Synopsis How is nitric oxide (NO) released in photoactive transition-metal nitrosyl complexes? Electronic structure calculations and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics are employed to investigate the NO photodissociation mechanism of [Ru(PaPy3)(NO)]2+. Excited states are calculated with time-dependent density functional theory and multiconfigurational CASSCF/CASPT2 spin-corrected methods. Molecular dynamics sh...

Keywords: bioinorganic chemistry; dioxygen activation; nucleophilic reactivity; reaction mechanisms; superoxide complexes Abstract Metal-bound superoxide intermediates are often implicated as electrophilic oxidants in dioxygen-activating metalloenzymes. In the nonheme iron α-ketoglutarate dependent oxygenases and pterin-dependent hydroxylases, however, Fe III –superoxide intermediates are postulated to react by nucleophilic attack on electrophilic carbon atoms. By reacting a Cu II –superoxide complex ( 1 ) with acyl chloride substrates, we have found that a metal–superoxide complex can be a very reactive nucleophile. Furthermore,  1  was found to be an efficient nucleophilic deformylating reagent, capable of Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of a number of aldehyde substrates. The observed nucleophilic chemistry represents a new domain for metal–superoxide reactivity. Our observations provide support for the postulated role of metal–superoxide intermediates in nonh...

Keywords: ortho -Chinone; Kupfer; Oxidationen; Synthesemethoden; Tyrosinase Abstract The importance of aromatic C O, C N, and C S bonds necessitates increasingly efficient strategies for their formation. Herein, we report a biomimetic approach that converts phenolic C H bonds into C O, C N, and C S bonds at the sole expense of reducing dioxygen (O 2 ) to water (H 2 O). Our method hinges on a regio- and chemoselective copper-catalyzed aerobic oxygenation to provide  ortho -quinones.  ortho -Quinones are versatile intermediates, whose direct catalytic aerobic synthesis from phenols enables a mild and efficient means of synthesizing polyfunctional aromatic rings.
