  • Mechanistic studies on Re(V) mediated C-O bond transformations

    Creator:
    Zhuravlev, Fedor
    Abstract:
    In situ, reduction of Cp*ReO₃ by PPh₃ to form (Cp*ReO)₂(μ-O)₂ allows catalytic deoxygenation of epoxides, however, conproportionation between Reⱽ and Reⱽᴵᴵ species to form clusters of ((Cp*Re)₃(μ-O)₆}²⁺(ReO₄⁻)2 and new compound {(Cp*Re)₃(μ²-O)₃(μ³-O⁾³ReO₃}⁺(ReO₄⁻) leads to removal of rhenium from the catalytic cycle and loss of activity, The epoxide deoxygenation mediated by (Cp*ReO)₂(μ-O)₂...

  • Rhenium-catalyzed oxygen-atom transfer reactions : mechanism and applications

    Creator:
    Brown, Eric C.
    Abstract:
    In situ reduction of hydrido-tris-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borato(trioxo) rhenium(V) with triphenylphosphine or triethylphosphite leads to a reactive rhenium(V) species that catalytically deoxygenates epoxides at 75-105°C. The reaction is stereospecific, except for trans- and cis-butene oxide which formed minor amounts of the opposite isomer. A variety of different functional groups were tolerated and even...

  • Active site studies and design of ligands for affinity column separation of 2,5-dihydroxyacetanilide epoxidase (DHAE) I and II

    Creator:
    Allen, Scott E.
    Abstract:
    A series of compounds, 7-8 and 20-25, were tested as competitive inhibitors of 2,5-dihydroxyacetanilide epoxidase I (DHAE I) and DHAE II. A Hammett plot was constructed for each enzyme to determine the effect of electron density on inhibition. DHAE I gave a linear, highly correlated plot (r²=0.91) that signifies the...

  • Studies toward the total synthesis of alkaloids : nagelamide A and D, agelastatin D, dragmacidin A-C, salacin and almazoles

    Creator:
    Tonsiengsom, Sorasaree
    Abstract:
    Studies toward the total syntheses of highly potent cytotoxic alkaloids including the bromopyrrole alkaloids and indole alkaloids were conducted and are described. Studies carried out in the course of this dissertation consist of five total syntheses of natural products that include bromopyrrole alkaloids nagelamide A, D and agelastatin D as...

  • Studies on nitrogen containing secondary metabolites from terrestrial and marine origin

    Creator:
    Barrios Sosa, Ana Carolina
    Abstract:
    PART I. A deuterium exchange analysis of 2,5-dihydroxyacetanilide (5) in the absence and presence of DHAE II was performed to test the nucleophilicity of the substrate in the absence and presence of catalyst. In addition, inhibition studies using 1,4-dihydroxybenzene were performed to determine the role that the N-acetyl side chain...
