Catalyst-Free Decarboxylative Amination of Carboxylic Acids in Water Microdroplets

Yifan Meng et al.

Summary: In this study, hydroxyl radicals generated in situ were used for an organic transformation to synthesize anilines from aryl acids and ammonia/primary or secondary amines via decarboxylation. This one-step reaction occurred at room temperature without the need for metal catalysts or organic solvents. The scope of this transformation includes various types of amines and aromatic acids, enabling the synthesis of aniline and N-substituted anilines in a single step.

On the stability of carbocation in water microdroplets

Shibdas Banerjee

Summary: Air-water system is an important interface for studying chemistry and achieving sustainability. Recent research shows that reactive carbocation species can be stabilized and captured in water microdroplets, contrary to previous expectations. This article provides insights on the factors that contribute to stabilizing carbocations at the air-water interface.

One-Step Formation of Pharmaceuticals Having a Phenylacetic Acid Core Using Water Microdroplets

Yifan Meng et al.

Summary: Using room-temperature water microdroplets and applying negative high voltage at the sprayer source, toluene can react with CO2 to form phenylacetic acid in one step without any catalyst. The chemical components of these microdroplets are identified by mass spectrometry, and product structures are confirmed by tandem mass spectrometry. Mechanistic studies reveal that benzyl radicals formed from hydroxyl radicals at the water microdroplet interface drive these carboxylation reactions. This water microdroplet chemistry is general, enabling the activation and subsequent carboxylation of aryl alpha-C-H groups.

Spontaneous dark formation of OH radicals at the interface of aqueous atmospheric droplets

Kangwei Li et al.

Summary: Hydroxyl radicals (OH) play a crucial role as oxidants in atmospheric chemistry, and their aqueous sources have been mainly attributed to known bulk processes or interfacial chemistry driven by O3 and NO3 radicals. This study provides experimental evidence that OH radicals can be spontaneously produced at the air-water interface of aqueous droplets, even in the absence of known precursors, possibly due to the strong electric field formed at such interfaces. The measured OH production rates in atmospherically relevant droplets are comparable to or higher than those from known bulk sources, particularly in the dark. As aqueous droplets are widespread in the troposphere, this interfacial source of OH radicals is expected to have significant impacts on atmospheric multiphase oxidation chemistry, with implications for air quality, climate, and health.

Probing solvation electrostatics at the air-water interface

Marilia T. C. Martins-Costa et al.

Summary: Using Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations, the study analyzes the strength of the local electric field at the air-water interface caused by solvent reorganization around the methanol molecule. The calculated electric field at the interface was found to be smaller than the bulk phase, but significantly higher than the electric field at the pristine interface. The findings suggest that the recent discovery of reaction rate acceleration at aqueous interfaces cannot be solely attributed to the strength of the electric field.

Quantitative detection of hydrogen peroxide in rain, air, exhaled breath, and biological fluids by NMR spectroscopy

Tayeb Kakeshpour et al.

Summary: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a key role in environmental chemistry, biology, and medicine. Quantitative detection of H2O2 is challenging due to its low concentration compared to water. This study demonstrates that optimized NMR spectroscopy allows direct, interference-free measurements of submicromolar levels of H2O2 in various fluids. The study also confirms the spontaneous generation of H2O2 in microdroplets formed on a hydrophobic surface, which can interfere with atmospheric H2O2 measurements. The antimicrobial activity and seasonal variation of H2O2 may be linked to respiratory viral diseases.

Can electric fields drive chemistry for an aqueous microdroplet?

Hongxia Hao et al.

Summary: Reaction rates of common organic reactions can significantly increase by several orders of magnitude in aqueous microdroplets compared to bulk solution. However, the reasons for this rate acceleration are still poorly understood. By studying the electric field distributions at the air-water interface, it has been found that the electric field alignments along free O-H bonds at the surface are on average around 16 MV/cm larger than those in the interior of the water droplet. This difference in electric field distribution may contribute to the enhanced surface reactivity observed in microdroplets.

Capturing Reactive Carbanions by Microdroplets

Anubhav Kumar et al.

Summary: Carbanions, which are transient intermediates in organic or biological reactions, are difficult to observe directly. This study demonstrates that aqueous microdroplets can capture and stabilize carbanion intermediates from various reactions, allowing for their detection and providing insights into reaction mechanisms. The composition of the microdroplets, specifically water-methanol, plays a crucial role in the efficiency of carbanion capture.

Spontaneous Formation of Hydrogen Peroxide in Water Microdroplets

Joseph P. Heindel et al.

Summary: There is growing evidence that chemical reactions in micrometer-sized liquid droplets can occur at significantly accelerated rates. However, the molecular mechanism behind this enhancement is still unclear. In this study, the authors investigate the energy step of hydroxide ions converting to hydroxyl radicals in microdroplets, and find that the ionization energy of partially solvated hydroxide ions is greatly reduced at the droplet's interface.

Oxidation of sulfur dioxide by nitrogen dioxide accelerated at the interface of deliquesced aerosol particles

Tengyu Liu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the rate of reaction between NO2 and SO2 in dense atmospheric particles is significantly higher than in dilute solutions, indicating that the surface of aerosol particles may be the driving force behind this rapid reaction kinetics. These results suggest that the oxidation of SO2 by NO2 at aerosol surfaces could be an important source of sulfate aerosols under polluted haze conditions.
