  • Cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane : a novel C₂-symmetric scaffold for asymmetric catalysis

    Creator:
    Shaw, Subrata
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the development of a new enantioselective synthetic method employing chiral cis-2,5-diaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-based organometallic catalysts. The significance of this new method to organic synthesis is illustrated with preparation of enantioenriched products that are transformed to important pharmaceutical agents. Chapter 1 provides a brief historical overview of asymmetric catalysis, especially...

    Creator:
    Theramongkol, Parinya
    Abstract:
    Bromoalkoxylation of dihydropyran with bromine and 1-borneol, followed by dehydrobromination and epoxidation, afforded trans-2-1- bornyloxy-3,4-epoxytetrahydropyran as a major product. This was treated with sodium phenylselenide to give a 1:1 mixture of (2R,3R,4R)- 2-1-bornyloxy-3-hydroxy-4-phenylselenotetrahydropyran and its (2S,3S, 4S) diastereomer. Elimination of the selenoxide, derived from oxidation of the former with hydrogen...

  • Approaches to the total synthesis of verrucarol

    Creator:
    Hill, David E. (David Edwin) 1954-
    Abstract:
    Verrucarol is the sesquiterpene portion of a number of macrocyclic di- and triesters of potential medicinal importance. In this study, a novel approach to the synthesis of this fungal metabolite is presented. An A-B-C route was investigated in which C-3 and C-4 of the C-ring were emplaced using a [2+2]...

  • Synthesis of two subunits of avermectin B1a

    Creator:
    Dantanarayana, Anura Pathmasiri
    Abstract:
    Avermectins are a group of potent anthelmintic agents produced by Streptomyces avermitilis. They are active at extremely low dosages and are now in commercial use. In this study, the synthesis of two segments of avermectin B[subscript 1a] are described. The synthesis of the hexahydrobenzofuran subunit (segment A) began with the...

  • Total synthesis of (-)-7-epicylindrospermopsin

    Creator:
    Hansen, Joshua D.
    Abstract:
    The first asymmetric synthesis of (-)-7-epicylindrospermopsin via intramolecular nitrone cycloaddition is described. The synthesis utilized a convergent approach to prepare the cycloaddition precursor 176, which was assembled by condensation of hydroxylamine 175 with aldehyde 145. Hydroxylamine 175 was synthesized from ethylene glycol (166) in seven steps. Aldehyde 145 was completed...

    Abstract:
    Studies toward the total synthesis of (+)-providencin (1), a highly oxygenated cembranoid dipterpene with a unique bicyclo[12.2.0]hexadecane skeleton and pronounced biological activity, are described. These studies resulted in the synthesis of advanced intermediates 320 and 332 which contain all of the carbon atoms of 1. In a first generation approach...

    Abstract:
    Studies towards the total synthesis of (-)-gymnodimine (1), a marine neurotoxin with a unique molecular architecture and pronounced biological activity, are described. These studies resulted in a convergent approach to the advanced intermediate 315, containing the C3-C32 section of 1. Two synthetic routes were developed to construct the tetrahydrofuran subunit...

    Creator:
    LaMunyon, James B.
    Abstract:
    Rapamycin (5) was isolated in 1975 from the soil bacteria Streptomyces hygroscopicus and its structure was determined from spectroscopic techniques and an x-ray crystallographic analysis. Although it was initially found to exhibit antibiotic activity, it was subsequently shown to possess potent immunosuppressive activity as well. Three approaches to the synthesis...
