  • Excited state molecular structural evolution and chemical reactivity studied by femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Han, Fangyuan
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, my research work on excited state dynamics of small organic molecules in solutions is presented. Using femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) as the main experimental tool, the excited state hydrogen-bonding dynamics (ESHBD) of Coumarin 102, a common laser dye molecule, in ethanol solution is examined with <150...

  • 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...

  • Progress Towards the Total Synthesis of Bazzanin K

    Creator:
    Salvo, Patrick
    Abstract:
    Molecular chirality plays a critical role in chemistry, biology, and medicine. To study and better understand conformational chirality, it is necessary to obtain structurally interesting molecules that exhibit this form of chirality. Our lab utilizes total synthesis and methodological development to obtain conformationally chiral natural products of interest. We believe...

  • Designing chiral rhenium (VII) trioxo complexes

    Creator:
    Juniku, Rajan B.
    Abstract:
    The epoxide deoxygenation reaction is formally the reverse of theepoxidation reaction. Compared to epoxidation, which has reached its fullmaturity, epoxide deoxygenation has not been as intensively developed.Among the few deoxygenation reagents, a handful are catalytic in a metalcomplex, show high stereospecificity and operate under mild conditions. Acommon feature of all...

  • The development of aminal radicals for the synthesis of nitrogen-rich natural products

    Creator:
    Schiedler, David A.
    Abstract:
    Organic compounds which contain one or more nitrogen atoms are especially important as they are disproportionately represented among biologically active molecules. As a result, significant effort has been focused on the development of methods for the synthesis of nitrogenous molecules. We identified the aminal as an under-explored functional group. Despite...

  • Stereoselective synthesis & application of enantioenriched main group α-haloalkyl organometal reagents

    Creator:
    Emerson, Christopher R.
    Abstract:
    Sulfoxide-ligand exchange (SLE) and asymmetric halogen-metal exchange (AHME) processes were separately examined for the enantioselective synthesis of functionalized alpha-haloalkylmetal (carbenoid) reagents. Carbenoids derived from SLE were used to effect stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (StReCH) of boronic esters and those generated via AHME were engaged in Darzens-type chemistry with aldehydes. Abstract for...
