Background
Hydrogenase Enzyme Mimic Synthesis q The synthesis of the hydrogenase enzyme mimic was completed up to compound 4. The compound was identified by IR (1650cm-1, 1670cm-1) and 1H-NMR (δ = 6.77ppm, s). The IR spectra for all complexes made showed three carbonyl peaks that did not change at 1990cm-1, 2040cm-1, and 2080cm-1.

Abstract Reaction Scheme and Methods q The 1H-NMR spectra of compounds 3 and 4 show chemical shifts at 6.35 ppm, 5.40 ppm, and 5.01 ppm. This indicates the same compound is present in both spectra. It can be determined that the compound present is not the starting chloroquinone by comparing both spectra against the chloroquinone 1H-NMR spectrum. The chloroquinone chemical shifts are further downfield indicating the protons on the chloroquinone are more deshielded than when complexed with compound 2. The shift for the single proton on compound 4 is present at 6.77ppm. The integration of compound 3’s protons was done first to show that 3 was present. The integrations was done on HA to give a value of 2.08 which indicates a ratio of 1:2 for compounds 3 and 4. For further verification, the IR of compound 4 shows carbonyl stretching peaks at 1650cm-1 and 1670cm-1 that are not present in the IR spectra of compounds 2 and 3.

q The reactions performed gave very low yields of product. The percent yield of compounds 2, 3, and 4 were 24.58%, 22.45%, and 15.12% respectively. A possible reason for the low percent yields is the ability of the compounds to decompose while being purified on a column.

q The Hydrogenase enzyme is a protein used by the human body to catalyze the oxidation and reduction of molecular hydrogen. This reversible redox reaction plays an important role in glycolysis. The enzyme produces H2 from 2H+. The enzyme catalyzes this reaction with remarkable efficiency, and therefore is being investigated to determine the possible commercial production of H2 as an alternative fuel.
q The goal of this project was to synthesize hydrogenzase mimics containing redox active quinone ligands to mimic the electron transport chain of the active site. The structure of the mimic is shown on the left with a chlorine for the R group.
Results
q The mimic that was to be synthesized would have given an EPR spectrum with a G value differing from the previously made mimics shown above. As seen above the addition of the [2Fe2S] cluster shifts the G value to the left indicating the electron is more delocalized around the [2Fe2S] cluster rather than the quinone.

Synthesis of Compound 2 q First 20 mL of 1 was added to a round bottom flask containing 100 mL MeOH, 60 mL KOH. Next, 26.13 g of S8 was added, followed by the addition 1 mole of HCl in 150 mL H2O over three hours via liquid addition funnel. The reaction was let sit for another 4 hours and was purified by column chromatography.
Synthesis of Compound 3 q To a quartz tube, 10 mL of DCM, 300 mg of 2, and 100 mg of the chloroquinone were added. The tube was let to react for 3 hours while under intense UV radiation. The product was purified via column chromatography.
q IR Spectra for Compounds 2, 3, and 4. Three carbonyl peaks are seen, 1990cm-1, 2040cm-1, and 2080cm-1, representing the three different C=O ligands attached to iron. Two peaks 1650cm-1 and 1670cm-1 in the spectrum for compound 4 represent the carbonyls now present on the ring.
q The next steps in the research are to synthesize compound 5 and run the two different derivatives on EPR. The EPR spectra will show the effect of the two different R groups (Cl, OMe) on the placement within the complex of a radical electron. The different spectra will serve as a guideline for other electron donating and electron withdrawing groups. The difference in electron character has a large impact on the efficiency of the hydrogenase enzyme mimics.
Synthesis of Compound 4 q To a round bottom flask, 20 mL of DCM, 100mg of 3, and 60 mg of DDQ were added. The reaction was stirred for 2 hours. After 2 hours the solution was c o n c e n t r a t e d a n d p u r i f i e d b y c o l u m n chromatography.
Synthesis of Compound 5 q To a round bottom flask, add 20 mL THF, 20 mg of compound 4, and 2.0 mL of ONMe3 is added dropwise over 5 minutes. The reaction is let sit for 3 hours then filtered and washed with cold methanol. The c o m p o u n d i s t h e n p u r i f i e d b y c o l u m n chromatography.

site. The compound synthesized is a mimic of this active site with a quinone acting as the ETC. q The compound synthesized was to be analyzed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). This analysis would show where a free radical electron would be delocalized to, either delocalized to the [2Fe2S] complex or to the quinone. The spectrum would then be compared to other iron quinone complexes. A sample EPR spectra is show below.
