THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 915:169429. [PMID: 38123086 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Natural organic matter (NOM) plays a critical role in the mobilization and bioavailability of metals and metalloids in the aquatic environment. Selenium (Se), an environmental contaminant of aquatic systems, has drawn increasing attention over the years. While Se is a vital micronutrient to human beings, animals and plants, excess Se intake may pose serious long-term risks. However, the interaction between Se and dissolved organic matter (DOM) remains relatively unexplored, especially the reaction mechanisms and interactions of specific NOM components of certain molecular weight and the corresponding functional group change. Herein, we report an investigation on the interactions between Se and DOM by focusing on the mass distribution profile change of operationally defined molecular weight fractions of humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA). The results showed that across all molecular weights studied, HA fractions were more prone to enhanced aggregation upon introduction of Se into the system. For FA, the presence of Se species results in aggregation, dissociation, and redox reactions with the first two being the major mechanisms. Total organic carbon analysis (TOC), UV-vis spectroscopy (UV-vis), and Orbitrap MS data showed that [10, 30] kDa MW fraction had the largest aromatic decrease (CRAM-like, lignin-like and tannin-like) upon addition of SeO2 via dissociation as the dominant mechanism. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) revealed that Se based bridging or chelation of functional groups from individual DOM components through hydrogen bonding in the form of SeO⋯H and possibly Se⋯H and/or attractive electrostatic interactions lead to aggregated DOM1⋯Se⋯DOM2. It was concluded from two-dimensional correlation analyses of excitation emission matrix (EEM) and FT-IR that the preferred Se-binding follows lipid ➔ peptide ➔ tannin ➔ aromatic functionalities. These results provide new understanding of Se interactions with various NOM components in aquatic environments and provide insight for Se assessing health risk and/or treatment of Se contaminated water.

Abstract
A strategy for the synthesis of bacteriochlorophyll a relies on joining AD and BC halves that contain the requisite stereochemical configurations of the target macrocycle. The BC half (1) is a dihydrodipyrrin bearing a dimethoxymethyl group at the 1-position, a β-ketoester at the 8-position, and (R)-2-methyl and (R)-3-ethyl substituents in the pyrroline ring. An established route to AD-dihydrodipyrrins (Pd-mediated coupling of a 2-halopyrrole with a chiral 4-pentynoic acid followed by Petasis methenylation, acidic hydrolysis, Paal-Knorr ring closure, and Riley oxidation) proved to be unviable for BC-dihydrodipyrrins given the presence of the β-ketoester unit. A route presented here entails Pd-mediated coupling of a 2-halopyrrole (2) with (3R,4R)-4-ethyl-1,1-dimethoxy-3-methylhex-5-yn-2-one (3), anti-Markovnikov hydration of the alkyne to give the 1,4-diketone, and Paal-Knorr ring closure. Compound 3 was prepared by Schreiber-modified Nicholas reaction beginning with (S)-4-isopropyl-3-propionyloxazolidin-2-one and the hexacarbonyldicobalt complex of (±) 3-methoxy-1-(trimethylsilyl)pentyne followed by transformation of the aldehyde derived therefrom to the 1,1-dimethoxymethylcarbonyl motif. The absolute stereochemical configuration of the Schreiber-Nicholas alkylation product was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, whereas the BC half (1) by 1H NMR spectroscopy showed a J value of 2.9 Hz consistent with the trans-configuration. Taken together, the route provides a key chiral building block for the synthesis of photosynthetic tetrapyrroles and analogues.

Abstract
ortho-Quinone methides (o-QMs) underwent formal [4 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions with arylallenes regioselectively at the styrenyl olefin to furnish the corresponding 3-methylene-2-arylchromans in moderate to good yields (up to 88%). When R ≠ H, the reactions also proceeded with moderate stereoselectivity (up to 5:1) which was governed by the nature of the R group. The 3-methylene-2-arylchromans could serve as common intermediates for further functionalization including epoxidation, oxidative cleavage/Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, Riley oxidation, acid-catalyzed rearrangement, and Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to furnish the corresponding derivatives in moderate to good yields.

Abstract
The monoanionic tetrapyrrolic macrocycle B,C-tetradehydrocorrin (TDC) resides chemically between corroles and corrins. This chemical space remains largely unexplored due to a lack of reliable synthetic strategies. We now report the preparation and characterization of Co(II)- and Ni(II)-metalated TDC derivatives ([Co-TDC]+ and [Ni-TDC]+, respectively) with a combination of crystallographic, electrochemical, computational, and spectroscopic techniques. [Ni-TDC]+ was found to undergo primarily ligand-centered electrochemical reduction, leading to hydrogenation of the macrocycle under cathodic electrolysis in the presence of acid. Transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy reveals that [Ni-TDC]+ and the two-electron-reduced [Ni-TDC]- possess long-lived excited states, whereas the excited state of singly reduced [Ni-TDC] exhibits picosecond dynamics. The Co(I) compound [Co-TDC] is air stable, highlighting the notable property of the TDC ligand to stabilize low-valent metal centers in contradistinction to other tetrapyrroles such as corroles, which typically stabilize metals in higher oxidation states.

Abstract
We report on a new compound composed of a phenanthroline network in which emerging channels are alternately occupied by selenous acid (H2SeO3) and dioxane molecules. The material undergoes a variety of structural changes due to both its redox activity as well as its thermal decomposition. We investigate an internal redox system of the incorporated selenous acid and the aldehyde groups of the phenanthroline framework. The reduction process of the selenium species was further elucidated by cyclic voltammetry, while the oxidation process was also monitored by 1H NMR spectra. The thermal behavior reveals that the material can undergo a reversible, topotactic transition due to dioxane and water (de)intercalation.

Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds are among the most prestigious and valuable chemical molecules with diverse and magnificent applications in various sciences. Due to the remarkable and numerous properties of the heterocyclic frameworks, the development of efficient and convenient synthetic methods for the preparation of such outstanding compounds is of great importance. Undoubtedly, catalysis has a conspicuous role in modern chemical synthesis and green chemistry. Therefore, when designing a chemical reaction, choosing and or preparing powerful and environmentally benign simple catalysts or complicated catalytic systems for an acceleration of the chemical reaction is a pivotal part of work for synthetic chemists. Chitosan, as a biocompatible and biodegradable pseudo-natural polysaccharide is one of the excellent choices for the preparation of suitable catalytic systems due to its unique properties. In this review paper, every effort has been made to cover all research articles in the field of one-pot synthesis of heterocyclic frameworks in the presence of chitosan-based catalytic systems, which were published roughly by the first quarter of 2020. It is hoped that this review paper can be a little help to synthetic scientists, methodologists, and catalyst designers, both on the laboratory and industrial scales.

Abstract
G-protein-coupled receptors are deactivated or desensitized by phosphorylation by respective G-protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs). In zebrafish rod and cone photoreceptor cells, four orthologous GRKs are expressed participating in the deactivation of rod and cone opsins. An important feature of GRKs in general is the consensus sites for lipid modification, which would allow the posttranslational attachment of isoprenoids facilitating membrane association and enzymatic performance. Because direct proof is missing for isoprenoid modification of zebrafish GRKs, we used a semichemical approach to study the incorporation of a farnesyl moiety into a GRK and its cellular consequences. The approach involves organic synthesis of a functionalized farnesyl derivative that is suitable for a subsequent alkyne-azide cycloaddition (click reaction). For this purpose, zebrafish GRK was expressed in HEK293 cells and modified in situ with the synthetic farnesyl moiety. Successful farnesylation by an endogenous farnesyltransferase was detected by immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry using a biotin-streptavidin-coupled assay and ligation with a fluorescence dye, respectively. Immunocytochemical detection of farnesylated GRK in different cell compartments indicates the applicability of the approach for studying the transport of cellular components.
