Parabolic Relationship between the Basicity of the Nucleophile and pi-Face Selection in Addition of the Substituted Acetylide Ions to Cyclohexanone and Cyclohexanethione.

Energy changes, structural variation, and electron density shifts during nucleophilic addition to cyclohexanone and cyclohexanethione were examined by means of the ab initio calculations at the HF/6-31G level. The atomic charge on the carbonyl C was found to become more positive upon approach of the nucleophile; the density deformation maps suggest that the charge polarization occurs to a large extent in the pi bond. Since this effect is not compensated for by charge transfer until in the late stage of addition, the reaction site is considerably electron deficient (more so than the carbonyl C in the substrate) for most of the reaction path, and its interactions with the ligands are dominated by hyperconjugation with the vicinal C-H and C-C bonds. Relative stabilities of the axial and equatorial transition-state structures were examined in the series HN=C, ON&tbd1;C(-), N&tbd1;C(-), FC&tbd1;C(-), HC&tbd1;C(-), SBeC&tbd1;C(2-), O(3)SC&tbd1;C(2-), H(3)AlC&tbd1;C(2-), SC&tbd1;C(2-), H(3)BC&tbd1;C(2-), and C&tbd1;C(2-) and found to depend on polarization of the electrophiles, C=O vs C=S, and basicity of the nucleophiles. The latter dependence is parabolic: the axial preference reaches a maximum for the moderately basic anions, and it is diminished or even reversed for the most and least basic nucleophiles, i.e., in the case of reactions proceeding through the very early or very late transition states. Thus, the stereoelectronic effect is largest in the region of the reaction coordinate where the electron deficiency at the reaction site reaches a maximum. These findings corroborate the premises of the hypothesis of hyperconjugative assistance to bond formation and are consistent with major trends in the experimental data if the stereochemistry of alkylation of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone is correlated with Pauling electronegativity of metals in the case of methylmetals, methylmetal ate complexes, allylmetals and arylmetals, and with the pK(a) of conjugated acids in the case of sulfur-, carbonyl-, and nitrile-stabilized carbanions.

Epoxidation of p-methoxycinnamates using chiral dioxiranes derived from new trisubstituted halogenated cyclohexanones: enhanced efficiency of ketones having an axial halogen

Epoxidation of p-methoxycinnamates using substoichiometric amounts of chiral and enantiopure dioxiranes generated in situ from chiral trisubstituted chloro and fluoro cyclohexanones showed that ketones with an axial Cl or F were more efficient than ketones with an equatorial Cl or F, that increasing the steric hindrance in the alpha-position (isopropyl instead of methyl) decreased the efficiency, and that the alpha-fluoro ketone 5a (axial fluorine) was the most efficient (82% conversion and 46% ee in (-)-epoxide).

Highly stereoselective addition of organometallic reagents to N-tert-butanesulfinyl imines derived from 3- and 4-substituted cyclohexanones.

Addition of alkyl or aryl Grignard reagents to N-sulfinyl imines derived from 3- and 4-substituted cyclohexanones proceeds with good yields and with excellent diasteroselectivity. The selectivity of the reaction is controlled by the ring substituent rather than the sulfinyl group stereochemistry, and therefore racemic tert-butanesulfinamide can be employed.

Microbial Baeyer-Villiger oxidation: stereopreference and substrate acceptance of cyclohexanone monooxygenase mutants prepared by directed evolution.

[reaction: see text] An array of random mutants of cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) from Acinetobacter sp. NCIMB 9871 was screened against a library of structurally diverse ketones for modifications in the substrate acceptance profile and stereopreference of the enzymatic Baeyer-Villiger biooxidation. While the set of mutant biocatalysts was initially evolved for the enantiocomplementary oxidation of 4-hydroxycyclohexanone, improved and/or divergent stereoselectivities were observed for several substrates. In addition, expanded substrate acceptance to facilitate biotransformation of sterically demanding ketones was found.

4-(Tetrahydro-4H-thiopyran-1-oxide-4-ylidene)-cyclohexanone oxime in the solid-state. A two-dimensional network of enantiomorphous chains interconnected by weak hydrogen bonds.

From a saturated C6H6 solution of racemic 4-(tetrahydro-4H-thiopyran-1-oxide-4-ylidene)-cyclohexanone oxime [1(1-R/1-S)] the co-crystal is crystallized. Single crystal X-ray analysis showed that (1)4.C6H6 (P1 space group) in the solid-state consists of enantiomorphous, non-covalent polymer-like chains that contain, in an alternating fashion, the crystallographically independent enantiomers 1-R and 1-R' or 1-S and 1-S'', respectively. Within each chain the enantiomers are linked by 'head-to-tail' intermolecular oxime-sulfoxide hydrogen bonding [D(2) motif]. Neighbouring chains consist of enantiomers with opposite configuration and possess opposite molecular 'head-to-tail' alignments. The enantiomorphous chains are interconnected by weak intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds involving centrosymmetric C-Hoxime [R(12)] and C-Hsulfoxide [R(8)] motifs between the 1-R and 1-S molecules in neighbouring chains; a nearly planar two-dimensional hydrogen bonding network motif is obtained. In the crystallographic direction [1 0 0] the layers stack in such a fashion that chains occupying successive layers with an identical 'head-to-tail' alignment are positioned on top of each other. Concomitantly, channels with areas of ca. 25 Angstroms(2) are obtained, which are occupied by C6H6 solvent molecules. A comparison of the IR and Raman spectra of with those obtained for native 1 that does not contain C6H6, indicates that intermolecular oxime-sulfoxide hydrogen bonding [D(2) motif] also occurs for native 1 in the solid-state.

Twinning by merohedry in cyclohexanone oxime: a revised structure.

The crystal structure of cyclohexanone oxime, C(6)H(11)NO, was reported as severely disordered in the trigonal non-centrosymmetric space group P3 [Olivato, Ribeiro, Zukerman-Schpector & Bombieri (2001). Acta Cryst. B57, 705-713]. Re-investigation of the crystal structure as twinned by merohedry in the trigonal centrosymmetric space group P-3, with a twofold rotation about [001] as twin law, resulted in a well ordered structure and low R values. The asymmetric unit contains three independent molecules, existing as a hydrogen-bonded trimer, having an R(3)(3)(9) graph set.

The low-temperature phase III structure and phase transition behaviour of cyclohexanone.

The crystal structure of phase III of perdeuterocyclohexanone, C(6)D(10)O, has been determined at 5 K using high-resolution neutron powder diffraction. Below its melting point of 245 K cyclohexanone forms a plastic crystal in the space group Fm3m. On cooling below 225 K the crystal transforms to the monoclinic phase III structure in the space group P2(1)/n. The orthorhombic phase II structure exists under high pressure, but the triple point for all three phases is close to atmospheric pressure. Details of the phase II structure are also reported at 4.8 kbar (273 K) and ambient pressure. The phase behaviour of the compound and isotope effects are discussed.

The purification and properties of cyclohexanone oxygenase from Nocardia globerula CL1 and Acinetobacter NCIB 9871.

1. Cyclohexanone oxygenases from Norcardia globerula CL1 and Acinetobacter NCIB 9871 have been purified 12-fold and 35-fold respectively and each gives a single symmetrical sedimentation peak in the ultracentrifuge and a single protein band on 2.25 nm average pore radius polyacrylamide gels. 2. The enzyme from N. globerula has a molecular weight of 53000 while that from Acinetobacter has a molecular weight of about 59000. Each is a single polypeptide chain with one mole of bound FAD per mole of protein that does not dissociate during purification. Acidification of the Acinetobacter enzyme in the presence of (NH4)2SO4 releases the bound FAD and yields native apoenzyme from which the active holoenzyme can be reconstituted. The apparent dissociation constant for the FAD is 40 nM.

Acinetobacter cyclohexanone monooxygenase: gene cloning and sequence determination.

The gene coding for cyclohexanone monooxygenase from Acinetobacter sp. strain NCIB 9871 was isolated by immunological screening methods. We located and determined the nucleotide sequence of the gene. The structural gene is 1,626 nucleotides long and codes for a polypeptide of 542 amino acids; 389 nucleotides 5' and 108 nucleotides 3' of the coding region are also reported. The complete amino acid sequence of the enzyme was derived by translation of the nucleotide sequence. From a comparison of the amino acid sequence with consensus sequences of nucleotide-binding folds, we identified a potential flavin-binding site at the NH2 terminus of the enzyme (residues 6 to 18) and a potential nicotinamide-binding site extending from residue 176 to residue 208 of the protein. An overproduction system for the gene to facilitate genetic manipulations was also constructed by using the tac promoter vector pKK223-3 in Escherichia coli.

Effect of ethanol on the urinary excretion of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanediols, biomarkers of the exposure to cyclohexanone, cyclohexane and cyclohexanol in humans.

OBJECTIVES: This study explored the acute effect of ethanol (EtOH) on the urinary excretion of cyclohexanol (CH-ol), 1,2- and 1,4-cyclohexanediol (CH-diol), biomarkers of exposure to important solvents, and chemical intermediates cyclohexanone (CH-one), cyclohexane (CH) and cyclohexanol. METHODS: Volunteers (5-8 in each group) were exposed for 8 hours either to CH-one, CH or CH-ol vapor at concentrations of about 200, 1000, and 200 mg/m3, respectively, with concomitant ingestion of EtOH (4 14-g doses taken during the exposure). Urine was collected for 72 hours and analyzed for CH-ol and CH-diols using a procedure involving acidic hydrolysis and gas chromatographic determination. RESULTS: The metabolic yields of CH-ol, 1,2-, and 1,4-CH-diol, respectively, in the exposures with EtOH were as follows: 11.3%, 36%, 23% after the exposure to CH-one, 3.1%, 15%, 8% after the exposure to CH, and 6.6%, 24%, 18% after the exposure to CH-ol. [The corresponding values obtained previously in matching experiments without EtOH were as follows: 1.0%, 39%, 18% (CH-one); 0.5%, 23%, 11% (CH); and 1.1%, 19%, 8% (CH-ol).] The excretion curves of the metabolites in the exposures with EtOH were not delayed when compared with the corresponding curves of a comparison group. CONCLUSIONS: The urinary excretion of CH-diols is much less sensitive to EtOH than that of CH-ol. It is recommended to employ CH-diols as useful and more reliable biomarkers of exposure to CH-one, CH and CH-ol in field examinations.
