Amide Activation: an Emerging Tool for Chemoselective Synthesis Featuring work from the research group of Professor As featured in: Nuno Maulide, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria Amide activation: an emerging tool for chemoselective synthesis Let them stand out of the crowd – Amide activation enables the chemoselective modification of a large variety of molecules while leaving many other functional groups untouched, making it attractive for the synthesis of sophisticated targets. This issue features a review on this emerging field and its application in total synthesis. See Nuno Maulide et al., Chem. Soc.

This transformation has not previously been done catalytically and has not been done in practical manner with stepwise or stoichiometric processes. Building on the previous work of the Lambert lab on the metathesis of cyclopropene and an aldehyde using a hydrazine catalyst, this work discusses efforts to expand to the less stained norbornene. Computational and experimental studies on the catalytic cycle are discussed, including detailed experimental work on how various factors affect the difficult cycloreversion step. The second portion of this thesis details the use of chiral cyclopropenimine bases as catalysts for asymmetric Michael reactions. The Lambert lab has previously developed chiral cyclopropenimine bases for glycine imine nucleophiles. The scope of these catalysts was expanded to include glycine imine derivatives in which the nitrogen atom was replaced with a carbon atom, and to include imines derived from other amino acids. i Table of Contents List of Abbreviations…………………………………………………………………………..iv Part I: Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………… 1 Chapter 1 – Metathesis Reactions of Double Bonds………………………………………….. 1 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………. 1 Olefin Metathesis………………………………………………………………………… 2 Wittig Reaction…………………………………………………………………………... 6 Tebbe Olefination………………………………………………………………………... 9 Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………….

  • Modern Organic Synthesis an Introduction
    Modern Organic Synthesis an Introduction G. S. Zweifel M. H. Nantz W.H. Freeman and Company Chapter 1 Synthetic Design • What is an ideal or viable synthesis, and how does one approach a synthetic project? • The overriding concern in a synthesis is the yield, including the inherent concepts of simplicity (fewest steps) and selectivity (chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, diastereoselectivity, and enantioselectivity). • This chapter outlines strategies for the synthesis of target molecules based on retrosynthetic analysis. 1 1.1 Retrosynthetic Analysis Basic Concept The symbol signifies a reverse synthetic step and is called atransform. The main transforms are disconnections, or cleavage of C-C bonds, and functional group interconversions (FGI) Retrosynthetic analysis involves the disassembly of a TM into available starting materials by sequential disconnections and functional group interconversions(FGI). Synthons are fragments resulting from disconnection of carbon-carbon bonds of the TM. The actual substrates used for the forward synthesis are the synthetic equivalents (SE). Synthetic design involves two distinct steps (1) Retrosynthetic analysis (2) Subsequent translation of the analysis into a “forward direction” synthesis. Chemical bonds can be cleaved heterolytically, homolytically, or through concerted transform. 2 Donor and Acceptor Synthons Acceptor synthon Æ carbocation (electrophilic) Donor synthon Æ carbanion (nucleophilic) Table 1.1 Common Acceptor Synthon Synthetic equivalents Common Acceptor Synthon Synthetic equivalents 3 Table 1.2 Common Donor Synthons Common Donor Synthon Synthetic equivalents Retrosynthetic Analysis A Synthesis A 4 Retrosynthetic Analysis B Synthesis B Alternating Polarity Disconnections The presence of a heteroatom in a molecule imparts a pattern of electrophilicity and nucleophilicity to the atom of the molecule. The concept of alternating polarities or latent polarities (imaginary chargies) often enables one to identify the best positions to make a disconnection within a complex molecule.

  • Amide, and Paratoluenesulfonamide on the Amide of Silver,On the Imides
    68 CHEMISTRY: E. C. FRANKLIN METALLIC SALTS OF AMMONO ACIDS By Edward C. Franklin DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY, STANFORD UNIVERSITY Presented to the Academy, January 9. 1915 The Action of Liquid-Ammonia Solutions of Ammono Acids on Metallic Amides, Imides, and Nitrides. The acid amides and imides, and the metallic derivatives of the acid amides and imides are the acds, bases, and salts respectively of an ammonia system of acids, bases, and salts.1 Guided by the relationships implied in the above statement Franklin and Stafford were able to prepare potassium derivatives of a considerable number of acid amides by the action of potassium amide on certain acid amides in solution in liquid ammonia. That is to say, an ammono base, potassium amide, was found to react with ammono acids in liquid ammonia to form ammono salts just as the aquo base, potassium hydrox- ide, acts upon aquo acids in water solution to form aquo salts. Choos- ing, for example, benzamide and benzoic acid as representative acids of the two systems, the analogous reactions taking place respectively in liquid ammonia and water are represented by the equations: CH6CONH2+KNH2 = C6H5CONHK + NHs. CseHCONH2 + 2KNH2 = CIHsCONK2 + 2NH3. CH6tCOOH + KOH = CIH6COOK + H2O. The ammono acid, since it is dibasic, reacts with either one or two molecules of potassium amide to form an acid and a neutral salt. Having thus demonstrated the possibility of preparing ammono salts of potassium by the interaction of potassium amide and acid amides in liquid ammonia solution, it was further found that ammono salts of the heavy metals may be prepared by the action of liquid ammonia solutions of ammono acids on insoluble metallic amides, imides, and nitrides-that is, by reactions which are analogous to the formation of aquo salts in water by the action of potassium hydroxide on insoluble metallic hydroxides and oxides.

Yohannan* and Arthur Berrier U.S. Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration Special Testing and Research Laboratory 22624 Dulles Summit Court Dulles, VA 20166 [email: mary.a.yohannan -at- usdoj.gov] ABSTRACT: The formation of imine by-products from phenethylamines, amphetamines, and tryptamines upon an acetone extraction is presented. These imine by-products were characterized using GC/MSD and exhibited preferential cleavage at the α-carbon of the alkyl chain. Further characterization of the imine by-products of phenethylamine and tryptamine was done using IR and NMR. KEYWORDS: phenethylamine, tryptamine, imine, acetone, schiff base, drug chemistry, forensic chemistry In most forensic laboratories, the solvents used to extract at the α-carbon on the alkyl chain. In addition to GC/MS, the drugs are chosen based upon their solubility properties and their imines formed from phenethylamine base and tryptamine base ability to not interact with the drug. In fact, there are very few were characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy publications where a solvent used to extract a drug reacts with (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. the drug and forms by-products [1-3].
