Mechanism of alcohol oxidation mediated by copper(II) and nitroxyl radicals.
2,2'-Bipyridine-ligated copper complexes, in combination with TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl), are highly effective catalysts for aerobic alcohol oxidation. Considerable uncertainty and debate exist over the mechanism of alcohol oxidation mediated by Cu(II) and TEMPO. Here, we report experimental and density functional theory (DFT) computational studies that distinguish among numer...
متن کاملNitroxyl radicals: electrochemical redox behaviour and structure-activity relationships.
Comparative study of electrochemical redox behaviour of five different nitroxyl radicals leads to the direct correlation between one-electron redox potentials and group electronegativity of the beta-substituent on the ring. Beta-substituents with an electron-donating effect caused a negative shift in the one-electron oxidation and one-electron reduction potentials of the nitroxyl radicals. In a...
متن کاملEffect of oxygen on the electrochemical reduction of nitroxyl radical: interpretation of the mechanism for a redox probe in biological systems.
Though this reaction has been widely employed as a redox probe in biological systems,1–4 we have a question as to why the reduced form of the nitroxyl radicals effectively works as a redox probe for oxidative stress in vivo regardless of their slow oxidation at electrodes, and their irreversible electrochemical property.5–7 We cannot help commenting that its reaction mechanism has been sufficie...
متن کاملElectron spin resonance spectroscopy studies on reduction process of nitroxyl radicals used in molecular imaging
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy studies on the reduction process of nitroxyl radicals were carried out for 1mM concentration of 14 N-labeled nitroxyl radicals in 1 mM concentration of ascorbic acid as a function of time. The half life time and decay rate were estimated for 1mM concentration of 14 N labeled nitroxyl radicals in 1 mM concentration of ascorbic acid. From the results, th...
متن کاملMechanism of copper(I)/TEMPO-catalyzed aerobic alcohol oxidation.
Homogeneous Cu/TEMPO catalyst systems (TEMPO = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl) have emerged as some of the most versatile and practical catalysts for aerobic alcohol oxidation. Recently, we disclosed a (bpy)Cu(I)/TEMPO/NMI catalyst system (NMI = N-methylimidazole) that exhibits fast rates and high selectivities, even with unactivated aliphatic alcohols. Here, we present a mechanistic inve...
