  • 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.

  • Atropisomeric 8,8'-biquinolyl derivatives : synthesis, properties and applications

    Creator:
    Milicevic, Selena D.
    Abstract:
    7,7'-Dihydroxy-8,8'-biquinolyl (azaBINOL) was prepared from 7-hydroxyquinoline via N,N-dimethyl O-quinol-7-yl carbamate by directed ortho-metallation followed by FeCl₃-mediated oxidative coupling of the 8-lithioquinoline intermediate. Saponification of the resulting dicarbamate provided crystalline (±)-azaBINOL in 56% overall yield. 6,6'-Bis(dimethylaminocarbonyl)-7,7'-dihydroxy-8,8´-biquinolyl was prepared from the same dicarbamate by a double anionic-Fries rearrangement in 43% yield. 7,7'-Bis(diethylamino-carbonyloxy)-6,6'-diiodo-8,8´-biquinolyl...

  • Chain extension of boronic esters with stereo- and regio-defined lithiated oxiranes

    Creator:
    Alwedi, Embarek
    Abstract:
    The stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (StReCH) of boronic esters with putative lithiooxiranes generated in situ from appropriate precursors via sulfoxide-lithium exchange, tin-lithium exchange, and direct lithiation is described with an emphasis on the first lithiation technique which allows for the regio- and stereo-specific generation of all types of lithiooxirane isomer. Transient...

  • Development of Carbenoid Eliminative Cross-coupling for the Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Trisubstituted Alkenyl Moieties Within Styrenes and 1,3-Dienes

    Creator:
    Tanpure, Subhash D.
    Abstract:
    Traditional approaches for the direct preparation of alkenes are unable to fully control either the stereochemical configuration of the carbon-carbon double bond or else the regiochemistry of the substituents surrounding it. The recently introduced concept of carbenoid eliminative cross-coupling (CEXC) offers a remedy to these deficiencies by providing for a...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Synthesis of novel ambifunctional atropisomeric 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls and investigation of their properties and organocatalytic activity

    Creator:
    Sephton, Mark Alan
    Abstract:
    Ambifunctional axially chiral 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls containing nucleophilic (or basic) functional groups juxtaposed with hydrogen-bond donors were synthesized and their properties studied. Applications for the prepared biaryls as potential organocatalysts for enantioselective carbon-carbon bond forming reactions were examined. Processes investigated included: aldol, Michael, nitroaldol (Henry), and Baylis-Hillman reactions. The novel amidoamine...

    Creator:
    Wu, Zhenhua
    Abstract:
    Three distinct methods to achieve the stereoselective synthesis of carbon-carbon bonds were investigated, encompassing: (i) the formation of axially chiral biaryl molecules by enantioselective Suzuki cross-coupling, (ii) the synthesis of α-phenylalkylboronic esters by enantioselective chain extension, and (iii) the stereospecific synthesis of alkenes by eliminative cross-coupling of enantioenriched sp³-hybridized carbenoids....

    Abstract:
    The synthesis of axially chiral polyfunctional derivatives of 8,8'-biquinolyl was explored and the catalytic action of appropriate derivative types investigated in three separate processes: (1) the silylcyanation of carbonyl groups and imines, (2) alkylation of a glycine Schiff-base via phase transfer-catalysis, and (3) direct amide bond formation from simple amines...
