Kinetic Study on the Reactivity of Azanone (HNO) toward Cyclic <i>C</i>-Nucleophiles

Azanone (HNO) is an elusive electrophilic reactive nitrogen species of growing pharmacological and biological significance. Here, we present a comparative kinetic study of HNO reactivity toward selected cyclic <i>C</i>-nucleophiles under aqueous conditions at pH 7.4. We applied the compe...

description Azanone (HNO) is an elusive electrophilic reactive nitrogen species of growing pharmacological and biological significance. Here, we present a comparative kinetic study of HNO reactivity toward selected cyclic <i>C</i>-nucleophiles under aqueous conditions at pH 7.4. We applied the competition kinetics method, which is based on the use of a fluorescein-derived boronate probe FlBA and two parallel HNO reactions: with the studied scavenger or with O<sub>2</sub> (<i>k</i> = 1.8 × 10<sup>4</sup> M<sup>−1</sup>s<sup>−1</sup>). We determined the second-order rate constants of HNO reactions with 13 structurally diverse <i>C</i>-nucleophiles (<i>k</i> = 33–20,000 M<sup>−1</sup>s<sup>−1</sup>). The results show that the reactivity of HNO toward <i>C</i>-nucleophiles depends strongly on the structure of the scavenger. The data are supported with quantum mechanical calculations. A comprehensive discussion of the HNO reaction with <i>C</i>-nucleophiles is provided.
