Abstrakt: Copper-dependent metalloenzymes are widespread throughout metabolic pathways, coupling the reduction of O 2 with the oxidation of organic substrates. Small-molecule synthetic analogs are useful platforms to generate L/Cu/O 2 species that reproduce the structural, spectroscopic, and reactive properties of some copper-/O 2 -dependent enzymes. Landmark studies have shown that the conversion between dicopper(II)-peroxo species (L 2 Cu II 2 (O 2 2- ) either side-on peroxo, S P, or end-on trans-peroxo, T P) and dicopper(III)-bis(μ-oxo) (L 2 Cu III 2 (O 2- ) 2 : O) can be controlled through ligand design, reaction conditions (temperature, solvent, and counteranion), or substrate coordination. We recently published ( J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012 , 134 , 8513 , DOI: 10.1021/ja300674m ) the crystal structure of an unusual S P species [(MeAN) 2 Cu II 2 (O 2 2- )] 2+ ( S P MeAN , MeAN: N-methyl-N,N-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]amine) that featured an elongated O-O bond but did not lead to O-O cleavage or reactivity toward external substrates. Herein, we report that S P MeAN can be activated to generate O MeAN and perform the oxidation of external substrates by two complementary strategies: (i) coordination of substituted sodium phenolates to form the substrate-bound O MeAN -RPhO - species that leads to ortho-hydroxylation in a tyrosinase-like fashion and (ii) addition of stoichiometric amounts (1 or 2 equiv) of Lewis acids (LA's) to form an unprecedented series of O-type species (O MeAN -LA) able to oxidize C-H and O-H bonds. Spectroscopic, computational, and mechanistic studies emphasize the unique plasticity of the S P MeAN core, which combines the assembly of exogenous reagents in the primary (phenolates) and secondary (Lewis acids association to the MeAN ligand) coordination spheres with O-O cleavage. These findings are reminiscent of the strategy followed by several metalloproteins and highlight the possible implication of O-type species in copper-/dioxygen-dependent enzymes such as tyrosinase (Ty) and particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO).
