  • Prebiological Evolution and the Metabolic Origins of Life
    Prebiological Evolution and the Andrew J. Pratt* Metabolic Origins of Life University of Canterbury Keywords Abiogenesis, origin of life, metabolism, hydrothermal, iron Abstract The chemoton model of cells posits three subsystems: metabolism, compartmentalization, and information. A specific model for the prebiological evolution of a reproducing system with rudimentary versions of these three interdependent subsystems is presented. This is based on the initial emergence and reproduction of autocatalytic networks in hydrothermal microcompartments containing iron sulfide. The driving force for life was catalysis of the dissipation of the intrinsic redox gradient of the planet. The codependence of life on iron and phosphate provides chemical constraints on the ordering of prebiological evolution. The initial protometabolism was based on positive feedback loops associated with in situ carbon fixation in which the initial protometabolites modified the catalytic capacity and mobility of metal-based catalysts, especially iron-sulfur centers. A number of selection mechanisms, including catalytic efficiency and specificity, hydrolytic stability, and selective solubilization, are proposed as key determinants for autocatalytic reproduction exploited in protometabolic evolution. This evolutionary process led from autocatalytic networks within preexisting compartments to discrete, reproducing, mobile vesicular protocells with the capacity to use soluble sugar phosphates and hence the opportunity to develop nucleic acids. Fidelity of information transfer in the reproduction of these increasingly complex autocatalytic networks is a key selection pressure in prebiological evolution that eventually leads to the selection of nucleic acids as a digital information subsystem and hence the emergence of fully functional chemotons capable of Darwinian evolution. 1 Introduction: Chemoton Subsystems and Evolutionary Pathways Living cells are autocatalytic entities that harness redox energy via the selective catalysis of biochemical transformations.

  • Stereochemistry of Bruice's Organic Chemistry Before Embarking on Comprehending This Summary
    Enantioselective synthesis It helps if you review the concepts in Chapter 5: Stereochemistry of Bruice's Organic Chemistry before embarking on comprehending this summary Most of the molecules on earth are chiral, such as amino acids and carbohydrates. Enantioselective synthesis is an important means by which enantiopure chiral molecules may be obtained for study and medicine. The study of enantioselective synthesis has evolved from issues of diastereoselectivity, through auxiliary-based methods for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds (diastereoselectivity followed by separation and auxiliary cleavage), to asymmetric catalysis. In the latter technology, enantiomers are the products, and highly selective reactions allow preparation - in a single step - of chiral substances in high enantiomeric excess (ee) for many reaction types. Enantioselective synthesis, also known as asymmetric synthesis, is organic synthesis that introduces one or more new and desired elements of chirality. This methodology is important in the field of pharmaceuticals because the different enantiomers or diastereomers of a molecule often have different biological activity. See examples from Chapter 5 of Bruice's Organic Chemistry. Methodologies of Asymmetric Synthesis Chiral pool synthesis Chiral pool synthesis is the easiest approach: A chiral starting material is manipulated through successive reactions using achiral reagents that retain its chirality to obtain the desired target molecule. This is especially attractive for target molecules having the similar chirality to a relatively inexpensive naturally occurring building-block such as a sugar or amino acid. However, the number of possible reactions the molecule can undergo is restricted, and lengthy synthetic routes may be required. Also, this approach requires a stoichiometric amount of the enantiopure starting material, which may be rather expensive if not occurring in nature, whereas chiral catalysis requires only a catalytic amount of chiral material.

  • Reactions of Alkenes Since  Bonds Are Stronger Than  Bonds, Double Bonds Tend to React to Convert the Double Bond Into  Bonds
    Reactions of Alkenes Since bonds are stronger than bonds, double bonds tend to react to convert the double bond into bonds This is an addition reaction. (Other types of reaction have been substitution and elimination). Addition reactions are typically exothermic. Electrophilic Addition The bond is localized above and below the C-C bond. The electrons are relatively far away from the nuclei and are therefore loosely bound. An electrophile will attract those electrons, and can pull them away to form a new bond. This leaves one carbon with only 3 bonds and a +ve charge (carbocation). The double bond acts as a nucleophile (attacks the electrophile). Ch08 Reacns of Alkenes (landscape) Page 1 In most cases, the cation produced will react with another nucleophile to produce the final overall electrophilic addition product. Electrophilic addition is probably the most common reaction of alkenes. Consider the electrophilic addition of H-Br to but-2-ene: The alkene abstracts a proton from the HBr, and a carbocation and bromide ion are generated. The bromide ion quickly attacks the cationic center and yields the final product. In the final product, H-Br has been added across the double bond. Ch08 Reacns of Alkenes (landscape) Page 2 Orientation of Addition Consider the addition of H-Br to 2-methylbut-2-ene: There are two possible products arising from the two different ways of adding H-Br across the double bond. But only one is observed. The observed product is the one resulting from the more stable carbocation intermediate. Tertiary carbocations are more stable than secondary.

  • Chapter 8 - Alkenes and Alkynes II
    Andrew Rosen Chapter 8 - Alkenes and Alkynes II 8.1 - Addition Reactions of Alkenes - Electrons in the π bond of alkenes react with electrophiles 8.2 - Electrophilic Addition of Hydrogen Halides to Alkenes: Mechanism and Markovnikov's Rule - Hydrogen halides can add to the double bond of alkenes - The order of reactivity of the hydrogen halides in alkene addition is HI > HBr > HCl > HF - Markovnikov's rule states that in the addition of HX to an alkene, the halide atom adds to the carbon atom of the original double bond with the fewer amount of hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen of HX will bond to the carbon atom of the greater amount of hydrogen atoms. This is precisely the same thing as stabilizing a carbocation intermediate by having the nucleophile go to the more substituted carbon - More accurately, the negative portion of an unsymmetrical ionic addition reagent will bond to the carbon of the double bond with the fewer amount of hydrogen atoms while the more positive reagent will restore the stability of the carbocation - Note that this is not in water. Typically, this will happen when the solvent is not listed - A reaction is regioselective if it can potentially yield two or more constitutional isomers but produces a predominance of one 8.3 - Stereochemistry of the Ionic Addition to an Alkene - The enantiomers are produced in equal amounts because the carbocation is trigonal planar 8.4 - Addition of Sulfuric Acid to Alkenes - Adds a hydroxide group onto the alkene via Markovnikov's Rule Allyl and Benzyl Carbocations - Resonance can stabilize a product - Revised Carbocation Stability Trend: Methyl < Primary < Secondary ≈ Primary allylic ≈ Primary benzylic < Tertiary ≈ Secondary allylic ≈ Secondary benzylic < Tertiary allylic ≈ Tertiary benzylic 1 8.5 - Addition of Water to Alkenes: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration - Note how this, too, follows Markovnikov's Rule - in is the same as + because will be a strong acid (except for ), and the solvent is in HX H2O H3O HX HF larger quantities.

  • CHAPTER 3 STEREOCHEMISTRY 3.1 Geometrical Isomers in Alkenes
    CHAPTER 3 STEREOCHEMISTRY Many properties of organic compounds are associated with the shape of the molecule. The "two" compounds below are isomers of Carvone, with different orientations of the isopropenyl function. One isomer (the S isomer) has the smell of spearmint whereas the other isomer (the R isomer) has the smell of caraway. The smells are a result of the way the isomers interact with receptors to send signals to the brain. Many reactions, both chemical and biological, show effects of molecular shape. O O CH3 CH3 H H CH3 CH3 R-Carvone S-Carvone Spearmint Caraway 3.1 Geometrical Isomers in Alkenes The p-bond in an alkene does not permit rotation, thus all of the atoms attached directly to the alkene lie in a plane. Groups attached to the alkene could be positioned on the same side of the alkene or on opposite sides of the alkene. Such compounds are different in chemical and physical properties as well as in their geometry, and are called geometrical isomers. In 2-butene the methyl groups can be located on the same side or on the opposite side of the double bond, giving rise to two geometrical isomers. The isomer with the methyl groups on the same side is called the cis isomer, while the isomer with the groups located on opposite sides is called the trans isomer. Trans isomers of compounds are usually more stable than cis isomers. CH CH3 CH3 3 H C C C C H H H CH3 cis- 2-butene trans- 2-butene 42 Ch 3 Stereochemistry Except for very simple alkenes with hydrogen atoms on each carbon of the alkene, the designations of cis and trans for alkenes are replaced by a system that uses E and Z designations.
