The C(sp3)–H bond oxygenation of a variety cyclopropane containing hydrocarbons with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by manganese complexes aminopyridine tetradentate ligands was carried out. Oxidations were performed in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) using different catalysts carboxylic acid co-ligands, where steric electronic properties systematically modified. Functionalization selectively occurs at the most activated C–H bonds that are α- to cyclopropane, providing access carboxylate or 2,2,2-trifluoroethanolate transfer products, no competition, favorable cases, from generally dominant hydroxylation reaction. formation mixtures unrearranged rearranged esters (oxidation HFIP presence acid) ethers TFE) full control over diastereoselectivity observed, confirming involvement delocalized cationic intermediates these transformations. Despite such complex mechanistic scenario, fine-tuning catalyst sterics electronics leveraging on relative contribution pathways reaction mechanism, product chemoselectivity could be achieved. Taken together, results reported herein provide powerful catalytic tools rationally manipulate ligand oxidations hydrocarbons, delivering novel products good yields and, some outstanding selectivities, expanding available toolbox for development synthetically useful functionalization procedures.

Electrochemistry offers an effective means of mimicking enzymatic metabolic pathways, particularly the oxidative pathways catalyzed by cytochrome P450 superfamily. The electrochemical generation and identification metabolites are time-sensitive, necessitating adjustable cell designs for accurate mechanistic interpretation. We present a thin-layer electrode (TLE) that addresses needs both analytical synthetic drug metabolites. TLE's ability to conduct experiments on minute-to-hour time scale allows detailed observation reaction mechanisms not easily identified traditional methods. utility TLE was benchmarked oxidation acetaminophen, acebutolol, 2-acetyl-4-butyramidophenol, known produce quinone imine metabolites, i.e., NAPQI, upon oxidation.
