Bubbling O into a THF solution of Co(BDPP) (1) at -90 °C generates an O adduct, Co(BDPP)(O) (3). The resonance Raman and EPR investigations reveal that 3 contains a low spin cobalt(III) ion bound to a superoxo ligand. Significantly, at -90 °C, 3 can react with 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-hydroxypiperidine (TEMPOH) to form a structurally characterized cobalt(III)-hydroperoxo complex, Co(BDPP)(OOH) (4) and TEMPO. Our findings show that cobalt(III)-superoxo species are capable of performing hydrogen atom abstraction processes. Such a stepwise O-activating process helps to rationalize cobalt-catalyzed aerobic oxidations and sheds light on the possible mechanism of action for Co-bleomycin.
将氧气鼓泡到 -90°C 的 Co(BDPP)(1)的四氢呋喃溶液中会生成一个 O 加合物,Co(BDPP)(O)(3)。共振拉曼和 EPR 研究表明,3 中含有一个低自旋的钴(III)离子与超氧配体结合。重要的是,在 -90°C 时,3 可以与 2,2,6,6-四甲基-1-羟基哌啶 (TEMPOH)反应,形成一个结构表征的钴(III)-过氧氢配合物 Co(BDPP)(OOH)(4)和 TEMPO。我们的发现表明,钴(III)-超氧物种能够进行氢原子提取过程。这种逐步的 O 激活过程有助于合理化钴催化的有氧氧化,并为 Co-bleomycin 的可能作用机制提供了线索。
