Synthetic chemists have thus taken advantage of various pyrroline intermediates in order to achieve target molecules. This dissertation will describe a logical approach to the syntheses of tropane alkaloid analogues and polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines. The latter poises an interesting model for developing chiral auxiliaries for enantioselective reactions. Chapter I of this work provides a brief overview into the pyrrolidine alkaloids and explains the significance of various pyrroline intermediates. The 3- pyrroline system is appealing because the placement of the π-bond allows for further functionilzation to a meso pyrrolidine diol, which will be useful in catalysis later. Chapter II then describes the progression of organocatalysis with a focus on carbon-carbon bonding forming reactions with allylsilanes and carbonyl reductions with boranes. The former reaction is a modification of the Hosomi- Sakurai reaction and utilizes the alkaloids derived in chapter I to make silacycles, where coordination of the electrophile causes a conformational change to allow selective allylation to occur. The latter reaction also utilizes the previous iii alkaloids to generate the corresponding boracyle to transfer a hydride towards electrophiles. Chapter III highlights the attempts of utilizting amino acid derived 3- pyrroline intermediates towards the syntheses of several natural product analogues. A foundation was laid for these target molecules, which would then be further investigated for biological activity and potentially serve as useful chiral auxiliaries in asymmetric synthesis. iv DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my family, as you all are the most important people in my life. My parents, Stanley and Gail Jackson, have sacrificed everything to allow me to grow into the man I am today. I could not thank you both more than anything in the world and I will do my best to be as good of a parent to my children. My siblings, Heather, Meredith, Claudia, and David, you all were always there as role models in helping me interpret what is right from wrong. My in-laws, James and Renee Jones, you have been very supportive and an inspiration to me during my graduate career. I cannot thank you enough for the opportunities you have provided for my continued success. My brothers that have stuck with me for eight long years through college, may we continue an everlasting bond that will never break. Our pillars wiil continue to define my character and everything that I embody. My children, Daylen and Ariel, have made me develop an unbelievable level of efficiency. I would never sacrifice our time and I love you both more than anything. You are my motivation. Last but not least, my wife Lindsey, I could write a book about how much I love you and what you mean to me. You have helped keep me on track, been a perfect mother to our children, and set aside your career so that I could v accomplish my dream. Your smile is as bright as a million suns and I thank you for pole vaulting into my life! vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge Dr. Taschner first and foremost for being an outstanding mentor over the course of my graduate career. His guidance has enabled me to gain a whole new appreciation of all areas chemistry through analyzing problems from multiple perspectives. Dr. Taschner was faced with the option of retiring, yet, chose to stay for another five years to continue his passion of teaching to mentor one last student. He was always there when I needed him and always had an answer to help calm me down when I was unsure of myself. In his role as interim department chair, he provided the opportunity to begin teaching laboratory sections as the instructor of record to provide the necessary experience for further teaching opportunities. I will truly never forget what he has done for my family and I wish him the best in his new journey ahead. I would also like to acknowledge my committee members, Dr. Claire Tessier, Dr. Wiley Youngs, Dr. David Modarelli, and Dr. Bi-min Zhang Newby for their assistance in the prepartion of this dissertation. I would like to thank the University of Akron Chemistry department faculty and staff for their guidance. A special thanks to the NMR staff for helping me gain a better understanding of the vii various instrumentation. Lastly, I would like to thank the front office administration, Nancy and Jean, for their help and support over the years. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF TABLES ................................................................................................. xi LIST OF FIGURES .............................................................................................. xii LIST OF SCHEMES ........................................................................................... xiv TABLE OF ABBREVIATIONS ...........................................................................xviii CHAPTER I.

Thus, the present paper describes the formation and hydrolysis, through Sommelet reaction, of some hexamethylenetetramine salts from which some new heterocyclic aldehydes resulted. Rezumat Au fost sintetizaţi şi caracterizaţi prin metode spectrale noi derivaţi 2-R-5- formil-1,3,4-tiadiazolici Astfel, lucrarea prezintă sinteza şi hidroliza, prin intermediul reacţiei Sommelet, a unor săruri de urotropiniu din care s-au obţinut noi aldehide heterociclice. Keywords: 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, hexamethylenetetramine salts, Sommelet reaction Introduction In recent years 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives have received significant attention and have been increasingly investigated due to their diverse range of biological properties. They exhibit, for example, antimicrobial [5, 6, 7, 11], antimycobacterial [14], anticancer [2, 3, 13], antiinflammatory [9], carbonic anhydrase inhibiting effect [1, 15], antianxiety, antidepressant [4], antioxidant properties [12]. 1,3,4- Thiadiazoles exhibit diverse biological activities, possibly due to the presence of =N–C–S moiety [8]. The Sommelet reaction allows the synthesis of aldehydes from benzylhalides by the reaction with hexamethylenetetramine HMTA (urotropine) and subsequent acidic hydrolysis of the resulting quaternary ammonium salt.

    1 ALIPHATIC NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION Jade D. Nelson 1.1 INTRODUCTION Nucleophilic substitution reactions at an aliphatic center are among the most fundamental transformations in classical synthetic organic chemistry, and provide the practicing chemist with proven tools for simple functional group interconversion as well as complex target- oriented synthesis. Conventional SN2 displacement reactions involving simple nucleophiles and electrophiles are well-studied transformations, are among the first concepts learned by chemistry students and provide a launching pad for more complex subject matter such as stereochemistry and physical organic chemistry. A high level survey of the chemical literature provides an overwhelming mass of information regarding aliphatic nucleophilic substitution reactions. This chapter attempts to highlight those methods that stand out from the others in terms of scope, practicality, and scalability. 1.2 OXYGEN NUCLEOPHILES 1.2.1 Reactions with Water 1.2.1.1 HydrolysisCOPYRIGHTED of Alkyl Halides The reaction MATERIAL of water with an alkyl halide to form the corresponding alcohol is rarely utilized in target-oriented organic synthesis. Instead, conversion of alcohols to their corresponding halides is more common since methods for the synthesis of halides are less abundant. Nonetheless, alkyl halide hydrolysis can provide simple, efficient access to primary alcohols under certain circumstances. Namely, the hydrolysis of activated benzylic or allylic halides is a facile reaction, and following benzylic or allylic halogenation, provides a simple approach to the synthesis of this Practical Synthetic Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Principles, and Techniques, First Edition.
