Phase I Reactions: Oxidation of Aliphatic and Aromatic Carbon-Containing Systems01:19

Phase I Reactions: Oxidation of Aliphatic and Aromatic Carbon-Containing Systems

736
Phase I biotransformation reactions are integral to drug metabolism, predominantly involving oxidative, reductive, and hydrolytic transformations. Chief among these are oxidative reactions, which enhance the hydrophilicity of xenobiotics and introduce polar functional groups to facilitate their elimination from the body.
Oxidation reactions are fundamental in aromatic carbon-containing systems. An example is the hydroxylation of phenobarbital, a process that transforms it into...

Basicity of Aliphatic Amines01:21

Basicity of Aliphatic Amines

6.9K
Amines can behave as Brønsted–Lowry bases by accepting a proton from the acid to form corresponding conjugate acids. Due to a lone pair of nonbonding electrons, aliphatic amines can also act as Lewis bases by forming a covalent bond with an electrophile.
To measure the basicity of amines, two conventions are generally used. The first defines Kb as the basicity constant for the deprotonation reaction of water by the amine, as presented in Figure 1. Conventionally, lower Kb indicates higher...

Oxidation Numbers03:14

Oxidation Numbers

42.8K
In redox reactions, the transfer of electrons occurs between reacting species. Electron transfer is described by a hypothetical number called the oxidation number (or oxidation state). It represents the effective charge of an atom or element, which is assigned using a set of rules.

Pyruvate Oxidation01:15

Pyruvate Oxidation

169.0K
After glycolysis, the charged pyruvate molecules enter the mitochondria via active transport and undergo three enzymatic reactions. These reactions ensure that pyruvate can enter the next metabolic pathway so that energy stored in the pyruvate molecules can be harnessed by the cells.
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...

Stages of Infection01:26

Stages of Infection

65.3K
Stages of infection describe what happens to a susceptible host once a pathogen invades the human body. The stages of infection are incubation, prodromal, illness, stage of decline, and convalescence. The incubation stage is the period from exposure to a pathogen until symptoms start. The infected person is unaware of impending illness as the pathogens grow and multiply within the body. The duration may vary depending on the type of infection. The incubation period of measles averages ten to...

Area of Science:

  • Organic Chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Synthetic Methodology

Background:

  • Traditional synthesis relies on existing molecular features for functionalization.
  • Directed C-H oxidation extends this logic but is limited by substrate structure.
  • Undirected C-H oxidation offers greater synthetic flexibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a historical perspective on the challenges of selective C-H oxidation.
  • To highlight the discovery and impact of non-directed C-H hydroxylation catalysis.
  • To demonstrate the control over site-selectivity through catalyst design.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical C-H oxidation strategies.
  • Discussion of Fe(PDP)-catalyzed non-directed aliphatic C-H hydroxylations.
  • Analysis of electronic, steric, and stereoelectronic factors influencing site-selectivity.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated that aliphatic C-H bonds can be selectively oxidized without directing groups.
  • Established rules for predicting and controlling site-selectivity in C-H oxidation.
  • Showcased catalyst tuning (e.g., Fe(CF3-PDP)) to alter oxidation site.

Conclusions:

  • The development of undirected C-H oxidation has revolutionized synthetic chemistry.
  • Precise control over site-selectivity is achievable through catalyst modification.
  • Enables late-stage functionalization for efficient molecule diversification.
