ABSTRACT Reviews of hydroxylation procedures for phenols and synthetic uses of organo-selenium compounds are presented. The nature and chemical properties of diphenylseleninic anhydride are discussed. Diphenylseleninic anhydride has been used to oxidise simple and tetracycline model phenols; the products being hydroxydien- ones (e.g. 2-Carboxymethy1-3,4-dihydroxy-4„5-dimethylcyclohexa-2„5- dienone (A) ), quinones (e.g. 2-Carboxymethy1-5„6-dimethyl-3-hydroxy- benzoquinone (B) ), and phenylseleno-substituted species (e.g. Methyl 2„6-dihydroxy-314-dimethy1-5-phenylselenobenzoate (C) ). SePh OH OH 1 CO2Me OH OH (A ) (B) (C) Prior formation of the phenolate anion, generally increased the yield of o-hydroxylation. The various mechanistic aspects of these transformations are discussed. Over•oxidation products (e.g. 3-t-butyl-5-phenylseleno-l„2-benzo- quinone (D) ) were sometimes encounted„ if excess diphenylseleninic an- hydride was used, or by inverse addition procedures. The use of hexamethyldisilyl amide to generate the phenolate anions prior to treatment with diphenylseleninic anhydride, lead to the formation of novel selenoimines (e.g. 4„6-Dimethyl-1,2-benzoqui- none monophenylseleno-2-imine (E) ). The structures and mechanism of formation are presented. 5.

INTRODUCTION The most important antibiotics in modern therapy were discovered between 1940 and 1960. Since then, relatively few antibiotics of tho- roughly novel structure and action have come into use. The advance- ments during the last decade have been achieved mainly by chemical modifications of the classical antibiotics . 1 The first tetracycline was aureomycin (1), isolated by Duggar in 1948 from streptomyces aurefaciens, followed by terramycin (2) , which was obtained by Finlay et al.2 in 1950 from streptomyces ri- mosus. Structural elucidation was achieved by Woodward and a research team at Chas-Pfizer and Co.5 . 7 6 4 8 9 10 11 12 1 R2 I Cl H II H OH 8. The chemistry of tetracyclines has been the subject of extensive 4 reviews and a number of Ph.D. theses at Imperial College5 . (The numbering system, which will be used throughout this thesis with reference to the linear naphthacene skeleton, is shown in (1) ). 9. HYDROXYLATION OF PHENOLS. The synthetic route to the tetracyclines employed at Imperial College necessitates, at some stage, the intruduction of the l2a- hydroxyl group into the aromatic ring A of a tetracyclic intermediate. OH COR~ OH o o OH o OH o A large number of oxidation studies on model phenols have been underta- ken with the objective of creating ortho-hydroxydienones. A stmmary of' this work follows. i.) Lead Tetra-acetate. 6 In 1950, Wessely et ale examined lead tetra-acetate in acetic acid as a potential reagent to convert phenols into quinol acetates. It was shown, that para-substituted phenols form, in alcoholic solution, the co­ responding para-quinol ethers7 . Ortho-quinol derivatives could only be obtained from an ortho-substituted phenol. If, however, an ortho- and para- position can be attacked, the acetoxy group usually enters preferentially at the ortho-position. This position remains the reactive centre even when substituted with bulky groups such as methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl or sec-butyl. However, a t-butyl substituent drastically reduces attack at 8 the ortho Position . Phenols with an uno~cupied ortho position giv~ ortho- quinone diacetates (III and IV) ,: in addition to, or instead of, tl-., quinol acetates (I and II)9 • Those phenols having a free para positicD:!a'.1. give 10. p-quinones as minor or in some cases major products OH 0 0 4- R OAc R (I) OH 0 1 0 (Iv) 2,4,6-Trimethylphenol (mesitol), being a diortho aswell as para - substituted phenol, affords upon treatment with lead tetra-acetate, 2- acetoxy-2,4,6-trimethyl cyclohexadienone (V) . (V) Similarly 2„4-dimethylphenol was converted to the corresponding dienone, which was isolated as its dimer. The accepted mechanism for the Wessely acetoxylation involves an in- 11 tramolecular reaction . 11. product Pb(0Ac)2 'Intramolecular electrophilic mechanism for the Wessely acetoxylation' Although the Wessely acetoxylation does not show a general preference for reaction at an ortho carbon with some substrates (such as mesitol), the proportion of ortho attack exceeds statistical predictions. The preference cannot be attributed to obvious steric or electronic factors in terms of 12 intermolecular substitution . OH 0 e +0Ac prod. R Pb(0Ac)3 R tR -- co pboA02 Me 'Electrophilic mechanism for Wessely acetoxylation,involving plumbylation followed by intramolecular substitution '. In summary„the evidence suggests, acetoxylation proceeds via inter- molecular electrophilic attack, involving initial formation of a lead triacetate intermediate. Although there is no evidence clearly favouring initial C-plumbylation or direct acetoxylation of phenols by lead tetra- acetate, there is no doubt, that the phenolic substrate is attacked elec- 12. 13 trophilically rather than either nucleophilically or homolytically . ii.) Sodium Periodate. dl A er showed that 2,4-dimehylphenol with sodium periodate in aqueous or dilute acetic acid solution gave the corresponding o-quinol as its dimer, together with its Diels-Alder adduct with 3,5-dimethyl- o-benzoquinone. OH OH 0 Similar results were obtained with 2,6-dimethylphenol15 . However, the para-quinol could be isolated as a minor component in the oxidation of 2„4-dimethylphenol and 2,4,6-trimethylpheno114' 16 . Adler et al. pro- posed a mechanism for the oxidation based on studies of the periodate- 17 induced demethylation of catechol monoethers in 018-labelled water . In the reaction it could not be determined, whether the attack by sol- vent HOX takes place on the iodate ester by SN 2' process, or whether the ester undergoes loss of iodate and hydroxylation by an S 1 process. N An intramolecular ortho-attack via a cyclic diester is possible, but 10 thought unlikely, as pars:.- tack is equally rapid . 13. HO /0 HOX /I=0 0`1.0e XO HOX -H20 In conclusion, aqueous sodium periodate oxidises phenols, depending on the substitution pattern, to o- and E-quinones, aswell as o- and 1D- quinols. The solvent was shown to participate in the reaction, since H2180 gave labelled o- and 2.-quinones. Recently it was shown, that the use of periodic acid, H5106, gave less pronouced para oxidation of phe- 18 nols . iii.) Acylperoxide and Peracetic Acid. There is some confusion in the earlier literature on the reaction 19 between phenols and diacyl peroxides . As a result of work carried out 20 in these laboratories clarification of this oxidation was achieved. Thus treatment of sodium mesitate with benzoyl peroxide in ether at -20. yields the ortho-dienone (VI) as the major product. A certain amount of the para-dienone can be obtained upon heating (VI) to 120.. The rearran- 21 gement was explained in terms of a thermal sigmatropic (3,3) suprafacial migration of the acyloxy group along the periphery of the cyclodienone 14.

  • Why Nature Chose Selenium Hans J
    Reviews pubs.acs.org/acschemicalbiology Why Nature Chose Selenium Hans J. Reich*, ‡ and Robert J. Hondal*,† † University of Vermont, Department of Biochemistry, 89 Beaumont Ave, Given Laboratory, Room B413, Burlington, Vermont 05405, United States ‡ University of WisconsinMadison, Department of Chemistry, 1101 University Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, United States ABSTRACT: The authors were asked by the Editors of ACS Chemical Biology to write an article titled “Why Nature Chose Selenium” for the occasion of the upcoming bicentennial of the discovery of selenium by the Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius in 1817 and styled after the famous work of Frank Westheimer on the biological chemistry of phosphate [Westheimer, F. H. (1987) Why Nature Chose Phosphates, Science 235, 1173−1178]. This work gives a history of the important discoveries of the biological processes that selenium participates in, and a point-by-point comparison of the chemistry of selenium with the atom it replaces in biology, sulfur. This analysis shows that redox chemistry is the largest chemical difference between the two chalcogens. This difference is very large for both one-electron and two-electron redox reactions. Much of this difference is due to the inability of selenium to form π bonds of all types. The outer valence electrons of selenium are also more loosely held than those of sulfur. As a result, selenium is a better nucleophile and will react with reactive oxygen species faster than sulfur, but the resulting lack of π-bond character in the Se−O bond means that the Se-oxide can be much more readily reduced in comparison to S-oxides.

They were considered only as toxic byproducts for many years. Nowadays, peroxides are also regarded as metabolic products that play essential physiological cellular roles. Organisms have developed efficient mechanisms to metabolize peroxides, mostly based on two kinds of redox chemistry, catalases/peroxidases that depend on the heme prosthetic group to afford peroxide reduction and thiol-based peroxidases that support their redox activities on specialized fast reacting cysteine/selenocysteine (Cys/Sec) residues. Among the last group, glutathione peroxidases (GPxs) and peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are the most widespread and abundant families, and they are the leitmotif of this review. After presenting the properties and roles of different peroxides in biology, we discuss the chemical mechanisms of peroxide reduction by low molecular weight thiols, Prxs, GPxs, and other thiol-based peroxidases. Special attention is paid to the catalytic properties of Prxs and also to the importance and comparative outlook of the properties of Sec and its role in GPxs.

As a part of our investigation in the use of organoselenium cataysts in bio-mimetic oxidative protocol we reported here some preliminary results on the oxidation of benzyl alcohol into the corresponding benzoic acid. Keywords: alcohol; oxidation; selenium; catalysis; carboxylic acids; hydrogen peroxide; green chemistry During the last years, some of us introduced the term “Bio-Logic-catalysis” to indicate the bioinspired use of organoselenium catalysts in some oxidation reactions (Fig. 1). These were effected using hydrogen peroxide as reactive species of oxygen, water as medium and seleninic acid as the catalyst involved in a mechanism that has been demonstrated to be very similar to that of the naturally occurring enzyme glutathione peroxidase.1 Following this protocol, the direct 1,2 dihydroxylation of olefins was carried out in appreciable yield and with a significant chemo and stereocontrol.2 Similarly, the oxidation of aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids or esters can be easily achieved under mild conditions, which is normally associated to a high level of atom economy.3 1 C.
