  • Gas phase x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of some ketone compounds

    Creator:
    Situmeang, Rudy T. M.
    Abstract:
    The photoelectron spectra of a series of ketone compounds have been investigated in the gas phase. Core ionization energies were measured to probe the effects of molecular size and connectivity number on core ionization energies. It was found that core ionization energies roughly decrease with increasing connectivity number as expected....

  • Reactions of organoboranes

    Creator:
    Thompson, Thomas Myron
    Abstract:
    An examination was made of some reactions involving a transfer of carbon from boron to carbon. In the case of the reaction of a C[subscript n] alkylorganoborane with dichlorocarbene the intermediate was a C[subscript n]₊₁ chloroalkylorganoborane. Oxidation of this intermediate yielded an homologous acid (33%) and the usual alcohol (66%)....

  • Steroid dialkylcarbene reactions

    Creator:
    Dixon, Dale David
    Abstract:
    Steroid carbenes have been investigated as synthetic intermediates. Basic decomposition of 4-en-3-one tosylhydrazones (and other A-ring systems) gives varying amounts of 2, 4-dienes, and solvent derived products with diglyme, heptane, tetrachloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, benzene and cyclohexene. A method for separating complex product mixtures was developed and a study of the...

  • Conformation and reactivity studies of some bicyclo(3.3.1) nonane derivatives

    Creator:
    Sturmer, David Michael
    Abstract:
    New syntheses for 2-bicyclo(3.3.1)nonanone and 7-bicyclo-(3.3.1)nonen-2-one were developed. The saturated ketone was prepared from phenol and acrylonitrile via a novel intramolecular S[subscript N]2 cyclization process. A Friedel-Crafts cyclization of 3-(3-cyclohexenyl)propanoyl chloride permitted synthesis of the unsaturated ketone from 4-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde. The formation of the bicyclo(3.3.1)nonane rather than a bicyclo(3.2.2)nonane skeleton...

  • The synthesis and chemistry of strained bicyclic systems

    Creator:
    Scerbo, Louis
    Abstract:
    A facile route to bicyclo(2.1.1)hexanes was developed involving the intramolecular photocyclization of 1, 5-hexadien-3-one to bicyclo(2.1.1)hexan-2-one. A study of the chemistry of bicyclo-(2.1.1)hexan-2-one was undertaken. Deuterium exchange and borohydride reduction demonstrated the strain present in the ketone. Further evidence was obtained from the failure to introduce substituents alpha to the...

  • Steroid-dihalocarbene reactions

    Creator:
    Damewood, John Roderick
    Abstract:
    Dihalocarbenes have been generated by thermal decomposition of sodium trichloroacetate and tribromomethylphenylmercury, and give mono dihalocyclopropyl adducts with steroid dienes. Such compounds offer an easy starting point for the synthesis of unusual derivatives of potential biological interest. Under the same conditions, however, addition to non-conjugated double bonds does not take...

  • Some synthetic efforts in small ring chemistry

    Creator:
    Lam, Luke Kwok Tung
    Abstract:
    Cyclopropylcyclobutene was prepared via the intermediate dicyclopropylcarbinyl carbene which was generated by the thermal decomposition of the sodium salt of dicyclopropylketone p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone. The successive thermal isomerization of cyclopropylcyclobutene to 2-cyclopropyl-1, 3-butadiene and to vinylcyclopentene was studied. Kinetic data were obtained for the cyclopropylcyclobutene to 2-cyclopropyl-1, 3-butadiene isomerization in the gas...

    Abstract:
    Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Qams, are an important class of chemicals which present interesting challenges to analysts. This thesis reports results of investigations on uses of ion-pairing techniques for separations and detection of Qams. Special apparatus for post-column solvent extraction of liquid chromatographic eluates was developed as part of this work....

  • Steroid organoborane reactions

    Creator:
    Byall, Elliott Bruce
    Abstract:
    Steroid organoboranes have been found to be useful synthetic intermediates. Attempted pyrolyses, based on simple trialkylborane cyclizations, have not yielded C-19 or C-18 functionalized steroids, but have produced isomerized systems not otherwise available. Thus, hydroboration of cholesterol followed by pyrolysis at 215° gives 31% of 2-cholestene-6α-ol and 49% of a...
