The method employs a phosphetane catalyst together with a mild bromenium oxidant and terminal hydrosilane reductant to drive successive C−N and C−C bond-forming dehydration events via the serial action of a catalytic bromophosphonium intermediate. These results demonstrate the capacity of PIII/PV redox catalysis to enable iterative redox-neutral transformations in complement to the common reductive driving force of the PIII/PV couple. rogress over the past decade has established the viability − P of the PIII/PVO redox couple for catalysis.1 3 In contrast to prior notions about the kinetic inertness of the PO bond, the incorporation of P into a ring structure can lead to swift deoxygenation by mild reagents such as hydrosilanes.4,5 By virtue of the reducing potential of the PIII/PV couple, many of these transformations are reductive in 6−8 Figure 1.

  • DEVELOPMENT of NOVEL METHODOLOGIES UTILIZING QUATERNARY AMMONIUM SALTS AS CATALYSTS by LINDSEY RAE CULLEN DISSERTATION Submitted
    DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL METHODOLOGIES UTILIZING QUATERNARY AMMONIUM SALTS AS CATALYSTS BY LINDSEY RAE CULLEN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Scott E. Denmark, Chair Professor Martin D. Burke Professor Scott K. Silverman Professor Steven C. Zimmerman ii Abstract The first half of this thesis (Chapter 2) described the development of a fluoride-promoted conjugate addition of sulfur-stabilized carbanion nucleophiles to α,β-unsaturated ketones and esters. This reaction was achieved using a substoichiometric amount of TBAF, resulting in high yields on the desired 1,4-addition product. The addition of 1,3-dithianes was given particular focus as a novel method for the preparation of differentially protect 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds. Observation by 13C NMR spectroscopy provided evidence that the reaction proceeds through an ion pair, and attempts to extend this reaction to asymmetric additions using a chiral counterion are presented in detail. The second half of this thesis (Chapter 3) details development of a phase transfer catalyzed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allyloxy carbonyl compounds. Initial investigation focused on identifying viable substrate classes that would undergo selective [2,3]-rearrangement under phase transfer conditions. Under certain conditions, the [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allyloxy carbonyl compounds takes place in the presence of a phase transfer agent, providing a rare example of a phase transfer catalyzed unimolecular reaction. In the course of this investigation it was found that catalysis is dependent on several variables including base concentration, catalyst structure, and substrate lipophilicity.

  • Nickel-Catalyzed Cyanation of Benzylic and Allylic Pivalates
    Nickel-Catalyzed Cyanation of Benzylic and Allylic Pivalates by Alexandria Daria Maria Jeanneret A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Chemistry University of Toronto © Copyright by Alexandria Daria Maria Jeanneret 2018 Nickel-Catalyzed Cyanation of Benzylic and Allylic Pivalates Alexandria Daria Maria Jeanneret Master of Science Department of Chemistry University of Toronto 2018 Abstract Nitriles are considered very versatile functional groups due to their ability to easily be transformed into a variety of other functional groups in one or two steps. In particular, the synthesis of α-arylnitriles is of interest to organic chemists due to their presence in pharmaceuticals and their value as synthetic intermediates. Taking advantage of nickel’s unique ability to insert into a C‒O bond, the focus of this thesis is on the nickel-catalyzed cyanation of benzylic and allylic pivalates, exploring the use of inorganic and organic cyanide sources for this transformation. The substrate scope for the synthesis of benzylic and allylic nitriles will be presented as well as studies examining the functional group tolerance of this cyanation reaction, which led to further insights into the mechanism and applicability of this chemistry. ii Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to thank Professor Sophie Rousseaux for the opportunity to work to work in her lab over the last year. Her passion for chemistry is beyond contagious and her guidance has been invaluable. I would also like to thank Professor Mark Taylor for his help with this thesis. Secondly, I would like to thank all the staff at the NMR and AIMS facility for all their hard-work and dedication to ensuring the instruments run smoothly and for always taking the time to answer questions.

Received: 30 July 2013; in revised form: 14 September 2013 / Accepted: 16 September 2013 / Published: 26 September 2013 Abstract: The 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complexes (ODHc) consist of multiple copies of three enzyme components: E1, a 2-oxoacid decarboxylase; E2, dihydrolipoyl acyl-transferase; and E3, dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase, that together catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoacids, in the presence of thiamin diphosphate (ThDP), coenzyme A 2+ + (CoA), Mg and NAD , to generate CO2, NADH and the corresponding acyl-CoA. The structural scaffold of the complex is provided by E2, with E1 and E3 bound around the periphery. The three principal members of the family are pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDHc), 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDHc) and branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase (BCKDHc). In this review, we report application of NMR-based approaches to both mechanistic and structural issues concerning these complexes. These studies revealed the nature and reactivity of transient intermediates on the enzymatic pathway and provided site-specific information on the architecture and binding specificity of the domain interfaces using solubilized truncated domain constructs of the multi-domain E2 component in its interactions with the E1 and E3 components.

    A Biosynthetically Inspired Synthetic Route to Substituted Furans, and its Application to the Total Synthesis of the Furan Fatty Acid F5 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree Doctor of Philosophy Robert Jack Lee Supervisors: Dr Gareth J. Pritchard and Dr Marc C. Kimber 1 Thesis Abstract Dietary fish oil supplementation has long been shown to have significant health benefits, largely stemming from the anti-inflammatory activity of the ω-3 and ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) present in fish oils. The anti-inflammatory properties of these fatty acids has been linked to beneficial health effects, such as protecting the heart, in individuals consuming diets rich in fish, or supplemented with fish oils.1 These effects are highly notable in the Māori people native to coastal regions of New Zealand; the significantly lower rates of heart problems compared to the inland populous has been attributed to the consumption of the green lipped mussel Perna Canaliculus. Commercially available health supplements based on the New Zealand green lipped mussel include a freeze-dried powder and a lipid extract (Lyprinol®), the latter of which has shown anti- inflammatory properties comparable to classical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Naproxen.2 GCMS analysis of Lyprinol by Murphy et al. showed the presence of a class of ω-4 and ω-6 PUFAs bearing a highly electron rich tri- or tetra-alkyl furan ring, which were designated furan fatty acids (F-acids).3 Due to their instability, isolation of F- acids from natural sources cannot be carried out and a general synthetic route toward this class of natural products was required.

McMillan and Ulf Hanefeld * Biokatalyse, Afdeling Biotechnologie, Technische Universiteit Delft, Van der Maasweg 9, 2629HZ Delft, The Netherlands; [email protected] (S.R.M.); [email protected] (D.G.G.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 12 October 2020; Accepted: 12 November 2020; Published: 16 November 2020 Abstract: The synthetic properties of the Thiamine diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 subunit from Escherichia coli (EcPDH E1) was assessed for carboligation reactions with aliphatic ketoacids. Due to its role in metabolism, EcPDH E1 was previously characterised with respect to its biochemical properties, but it was never applied for synthetic purposes. Here, we show that EcPDH E1 is a promising biocatalyst for the production of chiral α-hydroxyketones. WT EcPDH E1 shows a 180–250-fold higher catalytic efficiency towards 2-oxobutyrate or pyruvate, respectively, in comparison to engineered transketolase variants from Geobacillus stearothermophilus (TKGST). Its broad active site cleft allows for the efficient conversion of both (R)- and (S)-configured α-hydroxyaldehydes, next to linear and branched aliphatic aldehydes as acceptor substrates under kinetically controlled conditions. The alternate, thermodynamically controlled self-reaction of aliphatic aldehydes was shown to be limited to low levels of conversion, which we propose to be due to their large hydration constants. Additionally, the thermodynamically controlled approach was demonstrated to suffer from a loss of stereoselectivity, which makes it unfeasible for aliphatic substrates.

Nucleophilic a-(Secondary Amino)- New synthetic alky lation via Metalated Nitrosaminesr**lr”’l methods 0 By Dieter Seebach and Dieter Ended*] There are basically two kinds of hetero atoms in organic molecules: one kind confers electrophilic character upon the carbon atom to which it is bound, and the other kind turns it into a nucleophilic site. The development of methods permitting transitions between the two resulting categories of reagents has become an important task of modern organic synthesis. The scope of such umpolung of the reactivity of functional groups is discussed for the case of amines as an example. A method of preparing masked u-secondary amino carbanions consists in nitrosation of the secondary amine, followed by metalation of the resulting nitrosamine CL to the nitrogen, reaction with electrophiles, and subsequent denitrosation.

  • Organic Chemistry 2 Ester Enolates and Acyl Anion Equivalents
    Dr. Peter Wipf Chemistry 0320 - Organic Chemistry 2 Ester Enolates and Acyl Anion Equivalents The Claisen condensation is the ester analog of the aldol reaction. Under standard conditions (sodium alkoxide, alkohol), the equilibrium is shifted to the β-dicarbonyl compound as a consequence of the irreversible enolization to the highly resonance-stabilized dicarbonyl enolate. O O NaOR, HOR O O O O + OR R' R' R' R'=OR, C The intramolecular Claisen reaction is generally called the Dieckmann condensation. Another modification of the Claisen condensation is the use of strong base which leads to irreversible enolization of the carbonyl compounds. O OLi LDA, -78 °C PhCOCl O O OEt OEt THF Ph OEt β-Dicarbonyl, and, generally, active methylene compounds provide a rich source of chemistry in alkylation reactions, due to their relative ease of enolization and the possibility for removal of one of the activating groups.

Nature’s Umpolung reagent is thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP). In the pentose phosphate pathway, TPP catalyzes the conversion of erythrose into fructose. First, the carbanion of TPP attacks the carbonyl carbon of xylulose 5-phosphate, forming a proton from the TPP adduct, and subsequent electron rearrangement leads to fragmentation, releasing the first product, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
