MPWB1K) and MP2. These results are refined and used to calculate the overall reaction rate coefficient using conventional Transition State Theory. The excellent agreement between the calculated (1.00 × 10−3 L mol−1 s−1) and the experimental (1.8 × 10−3 L mol−1 s−1)rate coefficients at the MPWB1K level strongly supports the mechanism recently proposed by our group. This DFT method is then used to study the mechanism of a larger system: cyclohexanone + trifluoroperacetic acid, for which a very good agreement between the calculated and the experimental rate coefficients is also found (1.37 and 0.32 L mol−1 s−1, respectively). The modelled mechanism is not ionic but neutral, and consists of two concerted steps. The first one is strongly catalyzed while the second one, the migration step, seems not to be catalyzed for the systems under study. The results of this work could be of interest for understanding other reactions in non-polar solvents for which ionic mechanisms have been assumed.
