  • Total Synthesis of Aspidosperma Alkaloids Leuconoxine, Melodinine E and Mersicarpine and Synthetic Studies directed toward the Iboga Alkaloid Ibogaine: Progress directed toward the dimeric Cephalotaxus Alkaloid Cephalancetine C

    Creator:
    Kim, GilSoo
    Abstract:
    The first part of this manuscript is about the total synthesis of the aspidosperma alkaloids leuconoxine, melodinine E and mersicarpine. Our synthetic strategy used a radical translocation-conjugate addition cascade to construct the core of the natural product. Specifically, a vinyl radical was generated from the homolysis of the C–I bond...

  • Graphite intercalation compounds containing fluoroanions

    Creator:
    Katinonkul, Watcharee
    Abstract:
    New chemical synthesis strategies have been investigated for the preparation of acceptor-type graphite intercalation compounds (GIC's) with fluoroanions in order to obtain new materials and to develop a better understanding of the synthetic approaches and properties of the products. New GIC's containing borate chelate anion such as bis(oxalato)borate, CxB[OC(O)C(O)O]₂•δF, are...

  • A Pyrone Diels–Alder Approach to Substituted Indoles and Carbazoles and the Synthesis of New Ropinirole Analogues

    Creator:
    Points, Gary L., III
    Abstract:
    Aromatic heterocycles are core structural motifs in natural products, pharmaceuticals and biological polymers. Indoles, in particular, represent a significant subclass of aromatic heterocycles, both in terms of sheer numbers, but also in biological and pharmaceutical relevance. As such, new methodologies for the synthesis of indoles represent an important and continually...

  • Radiation effects on III-V heterostructure devices

    Creator:
    Jun, Bongim
    Abstract:
    The neutron and electron radiation effects in Ill-V compound semiconductor heterostructure devices are studied in this thesis. Three types of devices investigated are AlGaAs/GaAs high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs heterostructure insulated gate field effect transistors (HIGFETs), and InP/InCaAs/InGaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistors (SHBTs). HEMTs and HIGFETs are primarily investigated...

  • Stereospecific Synthesis of Stereotriad Motifs and Alkenes Using Enantioenriched sp³-Hybridized Carbenoids

    Creator:
    Xun, Sun
    Abstract:
    Enantioenriched sp³-hybridized carbenoid reagents CR1R2MX (X = nucleofuge, M = electrofuge) of different types were investigated for the synthesis of polysubstituted alkyl chains by iterative stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (StReCH) and for the stereospecific connective synthesis of alkenes by eliminative cross-coupling. In the first part, putative enantioenriched α-chloroalkyllithiums (CHRLiCl) were employed...

  • Development of organocatalyzed, intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition and application towards alkaloid synthesis

    Creator:
    Carlson, Erik
    Abstract:
    Effective methods for the enantiopure formation of substituted piperidine rings are significantly important due to their presence in alkaloid products. A valuable method to form these ring systems would be via an intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition from the corresponding enone or enal. Described herein is a methodolgy that has been...

  • Aryl acetylene substituent effects : the synthesis and application of biaryls

    Creator:
    Naffziger, Michael R.
    Abstract:
    The work described herein details the synthesis and application of biphenyls that probe the effects of hydrogen, Cl / Br, and methyl substituents on the aryl ring of the terminal acetylenic carbon. From this work, we successfully developed the rapid synthesis of phenyl acetylenes in 3-4 steps from inexpensive commercially...

  • Synthesis of furanoeremophilane sesquiterpenoids

    Creator:
    Shanmugham, Meenakshi Sundaram
    Abstract:
    Two approaches to the tricyclic core of the furanoeremophilane sesquiterpenoids are described. The first approach entails a projected Diels-Alder/retro Diels-Alder reaction of an acetylenic oxazole 64. Construction of the pivotal aldehyde 67 commenced from ketone 68. The acetyenic moiety was then introduced via a Felkin-Ahn addition of lithiopropyne to aldehyde...

  • Analysis of the mechanism of sulfoxide-lithium exchange and the reactive intermediate in stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (StReCH)

    Creator:
    Hoyt, Amanda
    Abstract:
    The stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (StReCH) of boronic esters with enantioenriched carbenoid species generated in situ by the addition of organolithium initiators to stereodefined α-chloroalkyl aryl sulfoxides was previously reported. The reaction of an organolithium with an α-chloroalkyl aryl sulfoxide ostensibly generates an α-chloroalkyllithium via sulfoxide-lithium exchange; however, the true nature...

  • Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Allenes by Eliminative Cross-Coupling of Carbenoids

    Creator:
    Cao, Yang
    Abstract:
    The bimolecular reaction of two carbenoid species resulting in the formation of a carbon-carbon double bond (pi-system), referred to herein as carbenoid eliminative cross-coupling (CEXC), involves a series of three fundamental steps: (i) ate-complex formation (transmetalation), (ii) 1,2-metalate rearrangement, and (iii) beta-elimination. All three steps are stereospecific and so the...
