D. Cheng Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Abraham Joy Dr. George R. Newkome Department Chair Date Dr. Coleen Pugh ii ABSTRACT Previously, 2-bromo-3-hydroxypropionic acid (BrH)1 and glycolic acid (GA) were copolymerized with lactic acid (LA) by acid-catalyzed polyesterification to produce a functional group on the backbone of poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid). However, the molecular weight of the copolymer was less than the PLA homopolymer and when the amount of BrH or GA increased, the molecular weight of copolymer decreased. To compare the relative reactivity, BrH and GA were both end-capped with LA using protection/deprotection methods. Because BrH and GA were flanked by two lactic acid units, the reactivity of the trimer should be similar to that of pure LA. To avoid the hydroxy acid polymerizing by condensation polymerization when the dimers and trimers were synthesized, the alcohol group was protected by reaction with tert-butyldiphenylsilylchloride,2 and the carboxylic acid group was protected as a benzyl ester.3 After coupling the free hydroxy and free carboxylic acid groups of two units the protected one end was de-protected and then reacted with a monoprotected monomer to produce trimer. The trimers will be polymerized to obtain polymers with highly ordered sequence distribution by acid-catalyzed polyesterification. In addition, to determine whether acid-catalyzed reaction can destroy the well-defined sequence, a well-defined sequence polymerization was introduced.4 After this highly ordered sequence polymers were obtained by acid-catalyzed polyesterification, its degree of polymerization was obtained and compared iii with that of the random copolymer of the same composition. The degree of polymerization presents that the relative reactivity of GA and LA are similar. The reason why the molecular weight of highly ordered sequence polymer is less than that of the random one is that the segments of highly ordered sequence polymer are affinitive with each other to force the coil of it flow slowly through the column in GPC to obtain relatively low molecular weight. At the same time, two side deprotected brominated dimers (BrH-LA and LA-BrH) were also synthesized to obtain another brominated, sequence-controlled polymer and their properties will be characterized in the future. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF TABLES ……….………………………………………………………...…..viii LIST OF SCHEMES……….…………………………………………...………………..ix LIST OF FIGURES …………………………………………………………………..…xii CHAPTER I.

Due to the some properties of organosilicon compounds, including increased lipophilicity and thermal stabilization and prodrug for drugs, some silyl ethers of this drug were synthesized and characterized..Increasing of the lipophilic properties of this drug can be very important in the rate of absorption and its effectiveness. Graphic abstract: Keywords: Piroxicam, Silyl ether, Organosilicon, Drug delivery, Lipophilic 1.Introduction: Piroxicam is a painkiller and its main use is to reduce or stop pain. In osteoarthritis, this drug has anti-inflammatory effects. This drug is used to treat many diseases such as headache and toothache, leg pain and piroxicam reduces the production of prostaglandins by controlling cyclooxygenase, thus showing its effectiveness in reducing and eliminating pain. It is also used to relieve joint, bone and muscle pain. It is even used to control gout and menstrual cramps. It binds to a large amount of protein and is metabolized in the liver and then excreted in the urine.

  • Ganic Compounds
    6-1 SECTION 6 NOMENCLATURE AND STRUCTURE OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Many organic compounds have common names which have arisen historically, or have been given to them when the compound has been isolated from a natural product or first synthesised. As there are so many organic compounds chemists have developed rules for naming a compound systematically, so that it structure can be deduced from its name. This section introduces this systematic nomenclature, and the ways the structure of organic compounds can be depicted more simply than by full Lewis structures. The language is based on Latin, Greek and German in addition to English, so a classical education is beneficial for chemists! Greek and Latin prefixes play an important role in nomenclature: Greek Latin ½ hemi semi 1 mono uni 1½ sesqui 2 di bi 3 tri ter 4 tetra quadri 5 penta quinque 6 hexa sexi 7 hepta septi 8 octa octo 9 ennea nona 10 deca deci Organic compounds: Compounds containing the element carbon [e.g. methane, butanol]. (CO, CO2 and carbonates are classified as inorganic.) See page 1-4. Special characteristics of many organic compounds are chains or rings of carbon atoms bonded together, which provides the basis for naming, and the presence of many carbon- hydrogen bonds. The valency of carbon in organic compounds is 4. Hydrocarbons: Compounds containing only the elements C and H. Straight chain hydrocarbons are named according to the number of carbon atoms: CH4, methane; C2H6 or H3C-CH3, ethane; C3H8 or H3C-CH2-CH3, propane; C4H10 or H3C-CH2- CH2-CH3, butane; C5H12 or CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3, pentane; C6H14 or CH3(CH2)4CH3, hexane; C7H16, heptane; C8H18, octane; C9H20, nonane; C10H22, CH3(CH2)8CH3, decane.

  • Aldehyde Cyclocondensation Reaction in Natural Product Synthesis
    Utility of the Catalytic, Asymmetric Acyl Halide- Aldehyde Cyclocondensation Reaction in Natural Product Synthesis by Andrew S. Wasmuth B.Sc., University of Rochester, 2001 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Department of Chemistry in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2006 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Andrew S. Wasmuth It was defended on September 6, 2006 and approved by Scott G. Nelson, Ph.D., Associate Professor Craig S. Wilcox, Ph.D., Professor Peter Wipf, Ph.D., University Professor Billy Day, Ph.D., Associate Professor Dissertation Advisor: Scott G. Nelson, Ph.D., Associate Professor ii Copyright © by Andrew S. Wasmuth 2006 iii Utility of the Catalytic, Asymmetric Acyl Halide-Aldehyde Cyclocondensation Reaction in Natural Product Synthesis Andrew S. Wasmuth, Ph. D. University of Pittsburgh, 2006 Abstract The ability of the catalytic, asymmetric acyl halide-aldehyde cyclocondensation (AAC) reaction to produce stereoenriched β-lactone products has found extensive utility in natural product synthesis. The asymmetric Al(III)-catalyzed AAC-SN2’ ring opening sequence was exploited in synthetic efforts towards the enantioselective total synthesis of the aspidospermane alkaloid (−)- rhazinilam (1). The synthetic sequence features an enantioselective cyclization of a tethered pyrrole moiety onto an optically-active allene to set the quaternary carbon stereocenter while concomitantly forming rhazinilam’s tetrahydroindolizine core. In addition, attempts at forming the requisite biaryl bond via a Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction are also discussed. N O N O R · Et Et N H O 18 CO2H Et (−)-Rhazinilam (1) Recently, it was found that the Cinchona alkaloids quinine and quinidine can catalyze the AAC reaction to produce disubstituted β-lactones in high yield and in essentially enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure form.
