Abstract The focus of this thesis is twofold: The first is on the application of iron catalysis for organic transformations. The second is on the use of in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to investigate the mechanisms of a heterogeneous palladium- catalyzed reaction and a homogeneous ruthenium-catalyzed reaction. In chapters two, three and four, the use of iron catalyst VI, or its analog X, is described for (I) the DKR of sec-alcohols to produce enantiomerically pure acetates; (II) the cycloisomerization of α-allenols and α-allenic sulfonamides, giving 2,3-dihydrofuran or 2,3-dihydropyrrole products, respectively, with excellent diastereoselectivity; and (III) the aerobic biomimetic oxidation of primary- and secondary alcohols to their respective aldehydes or ketones.

  • Ruthenium Tetroxide (Ruo4) Oxidation of N-Alkyllactams Proceeded Regioselectively Depend- Ing on the Size of Lactam Ring, Except for the Seven-Membered Ring
    No. 1 357 Chem. Pharm. Bull. 35(1) 357-363 (1987) Ruthenium Tetroxide Oxidation of N-Alkyllactams SHIGEYUKIYOSHIFUJI,* YUKIMI ARAKAWA, and YOSHIHIRONITTA Schoolof Pharmacy,Hokuriku University,Kanagawa-machi, Kanazawa920-11, Japan (ReceivedJuly 31, 1986) Ruthenium tetroxide (RuO4) oxidation of N-alkyllactams proceeded regioselectively depend- ing on the size of lactam ring, except for the seven-membered ring. Four- and eight-membered N- methyl- and N-ethyllactams were oxidized at the exocyclic ƒ¿-carbon adjacent to nitrogen to produce the N-acyllactams and NH-lactams, while five- and six-membered lactams underwent endocyclic oxidation to yield the cyclic imides. Oxidation of seven-membered lactams yielded a mixture of products arising from both exocyclic and endocyclic oxidations. These regioselectivities were confirmed in the oxidation of substrates having a tertiary carbon at the oxidation position. Keywords•\oxidation; ruthenium tetroxide oxidation; regioselective oxidation; hydroxyl- ation; imide synthesis; N-alkyllactam; N-acyllactam; imide; ruthenium tetroxide; two-phase method Ruthenium tetroxide (RuO4) is a good reagent for the conversion of N-acylated cyclic amines to the corresponding lactams,1) by oxidation of one of two carbons adjacent to nitrogen. As a common feature of the RuO4 oxidation in this conversion (la to 2 in Chart 1) and in the transformation of cyclic ethers into the corresponding lactones,2) it has been considered that RuO4 predominantly oxidizes a secondary carbon rather than a tertiary one. However, as reported previously,3) we obtained an opposite result in the RuO4 oxidation of some 1-azabicycloalkan-2-ones, such as quinolizidin-4-one (1b), which gave the hydroxylated products, such as 3, resulting from the oxidation of the tertiary carbon.

It is present throughout all the steps of nuclear fuel reprocessing —particularly during extraction—and requires special attention due to its complex chemistry and high bg activity. An innovative electrovolatilization process is now being developed to take advantage of the volatility of RuO4 in order to eliminate it at the head end of the PUREX process and thus reduce the number of extraction cycles. Although the process operates successfully with synthetic nitrato-RuNO3+ solutions, difficulties have been encountered in extrapolating it to real-like dissolution solutions. In order to better approximate the chemical forms of ruthenium found in fuel dissolution solutions, kinetic and speciation studies on dissolved species were undertaken with RuO2,xH2O and Ru° in nitric acid media.

Coverdale 1 , Thaisa Laroiya-McCarron 2 and Isolda Romero-Canelón 2,* 1 Department of Chemistry, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK; [email protected] 2 School of Pharmacy, Institute of Clinical Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 November 2018; Accepted: 13 February 2019; Published: 1 March 2019 Abstract: After nearly 20 years of research on the use of ruthenium in the fight against cancer, only two Ru(III) coordination complexes have advanced to clinical trials. During this time, the field has produced excellent candidate drugs with outstanding in vivo and in vitro activity; however, we have yet to find a ruthenium complex that would be a viable alternative to platinum drugs currently used in the clinic. We aimed to explore what we have learned from the most prominent complexes in the area, and to challenge new concepts in chemical design. Particularly relevant are studies involving NKP1339, NAMI-A, RM175, and RAPTA-C, which have paved the way for current research. We explored the development of the ruthenium anticancer field considering that the mechanism of action of complexes no longer focuses solely on DNA interactions, but explores a diverse range of cellular targets involving multiple chemical strategies. Keywords: ruthenium; anticancer; metal complex 1. Introduction Cancer is a major health burden in the developed world. Although many breakthroughs in biological targeted approaches have occurred (specifically, immunological therapy), an unmet clinical need remains for a large section of the patient population, so wide-spectrum chemotherapy agents are still required.

  • Periodic Table 1 Periodic Table
    Periodic table 1 Periodic table This article is about the table used in chemistry. For other uses, see Periodic table (disambiguation). The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers (numbers of protons in the nucleus), electron configurations , and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number, which is typically listed with the chemical symbol in each box. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements laid out in 18 columns and 7 Standard 18-column form of the periodic table. For the color legend, see section Layout, rows, with a double row of elements under the larger table. below that. The table can also be deconstructed into four rectangular blocks: the s-block to the left, the p-block to the right, the d-block in the middle, and the f-block below that. The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups, with some of these having names such as halogens or noble gases. Since, by definition, a periodic table incorporates recurring trends, any such table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements and predict the properties of new, yet to be discovered or synthesized, elements. As a result, a periodic table—whether in the standard form or some other variant—provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and such tables are widely used in chemistry and other sciences. Although precursors exist, Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited with the publication, in 1869, of the first widely recognized periodic table.
