Previously, my research was in biochemistry during my undergraduate years but has since shifted to synthetic chemistry during my time in the graduate program. During this time, I received a significant amount of useful advice from Dr. Albiniak in pursuing an end goal in my research. In particular, the idea of first obtaining evidence for proof of principle that a synthetic route was worth pursuing and then building off this in overall project was very applicable to the work performed in my project. I would to thank you for all your support, advice, and overall patience in serving as my advisor. In addition, I would also like to thank my committee members, Dr. Robert Sammelson and Dr. Sundeep Rayat, for their help in my graduate studies. I could not have accomplished this project without their help. I would to thank my lab mates for their support and comradery they brought to the lab. They provided both a friendly and competitive atmosphere that provided me with the necessary drive for success in difficult times. I would also like to thank my family and friends for all their support and patience during my time in the master’s program. My parents for understanding when I could not come to family events and their continuous support when times were tough. I would also like to thank Fr. Brian Doerr for providing both spiritual direction and overall life guidance during my graduate years. iii Abstract Over the last decade, 2-benzyloxy-1-methylpyridinium triflate (BnOPT) has been found to be a highly effective reagent for the benzylation of alcohols and other nucleophiles. Benzylation using BnOPT is performed under relatively neutral conditions, as opposed to the more extreme pH’s needed in traditional methods to synthesize benzyl ethers. The proposed mechanism for this benzylation occurs by an SN1-like pathway in which BnOPT decomposes under a mild application of heat to form a benzyl cation which is subsequently captured by the nucleophilic alcohol. Based on this mechanism, a second generation of benzyloxypyridinium salts possessing electron-withdrawing groups on the pyridyl component have been designed as more efficient benzyl transfer reagents. The electron-withdrawing groups allow for benzyl cation formation at lower temperatures and/or shorter reaction times. A potential drawback to these derivatives is their increased unit cost resulting from the additional steps and time required to synthesize them, and their efficiency is limited given their one-time usage. This thesis will focus on the development and synthesis of a new benzoyl-substituted benzyloxypryridnium salt derivative designed to not only possess increased reactivity based on electronic effects, but also increased solubility in relatively non-polar solvents. This enhanced solubility should allow for more efficient molecule interaction and easier byproduct isolation. Future studies will focus on the recycling of the pyridone byproduct to regenerate the reactive salt to further increase the efficiency of these reagents. These new benzyloxypyridinium salt derivatives should allow for broader use and application of these reagents as mild benzylation reagents in the synthesis of complex and sensitive organic compounds.

  • We Utilized a Similar Approach with DEP-Chymotryp- Two of The
    PROBING THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE ACTIVE SITE OF a-CHYMOTRYPSIN BY BERNARD F. ERLANGER DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY, COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Communicated by Erwin Chargaff, May 16, 1967 This paper is a report of a study of the topography of the active center of a- chymotrypsin. In particular, it will deal with that portion involved in sub- strate binding and with its position in space relative to the nucleophilic serine residue that is believed to function in the catalytic mechanism.1 Since an enzyme must accommodate a substrate, the simplest approach to an understanding of the topography of the former might be a study of the conformation of the latter. However, this is not feasible with chymotrypsin. A typical sub- strate of chymotrypsin is acetyl L-phenylalanine ethyl ester.1 There is much evi- dence linking the susceptibility of this substrate to the aromatic ring of the amino acid (though aromaticity is not necessary since cyclic hexahydro derivatives are also substrates)2 and to the acylamido portion of the molecule. Benzoylamido may substitute for acetylamido and, in fact, yields a somewhat better substrate (higher keat)3 in the case of acyl L-tyrosine amide. However, since all of the above substrates are flexible molecules and therefore able to assume many conformations, there is no way of knowing their conformation when bound to the active center of a-chymotrypsin. In our early studies we chose to use an approach based upon the experiments of Wilson with acetylcholinesterase.4 Acetylcholinesterase and chymotrypsin belong to the class of enzymes called serine esterases.1 All members of this class contain an unusually reactive serine residue which acts as a nucleophile in the catalytic mechanism.

  • Unexpected Migration of Benzoyl Group in the Synthesis of 3-Benzoyl-2-Phenylbenzofurans Under Wittig Conditions †
    Proceedings Unexpected Migration of Benzoyl Group in the Synthesis of 3-Benzoyl-2-Phenylbenzofurans under Wittig Conditions † Giovanna Lucia Delogu* and Michela Begala Dipartimento di Scienze della Vita e dell’Ambiente, Università degli Studi di Cagliari, 09124 Cagliari, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-070-675-8566 † Presented at the 22nd International Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry, 15 November– 15 December 2018; Available Online: https://sciforum.net/conference/ecsoc-22. Published: 14 November 2018 Abstract: In the present work, we report the unexpected formation of isomeric 3-benzoyl-2- phenylbenzo[b]furans using triphenylphosphonium salt and benzoyl chlorides under Wittig conditions. In particular, we found that the o-[(benzoyloxy)benzyl]-triphenyl-phosphoranes constitute the key intermediate that reasonably undergoes benzoyl group migration. Keywords: Wittig reaction; 3-aroyl-2-phenylbenzofurans; phosphorane 1. Introduction 3-Aroyl[b]benzofurans represent the structural cores of a large number of bioactive molecules in current pharmaceutical use or development. As a result, numerous approaches towards the synthesis of 3-acylbenzofurans have been disclosed in the literature. The Wittig reaction is an easy procedure for the benzofuran ring system. In a previous paper, Hercouet and Le Corre reported that the intramolecular condensation of o-acyloxybenzylidenetriph enylphosphoranes II leads to benzofuran in aprotic medium (toluene) or acylated product in protic medium (t-BuOH) [1,2]. We recently found that the reaction of the triphenylphosphonium salt and aroyl chlorides in toluene leads together with the expected 2-phenylbenzofurans 3 also to 3-benzoyl-2-phenylbenzo[b] furans 4 via ylide acylation under Wittig conditions (Scheme 1) [3].

Received: 27 August 2010; in revised form: 8 October 2010 / Accepted: 14 October 2010 / Published: 27 October 2010 Abstract: Oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) synthesis, which avoids the formation of side products, is of great importance to biochemistry-based technology development. One side reaction of ODN synthesis is the cyanoethylation of the nucleobases. We suppressed this reaction by synthesizing ODNs using fully protected deoxynucleoside 3′-phosphoramidite building blocks, where the remaining reactive nucleobase residues were completely protected with acyl-, diacyl-, and acyl-oxyethylene-type groups. The detailed analysis of cyanoethylation at the nucleobase site showed that N3-protection of the thymine base efficiently suppressed the Michael addition of acrylonitrile. An ODN incorporating N3-cyanoethylthymine was synthesized using the phosphoramidite method, and primer extension reactions involving this ODN template were examined. As a result, the modified thymine produced has been proven to serve as a chain terminator.

In aggregate, the data suggested that the trehalose-containing oligosaccharides form a high-density glass Trehalose 1, a disaccharide comprised of two glucose mono- that is postulated to serve a protective role for cytosolic mers linked in a a,a-1,1 fashion, is found in over 80 different biomolecules in vivo. Moreover, recent studies have indicated species of plants, insects, algae, fungi, and bacteria (Fig. 1).1 The that sol gels embedded with bovine LDH have increased oligosaccharides and mycolic acids that contain trehalose (e.g. 2 stability in the presence of neosartose 5 and scherose 6 when This article is licensed under a 13 & 3) are important biomolecules involved in a variety of func- compared to trehalose.
