- Method for photocatalytic synthesis of polybrominated phenol compound in water phase
-
The invention discloses a method for photocatalytic synthesis of a polybrominated phenol compound in a water phase, comprising the following steps: adding a catalytic amount of a radical initiator, aphenol derivative and low-toxic and cheap bromide salt and water into a reaction vessel, reacting at room temperature at 5 W power in a photocatalytic reactor for a certain period, extracting with ethyl acetate and then re-crystallizing to obtain a polybrominated phenol compound. The above radical initiator is eosin, azobisisobutanol, sodium persulfate, ammonium persulfate or potassium persulfate.The free radical initiator and the bromine salt are cheap and easily available, and the method is an ideal synthesis method of the polybrominated phenol compound. According to the method, low-toxicity bromine salt instead of liquid bromine is used to carry out a bromination reaction, unstable and explosive hydrogen peroxide is replaced with the cheap and easily-available free radical initiator, and an emerging photocatalytic method is used. The polybrominated phenol compound can be obtained in a high yield by only using a 5W power lamp for the reaction, the reaction selectivity is high, by-products are less, and the post-treatment is simple.

- Graphene Oxide Promoted Oxidative Bromination of Anilines and Phenols in Water
-
The mildly acidic and oxidative nature of graphene oxide, with its large surface area available for catalytic activity, has been explored in aromatic nuclear bromination chemistry for the first time. The versatile catalytic activity of graphene oxide (GO) has been used to selectively and rapidly brominate anilines and phenols in water. The best results were obtained at ambient temperatures using molecular bromine in a protocol promoted by oxidative bromination catalyzed by GO; these transformations proceeded with 100% atom economy with respect to bromine and high selectivities for the tribromoanilines and -phenols. Reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) was observed to form after the second recycle (third use) of GO. This technique is also effective with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) as the brominating reagent. In the case of NBS, reactions were instantaneous and the GO displayed excellent recyclability without any loss of activity over several cycles.

- Ammonium Salt-Catalyzed Highly Practical Ortho-Selective Monohalogenation and Phenylselenation of Phenols: Scope and Applications
-
An ortho-selective ammonium chloride salt-catalyzed direct C-H monohalogenation of phenols and 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) with 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) as the chlorinating agent has been developed. The catalyst loading was low (down to 0.01 mol %) and the reaction conditions were very mild. A wide range of substrates including BINOLs were compatible with this catalytic protocol. Chlorinated BINOLs are useful synthons for the synthesis of a wide range of unsymmetrical 3-aryl BINOLs that are not easily accessible. In addition, the same catalytic system can facilitate the ortho-selective selenylation of phenols.

- Regioselective monobromination of aromatics via a halogen bond acceptor-donor interaction of catalytic thioamide and N-bromosuccinimide
-
Regioselective monobromination of various aromatics was achieved at room temperature using N-bromosuccinimide and 5 mol% of thioamides in acetonitrile. With thiourea as catalyst, activated aromatics, such as anisole, acetanilide, benzamide and phenol analogues containing electron donating or withdrawing groups, were brominated with high regioselectivity. Room temperature brominations of weakly activated aromatics and deactivated 9-fluorenone were accomplished by 5 mol% thioacetamide, higher substrates concentrations and longer reaction times. A backbonding of the bromine lone pairs with the π*of C[dbnd]S group and a halogen bond between the halogen bond donor bromine and the halogen bond acceptor sulfur of the thioamide are thought to be the principal interactions and cause of N-bromosuccinimide activation.

- A quick, mild and efficient bromination using a CFBSA/KBr system
-
Bromination is a fundamental transformation in organic chemistry and brominated compounds as building blocks are of paramount importance in organic synthesis. In our study, we have developed an efficient method of bromination by using a CFBSA/KBr system at room temperature in a short reaction time. Notably, this approach has been proven to be applicable to a range of substrates including 1,3-diketones and β-keto esters, phenols, aromatic amines and heteroarenes with good to excellent yields.

- Vanadate-dependent bromoperoxidases from Ascophyllum nodosum in the synthesis of brominated phenols and pyrroles
-
Bromoperoxidases from the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum, abbreviated as VBrPO(AnI) and VBrPO(AnII), show 41% sequence homology and differ by a factor of two in the percentage of α-helical secondary structures. Protein monomers organize into homodimers for VBrPO(AnI) and hexamers for VBrPO(AnII). Bromoperoxidase II binds hydrogen peroxide and bromide by approximately one order of magnitude stronger than VBrPO(AnI). In oxidation catalysis, bromoperoxidases I and II turn over hydrogen peroxide and bromide similarly fast, yielding in morpholine-4-ethanesulfonic acid (MES)-buffered aqueous tert-butanol (pH 6.2) molecular bromine as reagent for electrophilic hydrocarbon bromination. Alternative compounds, such as tribromide and hypobromous acid are not sufficiently electrophilic for being directly involved in carbon-bromine bond formation. A decrease in electrophilicity from bromine via hypobromous acid to tribromide correlates in a frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis with larger energy gaps between the π-type HOMO of, for example, an alkene and the σ*Br,X-type LUMO of the bromination reagent. By using this approach, the reactivity of substrates and selectivity for carbon-bromine bond formation in reactions mediated by vanadate-dependent bromoperoxidases become predictable, as exemplified by the synthesis of bromopyrroles occurring naturally in marine sponges of the genera Agelas, Acanthella, and Axinella.

- Bromination of phenols in bromoperoxidase-catalyzed oxidations
-
Phenol and ortho-substituted derivatives furnish products of selective para-bromination, if treated with sodium bromide, hydrogen peroxide, and the vanadate(V)-dependent bromoperoxidase I from the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum. Relative rates of bromination in morpholine-4-ethane sulfonic acid (MES)-buffered aqueous tert-butanol (pH 6.2) increase by a factor 32, as the ortho-substituent in a phenol changes from F via Cl, OCH3, C(CH 3)3, and H to CH3. The polar effect in phenol bromination by the enzymatic method, according to a Hammett-correlation (ρ=-3), compares to reactivity of molecular bromine under identical conditions (ρ=-2). Hypobromous acid is not able to electrophilically substitute bromine for hydrogen at pH 6.2 in aqueous tert-butanol. The tribromide anion behaves in MES-buffered aqueous tert-butanol as electrophile (ρ~-3), showing a similar polar effect in phenol bromination as molecular bromine.

- Molecular cloning, structure, and reactivity of the second bromoperoxidase from Ascophyllum nodosum
-
The sequence of bromoperoxidase II from the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum was determined from a full length cloned cDNA, obtained from a tandem mass spectrometry RT-PCR-approach. The clone encodes a protein composed of 641 amino-acids, which provides a mature 67.4 kDa-bromoperoxidase II-protein (620 amino-acids). Based on 43% sequence homology with the previously characterized bromoperoxidase I from A. nodosum, a tertiary structure was modeled for the bromoperoxidase II. The structural model was refined on the basis of results from gel filtration and vanadate-binding studies, showing that the bromoperoxidase II is a hexameric metalloprotein, which binds 0.5 equivalents of vanadate as cofactor per 67.4 kDa-subunit, for catalyzing oxidation of bromide by hydrogen peroxide in a bi-bi-ping-pong mechanism (kcat = 153 s-1, 22 °C, pH 5.9). Bromide thereby is converted into a bromoelectrophile of reactivity similar to molecular bromine, based on competition kinetic data on phenol bromination and correlation analysis. Reactivity provided by the bromoperoxidase II mimics biosynthesis of methyl 4-bromopyrrole-2-carboxylate, a natural product isolated from the marine sponge Axinella tenuidigitata.

- Regioselective monobromination of substituted phenols in the presence of β-cyclodextrin
-
Cyclodextrin acts as a restricting nanovessel to enhance regioselectivity in bromination of substituted phenols such as 3-nitrophenol, 2-chlorophenol, 3-chlorophenol, and 4-chlorophenol. In contrast to solution bromination, cyclodextrin facilitates regioselective monobromination and formation of polybrominated products are substantially reduced. Selectivities in brominations are also observed in water and in the solid state. The observed results are rationalized on the basis of specific modes of inclusion of substituted phenols inside the cyclodextrin cavity and find strong support from energy minimization studies and 1H-1H NOESY.

- Identification of hydroxylated PCB metabolites and other phenolic halogenated pollutants in human blood plasma
-
A growing number of studies have reported phenolic halogenated compounds (PHCs) that are retained in the blood of humans and wildlife. These PHCs may be industrial chemicals; metabolites thereof, as in the case with polychlorobiphenylols (OH-PCBs); or of natural origin. The present study was aimed to identify hitherto unknown PHCs in human plasma with chemical structures that are consistent to PHCs known to possess endocrine-disrupting activity. For this purpose, samples of blood plasma from 10 randomly selected male blood donors from Sweden were pooled and analyzed by GC/ECD and GC/MS. Brominated, bromochlorinated, and chlorinated methyl derivatives of phenols and OH-PCBs were synthesized to be used as authentic reference standards. More than 100 PHCs were indicated in the plasma, and among those a total of 9 monocyclic brominated or chlorinated phenol-, guaiacol-, and/or catechol-type compounds were identified as their methylated derivatives. The two major compounds were 2,4,6-tribromophenol and pentachlorophenol. Thirty-eight OH-PCB congeners were structurally identified on two GC columns of different polarity. The origin of the OH-PCB metabolites in the context of their parent PCB congeners are suggested. Other PHCs identified in the male plasma were Triclosan (5-chloro-2-[2,4-dichlorophenoxy] phenol), a common bactericide; 4-hydroxy-heptachlorostyrene, a metabolite of octachlorostyrene; and 3,5-dibromo-2-(2,4-dibromophenoxy)phenol, a natural compound and a potential metabolite of polybrominated diphenyl ethers.
