Is There a Nitroalkane Anomaly?
نویسنده
چکیده
The abnormal Brfnsted slopes observed for nitroalkanes are interpreted as a variation in the work terms, which is caused by a variation in hydrogen bond strengths with the free energy for proton transfer, rather than as an anomaly in the proton-transfer stage itself.

Solvent polarization and kinetic isotope effects in nitroethane deprotonation and implications to the nitroalkane oxidase reaction.
We have carried out a mixed molecular dynamics and centroid path integral simulation using a combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical (QM/MM) potential to study the anomalous Brønsted relationship between rates and equilibria for deprotonation of nitroalkanes in water, which is known as the nitroalkane anomaly. The deprotonation process is catalyzed by nitroalkane oxidase. Our resul...
متن کاملDifferential quantum tunneling contributions in nitroalkane oxidase catalyzed and the uncatalyzed proton transfer reaction.
The proton transfer reaction between the substrate nitroethane and Asp-402 catalyzed by nitroalkane oxidase and the uncatalyzed process in water have been investigated using a path-integral free-energy perturbation method. Although the dominating effect in rate acceleration by the enzyme is the lowering of the quasiclassical free energy barrier, nuclear quantum effects also contribute to cataly...
متن کاملNitroalkanes as reductive substrates for flavoprotein oxidases.
Nitroalkanes have been found to be general reductive substrates for D-amino acid oxidase, glucose oxidase and L-amino acid oxidase. These enzymes show different specificities for the structure of the nitroalkane substrate. The stoichiometry of the D-amino acid oxidase reaction is straightforward, consisting of the production of one mole each of aldehyde, nitrite and hydrogen peroxide for each m...
متن کاملAn efficient method for the N-bromosuccinimide catalyzed synthesis of indolyl-nitroalkanes.
An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of indolyl-nitroalkane derivatives catalyzed by N-bromosuccinimide is described. The generality of this method was demonstrated by synthesizing an array of diverse 3-substituted indole derivatives by the reaction of different beta-nitrostyrenes with various substituted indoles. Simple reaction conditions accompanied by good yields of indolyl-n...
