Published: June 2018

The reductive coupling of two diazomethanes is affected by reaction with [(NacNac )Mg] affording the species [(NacNac )Mg(N CPh )] 2 and [(NacNac )Mg(N C(C H ) )] 3. These species containing N linkages readily evolve the central N at 50 and 75 °C to give the Mg-imide products [(NacNac )Mg(NCPh )] (4) and [(NacNac )Mg(NC(C H ) )] (5), respectively. The mechanism for the loss of N was considered computationally. Compounds 2 and 3 reacted with O to liberate the tetrazene (Ph N ) 6 and the hydrazine ((C H ) CN) 7, whereas reactions with Me SiOSO CF or Me SiCl with 2 and 3 provide the related silyl imines 8 and 9, respectively.

Department of Biochemistry, School of Medicine, College of Health Sciences, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa P. O. Box 9086, Ethiopia.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease characterized by insulin resistance and impaired beta-cell secretory function. Since existing treatments often present side effects based on different mechanisms, alternative therapeutic options are needed. In this scenario, the present study first evaluates the cytotoxicity of decoctions from the leaves, stems, and roots of L.

Monoanionic, bidentate-auxiliary-directed, cobalt-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization has become a very useful tool in organic synthesis. A comprehensive investigation into isolated organometallic intermediates and their reactivity within the catalytic cycle is lacking. We report here mechanistic studies of cobalt-catalyzed, aminoquinoline-directed C(sp)-H bond functionalization.

In biological systems, heme-copper oxidase (HCO) enzymes play a crucial role in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), where the pivotal O-O bond cleavage of the (heme)Fe-peroxo-Cu intermediate is facilitated by active-site (peroxo core) hydrogen bonding followed by proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from a nearby (phenolic) tyrosine residue. A useful approach to comprehend the fundamental relationships among H-bonding/proton/H-atom donors and their abilities to induce O-O bond homolysis involves the investigation of synthetic, bioinspired model systems where the exogenous substrate properties (such as p and bond dissociation energy (BDE)) can be systematically altered. This report details the reactivity of a heme-peroxo-copper HCO model complex (LS-4DCHIm) toward a series of substituted catechol substrates that span a range of p and O-H bond BDE values, exhibiting different reaction mechanisms.
