  • Total synthesis of phorboxazole A

    Creator:
    Lee, Tae Hee
    Abstract:
    The total synthesis of a highly potent cytotoxic marine natural product, phorboxazole A, is described. Both a palladium(II)-mediated and a palladium(II)-catalyzed intramolecular alkoxycarbonylation were used as key steps for the preparation of the two cis-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran rings (C22-C26 and C11-C15) of phorboxazole A. The synthesis used a convergent approach involving...

  • Studies toward the synthesis of halichlorine and pinnaic acid

    Creator:
    Korf, Eric A.
    Abstract:
    Three approaches toward the core of halichlorine and pinnaic acid are described. The first approach entails a racemic transannular nitrone-olefin [3+2] cycloaddition from nitrone 238. Construction of the nitrone 238 began with aldehyde 241. Another key feature in this route involved a ring-closing metathesis for the formation of a 14-membered...

  • Studies towards the total synthesis of (-)-kendomycin

    Creator:
    Smits, Helmars
    Abstract:
    Studies towards the total synthesis of (−)-kendomycin (1), a bacterial metabolite with a unique molecular architecture and pronounced biological activity, are described. These studies resulted in the synthesis of advanced intermediate 208, containing all of the carbon atoms of 1. A Dötz annulation between alkyne 122 and novel chromium carbenoid...

  • Studies toward the total synthesis of alkaloids : nagelamide A and D, agelastatin D, dragmacidin A-C, salacin and almazoles

    Creator:
    Tonsiengsom, Sorasaree
    Abstract:
    Studies toward the total syntheses of highly potent cytotoxic alkaloids including the bromopyrrole alkaloids and indole alkaloids were conducted and are described. Studies carried out in the course of this dissertation consist of five total syntheses of natural products that include bromopyrrole alkaloids nagelamide A, D and agelastatin D as...

  • Polarization spectroscopy and photodissociation studies of nitroaromatic compounds in the gas phase

    Creator:
    Abbott, James E.
    Abstract:
    The central purpose of this dissertation was to explore and expand the use of an uniform electric field for orientation and for subsequent spectroscopic investigation of asymmetric polar molecules in the gas phase. The systems of study were nitrobenzene (NB) and the nitrotoluene (NT) isomers. We were able to quantitatively...

  • Tracking semi-volatile organic pollutants in remote lake systems

    Creator:
    Usenko, Sascha
    Abstract:
    SOCs volatility and persistence properties cause many SOCs to become ubiquitous in the environment as well as accumulate in areas with lower temperatures such as polar or orographic regions. Many anthropogenic SOCs pose a serious risk to human and ecosystem health because of their persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic properties in...

  • Semi-volatile fluorinated organic compounds in Asian and Pacific Northwestern U.S. air masses

    Creator:
    Piekarz, Arkadiusz M.
    Abstract:
    Current studies suggest that perfluorinated organic compounds, such as fluorotelomer alcohols (FtOHs) in the troposphere, may be precursors of perfluorocarboxylic acids and perfluorosulfonates in remote regions. Fluorinated organic compounds were investigated in archived extracts collected from remote locations in Okinawa, Japan (HSO) and Mount Bachelor, Oregon (MBO) during the springs...

  • Analysis of semi-volatile organic contaminants and their accumulation in remote aquatic ecosystems of the western US

    Creator:
    Ackerman, Luke K.
    Abstract:
    Many pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are persistent, bio-accumulative, and toxic. These semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) can undergo atmospheric transport and deposition in cold, remote ecosystems. A better understanding of their accumulation in the fish of these ecosystems is important to better predict...

    Creator:
    Huset, Carin A.
    Abstract:
    While fluorochemicals have been detected all over the world and in wastewater treatment plants, the effect of wastewater effluent on the receiving waters has not been evaluated. In the first study, the mass flow of fluorochemicals emanating from wastewater treatment plants along the Glatt River in Switzerland was evaluated. The...

  • Biological oxidation of sorbitol

    Creator:
    Cummins, Joseph Thomas
    Abstract:
    The oxidation of sorbitol by soluble extracts of A. suboxydans proceeds by two pathways depending upon which pyridine nucleotide is present. In the presence of TPN, sorbose is formed. In the presence of DPN fructose is produced. Both products of the oxidation of sorbitol have been identified by paper chromatography,...
