Alcohol Oxidation
Alcohol oxidation Alcohol oxidation is an important organic reaction. Primary alcohols (R-CH2-OH) can be oxidized either Mechanism of oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids via aldehydes and The indirect oxidation of aldehyde hydrates primary alcohols to carboxylic acids normally proceeds via the corresponding aldehyde, which is transformed via an aldehyde hydrate (R- CH(OH)2) by reaction with water. The oxidation of a primary alcohol at the aldehyde level is possible by performing the reaction in absence of water, so that no aldehyde hydrate can be formed. Contents Oxidation to aldehydes Oxidation to ketones Oxidation to carboxylic acids Diol oxidation References Oxidation to aldehydes Oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes is partial oxidation; aldehydes are further oxidized to carboxylic acids. Conditions required for making aldehydes are heat and distillation. In aldehyde formation, the temperature of the reaction should be kept above the boiling point of the aldehyde and below the boiling point of the alcohol. Reagents useful for the transformation of primary alcohols to aldehydes are normally also suitable for the oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones. These include: Oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones Chromium-based reagents, such as Collins reagent (CrO3·Py2), PDC or PCC. Sulfonium species known as "activated DMSO" which can result from reaction of DMSO with electrophiles, such as oxalyl chloride (Swern oxidation), a carbodiimide (Pfitzner-Moffatt oxidation) or the complex SO3·Py (Parikh-Doering oxidation). Hypervalent iodine compounds, such as Dess-Martin periodinane or 2-Iodoxybenzoic acid. Catalytic TPAP in presence of excess of NMO (Ley oxidation). Catalytic TEMPO in presence of excess bleach (NaOCl) (Oxoammonium-catalyzed oxidation). -
New Reactions of Cyclic Oxygen, Nitrogen and Sulfur Acetal Derivatives
New Reactions of Cyclic Oxygen, Nitrogen and Sulfur Acetal Derivatives Samuel Edward Mann Supervisor Dr. Tom Sheppard A thesis submitted to University College London in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Declaration I, Samuel Edward Mann confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ………………………… i Abstract Abstract This thesis describes the development of new reactions of cyclic oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur acetal derivatives and their applications in a diverse range of synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry. Detailed herein are advances in three main areas of acetal chemistry, namely: studies towards a new methodology for the synthesis of medium ring heterocycles; the use of thioacetals as directing groups for the palladium-mediated oxidation of olefins; and multi-component reactions for the synthesis of drug-like heterocyclic compounds. A brief overview of the chemistry of cyclic acetal derivatives is given in the first chapter, followed by a chapter on each of the three areas investigated. Relevant introductory literature is reviewed at the beginning of each chapter. Firstly, the ring expansion chemistry of unsaturated cyclic oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur acetal derivatives was explored for the development of a new methodology for the synthesis of medium ring heterocycles. This methodology has thus far proved unsuccessful in the synthesis of medium rings, although several interesting and unusual transformations were observed, such as the unexpected formation of an intriguing bicyclic enaminium salt. The use of thioacetals as directing groups for the palladium-mediated oxidation of terminal olefins was also explored, leading to the evolution of a new methodology for the catalytic, regioselective formation of either vinyl or allylic acetates. -

Manipulating Selectivity and Reactivity in Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidation Reactions Thesis by Zachary Kimble Wickens In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California 2015 (Defended June 2nd, 2015) © 2015 Zachary Kimble Wickens All Rights Reserved 1 Dedicated to my parents for never pushing me to become a scientist 2 Acknowledgments The work I have the pleasure of sharing with you in this thesis would have been completely impossible without the help (both emotional and intellectual) of a tremendously large number of people. First, I want to thank my advisor, Bob Grubbs. I truly could not have asked for a more incredible thesis advisor. Since the beginning of my time at Caltech, you have subtly guided me towards the water but never forced me to drink. You have given me independence in choosing which projects to pursue and the directions these projects go, but always provided suggestions and hints along the way that have kept me on track. I know you will continue to provide great advice and strong support even long after I've left Caltech. Thanks for being my invisible safety net over the last five years. I would have never even considered pursuing a Ph.D in chemistry in the first place if it weren't for the fantastic chemistry faculty at Macalester College. Rebecca Hoye, Ronald Brisbois, Paul Fischer, Keith Kuwata, Thomas Varberg and Katherine Splan, you were all tremendously influential in my life. You taught me how to see the exciting puzzles that are scattered throughout the field of chemistry. -
Novel Co-Mo/MCM-41 Catalysts for Deep Hydrodesulfurization of Jet Fuel
Elucidating the mechanism of heterogeneous Wacker oxidation over response from Pd speciation (Figure 1) demonstrating for the first time that oxygen is activated Pd-Cu-exchanged zeolite Y via transient multi-edge XAS on copper in the heterogeneous system, which is similar to the homogeneous system. Increasing the O partial pressure led to a quick reoxidation of Cu(I) with a concomitant rapid 2 increase in CO formation while that of acetaldehyde proceeded more slowly. These results Jerick Imbao1,2, Jeroen van Bokhoven1,2*, Adam Clark1 and Maarten Nachtegaal1* 2 indicate that copper has more than one role as it does not only act as a co-catalyst for Pd(0) 1Paul Scherrer Institute, Villigen PSI (Switzerland) regeneration, but is also involved in the formation of CO byproduct.

Alcohol Oxidations – Beyond Labz Virtual Chemlab Activity
Alcohol Oxidations – Beyond Labz Virtual ChemLab Activity Purpose: In this virtual experiment, you will be performing two oxidation reactions of benzyl alcohol, a primary alcohol. Primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or carboxylic acids, depending on the reagents used. You will be setting up oxidation reactions using chromic acid (H2CrO4) and pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC), and comparing the products of the two reactions. You will be monitoring the reactions using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and analyzing IR and NMR spectra of the reactants and products. O further O OH oxidation oxidation H OH benzyl alcohol benzaldehyde benzoic acid Figure 1. Oxidation reactions of benzyl alcohol Introduction: Primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or carboxylic acids, depending on the reagents used. For many years, chromium reagents were commonly used for alcohol oxidations. Because of the toxicity of chromium-based reagents, many safer oxidizing agents have been developed and are more commonly used. As this lab is virtual, we can safely explore the reactivity trends for the older, chromium-based reagents. The two reaction conditions we will be exploring in this virtual experiment are: • Jones oxidation: This reaction uses chromic acid (H2CrO4) as the oxidizing agent. Chromic acid can be formed by dissolving sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7) or chromium trioxide (CrO3) in aqueous sulfuric acid (H2SO4). • PCC oxidation: This reaction uses pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in an anhydrous solvent, typically dichloromethane (CH2Cl2). The virtual lab does not give us CH2Cl2 as an option for a solvent, so we will substitute diethyl ether (CH3CH2OCH2CH3, or Et2O). Once your two virtual experiments are complete, you will decide which set of conditions oxidizes primary alcohols to aldehydes, and which oxidizes primary alcohols to carboxylic acids. -

Transition Metal Catalysed Reactions for the Synthesis of Heteroaromatic Compounds
Transition Metal Catalysed Reactions for the Synthesis of Heteroaromatic Compounds Stephen Christopher Pelly A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg In fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2007 DECLARATION I declare that the work presented in this thesis was carried out exclusively by myself under the supervision of Professor C.B. de Koning. It is being submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other University. _________________ 27th day of January, 2007 i ABSTRACT The carbazole and 2-isopropenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran structures are widely found in many naturally occurring compounds. For example, the naturally occurring anti-cancer compound, rebeccamycin, contains an indolocarbazole core. Rotenone, which contains an (R)-2-isopropenyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran moiety, is widely used today as an effective naturally occurring pesticide. In the carbazole section of this thesis, the synthesis of the naturally occurring furanocarbazole, furostifoline is described. As key steps in this sequence, a Suzuki coupling reaction is utilised to couple appropriately functionalised indole and furan moieties. After further functional group transformations, a metathesis reaction is employed to construct the carbazole system, leading to furostifoline. The synthesis of the unnatural thio-analogue of furostifoline was similarly conducted and is described. Finally, in a somewhat different approach, the synthesis of the indolocarbazole core is described, utilising a Madelung approach initially to form the bis-indole system, 2,2’-biindolyl. After several functional group transformations, a metathesis reaction was once again successfully employed to form the carbazole system, thereby synthesising di(tert-butyl) indolo[2,3-a]carbazole-11,12-dicarboxylate.
