ABSTRACT The click cycloaddition reaction of azides and alkynes affording 1,2,3-triazoles is a transformation widely used to obtain relevant products in chemical biology, medicinal chemistry, materials science and other fields. In this work, a set of Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADESs) as “active” reaction media has been investigated in the copper-catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reactions (CuAAc). The use of these green liquids as green and catalytic solvents has shown to improve the reaction effectiveness, giving excellent yields. The NADESs proved to be “active” in this transformation for the absence of added bases in all the performed reactions and in several cases for their reducing capabilities. The results were rationalized by DFT calculations which demonstrated the involvement of H-bonds between DESs and alkynes as well as a stabilization of copper catalytic intermediates.

Consider its structure to answer the following questions. H H CCCCCCCC H H3C C C C H H C H H 7. What is the molecular formula for this natural product? Answer: C13H10 8. What is the degree of unsaturation for this compound? Answer: We can arrive at the degree of unsaturation for a structure in two ways. Since we know that the degree of unsaturation is the number of rings and/or multiple bonds in a compound, we can simply count them. There are three double bonds (3 degrees) and three triple bonds (six degrees), so the degree of unsaturation is 9. We can verify this by using the molecular formula, C13H10, to calculate a degree of unsaturation. The saturated 13-carbon compound should have the base formula C13H28, so (28 - 10) ÷ 2 = 18 ÷ 2 = 9. 9. Assign E or Z configuration to each of the double bonds in the compound. Answer: H H E CCCCCCCCE H H3C C C C H H C H H 10.

    MIAMI UNIVERSITY-THE GRADUATE SCHOOL CERTIFICATE FOR APPROVING THE DISSERTATION We hereby approve the Dissertation of Lizhi Zhu Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________ Robert E. Minto, Director ________________________________ John R. Grunwell, Reader ________________________________ John F. Sebastian, Reader ________________________________ Ann E. Hagerman, Reader ________________________________ Richard E. Lee, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT INVESTIGATING THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF POLYACETYLENES: SYNTHESIS OF DEUTERATED LINOLEIC ACIDS & MECHANISM STUDIES OF DMDS ADDITION TO 1,4-ENYNES By Lizhi Zhu A wide range of polyacetylenic natural products possess antimicrobial, antitumor, and insecticidal properties. The biosyntheses of these natural products are widely distributed among fungi, algae, marine sponges, and higher plants. As details of the biosyntheses of these intriguing compounds remains scarce, it remains important to develop molecular probes and analytical methods to study polyacetylene secondary metabolism. An effective pathway to prepare selectively deuterium-labeled linoleic acids was developed. By this Pd-catalyzed method, deuterium can be easily introduced into the vinyl position providing deuterolinoleates with very high isotopic purity. This method also provides a general route for the construction of 1,4-diene derivatives with different chain lengths and 1,4-diene locations. Linoleic acid derivatives (12-d, 13-d and 16,16,17,17,18,18,18-d7) were synthesized according to this method. A stereoselective synthesis of methyl (14Z)- and (14E)-dehydrocrepenynate was achieved in five to six steps that employed Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to construct the double bonds between C14 and C15. Compared with earlier methods, the improved syntheses are more convenient (no spinning band distillations or GLC separation of diastereomers were necessary) and higher Z/E ratios were obtained.

    RICE UNIVERSITY PALLADIUM CATALYSED OLIGOMERIZATION OP 1-ALKYNES by Ann Beal Hunt A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis Director’s Signature: Houston, Texas August 197^ ABSTRACT PALLADIUM CATALYSED OLIGOMERIZATION OF 1-ALKYNES by Ann Beal Hunt The oligomerization of 1-pentyne using palladium acetyl acetonate catalyst with various solvents and ligands was in¬ vestigated. An equimolar mixture of HOAc and Et N proved 3 to be a superior solvent. The major product observed in most cases was the dimer, 6-methylene-nona-^-yne, although both cis and trans-dec-^t-ene-6-yne were observed in most cases. Trimers were formed when phosphines were replaced with bldentate amines or phosphite ligands. A one to one mixture of PPh and (CH 0) P gave the highest yield of 3 3 3 oligomers with 6-methylene-nona-4-yne as the major product. No aromatics were formed with any of the reaction systems studied. 19 The general mechanism proposed, by Meriwether and 15 elaborated by Maitlis is in agreement with these results.

Uehling A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of: Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Gojko Lalic, chair Forrest Michael Champak Chatterjee Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Chemistry 2 University of Washington Abstract Gold-Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis of Cyclic Ethers and Copper-Catalyzed Hydrofunctionalization of Alkynes Mycah R. Uehling Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Gojko Lalic Department of Chemistry Gold-catalyzed cyclization of enantioenriched trisubstituted allenols to form enantioenriched α- tetrasubstituted cyclic ethers has been developed. This structural motif can be found in many natural products that have useful biological properties. The cyclization reaction is compatible with multiple functional groups and can be used to prepare enantioenriched furans, pyrans, and chromans all containing an α-tetrasubstituted stereocenter. The reaction development, scope, and a preliminary mechanistic study are discussed. In addition, a method to synthesize the required enantioenriched trisubstituted allenols based on copper-catalyzed cross coupling of enantioenriched propargylic phosphates and organoboron reagents has been developed. This allows the overall sequence to be practical and convergent. Copper-catalyzed hydrobromination and hydroalkylation of alkynes have been developed. The reactions are compatible with many functional groups and can be used to prepare functionalized alkenes in high yield and as one regio- and diastereoisomer. The reaction development, scope, and preliminary mechanism studies are discussed for both reactions. The development of copper-catalyzed hydrobromination and hydroalkylation of alkynes demonstrates that copper-catalyzed 3 hydrofunctionalization of alkynes is a general approach to the synthesis of different types of functionalized alkenes.
