A Mechanism for the Oxidation of Glutathione to Glutathione Disulfide with Organotellurium(IV) and Organoselenium(IV) Compounds. A Stepwise Process with Implications for Photodynamic Therapy and Other Oxidative Chemotherapy
摘要:
The reactions of telluroxides or their hydrates 3-5 with glutathione to give telluropyrylium dyes 1, 2 or diphenyl telluride, respectively, and glutathione disulfide have at least two discrete steps. A fast reaction, which is first-order in both substrate and glutathione, is observed with second-order rate constants of 2.30 x 10(7) L mol(-1) s(-1) at 285.4 K for 3, 1.66 x 10(7) L mol(-1) s(-1) at 293.2 K for 4, and 5.2 x 10(6) L mol(-1) s(-1) at 285.5 K for 5. This reaction is followed by a slower reaction, which is first-order in both substrate and glutathione, with second-order rate constants of 2.65 x 10(5) L mol(-1) s(-1) at 293.5 K for 3, 3.34 x 10(5) L mol(-1) s(-1) at 293.2 K for 4, and 7.64 x 10(3) L mol(-1) s(-1) at 285.5 K for 5. The slow reaction is accompanied by the generation of the corresponding tellurium-(II) compound. Diphenyl selenoxide hydrate (6) displays similar behavior, although the rate constants associated with the fast (2.26 x 10(2) L mol(-1) s(-1)) and slow (6.62 x 10(1) L mol(-1) s(-1)) reactions are many orders-of-magnitude less than observed for the tellurium analogues.

Diorganotellurium(IV) bis(fluorocarboxylates)[R2Te(OCOR')2] [R = Me, Ph,p-MeOC6H4 and p-EtOC6H4; R' = CF3, C2F5, C3F7] have been prepared by the interaction of R2Te(OMe)2 with fluorocarboxylic acids (R'COOH). Identical products were obtained by the metathetical reaction of R2TeCl2 with silver salts of the fluorocarboxylic acids in 1:2 molar ratios. However, when the reaction proceeded in a 1:1 molar ratio, the product
The present invention relates to the use of telluroxides as mild and selective oxidizing agents serving to oxidize certain functions, notably >C.dbd.S groups, in the presence of other relatively easily oxidized functions which remain unaffected; telluroxides of interest as oxidizing agents include, for example, compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R and R.sup.1, which may be the same or different, each represent an optionally substituted aryl or heterocyclic group; or R and R.sup.1 together with the tellurium atom therebetween represent a heterocyclic ring, which may contain one or more further heteroatoms, and which may carry substituents and/or fused aromatic rings.

Abstract Sodium ascorbate was found to mildly reduce organyltellurium trihalides to diorganyl ditellurides, organylselenium trihalides to diorganyl diselenides, diorganyltellurium dihalides and oxides to diorganyl tellurides and diorganylselenium dihalides and oxides to diorganyl selenides.
Photosensitized oxidation of tellurides carrying bulky aromatic substituents afforded the corresponding telluroxides which were found to react with simple alcohols to give the corresponding carbonyl compounds in excellent yields along with the starting tellurides.

The metal-free oxidation of sulfides to sulfones using sodium bromate (NaBrO3) in [bmim]HSO4:H2O (3:1, v/v) at 80 °C is reported. Phenylalkyl, phenylbenzyl, diaryl and heteroaryl sulfides were transformed to the corresponding sulfones. Aryl tellurides and phosphines were oxidised to the corresponding telluroxides and phosphine oxides. All the reactions proceeded smoothly and gave high yields in 20–55
