Elaboration of copper–oxygen mediated C–H activation chemistry in consideration of future fuel and feedstock generation

Abstract: To contribute solutions for current energy concerns, improvements in the efficiency of C-H bond cleavage chemistry, e.g., selective oxidation of methane to methanol, could minimize losses in natural gas usage or produce feedstocks for fuels. Oxidative C-H activation is also a component of polysaccharide degradation, affording alternative biofuels from abundant biomass. Thus, an understanding of active-site chemistry in copper monooxygenases, those activating strong C-H bonds is briefly reviewed. Then, recent a… Show more

“…Yet all of these reaction mechanisms proceed through similar intermediates, corresponding to O 2 -reduced species occurring in aqueous chemistry, but here bound to a copper ion center. [26] These include a cupric superoxide ( E S, end-on binding or S S, side-on bonding), a copper hydroperoxide (Hp), and a copper oxyl (Cp). The Hp and Cp intermediates will be further discussed in Section 4.…”

“…However, since cupric hydroperoxide and copper-oxyl complexes must form at some point during monooxygenase reactivity, [26] we have highlighted here relevant or important aspects of such species, some of which have been synthesized and characterized.…”

“…Computational methods have recently probed the mechanism of reaction used by AA9s 23,27 . Kjaergaard et al used density functional theory (DFT) calculations, augmented with experimental data from EXAFS and XANES spectroscopies which suggested that, in the absence of substrate, a thermodynamically plausible oxygen species is an end-on triplet Cu-AA9-superoxide generated by the one electron reduction of O 2 , which could be the oxidative species which carries out the attack of the C-H bond in the substrate In contrast, in a purely computational approach, Kim et al modelled two possible reaction mechanisms in the presence of substrate, which suggested that the more powerful Cu(II)-oxyl species was necessary to hydroxylate the substrate 28 , although it is notable in these calculations that the oxyl needs to be placed in the axial position of the Jahn-Teller distorted copper coordination sphere for it to be able to react with the substrate. Given the role in biofuel production, a process dominated by fungal enzymes, much of the research focus on LPMOs has been placed on fungal enzymes and their action on cellulose.…”
