Mueller, Andre,Stuermer, Rainer,Hauer, Bernhard,Rosche, Bettina
, p. 3316 - 3318 (2007)
Old enzyme, new trick: An environmentally sustainable alternative for the regio-and stereoselective reduction of the alkyne bond is the biotransformation by "Old Yellow Enzyme" (OYE). This "old" enzyme, first isolated in 1932, catalyzes the trans-selective hydrogenation of the carbon-carbon triple bond under mild conditions. (Chemical Equation Presented).

Palladium nanoparticles stabilized by thioether-phosphine ligands (1-3) were used as catalytic precursors in Heck-Mizoroki cross-coupling and CC reduction reactions in ionic liquids. The ionic liquid [EMI][MeHPO3] (A) exhibited an important hydrogen donor/acceptor behavior depending on the reaction conditions. Tandem or parallel pathways for C-C coupling and H-transfer reactions were observed, leading to the coupled product trans-4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one (I) and the corresponding reduced partner 4-phenylbutan-2-one (II) pointing to a molecular-like catalytic reactivity of the process. When the reaction was carried out under hydrogen pressure and low temperature, the reduction to II was inhibited by the presence of thioether-phosphine ligands.

Chromium alkenyl Fischer carbene complexes undergo selective [3+2] cyclization reactions to allenes in the presence of nickel(0) or rhodium(I) catalysts. Interestingly, the chemo- and regioselectivity of the process are entirely dependent on the nature of the metal. Copyright
Metalloporphyrin-catalyzed diastereoselective epoxidation of allyl-substituted alkenes
Chan, Wing-Kei,Wong, Man-Kin,Che, Chi-Ming
, p. 4226 - 4232 (2005)
By using [Mn(2,6-Cl2TPP)Cl] (1) as a catalyst and Oxone/H 2O2 as an oxidant, we have developed an efficient method for erythro-selective epoxidation of acyclic allyl-substituted alkenes, including allylic alcohols, amines, and esters. Up to 9:1 erythro selectivities for terminal allyllic alkenes could be achieved, which are significantly higher than that achieved using m-CPBA as an oxidant. In addition, the synthetic utilities of this epoxidation method were highlighted in stereoselective synthesis of key anti-HIV drug intermediates and epoxidation of glycals.

Phosphono-1,3-dienyl compounds 2 can be prepared by palladium cross-coupling reaction of β-phenyltelluro-vinylphosphonates or -vinylphosphine oxides with alkenes in the presence of a catalytic amount of PdCl2 and AcOAg as reoxidant agent at room temperature. The coupling reaction is stereospecific and the compounds 2 were obtained in good yields with total retention of configuration.
Highly dispersed nickel and palladium nanoparticle silica aerogels: Sol-gel processing of tethered metal complexes and application as catalysts in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction

, p. 1093 - 1097 (2006)
Highly dispersed Ni and Pd silica aerogels were prepared through sol-gel processes. They have been synthesized by tethering the metal to the silica matrix with the use of the complexing silanes AEAPTS [N-(aminoethyl)aminopropyl] trimethoxysilane or TRIAMIN [N-((aminoethyl)aminoethyl)aminopropyl] trimethoxysilane. The gels were dried with scCO2 to afford the aerogels. High metal dispersion and small particle sizes were observed through HRTEM and XRD measurements. The organic groups were removed by oxidation and/or pyrolysis. The Pd reduced aerogels containing 15-17% of palladium are good recoverable catalysts in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction. the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique 2006.

An Efficient Pd@Pro-GO heterogeneous catalyst was developed that can promote the α, β-dehydrogenation of saturated aldehyde and ketones in the yield of 73% ? 92% at mild conditions without extra oxidants and additives. Pd@Pro-GO heterogeneous catalyst was synthesized via two steps: firstly, the Pro-GO was obtained by the esterification reaction between graphene oxide (GO) and N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-L-proline (Boc-Pro-OH), followed by removing the protection group tert-Butoxycarbonyl (Boc), which endowed the proline-functionalized GO with both the lewis acid site (COOH) and the bronsted base site (NH), besides, the pyrrolidine of proline also can form imine with aldehydes to activate these substrates; Second, palladium was dispersed on the proline-functionalized GO (Pro-GO) to obtained heterogeneous catalyst Pd@Pro-GO. Mechanistic studies have shown that the Pd@Pro-GO-catalyzed α,β-dehydrogenation of saturated aldehyde and ketones was realized by an improved heterogeneously catalyzed Saegusa oxidation reaction. Based on the obove characteristics, the Pd@Pro-GO will be widely used in the transition metal catalytic field.

Curcumin (CUR) is a symmetrical dicarbonyl compound with antibacterial activity. On the other hand, pharmacokinetic and chemical stability limitations hinder its therapeutic application. Monocarbonyl analogs of curcumin (MACs) have been shown to overcome these barriers. We synthesized and investigated the antibacterial activity of a series of unsymmetrical MACs derived from acetone against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Gram-negative and Gram-positive species. Phenolic MACs 4, 6 and 8 showed a broad spectrum and potent activity, mainly against M. tuberculosis, Acinetobacter baumannii and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), with MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) values ranging from 0.9 to 15.6 μg/mL. The investigation regarding toxicity on human lung cells (MRC-5 and A549 lines) revealed MAC 4 was more selective than MACs 6 and 8, with SI (selectivity index) values ranging from 5.4 to 15.6. In addition, MAC 4 did not demonstrate genotoxic effects on A549 cells and it was more stable than CUR in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) for 24 h at 37 °C. Fluorescence and phase contrast microscopies indicated that MAC 4 has the ability to disrupt the divisome of Bacillus subtilis without damaging its cytoplasmic membrane. However, biochemical investigations demonstrated that MAC 4 did not affect the GTPase activity of B. subtilis FtsZ, which is the main constituent of the bacterial divisome. These results corroborated that MAC 4 is a promising antitubercular and antibacterial agent.

Antioxidants with high efficacy and low toxicity have the potential to treat cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (CIRI). Dienone monocarbonyl curcumin analogs (DMCA) capable of overcoming the instability and pharmacokinetic defects of curcumin possess notable antioxidant activity but are found to be significantly toxic. In this study, a novel skeleton of the monoenone monocarbonyl curcumin analogue sAc possessing reduced toxicity and improved stability was designed on the basis of the DMCA skeleton. Moreover, 32 sAc analogs were obtained by applying a green, simple, and economical synthetic method. Multiple sAc analogs with an antioxidant protective effect in PC12 cells were screened using an H2O2-induced oxidative stress damage model, and quantitative evaluation of structure–activity relationship (QSAR) model with regression coefficient of R2 = 0.918921 was built through random forest algorithm (RF). Among these compounds, the optimally active compound sAc15 elicited a potent protective effect on cell growth of PC12 cells by effectively eliminating ROS generation in response to oxidative stress injury by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant signaling pathway. In addition, sAc15 exhibited good protection against CIRI in the mice middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. In this paper, we provide a novel class of antioxidants and a potential compound for stroke treatment.
