Managanese and dicopper complexes for bioinspired oxidation reactions: catalytic and mechanistic studies on C-H and C=C oxidations

Enzymes are high-weight molecules which catalyze most of the metabolic processes in living organisms. Very often, these proteins contain one or more 1st row transition metal ions in their active center (Fe, Cu, Co, Mn, Zn, etc.), and are known as metalloenzymes or metalloproteins. Among these, metalloenzymes that activate molecular oxygen and use it as terminal oxidant stand out because of the wide range of catalyzed reactions and their exquisite selectivity. In this PhD dissertation we develop low-weight synthetic bioinspired complexes that can mimic structural and/or functional features of the active center of oxigenases. In the first part, we describe the use of unsymmetric dinuclear Cu complexes which are capable of performing the oxidation of phenols and phenolates in a analogous manner of the tyrosinase protein. In the second part, we describe the use of mononuclear manganese complexes in the oxidation of alcanes and alquenes.

O2 activation at bioinspired complexes: dinuclear copper systems and mononuclear non-heme iron compounds. Mechanisms and catalytic applications in oxidative transformations

L'activació d'oxigen que té lloc en els éssers vius constitueix una font d'inspiració pel desenvolupament d'alternatives als oxidants tradicionals, considerats altament tòxics i nocius. En aquesta treball s'utilitzen compostos sintètics com a models del centre actiu de proteïnes dinuclears de coure i mononuclears de ferro de tipus no-hemo que participen en l'activació d'oxigen en els éssers vius. Els sistemes dinuclears de coure mostren un centre de tipus coure(III) bis(oxo) que és capaç de dur a terme l'ortho-hidroxilació de fenols de manera similar a la reacció que catalitza la proteïna tirosinasa. Per altra banda, els sistemes de ferro desenvolupats en aquest treball actuen com a models de les dioxigenases de Rieske i poden dur a terme l'hidroxilació estereoespecífica d'alcans i l'epoxidació i cis-dihidroxilació d'olefines utilitzant peròxid d'hidrogen com a agent oxidant. Tot plegat demostra que el desenvolupament de sistemes model constitueix una bona estratègia per l'estudi dels sistemes naturals.

Theoretical study of catalytic reactions of carbenes: haptotropic rearrangements and the Dötz reaction

En aquesta tesi s'han estudiat mecanismes de reaccions de cicloanulació en carbens de Fischer a través de mètodes teòrics, concretament fent servir el nivell de teoria B3LYP/(Wachters' basis / 6-31G**). Els alcoxi- i amino carbens de pentacarbonil crom, ja siguin vinílics o aromàtics, reaccionen amb acetilè per produir fenols, naftols o derivats ciclopentadiè o indè substituïts amb el Cr(CO)3 coordinat, d'una manera regioselectiva. L'objectiu d'aquest treball és discutir ambudes reaccions competitives particularment a la reacció de Dötz, la qual durant els darrers anys ha estat explorada experimentalment per W.D. Wulff, C.P. Casey, R. Aumann i J. Barluenga entre altres diferents propostes mecanístiques. A més K.H. Dötz va demostrar que la coordinació del Cr(CO)3, un cop l'anell ja està format, pot patir canvis haptotròpics, és a dir, la caminada del complex metàl·lic d'un anell a un altre -generalment almenys substituït- canviant la seva hapticitat (coordinació pi amb els membres de l'anell). Llavors, s'han estudiat les migracions haptotròpiques intramoleculars en petits hidrocarbons aromàtics policíclics amb l'objectiu d'analitzar les rutes de reacció per les quals aquestes reaccions es porten a terme

Activities for social skills development in deaf children preparing to enter the mainstream

A sample of regular education teachers was surveyed to assess the social skills of recently mainstreamed students from oral deaf programs in their classrooms. In addition, a curriculum of social skills activities was developed to help prepare students from oral deaf schools to enter the mainstream.
