Module I Oxidation Reactions NPTEL – Chemistry – Reagents and Organic reactions Module I Oxidation Reactions Lecture 1 1.1 Osmium Oxidants 1.1.1 Introduction Osmium is the densest (density 22.59 gcm-3) transition metal naturally available. It has seven naturally occurring isotopes, six of which are stable: 184Os, 187Os, 188Os, 189Os, 190Os, and 192Os. It forms compounds with oxidation states ranging from -2 to +8, among them, the most common oxidation states are +2, +3, +4 and +8. Some important osmium catalyzed organic oxidation reactions follow: 1.1.2 Dihydroxylation of Alkenes Cis-1,2-dihydroxylation of alkenes is a versatile process, because cis-1,2-diols are present in many important natural products and biologically active molecules. There are several methods available for cis-1,2-dihydroxylation of alkenes, among them, the OsO4-catalzyed reactions are more valuable (Scheme 1). OsO4 vapours are poisonous and result in damage to the respiratory tract and temporary damage to the eyes. Use OsO4 powder only in a well-ventilated hood with extreme caution. Y.

A variety of oxidizing agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, metal chlorates, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide, molecular oxygen, sodium periodate and sodium hypochlorite, have been found to be effective (Scheme 3- 7).

This reaction is known as Lemieux-Johnson Oxidation. NaIO4 oxidizes the reduced osmium(VI) to osmium(VIII) along with the oxidative cleavage of the diols. Mechanism The reaction involves the formation of cyclic osmate ester, which undergoes oxidative cleavage with NaIO4 to give the dicarbonyl compounds (Scheme 9).

Sharpless group attempted to solve this problem by adding chiral substrate to the osmylation reagents, with the goal of producing a chiral osmate intermediate (Scheme 10). The most effective chiral additives were found to be the cinchona alkaloids, especially esters of dihydorquinidines such as DHQ and DHQD. The % ee of the diol product is good to excellent with a wide range of alkenes.

In this process, alkene reacts with chloroamine in the presence of OsO4 to give sulfonamides that is readily converted into the cis-1,2-hydroxyamines by cleavage with sodium in liquid ammonia (Scheme 13). This process provides a direct cis-aminohydroxylation of alkenes, but the major problem is the poor regioselectivity for unsymmetrical alkenes. TsHN R' Na/liq.

Experiments under stoichiometric conditions have been shown that imidotrioxo osmium(VIII) complexes transfer the nitrogen atom and one of the oxygen atoms into the substrate. The major regioisomer normally has the nitrogen placed distal to the most electron withdrawing group of the substrate.

H E + E Y + Y H δ+ δ− The mechanism is the same regardless of the electrophile. It involves two steps: (1) Addition of the electrophile to form a high-energy carbocation. (2) Elimination of the proton to restore the aromatic ring system. H H H H slow E Y + Y step 1 + E δ+ δ− high energy arenium ion H H step 2 fast E E + Y + Y H The first step is the slow step since the aromaticity of the benzene ring system is destroyed on formation of the arenium ion intermediate. This is a high energy species but it is stabilized by resonance with the remaining two double bonds. The second step is very fast since it restores the aromatic stabilization. 1 CH. 13 H H H H H H E E E There are five electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions that we will study.

  • Alcohol Oxidation
    Alcohol oxidation Alcohol oxidation is an important organic reaction. Primary alcohols (R-CH2-OH) can be oxidized either Mechanism of oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids via aldehydes and The indirect oxidation of aldehyde hydrates primary alcohols to carboxylic acids normally proceeds via the corresponding aldehyde, which is transformed via an aldehyde hydrate (R- CH(OH)2) by reaction with water. The oxidation of a primary alcohol at the aldehyde level is possible by performing the reaction in absence of water, so that no aldehyde hydrate can be formed. Contents Oxidation to aldehydes Oxidation to ketones Oxidation to carboxylic acids Diol oxidation References Oxidation to aldehydes Oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes is partial oxidation; aldehydes are further oxidized to carboxylic acids. Conditions required for making aldehydes are heat and distillation. In aldehyde formation, the temperature of the reaction should be kept above the boiling point of the aldehyde and below the boiling point of the alcohol. Reagents useful for the transformation of primary alcohols to aldehydes are normally also suitable for the oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones. These include: Oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones Chromium-based reagents, such as Collins reagent (CrO3·Py2), PDC or PCC. Sulfonium species known as "activated DMSO" which can result from reaction of DMSO with electrophiles, such as oxalyl chloride (Swern oxidation), a carbodiimide (Pfitzner-Moffatt oxidation) or the complex SO3·Py (Parikh-Doering oxidation). Hypervalent iodine compounds, such as Dess-Martin periodinane or 2-Iodoxybenzoic acid. Catalytic TPAP in presence of excess of NMO (Ley oxidation). Catalytic TEMPO in presence of excess bleach (NaOCl) (Oxoammonium-catalyzed oxidation).

  • Ganic Compounds
    6-1 SECTION 6 NOMENCLATURE AND STRUCTURE OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Many organic compounds have common names which have arisen historically, or have been given to them when the compound has been isolated from a natural product or first synthesised. As there are so many organic compounds chemists have developed rules for naming a compound systematically, so that it structure can be deduced from its name. This section introduces this systematic nomenclature, and the ways the structure of organic compounds can be depicted more simply than by full Lewis structures. The language is based on Latin, Greek and German in addition to English, so a classical education is beneficial for chemists! Greek and Latin prefixes play an important role in nomenclature: Greek Latin ½ hemi semi 1 mono uni 1½ sesqui 2 di bi 3 tri ter 4 tetra quadri 5 penta quinque 6 hexa sexi 7 hepta septi 8 octa octo 9 ennea nona 10 deca deci Organic compounds: Compounds containing the element carbon [e.g. methane, butanol]. (CO, CO2 and carbonates are classified as inorganic.) See page 1-4. Special characteristics of many organic compounds are chains or rings of carbon atoms bonded together, which provides the basis for naming, and the presence of many carbon- hydrogen bonds. The valency of carbon in organic compounds is 4. Hydrocarbons: Compounds containing only the elements C and H. Straight chain hydrocarbons are named according to the number of carbon atoms: CH4, methane; C2H6 or H3C-CH3, ethane; C3H8 or H3C-CH2-CH3, propane; C4H10 or H3C-CH2- CH2-CH3, butane; C5H12 or CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3, pentane; C6H14 or CH3(CH2)4CH3, hexane; C7H16, heptane; C8H18, octane; C9H20, nonane; C10H22, CH3(CH2)8CH3, decane.

  • Comparative Responses of Rice (Oryza Sativa) Straw to Urea Supplementation and Urea Treatment
    COMPARATIVE RESPONSES OF RICE (ORYZA SATIVA) STRAW TO UREA SUPPLEMENTATION AND UREA TREATMENT M. N. A. Kumar1, K. Sundareshan, E. G. Jagannath S. R. Sampath and P. T. Doyle2 Southern Regional Station, National Dairy Research Institute, Bangalore - 560030, India Summary Twenty five 75% Holstein Friesian cross bred bullocks fed rice straw (Oryza saliva) of long form, were fed with the following five treatments. 1. Rice straw, untreated (RS) 2. RS + water (1:1), stored for 24 hours (WRS) 3. RS (100 kg) + urea solution (4 kg urea/100 litre water) and dried (USRS) 4. RS (100 kg) + urea solution (as in 3) stored in wet condition for 24 hours (UWRS) 5. RS (100 kg) + urea solution (as in 3) stored in pit for 21 days (UTRS). Potential digestibility of treatments of RS was evaluated by monitoring (in vitro) Simulating Rumen like Fermentation (SRLF). The results indicated that Dry Matter Intake (DMI), digestibility of nutrients, N utilization were of the order UTRS > UWRS > USRS > WRS and RS (p < 0.05 to P < 0.01). SRLF index was high (255.84) for UTRS and least (145.58) for USRS. It was interm­ ediary (199.66) for UWRS. The acetyl content (AC) of UTRS with higher hemicellulose (HCE) dig­ estibility (80.8%) was low compared to UWRS, USRS, RS and WRS. The acetate content was of the order UTRS < UWRS < USRS < WRS and RS thereby indicating that reduction in acetyl con­ tent was an index of positive response of urea-treatment of RS. In addition, the ratio of HCE/AC in faeces of UTRS was 0.87 as against the ratios (2.26-2.48) observed in other treatments recording reduction jn AC due to urea-treatinent.

Thoden and Hazel M. Holden* Department of Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706 Received April 14, 2010; Revised Manuscript Received April 29, 2010 ABSTRACT: The pathogenic bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bordetella pertussis contain in their outer membranes the rare sugar 2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-mannuronic acid. Five enzymes are required for the biosynthesis of this sugar starting from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine. One of these, referred to as WlbB, is an N-acetyltransferase that converts UDP-2-acetamido-3-amino-2,3-dideoxy-D-glucuronic acid (UDP- GlcNAc3NA) to UDP-2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcNAc3NAcA). Here we report the three-dimensional structure of WlbB from Bordetella petrii. For this analysis, two ternary structures were determined to 1.43 A˚resolution: one in which the protein was complexed with acetyl-CoA and UDP and the second in which the protein contained bound CoA and UDP-GlcNAc3NA. WlbB adopts a trimeric quaternary structure and belongs to the LβH superfamily of N-acyltransferases. Each subunit contains 27 β-strands, 23 of which form the canonical left-handed β-helix. There are only two hydrogen bonds that occur between the protein and the GlcNAc3NA moiety, one between Oδ1 of Asn 84 and the sugar C-30 amino group and the second between the backbone amide group of Arg 94 and the sugar C-50 carboxylate.

  • Intramolecular Ene Reactions of Functionalised Nitroso Compounds
    INTRAMOLECULAR ENE REACTIONS OF FUNCTIONALISED NITROSO COMPOUNDS A Thesis Presented by Sandra Luengo Arratta In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Award of the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON Christopher Ingold Laboratories Department of Chemistry University College London 20 Gordon Street London WC1H 0AJ July 2010 DECLARATION I Sandra Luengo Arratta, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where work has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ABSTRACT This thesis concerns the generation of geminally functionalised nitroso compounds and their subsequent use in intramolecular ene reactions of types I and II, in order to generate hydroxylamine derivatives which can evolve to the corresponding nitrones. The product nitrones can then be trapped in the inter- or intramolecular mode by a variety of reactions, including 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions, thereby leading to diversity oriented synthesis. The first section comprises the chemistry of the nitroso group with a brief discussion of the current methods for their generation together with the scope and limitations of these methods for carrying out nitroso ene reactions, with different examples of its potential as a powerful synthetic method to generate target drugs. The second chapter describes the results of the research programme and opens with the development of methods for the generation of functionalised nitroso compounds from different precursors including oximes and nitro compounds, using a range of reactants and conditions. The application of these methods in intramolecular nitroso ene reactions is then discussed. Chapter three presents the conclusions which have been drawn from the work presented in chapter two, and provides suggestions for possible directions of this research in the future.

Miguel Madeira Examiner in FEUP: Eng. Fernando Martins Supervisor in ICT: Doc. Ing Petr Zámostný July 2008 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Doc. Ing. Petr Zámostný for the opportunity to hold a master's thesis in this project, the orientation, the support given during the laboratory work and suggestions for improvement through the work. i Hydrocarbons Thermal Cracking Selectivity Depending on Their Structure and Cracking Parameters Abstract This research deals with the study of hydrocarbon thermal cracking with the aim of producing ethylene, one of the most important raw materials in Chemical Industry. The main objective was the study of cracking reactions of hydrocarbons by means of measuring the selectivity of hydrocarbons primary cracking and evaluating the relationship between the structure and the behavior. This project constitutes one part of a bigger project involving the study of more than 30 hydrocarbons with broad structure variability. The work made in this particular project was focused on the study of the double bond position effect in linear unsaturated hydrocarbons. Laboratory experiments were carried out in the Laboratory of Gas and Pyrolysis Chromatography at the Department of Organic Technology, Institute of Chemical Technology, Prague, using for all experiments the same apparatus, Pyrolysis Gas Chromatograph, to increase the reliability and feasibility of results obtained. Linear octenes with different double bond position in hydrocarbon chain were used as model compounds. In order to achieve these goals, the primary cracking reactions were studied by the method of primary selectivities.
