J Inorg Biochem 2024; 259:112643. [PMID: 38924872 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2024.112643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Halogenation of aliphatic C-H bonds is a chemical transformation performed in nature by mononuclear nonheme iron dependent halogenases. The mechanism involves the formation of an iron(IV)-oxo-chloride species that abstracts the hydrogen atom from the reactive C-H bond to form a carbon-centered radical that selectively reacts with the bound chloride ligand, a process commonly referred to as halide rebound. The factors that determine the halide rebound, as opposed to the reaction with the incipient hydroxide ligand, are not clearly understood and examples of well-defined iron(IV)-oxo-halide compounds competent in C-H halogenation are scarce. In this work we have studied the reactivity of three well-defined iron(IV)-oxo complexes containing variants of the tetradentate 1-(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane ligand (Pytacn). Interestingly, these compounds exhibit a change in their chemoselectivity towards the functionalization of C-H bonds under certain conditions: their reaction towards C-H bonds in the presence of a halide anionleads to exclusive oxygenation, while the addition of a superacid results in halogenation. Almost quantitative halogenation of ethylbenzene is observed when using the two systems with more sterically congested ligands and even the chlorination of strong C-H bonds such as those of cyclohexane is performed when a methyl group is present in the sixth position of the pyridine ring of the ligand. Mechanistic studies suggest that both reactions, oxygenation and halogenation, proceed through a common rate determining hydrogen atom transfer step and the presence of the acid dictates the fate of the resulting alkyl radical towards preferential halogenation over oxygenation.

Abstract
Oxidation of the iron(II) precursor [(L1)FeIICl2], where L1 is a tetradentate bispidine, with soluble iodosylbenzene (sPhIO) leads to the extremely reactive ferryl oxidant [(L1)(Cl)FeIV=O]+ with a cis disposition of the chlorido and oxido coligands, as observed in non‐heme halogenase enzymes. Experimental data indicate that, with cyclohexane as substrate, there is selective formation of chlorocyclohexane, the halogenation being initiated by C−H abstraction and the result of a rebound of the ensuing radical to an iron‐bound Cl−. The time‐resolved formation of the halogenation product indicates that this primarily results from sPhIO oxidation of an initially formed oxido‐bridged diiron(III) resting state. The high yield of up to >70 % (stoichiometric reaction) as well as the differing reactivities of free Fe2+ and Fe3+ in comparison with [(L1)FeIICl2] indicate a high complex stability of the bispidine‐iron complexes. DFT analysis shows that, due to a large driving force and small triplet‐quintet gap, [(L1)(Cl)FeIV=O]+ is the most reactive small‐molecule halogenase model, that the FeIII/radical rebound intermediate has a relatively long lifetime (as supported by experimentally observed cage escape), and that this intermediate has, as observed experimentally, a lower energy barrier to the halogenation than the hydroxylation product; this is shown to primarily be due to steric effects.

Abstract
High-valent iron halide corroles were examined to determine their reactivity with carbon radicals and their ability to undergo radical rebound-like processes. Beginning with Fe(Cl)(ttppc) (1) (ttppc = 5,10,15-tris(2,4,6-triphenylphenyl)corrolato3-), the new iron corroles Fe(OTf)(ttppc) (2), Fe(OTf)(ttppc)(AgOTf) (3), and Fe(F)(ttppc) (4) were synthesized. Complexes 3 and 4 are the first iron triflate and iron fluoride corroles to be structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of 3 reveals an AgI-pyrrole (η2-π) interaction. The Fe(Cl)(ttppc) and Fe(F)(ttppc) complexes undergo halogen transfer to triarylmethyl radicals, and kinetic analysis of the reaction between (p-OMe-C6H4)3C• and 1 gave k = 1.34(3) × 103 M-1 s-1 at 23 °C and 2.2(2) M-1 s-1 at -60 °C, ΔH⧧ = +9.8(3) kcal mol-1, and ΔS⧧ = -14(1) cal mol-1 K-1 through an Eyring analysis. Complex 4 is significantly more reactive, giving k = 1.16(6) × 105 M-1 s-1 at 23 °C. The data point to a concerted mechanism and show the trend X = F- > Cl- > OH- for Fe(X)(ttppc). This study provides mechanistic insights into halogen rebound for an iron porphyrinoid complex.

Abstract
Spin states of iron often direct the selectivity in oxidation catalysis by iron complexes using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on an oxidant. While low-spin iron(III) hydroperoxides display stereoselective C-H bond hydroxylation, the reactions are nonstereoselective with high-spin iron(II) catalysts. The catalytic studies with a series of high-spin iron(II) complexes of N4 ligands with H2O2 and Sc3+ reported here reveal that the Lewis acid promotes catalytic C-H bond hydroxylation with high chemo- and stereoselectivity. This reactivity pattern is observed with iron(II) complexes containing two cis-labile sites. The enhanced selectivity for C-H bond hydroxylation catalyzed by the high-spin iron(II) complexes in the presence of Sc3+ parallels that of the low-spin iron catalysts. Furthermore, the introduction of multimetal centers enhances the activity and selectivity of the iron catalyst. The study provides insights into the development of peroxide-dependent bioinspired catalysts for the selective oxygenation of C-H bonds without the restriction of using iron complexes of strong-field ligands.

Abstract
Late-stage direct functionalization of the C-H bond is synthetically desirable. Metalloenzymes having metal-oxo active sites are well known to selectively catalyze hydroxylation and halogenation reactions with high efficiency. This review highlights the recent developments in the field of direct C-H halogenation and pseudohalogenation reactions catalyzed by the functional models of metalloenzymes.

Abstract
Bioinspired models for contrasting the electronic nature of neutral tris-histidine with the anionic 2-histidine-1-carboxylate facial motif and their subsequent impact on catalysis are reported. Herewith, iron(ii) complexes [Fe(L)(CH3CN)3](SO3CF3)21-3 of tris(2-pyridyl)-based ligands (L) have been synthesized and characterized as accurate structural models for the neutral 3-histidine triad of the enzyme diketone dioxygenase (DKDO). The molecular structure of one of the complexes exhibits octahedral coordination geometry and Fe-N11py bond lengths [1.952(4) to 1.959(4) Å] close to the Fe-NHis bond distances (1.98 Å) of the 3-His triad in the resting state of the enzyme, as obtained by EXAFS studies. The diketonate substrate-adduct complexes [Fe(L)(acacR)](SO3CF3) (R = Me, Ph) of 1-3 have been obtained using Na(acacR) in acetonitrile. The Fe2+/3+ redox potentials of the complexes (1.05 to 1.2 V vs. Fc/Fc+) and their substrate adducts (1.02 to 1.19 V vs. Fc/Fc+) appeared at almost the same redox barrier. All diketonate adducts exhibit two Fe(ii) → acac MLCT bands around 338 to 348 and 430 to 490 nm. Exposure of these adducts to O2 results in the decay of both MLCT bands with a rate of (kO2) 5.37 to 9.41 × 10-3 M-1 s-1. The kO2 values were concomitantly accelerated 20 to 50 fold by the addition of H+ (acetic acid), which nicely models the rate enhancement in the enzyme kinetics by the glutamate residue (Glu98). The oxygenation of the phenyl-substituted adducts yielded benzoin and benzoic acid (40% to 71%) as cleavage products in the presence of H+ ions. Isotope-labeling experiments using 18O2 showed 47% incorporation of 18O in benzoic acid, which reveals that the oxygen originates from dioxygen. Thus, the present model complexes exhibit very similar chemical surroundings to the active site of DKDO and mimic its functions elegantly. On the basis of these results, the C-C bond cleavage reaction mechanism is discussed.
