Stereoselective Conjugate Addition of Cyanide Stereoselective Conjugate Addition of Cyanide A thesis presented by Nicola Jane Con vine In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and the award of the Diploma of Imperial College London 1630442 Heilbron Laboratory Department of Chemistry Imperial College London SW7 2AY Abstract This thesis describes the development of a diastereoselective conjugate addition of cyanide. Chapter One contains a critical review of reported asymmetric conjugate additions of cyanide and a brief summary of non-asymmetric conjugate additions of cyanide to enones. Chapter Two summarises the initial research objective of this project; namely development of an enantioselective conjugate addition of cyanide to enones. Chapter Three presents the research undertaken to achieve this objective and the evolution of the project to the successful diastereoselective hydrocyanation employing an oxazolidinone as a chiral auxiliary. In Chapter Three, investigation into the ZnI2 and YbCb catalysed addition of TMSCN to cyclohexenone and other carbonyl compounds is detailed. Since enantioselective adaptation of this methodology proved unsuccessful, further research into the hydrocyanation of a,p- unsaturated carbonyl compounds under Sm(O'Pr)3 catalysis with the cheap cyanide source, acetone cyanohydrin, is detailed. This is followed by adaptation of the Sm(O'Pr)3 methodology to chiral a,|3-unsaturated W-acyl oxazolidinones to provide a diastereoselective conjugate addition of cyanide. This section includes a review of reported asymmetric conjugate additions to chiral a,(3-unsaturated 7V-acyl oxazolidinones and continues with a discussion of the substrate scope and possible mechanism of the hydrocyanation. Chapter Three concludes with the application of this stereoselective hydrocyanation to the synthesis of three drug molecules, Pregabalin, Baclofen and Rolipram, and includes a brief review of previously reported syntheses of these molecules. Chapter Four summarises the findings in this thesis and offers suggestions for future development of this work. Chapter Five gives full experimental details along with spectroscopic and physical data for all new compounds.

Conway Abstract The Bucherer-Bergs reaction is a classical multi-component reaction that yields hydantoins, which can be hydrolysed to afford α-amino acids. Hydantoins have many uses in modern organic synthesis, and this moiety has been included in a number of therapeutic agents, which have a wide range of biological activities. Herein, we report a mild synthesis of 5- and 5,5-substituted hydantoins from α- aminonitriles using Hünig’s base and carbon dioxide (Scheme 1). This reaction can be performed in excellent yields, using a variety of organic solvents and is applicable to a range of substrates.

  • TOPIC 4. COVALENT COMPOUNDS: Bonding, Naming, Polyatomic Ions
    TOPIC 4. COVALENT COMPOUNDS: bonding, naming, polyatomic ions. Covalent bonding. In Topic 3, one type of chemical bond, the ionic bond, was discussed. Ionic bonding is essentially electrostatic attraction between ions. The ions examined in that Topic were shown to form because the energetically favoured outer electron arrangement of the noble gases is attained in the process. However, there is another means by which an atom can attain at least a share of the number of electrons required for it to become isoelectronic with a noble gas without having the electrons transferred totally to or from that atom. In the type of chemical bond called the COVALENT BOND, two atoms share electrons which are spread over both of the bonded atoms. Consider the simplest possible molecule, the H2 molecule. In Topic 2, it was shown that each hydrogen atom has a nucleus consisting of a single proton around which one electron orbits. If two hydrogen atoms come sufficiently close together, there is a repulsion between the two nuclei, as they both have the same positive electrical charge and like charges repel. Similarly, there is a repulsion between the two electrons. At the same time however, there is attraction between each nucleus and the two electrons, and this attraction allows the nuclei to remain close together in spite of the repulsions present. Calculations show that the electrons become more concentrated in the region between the nuclei than elsewhere, and this accounts for the stability of the bond. Recall that the hydrogen atom's electron is in an orbit that can contain a maximum of two electrons.
