Vanadyl acetylacetonate is the chemical compound with the formula VO(C5H7O2)2. This blue-green coordination complex consists of the vanadyl group, VO2+, bound to two acetylacetonate anions, acac−. Like other charge-neutral acetylacetonates, this complex is soluble in organic solvents.
Synthesis
The complex is prepared from vanadium(IV), e.g. vanadyl sulfate, or vanadium(V) precursors, such as vanadium pentoxide.[1] The equation for the preparation of vanadyl acetylacetonate through the prior reduction of the vanadyl pentoxide to vanadyl sulfate may be written using the following equations:[2]
V2O5 + 2 H2SO4 + C2H5OH → 2 VOSO4 + 3 H2O +CH3CHO
VOSO4 + 2 C5H8O2 + Na2CO3 → VO(C5H7O2)2 + Na2SO4+CO2 + H2O
The equation for the direct preparation of vanadyl acetylacetonate starting from the pentoxide may also be described by the following redox equation:[3]
- 2 V2O5 + 9 C5H8O2 → 4 VO(C5H7O2)2 + (CH3CO)2CO + 5 H2O
The compound is recrystallized from chloroform.[2]
Structure and properties
The complex has a square pyramidal structure with a short V=O bond. This d1 compound is paramagnetic. Its optical spectrum exhibits two transitions. It is a weak Lewis acid, forming adducts with pyridine and methylamine.[1]
Applications
It is used in organic chemistry as a reagent in the epoxidation of allylic alcohols in combination with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). The VO(acac)2–TBHP system exclusively epoxidizes geraniol at the allylic alcohol position. For comparison, another epoxidizing agent m-CPBA, reacts with both groups, creating the products in a two to one ratio, favoring the allylic position away from the alcohol. TBHP oxidizes VO(acac)2 to a vanadium(V) species which coordinates the alcohol of the substrate and the hydroperoxide.[4][5]
Biomedical aspects
Vanadyl(acac) exhibits insulin mimetic properties, in that in can stimulate the phosphorylation of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3).[6] It has also been shown inhibit tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase), PTPases such as PTP1B, which dephosphorylates insulin receptor beta subunit, thus increasing its phosphorylation, allowing for a prolonged activation of IRS-1, PKB, and GSK3, allowing them to exert their anti-diabetic properties.[6]
