  • Total Synthesis of Cephalotaxus Alkaloids and Synthetic Studies toward Bazzanin K

    Creator:
    Ju, Xuan
    Abstract:
    Dearomatization reactions exist broadly in biosynthesis and chemical synthesis. The highly functionalized atoms of arenes can be masked by it aromaticity, and upon dearomatization, those reactive atoms can be readily applied to bond formation and further manipulation. The total synthesis of (–)-cephalotaxine and (–)- homoharringtonine is described via an oxidative...

  • Gas-phase fragmentation chemistry of protonated peptide ions

    Creator:
    Bythell, Benjamin James
    Abstract:
    The fragmentation characteristics of protonated peptides have been investigated using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) under various fragmentation regimes and detailed density functional theory (DFT) reaction pathway calculations. The DFT calculations predict novel salt-bridge stabilized transition structures as well as consecutive reactions occurring in proton-bound dimers for some of the ions...

  • Analytical method development for the identification, detection, and quantification of emerging environmental contaminants in complex matrices

    Creator:
    Place, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    The development of analytical methods for emerging contaminants creates many unique challenges for analytical chemists. By their nature, emerging contaminants have inherent data gaps related to their environmental occurrence, fate, and impact. This dissertation is a compilation of three studies related to method development for the structural identification of emerging...

  • Scaffold reactivity and large scale Synthesis of organocatalyzed Yamada-Otani Condensation product and investigation of the synthesis and properties of axially chiral 8,8'-biquinolyls and 8-(naphtha-1-yl)quinolines

    Creator:
    Banerjee, Somdev
    Abstract:
    In Part I, (4S,5R)-4,5-dimethyl-4-phenylcyclohex-2-enone (19a) was prepared in 73% yield with high enantio- and diastereo-selectivity (er > 98:2, dr > 20:1) on a multigram scale by a Yamada-Otani condensation between (E)-pent-3-en-2-one and 2-phenylpropanal catalyzed by a sulfonimide derivative of (S)-proline (18, HuaCat®). Synthetically useful transformations of the cyclohexenone product 19a...

  • Synthetic Studies towards Highly Oxygenated Furanyl Diterpenoids

    Creator:
    Goswami, Subir
    Abstract:
    The furanyl diterpenoid family of natural products has drawn the attention of both synthetic organic chemists and pharmacologists due to their complex structural architectures and diverse biological activity. Among them, wortmannin has been most extensively studied for biological activities. All these furanyl diterpenoids consist of a highly strained naptha[1,8-bc]furan core,...

  • Gene Activation Strategies in Filamentous Fungi for Natural Products Discovery

    Creator:
    Adpressa, Donovon A.
    Abstract:
    Fungi have long been a prolific source of clinically approved drugs. The antibiotic penicillin, the cholesterol lowering statins, and the immunosuppressant cyclosporine have changed the treatment of human diseases in the last century. Recently, genome analysis of filamentous fungi has revealed that the biosynthetic potential for natural product expression is...

  • Drug Discovery from Diverse Bacteria – Bioactivity-guided Isolation of Known and New Metabolites

    Creator:
    Zhu, Chenxi
    Abstract:
    Exploring bioactive natural products has contributed largely to clinically approved drugs we have been using over the last 100 years. Especially among the anti-infective drugs, around 70% of currently used antibiotics were discovered or derived from microbial secondary metabolites, among them compounds like vancomycin, chloramphenicol, and erythromycin. Facing the unavoidable...

  • Novel ternary graphite intercalation compounds of alkali metal cations and amines

    Creator:
    Maluangont, Tosapol
    Abstract:
    Novel ternary graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) of alkali metal cations and a wide variety of amines have been synthesized by one-pot chemical syntheses. Alkali metals studied includes Li, Na and K. The families of amines employed are nalkylamines, branched alkylamines, and different structural isomers of diamines and polyamines. Intragallery structures...

  • Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs): Consumer Products, Protocols, and Percutaneous Absorption

    Creator:
    Rewerts, Justin N.
    Abstract:
    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of anthropogenic compounds gaining notoriety as contaminants of emerging concern. With the frequent detection of PFAS in the environment, drinking water, and consumer products, awareness and concern from the public regarding PFAS is increasing. The two most notorious PFAS are perfluorooctanoate (PFOA)...

    Abstract:
    Crystals of an incongruent-melting compound, Ba₃MgSi₂O₈, were grown by the flux method and its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Ba₃MgSi₂O₈ crystallizes in trigonal space group P-3[bar]m1 with a = 5.6123(3) Å, c = 7.2667(9) Å and Z = 1. Eu²⁺ ions prefer one crystallographic Ba site...
