Abstract
Quinone methides (QM) are crucial reactive species in molecular biology and organic chemistry, with little known regarding the mechanism(s) for the generation of short-lived reactive QM intermediates from relevant precursors in aqueous solutions. In this study, several time-resolved spectroscopy methods were used to directly examine the photophysics and photochemical pathways of 1,1'-(2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl-6,6'-diyl)bis(N,N,N-trimethylmethanaminium) bromide (BQMP-b) from initial photoexcitation to the generation of the key reactive binol QM intermediate (BQM) in aqueous solution. The fluorescence of BQMP-b is effectively quenched with a small amount of water, which suggests an excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) occurs. The kinetics isotope effects observed in femtosecond and nanosecond time-resolved transient absorption experiments provide evidence for the participation of water molecules in the BQMP-b singlet excited state ESIPT process and in the subsequent -HNMe3+ group release and ground state intramolecular proton transfer that give rise to production of the reactive BQM intermediate. Nanosecond time-resolved resonance Raman (ns-TR3) measurements were also employed to investigate the structure and properties of several intermediates, including the key reactive BQM in aqueous solution. The ns-TR3 and density functional theory (DFT) computational results were compared, and this indicates the binol moiety and water molecules both have important roles in the characteristics and structure of the key reactive BQM intermediate produced from BQMP-b. The results presented here also provide new benchmark characterization of bifunctional quinone methide intermediates that can be utilized to guide direct time-resolved spectroscopic study of the alkylation and interstrand cross-linking reactions of quinone methides with DNA in the future.

Abstract
A new mild method has been devised for generating o-(naphtho)quinone methides via fluoride-induced desilylation of silyl derivatives of o-hydroxybenzyl(or 1-naphthylmethyl) nitrate. The reactive o-(naphtho)quinone methide intermediates were trapped by C, O, N, and S nucleophiles and underwent "inverse electron-demand" hetero-Diels-Alder reaction with dienophiles to give stable adducts. The method has useful potential application in natural product synthesis and drug research.

Abstract
o-Thioquinone methide, 2, was generated in aqueous solution by flash photolysis of benzothiete, 1, and rates of hydration of this quinone methide to o-mercaptobenzyl alcohol, 3, were measured in perchloric acid solutions, using H2O and D2O as the solvent, and also in acetic acid and tris(hydroxymethyl)methylammonium ion buffers, using H2O as the solvent. The rate profiles constructed from these data show hydronium-ion-catalyzed and uncatalyzed hydration reaction regions, just like the rate profiles based on literature data for hydration of the oxygen analogue, o-quinone methide, of the presently examined substrate. Solvent isotope effects on hydronium-ion catalysis of hydration for the two substrates, however, are quite different: k(H)/k(D) = 0.42 for the oxygen quinone methide, whereas k(H)/k(D) = 1.66 for the sulfur substrate. The inverse nature (k(H)/k(D) < 1) of the isotope effect in the oxygen system indicates that this reaction occurs by a preequilibrium proton-transfer reaction mechanism, with protonation of the substrate on its oxygen atom being fast and reversible and capture of the benzyl-type carbocationic intermediate so formed being rate-determining. The normal direction (k(H)/k(D) > 1) of the isotope effect in the sulfur system, on the other hand, suggests that protonation of the substrate on its sulfur atom is in this case rate-determining, with carbocation capture a fast following step. A semiquantitative argument supporting this hypothesis is presented.
