An Abstract of Applications of Ugi Four Component Cascade Coupling Reactions for the Synthesis of Bioactive Diverse Heterocyclic Molecules and Natural Products by Amarendar Reddy Maddirala Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Chemistry The University of Toledo May, 2016 Isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (IBMRs) have great advantages towards the assembly of complex molecules and are concise for the synthesis of higher ordered core structural motifs accomplished in a single synthetic transformation. Complexity generating reactions have become quite useful in assembling molecules containing a variety of stereocenters in an economical and time-saving manner. Particularly, the Ugi four component reaction sequence, followed by a variety of post condensation or transformational modifications allow the synthetic chemist to synthesize many biologically active molecules including those with diverse heterocyclic scaffolds and natural products. Of those types of molecules, 3-substituted-2-indolinone scaffolds have many important functions in biological systems including a wide-range of beneficial activities. From this perspective, the syntheses of 3-substituted-2-indolinones are an interesting target for an organic synthetic chemist to study the applications in medicinal chemistry. Our approach demands the efficient synthesis of 3-substituted-2-indolinones through microwave irradiation and selective intramolecular transamidation of the Ugi four component condensation derivative(s). Additionally, investigation for the ability of iii symmetrical versus unsymmetrical amine component(s) and carboxylic component(s) to eliminate the formation of rotameric mixtures obtained during the practice, simplifies NMR analysis and allows for further molecular design amplification. Likewise, the synthesis of spiro-[indoline-3,2'-pyrrolidine]-2,5'-diones via post-Ugi- 4CR/transamidation/cyclization sequential process has been achieved in three steps in a one-pot reaction using methyl isocyanide as a convertible isocyanide. Variation in the carboxylic acid moiety allows for the generation of new quaternary carbon centers under basic reaction conditions and provides the molecular diversity in a small library of spirocyclic oxindole -lactams. Finally, bioactive natural products, xenortides A-D and their stereoisomers, were synthesized in a one-pot, two-step reaction using the methodology learned from the Ugi four component reaction. iv Acknowledgements First of all I would like to express gratefulness to my research advisor Dr. Peter R.

  • Interferometric Observations of Large Biologically Interesting Interstellar and Cometary Molecules
    SPECIAL FEATURE: PERSPECTIVE Interferometric observations of large biologically interesting interstellar and cometary molecules Lewis E. Snyder* Department of Astronomy, University of Illinois, 1002 West Green Street, Urbana, IL 61801 Edited by William Klemperer, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, and approved May 26, 2006 (received for review March 3, 2006) Interferometric observations of high-mass regions in interstellar molecular clouds have revealed hot molecular cores that have sub- stantial column densities of large, partly hydrogen-saturated molecules. Many of these molecules are of interest to biology and thus are labeled ‘‘biomolecules.’’ Because the clouds containing these molecules provide the material for star formation, they may provide insight into presolar nebular chemistry, and the biomolecules may provide information about the potential of the associated inter- stellar chemistry for seeding newly formed planets with prebiotic organic chemistry. In this overview, events are outlined that led to the current interferometric array observations. Clues that connect this interstellar hot core chemistry to the solar system can be found in the cometary detection of methyl formate and the interferometric maps of cometary methanol. Major obstacles to under- standing hot core chemistry remain because chemical models are not well developed and interferometric observations have not been very sensitive. Differentiation in the molecular isomers glycolaldehdye, methyl formate, and acetic acid has been observed, but not explained. The extended source structure for certain sugars, aldehydes, and alcohols may require nonthermal formation mechanisms such as shock heating of grains. Major advances in understanding the formation chemistry of hot core species can come from obser- vations with the next generation of sensitive, high-resolution arrays.

  • Ugi Four-Component Reaction (U-4CR) Under Green Conditions Designed for Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Laboratories
    World Journal of Chemical Education, 2017, Vol. 5, No. 5, 153-157 Available online at http://pubs.sciepub.com/wjce/5/5/2 ©Science and Education Publishing DOI:10.12691/wjce-5-5-2 Ugi Four-component Reaction (U-4CR) Under Green Conditions Designed for Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Laboratories Mariana Ingold, Lucia Colella, Rosina Dapueto, Gloria. V. López*, Williams Porcal* Department of Organic Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, University of the Republic, Montevideo, Uruguay *Corresponding author Abstract Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are a green strategy in which a collection of molecules with a great diversity are generated with a minimum of synthetic effort, time and by-products formation. The Ugi Multi-component reaction is a chemical reaction in which an aldehyde, an amine, a carboxylic acid and an isocyanide react to form a α-bisamide. In this work, we use the Ugi reaction, as an example of MCRs, to approach organic chemistry undergraduate students to sustainable reactions. This reaction can be carried out under on-water or solvent-free conditions, both at room temperature as in combination with microwave irradiation or ultrasound. The advantages and limitations of the usage of Ugi reaction, under these conditions, in an organic chemistry laboratory course are discussed. In this context, we used different parameters to calculate how environmentally friendly the assayed conditions are. The Chemical Manufacturing Methods for the 21st Century Pharmaceutical Industries (CHEM21 project) were used with this objective. The present work could contribute to the teaching of ecofriendly synthetic strategies, demonstrating the scientific and academic benefits of green chemistry.

Livermore, California 94550 (Received: January 15, 1986; In Final Form: April 8, 1986) The isomerization of methyl isocyanide (CH3NC) to acetonitrile (CH3CN) was studied by excitation of the 5uC-” (726.6 nm) and 6vC-H (621.4 nm) overtone states, which lie about 1 and 8 kcal/mol, respectively, above the isomerization barrier. Product yields were measured as a function of pressure and collision partner. A Stern-Volmer plot (yield-’ vs. pressure) shows that (1) deactivation by collision with pure CH3NCis more rapid than with C3H6,sF6, or Ar, (2) the collisional deactivation efficiencies decrease in going from C3H6to SF6 to Ar, and (3) the single-collisiondeactivation approximation (strong collider approximation) fails for both the 6vC+, and 5vCmHdata.

  • An Artificial Intelligence That Discovers Unpredictable Chemical Reactions Dario Caramelli, Jarosław M
    An Artificial Intelligence that Discovers Unpredictable Chemical Reactions Dario Caramelli, Jarosław M. Granda, Dario Cambié, S. Hessam M. Mehr, Alon Henson and Leroy Cronin* School of Chemistry, the University of Glasgow, University Avenue, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK. *Correspondence to: [email protected]. The robot-driven detection of novel organic chemical reactions1-2 is difficult as there is no approach that guarantees discovery on demand3. Traditional approaches to find new chemical reactions often rely on human error, whilst theoretical4,5 and artificial intelligence6-8 approaches promise new targets, but these must be identified computationally9,10. However, it is very hard to turn these ideas into reality in a chemistry laboratory, and the targets are not often novel. Herein, we present an artificial intelligence, built to autonomously explore chemical reactions in the laboratory using deep learning11. The reactions are performed automatically, analysed online, and the data is processed using a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on a small reaction dataset to assess the reactivity of reaction mixtures12. The network can be used to predict the reactivity of an unknown dataset, meaning that the system is able to abstract the reactivity assignment regardless the identity of the starting materials. The system was set up with 15 inputs that were combined in 1018 reactions, the analysis of which lead to the discovery of a ‘multi-step, single-substrate’ cascade reaction and a new mode of reactivity for methylene isocyanides. p-Toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) in presence of an activator reacts consuming six equivalents of itself to yield a trimeric product in high (unoptimized) yield (47%) with formation of five new C-C bonds involving sp-sp2 and sp- sp3 carbon centres.
