Reversible Binding of Oxygen to Aromatic Compounds

Abstract: Many polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are able to trap singlet oxygen (1)O(2). Some of the endoperoxides, thus obtained, exhibit the exceptional feature of releasing oxygen, frequently in the excited singlet state, under heating or UV irradiation. In this Account, we provide a short summary of the present knowledge on these endoperoxides: preparation and thermal and photolytic decomposition, with a special emphasis on the structural requirements to favor cycloreversion. The profitable use of this property in t… Show more

“…The rhodium(I) complex 4 a can be recovered in 94 % yield; 75 % of 6 a (with respect to the amount 1 a) can be isolated. [23] Irradiation of a solution of 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene and 1 a in benzene afforded neither the allylic hydroperoxide 3-hydroperoxy-2,3-dimethylbut-1-ene derived by a singlet-oxygen ene reaction nor acetone by [2+2] cycloaddition. [24] Therefore, we exclude release of singlet dioxygen from 1 a under the reaction conditions, which could also react with 3 to give 6 a.…”

“…1 O 2 could reversibly react with some specific polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. naphthalene, anthracene or pyridine derivatives),90 and form endoperoxide which can subsequent release 1 O 2 via warming and revert to the original state. However, tumor hypoxia91 and PDT‐induced hypoxia92 hinder the development of PDT.…”

“…1,2 The corresponding light-mediated O 2 -adducts of such systems have been utilized for the targeted release of reactive oxygen species such as singlet oxygen. 3,4 Furthermore, the photochemical generation of oxygen-based biradical species from aromatic endoperoxide species has also been investigated in some detail. 5,6 Important biomedical and chemotherapeutic applications of such systems include the delayed triggering of singlet oxygen release, which can induce cellular damage in malignant tissue, 1 and the potential utilization of biomimetic endoperoxide-bond cleavage processes for the controlled deactivation of bacteria, viruses 7 and parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum, which is known to be responsible for the majority of fatal malaria infections.…”
