Partially and fully beta-brominated Mn-porphyrins in P450 biomimetic systems: effects of the degree of bromination on electrochemical and catalytic properties.
Beta-hexabromo-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carbomethoxyphenyl)porphyrinatomanganese(III) chloride (Mn(III)(Br6TCMPP)Cl) was prepared by selective Br2-hexabromation of its parent non-brominated manganese complex (Mn(III)(TCMPP)Cl), whereas the octabrominated analogue beta-octabromo-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carbomethoxyphenyl)porphyrinatomanganese(III) chloride (Mn(III)(Br8TCMPP)Cl) was synthesized via metallation of the corresponding free-base. Beta-octabromo-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carbomethoxyphenyl)porphyrin was obtained by demetallation of its brominated Cu(II) derivative, which, in its turn, was prepared by either a Br2 or an N-bromosuccinimide protocol. Relative to Mn(III)(TCMPP)Cl (E(1/2) = -0.16 V vs. normal hydrogen electrode, CH2Cl2), the Mn(III)/Mn(II) reduction potential of Mn(III)(Br8TCMPP)Cl and Mn(III)(Br6TCMPP)Cl showed anodic shifts of 0.43 and 0.33 V, respectively, which corresponded to a linear shift of 0.05 V per bromine added. These manganese complexes were evaluated as cytochrome P450 mimics in catalytic iodosylbenzene (PhIO)-oxidations of cyclohexane and cyclohexene. In aerobic PhIO-oxidation of cyclohexene, epoxidation and allylic autoxidation reactions were inversely related, competitive processes; the most efficient P450-mimics were the least effective autoxidation catalysts. Mn(III)(Br6TCMPP)Cl was more efficient as epoxidation or hydroxylation catalyst than both its fully and non-beta-brominated counterparts were. There was no linear relationship between the catalytic efficiency and both the number of bromine substituents and the Mn(III)/Mn(II) potential; these observations were compared to Lyons system literature data and discussed. Analogously to enzymatic optimum pH effects, an optimum redox potential effect is suggested as relevant in designing and understanding cytochrome P450 biomimetic catalysts.
