  • Development of organocatalyzed, intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition and application towards alkaloid synthesis

    Creator:
    Carlson, Erik
    Abstract:
    Effective methods for the enantiopure formation of substituted piperidine rings are significantly important due to their presence in alkaloid products. A valuable method to form these ring systems would be via an intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition from the corresponding enone or enal. Described herein is a methodolgy that has been...

  • 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...

  • Synthesis and structure of new transition metal containing bismuth oxides

    Creator:
    Xun, Xiumei
    Abstract:
    Exploratory synthesis is the discovery of new compounds with interesting structures and properties. The subject of this thesis is exploratory synthesis of bismuth containing oxides. Bismuth containing oxides have many interesting properties, which are ionic conductivity, ferromagnetism, superconductivity, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity and catalytic. These properties are closely related to their specific...

  • Graphite intercalation compounds containing tetra-n-alkylammonium cations

    Creator:
    Sirisaksoontorn, Weekit
    Abstract:
    Novel donor-type graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) containing tetra-n-alkylammonium (TAA) cations have been synthesized by using both ion-exchange and electrochemical methods. Structural and compositional data of the resulting TAA-GICs are investigated by using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), one-dimensional electron density calculations, thermogravimetric and elemental analyses, and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). A...

  • 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...

  • Catalytic desymmetrization of D₂d̳-symmertic proprochiral tetrasubstituted biphenyl compounds: a novel approach to the synthesis of axially chiral C₂-symmetric molecules

    Creator:
    Gunderson, Jeremey Tyson
    Abstract:
    Many D2d-symmetric 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls are readily prepared via net oxidative dimerization of appropriate 1,3-disubstituted benzenes. Conversion of such proprochiral compounds to useful C2-symmetric chiral biphenyls requires formal replacement of two substituents on opposing aryl ring units with alternate groups. This under exploited desymmetrization tactic has been demonstrated for the generation...

  • Synthesis of Intercalation Compounds and Nanocomposites of Inorganic Layered Hosts

    Creator:
    Liyanage, Medagama Liyanage Amila Udayanga
    Abstract:
    Novel synthetic strategies are developed to prepare new intercalation compounds and nanocomposites with several layered hosts (NiPS₃, Na-montmorillonite, MoS₂ and MoO₃). In these products, alkali metals are ionic intercalates and linear polymers, dendrimers or amines act as co-intercalates. In addition to new synthetic approaches, new structures are identified and characterized....

    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...

    Abstract:
    Amphidinolide B₁ is one of the most potent cytotoxic compounds in the amphidinolide family. Its bioactivity and intriguing structure has drawn attention from synthetic chemists. Although numerous synthetic efforts toward the total synthesis of amphidinolide B₁ have been published, it still remains an unconquered synthetic target. One of the unique...

  • 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...
