The density functional theory (DFT) is used to investigate the mechanism of ligand-free CuI -catalyzed N -arylation of imidazole with aryl halide. The oxidative addition/reductive elimination mechanism is adopted via two different pathways to form the same Cu(III) intermediate. Comparing two pathways, the path 1 in which the imidazolyl coordination occurs prior to the oxidative addition is more favorable, because the free energy barrier of the rate-limiting step of path 1 is lower than the barrier of the other. In addition, it leads to a relative stable intermediate which can promote the reaction to process via path 1. And the overall free energy barrier of oxidative addition to imidazole-ligated Cu(I) complex is not high enough when comparing with the diamine-promote process, which can further prove that the N -arylation of imidazole is feasible in the absence of additional ligands. Nucleophile coordination and reductive elimination steps are facile, while the oxidative addition is the rate-limiting step.

The effects of different substituents located at the para position of the aromatic ring and β carbon atom of the styrene on the reaction were investigated. The results showed that the reaction steps with higher energy barriers changed a little with the substituents of the reactants, which indicates that the reaction has a good adaptability to reactants containing different substituents. It was found the proton transfer in the final tautomerism step of nitroso intermediate to oxime is the rate limiting step under anhydrous conditions. Although the solvent effect did not influence the the rate limiting step significantly, the water mediated proton transfer significantly decreased the energy barrier of final tautomerism step. Compared with the direct proton transfer in vacuum, the energy barrier of the final tautomerism step decreased from 57.80kcal/mol in vacuum to 12.98kcal/mol with the water mediated proton transfer in water, which declined by 77.5%. When water participates in rate-limiting steps in organic solvents, the energy barrier also decreases significantly, which indicates that a small amount of water in the organic solvent is conducive to the reaction. This study is of great significance for the application of bifunctionalized reaction in the synthesis of organic fluoride compounds with different substituents.

SummaryOrnithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of polyamines, can be demonstrated in cultured, bovine, aortic endothelial cells (EC). Serum, serotonin and thrombin produce a rise in ODC activity. The serotonin-induced ODC activity is significantly blocked by imipramine (10-5 M) or Lilly 11 0140 (10-6M). Preincubation of EC with these blockers together almost completely depresses the 5-HT-stimulated ODC activity. These observations suggest a manner by which platelets may maintain EC structural and metabolic soundness.
