Demir Co-Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Ufuk Bakır January 2008, 72 pages The objective of this presented study was to synthesize optically active compounds considered to be key intermediates in the synthesis of Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) by performing chemical and biotechnological methods. Thereof, the carboethoxy cyclohexenone skeleton first was synthesized utilizing easily available substances. The synthesis of alpha-hydroxy ketones in enantiomerically pure form offers a great importance in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Toward this fact, the enantioselective synthesis of alpha-hydroxy carboethoxy cyclohexenone scaffold has been accomplished by following the routes which were manganese(III) acetate- mediated chemical oxidation followed by enzyme-mediated hydrolysis and additionally microbial direct biooxidation by whole cells of fungi expressly A. oryzae and A. flavus. A very satisfying results have been obtained by both of the methods. Keywords: Alpha-Hydroxy Ketone, Manganese(III) Acetate, Enzymatic Kinetic Resolution, Microbial Hydroxylation, Fungi. iv ÖZ OSELTAMIVIR (TAMIFLU)(R) ANTĐVĐRAL ĐLAÇ HAMMADDELERĐNĐN KEMOENZĐMATĐK SENTEZLERĐ Eşiyok, Hacı Yüksek Lisans, Biyoteknoloji Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi : Prof. Dr. Ayhan S.

  • Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just Like an Alkene, Benzene Has Clouds of  Electrons Above and Below Its Sigma Bond Framework
    Reactions of Aromatic Compounds Just like an alkene, benzene has clouds of electrons above and below its sigma bond framework. Although the electrons are in a stable aromatic system, they are still available for reaction with strong electrophiles. This generates a carbocation which is resonance stabilized (but not aromatic). This cation is called a sigma complex because the electrophile is joined to the benzene ring through a new sigma bond. The sigma complex (also called an arenium ion) is not aromatic since it contains an sp3 carbon (which disrupts the required loop of p orbitals). Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page1 The loss of aromaticity required to form the sigma complex explains the highly endothermic nature of the first step. (That is why we require strong electrophiles for reaction). The sigma complex wishes to regain its aromaticity, and it may do so by either a reversal of the first step (i.e. regenerate the starting material) or by loss of the proton on the sp3 carbon (leading to a substitution product). When a reaction proceeds this way, it is electrophilic aromatic substitution. There are a wide variety of electrophiles that can be introduced into a benzene ring in this way, and so electrophilic aromatic substitution is a very important method for the synthesis of substituted aromatic compounds. Ch17 Reactions of Aromatic Compounds (landscape).docx Page2 Bromination of Benzene Bromination follows the same general mechanism for the electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS). Bromine itself is not electrophilic enough to react with benzene. But the addition of a strong Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor), such as FeBr3, catalyses the reaction, and leads to the substitution product.

  • Activation of Pyridinium Salts for Electrophilic Acylation: a Method for Conversion of Pyridines Into 3-Acylpyridines
    Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Vol. 40, No. 6, 2004 ACTIVATION OF PYRIDINIUM SALTS FOR ELECTROPHILIC ACYLATION: A METHOD FOR CONVERSION OF PYRIDINES INTO 3-ACYLPYRIDINES A. Klapars1 and E. Vedejs2 Cyanide adducts of N-MOM pyridinium salts react with strong acylating reagents to provide 3-acyl-4- cyano-1,4-dihydropyridines that can be aromatized to 3-acylpyridines using ZnCl2 in refluxing ethanol. Keywords: dihydropyridines, pyridine acylation. Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions of pyridines are extraordinarily challenging. Instead of C-substitution at the pyridine ring, the electrophile typically forms an adduct with the pyridine nitrogen, which even further deactivates the already electron deficient pyridine ring toward electrophilic substitution. For example, the direct nitration of pyridine may require a reaction temperature of 330°C to provide only a 15% yield of 3-nitropyridine [1]. To the best of our knowledge, no direct, intermolecular C-acylations of pyridines have been reported [2]. This seriously limits the choice of methods for the preparation of the ubiquitous 3-substituted pyridines [3, 4]. In a limited number of cases, the lack of reactivity of pyridines toward electrophiles has been addressed by converting the recalcitrant pyridine into a temporarily activated 1,4-dihydropyridine [5-9]. In contrast to the electron poor parent pyridine, the electron rich 1,4-dihydropyridine features strongly enhanced reactivity toward electrophiles at the 3-position. Several steps are typically required including formation of the dihydropyridine, the subsequent reaction with an electrophile, and rearomatization to the desired 3-substituted pyridine. A similar concept has been ingeniously employed in a one pot nitration of pyridines in the presence of sulfite as the nucleophile that temporarily activates the pyridine, and then acts as a leaving group in an aromatization step [10, 11].

  • 1. A. the First Reaction Is a Friedel-Crafts Acylation (FCA), Where the Major Product Is the Para- Isomer (60% Isolated Yield)
    1. a. The first reaction is a Friedel-Crafts Acylation (FCA), where the major product is the para- isomer (60% isolated yield). The second reaction is a nitration, where the incoming electrophile (nitronium ion) is directed to the ortho position of the methoxy group. The last reaction is a Wolff-Kishner reduction that converts the acetyl group into an ethyl group. The nitro group does not react under these conditions.

Tetrahydrofuran is a fairly strong Lewis base, which would react and deactivate the AlCl3 catalyst. Ethanol would also react with AlCl3 and form alcoholates, which are inactive at FCA catalyst. Dichloromethane is polar enough to dissolve all three compounds but does not form adducts with AlCl3. Thus, aluminum chloride maintains its Lewis acidity. 3+ c. As discussed in lecture, AlCl3*6 H2O is not suitable as catalyst because the Al is not a strong Lewis acid anymore. In addition, larger amounts of water would destroy the acetyl chloride as well (=hydrolysis, CH3COCl + H2O ---- > CH3COOH + HCl).

    Instructor Supplemental Solutions to Problems © 2010 Roberts and Company Publishers Chapter 16 The Chemistry of Benzene and Its Derivatives Solutions to In-Text Problems 16.1 (b) o-Diethylbenzene or 1,2-diethylbenzene (d) 2,4-Dichlorophenol (f) Benzylbenzene or (phenylmethyl)benzene (also commonly called diphenylmethane) 16.2 (b) (d) (f) (h) 16.3 Add about 25 °C per carbon relative to toluene (110.6 C; see text p. 743): (b) propylbenzene: 161 °C (actual: 159 °C) 16.4 The aromatic compound has NMR absorptions with greater chemical shift in each case because of the ring current (Fig. 16.2, text p. 745). (b) The chemical shift of the benzene protons is at considerably greater chemical shift because benzene is aromatic and 1,4-cyclohexadiene is not. 16.6 (b) Among other features, the NMR spectrum of 1-bromo-4-ethylbenzene has a typical ethyl quartet and a typical para-substitution pattern for the ring protons, as shown in Fig. 16.3, text p. 747, whereas the spectrum of (2- bromoethyl)benzene should show a pair of triplets for the methylene protons and a complex pattern for the ring protons. If this isn’t enough to distinguish the two compounds, the integral of the ring protons relative to the integral of the remaining protons is different in the two compounds. 16.7 (b) The IR spectrum indicates the presence of an OH group, and the chemical shift of the broad NMR resonance (d 6.0) suggests that this could be a phenol. The splitting patterns of the d 1.17 and d 2.58 resonances show that the compound also contains an ethyl group, and the splitting pattern of the ring protons shows that the compound is a para-disubstituted benzene derivative.
