Abstract

An unprecedented photoacylation method for preparation of acyl- and aroyliron(III) porphyrin complexes has been reported1). This paper present the mechanistic studies on such photoacylation. Detailed mechanistic studies on the photoacylation of chloroiron(III) tetraphenylporphyrin ((TPP)FeCl) suggest "controlled" radical reactions. In the presence of UV light (TPP)FeCl undergoes intramolecular electron transfer to yield (TPP)Fe(II) and chlorine radical. Aldehyde prevents the back electron transfer by trapping the chlorine radical to form the corresponding acyl radical. The photoreduced (TPP)Fe(II) then undergoes oxidative addition with the acyl radical to yield the corresponding acyliron(III) tetraphenylporphyrin complex.

Abstract

An indirect approach in studying ethylene binding sites of copper enzymes was carried out since ethylene pleitropic effect in plants and the general affinity of Cu(I) complexes for ethylene suggest a possibility of ethylene binding to various copper enzymes. For this purpose, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and tyrosinase were evaluated using two different methods. H-NMR spectra of three different conditions of SOD (native SOD; reduced SOD; and reduced SOD in the presence of ethylene) were acquired at 25 °C. Activity of mushroom tyrosinase was monitored in the absence of ethylene by evaluating the formation of dopachrome at 475 nm. Three other assay systems were constructed the same way as the control, except one of the reagents (enzyme, DL-DOPA, or sodium phosphate buffer) was each saturated with ethylene prior to mixing all of reagents. Both systems behaved unsatisfactorily for the purpose of evaluation. The coordinated ethylene proton-NMR signal was obscured by the broad HOD signal, due to the partial oxidation of Cu(I) SOD by trace oxygen. Nonetheless, the tyrosinase assay results demonstrated that displacement of oxygen in the assay system by ethylene did not account for the loss of activity. The observed ethylene effect on tyrosinase activity, however, was minimal, since ethylene could produce threshold physiological response at concentration of 6.5 x 10-9 M.

Abstract

Several methyl alkanoate substituted isothiazolones and 5-chloroisothiazolones were synthesized using a simple amidation process of 3,3’-dipropionic acid and chlorination during 3,3’-dithiobispropanamide cyclization process, respectively. The results showed that 5-chloroisothiazolones were produced in a good yield (40-70%), whereas the isothiazolones are produced in moderate yield (±20%). Keywords: Isothiazolone, 5-chloroisothiazolone, Organic synthesis, 3,3’-dithiopropionic acid.
