Arylhydrazine Trapping of Benzynes: Mechanistic Insights and a Route to Azoarenes.

ABSTRACT: Arylhydrazines (ArN_αHN_βH₂) are ambident nucleophiles. We describe here their reactivity with benzynes generated in situ by thermal cyclization of several multiynes. Products arising from attack of both the alpha- and beta-nitrogen atoms are observed. These competitive modes of reaction were explored by DFT calculations. Substituent effects on the site-selectivity for several substituted phenylhydrazines were explored. Interestingly, the hydrazo products from beta-attack (ArNHNHAr') can be oxidized, sometimes in situ by oxygen alone, to give structurally complex, unsymmetrical azoarenes (ArN═NAr'). Toluenesulfonohydrazide and benzohydrazide analogues were each demonstrated to undergo similar transformations, including oxidation to the corresponding benzyne-trapped azo compounds.

Project description:A surge of data has reproducibly identified strong associations of OSA with cardiac arrhythmias. As an extension of epidemiologic and clinic-based findings, experimental investigations have made strides in advancing our understanding of the putative OSA and cardiac arrhythmogenesis mechanistic underpinnings. Although most studies have focused on the links between OSA and atrial fibrillation (AF), relationships with ventricular arrhythmias have also been characterized. Key findings implicate OSA-related autonomic nervous system fluctuations typified by enhanced parasympathetic activation during respiratory events and sympathetic surges subsequent to respiratory events, which contribute to augmented arrhythmic propensity. Other more immediate pathophysiologic influences of OSA-enhancing arrhythmogenesis include intermittent hypoxia, intrathoracic pressure swings leading to atrial stretch, and hypercapnia. Intermediate pathways by which OSA may trigger arrhythmia include increased systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, enhanced prothrombotic state, and vascular dysfunction. Long-term OSA-associated sequelae such as hypertension, atrial enlargement and fibrosis, ventricular hypertrophy, and coronary artery disease also predispose to cardiac arrhythmia. These factors can lead to a reduction in atrial effective refractory period, triggered and abnormal automaticity, and promote slowed and heterogeneous conduction; all of these mechanisms increase the persistence of reentrant arrhythmias and prolong the QT interval. Cardiac electrical and structural remodeling observed in OSA animal models can progress the arrhythmogenic substrate to further enhance arrhythmia generation. Future investigations clarifying the contribution of specific OSA-related mechanistic pathways to arrhythmia generation may allow targeted preventative therapies to mitigate OSA-induced arrhythmogenicity. Furthermore, interventional studies are needed to clarify the impact of OSA pathophysiology reversal on cardiac arrhythmogenesis and related adverse outcomes.
