The chemoselective deprotection of N-benzylated primary amines, amino esters, diamines and amino alcohols in aqueous media using molecular oxygen as a mild oxidant has been demonstrated combining laccase from Trametes versicolor and TEMPO.

The process by which molecular oxygen is activated to enable it to function as an electron acceptor in biology is poorly understood. The quinoprotein copper-containing amine oxidase (CuAO) catalyses the conversion of primary amines into aldehydes. As well as copper, the enzyme contains an organic cofactor, 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine quinone (TPQ). Following the formation of aldehyde, the enzyme is left as the two-electron reduced aminoquinol form. Reoxidation of the enzyme back to the resting state uses molecular oxygen, which is reduced to H2O2 in the process, with the additional release of NH3. To understand the structural basis of oxygen activation in Escherichia coli CuAO (ECAO), catalytically competent crystals were used to trap catalytic intermediates by exposing then to amine substrate and then freeze-trapping under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Single-crystal visible microspectrophotometry was used to probe the oxidation state of the quinone in the intermediates, as TPQ exhibits a rich palette of colour changes during catalytic turnover. This review will focus on one of these structures, that of the rate-determining species in the crystal under steady-state conditions. This structure has revealed many details regarding oxygen activation in ECAO, including the site of dioxygen binding, and the proton-transfer pathways involved in H2O2 formation.

AbstractOne-pot, three-component condensation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde derivatives, primary amines with alkyl isocyanides is reported. N-alkyl-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-iminoacetamide derivatives are generated presumably via the preliminary formation of N, N′-disubstituted benzo[b]furan-2,3-diamines and subsequent oxidation with molecular oxygen.
