  • The use of the Diels-Alder reaction in asymmetric synthesis

    Creator:
    Dei Rossi, Dale Raymond
    Abstract:
    The Diels-Alder reaction represents a promising tool for use in asymmetric synthesis. The reaction involves a rigid transition state that facilitates the formation of one diastereomeric transition state and is reversible. This satisfies two necessary criteria for asymmetric synthesis. The Diels-Alder reactions of 1,l-dialkylspiro[2.4]-4,6- heptadienes with maleic anhydride and p-benzoquinone...

  • Carbene chemistry : I. Stereochemical integrity at Cα in ketone tosylhydrazones : II. Hydrogen migration in 2-carbena-6, 6-dimethylnorbornane

    Creator:
    Balyeat, John Robert
    Abstract:
    The tosylhydrazones of exo-3-deuteriocamphor and 2- deuterio-2,4-dimethy1-3-pentanone were treated with Nbromosuccinimide (NBS) and pyruvic acid to regenerate the parent ketones. The ketones from the pyruvic acid cleavage show a significant loss of deuterium. The ketones from the NBS cleavage show no loss of deuterium, indicating that stereochemical integrity at.

  • The photochemistry of some O-(methylcarbamoyl) oximes

    Creator:
    McCarthy, Kermit D.
    Abstract:
    The photochemistry of aldicarb and two related compounds, 0-(methylcarbamoyl) isobutyraldehyde oxime and 0-(methylcarbamoyl) trimethylacetaldehyde oxime was explored under laboratory conditions. Upon irradiation aldicarb decomposed rapidly to methylamine, dimethylamine, tetramethylsuccinonitrile, and 1-methylthio-2, 3-dicyano-2, 3-dimethylbutane. The other two compounds decomposed only after a long period of irradiation. The difference in reactivity was...

  • A study of the chemistry of diisopropyl-, cyclopropylisopropyl-, and dicyclopropylcarbene

    Creator:
    Wuerch, Stephen E.
    Abstract:
    The effect of the conjugation with cyclopropyl rings on the activation parameters for the formation of carbenes from the corresponding diazo compounds was investigated using diisopropylcarbene (46), cyclopropyl-isopropylcarbene (47), and dicyclopropylcarbene (48). Each of these three carbenes was generated by the thermolysis of the parent benzenesulfonylhydrazone potassium salts using DMSO...

    Abstract:
    Photolysis of pentachlorobenzene was carried out in the absence of an electron donor species at 254 nm in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant solution. The results are consistent with the excited triplet undergoing homolytic cleavage of a C-Cl bond in competition with formation of the excimer, in which the radical anion undergoes...

  • Investigations into the mechanism of the photodechlorination of pentachlorobenzene

    Creator:
    Schmidt, Robert Dean
    Abstract:
    Several experiments were undertaken to investigate the mechanism of photodechlorination of pentachlorobenzene. The thermal methoxydechlorination reaction of pentachlorobenzene was studied. In DMSO at 50 °C sodium methoxide reacts smoothly with pentachlorobenzene to give three tetrachloroanisole isomers. A second-order kinetic plot for this reaction is linear to high precision, indicating that...

    Carlson, J. Eric
    Abstract:
    The photohydrodebromination of brominated paracyclophanes was studied to help elucidate the possible mechanistic pathways leading to product for bromoarenes in general. Several brominated [2.2]paracyclophanes were studied to determine the effect of substitution patterns on this reaction. [2.2]Paracyclophanes were chosen for this study in order to investigate possible intramolecular excimer formation...
