Successive C1–C2 bond cleavage was found via an isotope-labelling technique in the process of formic acid production from oxidation of bio-derived glucose catalyzed by homogeneous vanadium(v) species in aqueous medium.

The ozonation of maleic acid in aqueous solution (pH 3) leads to the formation of glyoxylic acid and formic acid which are oxidized to the stable endproducts oxalic acid and CO2 in the further course of the reaction.With fumaric acid besides the double bond cleavage (75%) an anomalous ozonolysis is observed leading to the formation of the unstable intermediate mesoxalic acid semialdehyde which is oxidized to mesoxalic acid.In both cases 45% of the organic carbon appear as CO2 after the complete elimination of the initial compounds. The specific ozone consumption in our experiments was 4 mmol O3 per mmol of acid.On account of the quantitative follow up of the oxidation products the reaction mechanisms are discussed. The oxidation of glyoxylic acid, formic acid, oxalic acid and mesoxalic acid as pure substances by ozone gives qualitatively the same results as in the mixtures.

Oxidation of phenyl PtII complexes K[(dpms)PtIIPh2], 1, (dpms)PtIIPh(MeOH), 2, (dpms)PtIIPh(OH2), 3, and methyl PtII complex (dpms)PtIIMe(NH2Ph), 6, with O2 in aqueous or methanol solutions under ambient conditions leads to corresponding (dpms)PtIVR(X)OH complexes (R = X = Ph, 7; R = Ph, X = OH, 8; R = Ph, X = OMe, 9; R = Me, X = NHPh; 11; dpms = di(2-pyridyl)methanesulfonate). Complexes 7–9 could be isolated in high yield. Complex 11 as well as its phenyl analogue (dpms)PtIVPh(NHPh)OH, 10 can be prepared in high yield by oxidation of corresponding (dpms)PtIIR(NH2Ph) with H2O2 in methanol. Phenyl PtII complexes (dpms)PtIIPh(HX) derived from HX = aniline and DMSO, 4 and 5, respectively, are inert toward O2. The rate of oxidation of 1–5 with O2 decreases in the order 1 > 3 ~ 2 » 4, and 5 is unreactive. Methyl analogues are significantly more reactive compared with their phenyl counterparts. Proposed mechanism of oxidation with O2 includes formation of anionic species (dpms)PtIIR(X)– responsible for reaction with dioxygen. Attempts at C–O and C–N reductive elimination from phenyl PtIV complexes 7–10 do not lead to phenyl derivatives PhX at 80–100 °C, consistent with the results of the DFT estimates of corresponding activation barriers, ΔG0 exceeding 28 kcal/mol.Key words: platinum phenyl complexes, oxidation, dioxygen, aqueous solution, mechanism.

The enzyme 2,4′-dihydroxyacetophenone dioxygenase (or DAD) catalyses the conversion of 2,4′-dihydroxyacetophenone to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and formic acid with the incorporation of molecular oxygen. Whilst the vast majority of dioxygenases cleave within the aromatic ring of the substrate, DAD is very unusual in that it is involved in C—C bond cleavage in a substituent of the aromatic ring. There is evidence that the enzyme is a homotetramer of 20.3 kDa subunits each containing nonhaem iron and its sequence suggests that it belongs to the cupin family of dioxygenases. By the use of limited chymotrypsinolysis, the DAD enzyme fromAlcaligenessp. 4HAP has been crystallized in a form that diffracts synchrotron radiation to a resolution of 2.2 Å.
