Resumen

La anomalía del nitroalcano en el agua se explica por las diferencias de polarización del disolvente que afectan los estados de transición y los productos durante la desprotonación. La catálisis enzimática en la nitroalcana oxidasa estabiliza los estados de transición ayudando a la rehibridación.

Área de la Ciencia:

Química computacional es la química computacional.
La bioquímica es la bioquímica.
Química física es la química física de las cosas.

Sus antecedentes:

La anomalía del nitroalcano describe una inusual relación de Brønsted entre las velocidades de reacción y los equilibrios para la desprotonación del nitroalcano.
Este fenómeno es relevante en los sistemas biológicos, particularmente en la catálisis enzimática.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para dilucidar los mecanismos moleculares subyacentes a la anomalía del nitroalcano en solución acuosa.
Investigar el papel de los efectos del disolvente y los sitios activos de la enzima en la desprotonación de los nitroalcanes.

Principales métodos:

Se emplearon dinámicas moleculares mixtas y simulaciones integrales de trayectoria centróide.
Se utilizó un potencial mecánico cuántico y mecánico molecular (QM/MM) combinado para modelar el sistema.
Se calcularon los efectos cinéticos de los isótopos para evaluar la contribución del túnel.

Principales resultados:

El estudio identificó los efectos de polarización diferencial del disolvente en el estado de transición (TS) y los productos como un factor clave en la anomalía.
La rehibridación lenta del carbono C-alfa, en comparación con la ruptura de enlaces, conduce a una mala deslocalización de la carga e influye en los efectos del disolvente.
Los efectos del disolvente impactaron mínimamente los efectos del isótopo cinético, pero se observó un ligero aumento en el túnel.

Conclusiones:

Los hallazgos sugieren que las diferencias en las energías de reorganización del disolvente contribuyen significativamente a la anomalía del nitroalcano.
Facilitar la rehibridación C-alfa en el estado de transición es un mecanismo potencial para la estabilización dentro de la enzima nitroalcano oxidasa.

Hydroboration-Oxidation of Alkenes

Hydroboration-Oxidation of Alkenes

In addition to the oxymercuration–demercuration method, which converts the alkenes to alcohols with Markovnikov orientation, a complementary hydroboration-oxidation method yields the anti-Markovnikov product. The hydroboration reaction, discovered in 1959 by H.C. Brown, involves the addition of a B–H bond of borane to an alkene giving an organoborane intermediate. The oxidation of this intermediate with basic hydrogen peroxide forms an alcohol.

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration

A significant aspect of hydroboration–oxidation is the regio- and stereochemical outcome of the reaction.
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.

Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Osmium Tetraoxide

Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Osmium Tetraoxide

Alkenes are converted to 1,2-diols or glycols through a process called dihydroxylation. It involves the addition of two hydroxyl groups across the double bond with two different stereochemical approaches, namely anti and syn. Dihydroxylation using osmium tetroxide progresses with syn stereochemistry.

ortho–para-Directing Activators: –CH3, –OH, –&NoBreak;NH2, –OCH3

ortho–para-Directing Activators: –CH₃, –OH, –⁠NH₂, –OCH₃

All ortho–para directors, excluding halogens, are activating groups. These groups donate electrons to the ring, making the ring carbons electron-rich. Consequently, the reactivity of the aromatic ring towards electrophilic substitution increases. For instance, the nitration of anisole is about 10,000 times faster than the nitration of benzene. The electron-donating effect of the methoxy group in anisole activates the ortho and para positions on the ring and stabilizes the corresponding...

meta-Directing Deactivators: –NO₂, –CN, –CHO, –⁠CO₂R, –COR, –CO₂H

All meta-directing substituents are deactivating groups. These substituents withdraw electrons from the aromatic ring, making the ring less reactive toward electrophilic substitution. For example, the nitration of nitrobenzene is 100,000 times slower than that of benzene because of the deactivating effect of the nitro group. The first step in an electrophilic aromatic substitution is the addition of an electrophile to form a resonance-stabilized carbocation. The energy diagrams for the...

Nitrosation of Enols

Nitrosation of Enols

The nitrosation reaction is one of the methods of preparing 1,2-diketones. The enol tautomer of the starting ketone reacts with sodium nitrite in hydrochloric acid, generating the 1,2-diketone after hydrolysis.
