  • Radical Approaches to Alangium and Mitragyna Alkaloids
    Radical Approaches to Alangium and Mitragyna Alkaloids A Thesis Submitted for a PhD University of York Department of Chemistry 2010 Matthew James Palframan Abstract The work presented in this thesis has focused on the development of novel and concise syntheses of Alangium and Mitragyna alkaloids, and especial approaches towards (±)-protoemetinol (a), which is a key precursor of a range of Alangium alkaloids such as psychotrine (b) and deoxytubulosine (c). The approaches include the use of a key radical cyclisation to form the tri-cyclic core. O O O N N N O O O H H H H H H O N NH N Protoemetinol OH HO a Psychotrine Deoxytubulosine b c Chapter 1 gives a general overview of radical chemistry and it focuses on the application of radical intermolecular and intramolecular reactions in synthesis. Consideration is given to the mediator of radical reactions from the classic organotin reagents, to more recently developed alternative hydrides. An overview of previous synthetic approaches to a range of Alangium and Mitragyna alkaloids is then explored. Chapter 2 follows on from previous work within our group, involving the use of phosphorus hydride radical addition reactions, to alkenes or dienes, followed by a subsequent Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. It was expected that the tri-cyclic core of the Alangium alkaloids could be prepared by cyclisation of a 1,7-diene, using a phosphorus hydride to afford the phosphonate or phosphonothioate, however this approach was unsuccessful and it highlighted some limitations of the methodology. Chapter 3 explores the radical and ionic chemistry of a range of silanes.

    I. MATRIX ISOLATION OF 1,1-DIAZENES II. DISTANCE, TEMPERATURE, AND DYNAMIC SOLVENT EFFECTS ON ELECTRON TRANSFER REACTIONS Thesis by James Edward Hanson In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 1990 (Submitted September 8, 1989) 11 © 1990 James Edward Hanson All rights Reserved ill Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor, Peter Dervan , for his enthusiasm and support during my studies at Caltech. I would also like to thank Professor John Hopfield for his availability when I needed assistance with the theoretical complexities of the electron transfer work. I am deeply indebted to Lutfur "Zeta" Khundkar and Joe Perry for their expert assistance and collaboration in making measurements and understanding the implications of the results. Al Sylwester was extremely helpful in my first year as I began to work on 1,1-diazenes, and Alvin Joran and Burt Leland made my transition to the electron transfer project relatively simple. I should also thank those in the Dervan group who helped me with synthetic problems, especially John Griffin and Warren Wade. I appreciated discussions with some of the electron transfer experts at Caltech: Professor Rudy Marcus, Dave Beratan, Jose Onuchic, Dave Malerba, and Tad Fox. There were many times when the men in the chemistry shops provided invaluable assistance--you guys are the best! There are many who made my stay at Caltech enjoyable--I'll remember skiing with John and Linda Griffin and Heinz Moser, basketball (and marathons!) with Dave Kaisaki, tennis with Erich Uffelmann, and late night conversations with Kevin Luebke.

  • Carbonyl Compounds
    CARBONYL COMPOUNDS PART-4, PPT-4, SEM-3 Dr. Kalyan Kumar Mandal Associate Professor St. Paul’s C. M. College Kolkata CONTENTS: CARBONYL COMPOUNDS PART-4 • Formation of Acetal/Ketal • Formation of Thioacetal Reaction of Carbonyl Compounds with Alcohols • Carbonyl compounds react with alcohols. The product of this reaction is known as a hemiacetal, because it is halfway to an acetal. This reaction is analogous to hydrate formation from aldehydes and ketones. The mechanism follows in the footsteps of hydrate formation: ROH is used instead of HOH (water). This Lecture is prepared by Dr. K. K. Mandal, SPCMC, Kolkata Formation of Cyclic Hemiacetal • Hemiacetal formation is reversible, and they are stabilized by the same special structural features as those of hydrates. However, hemiacetals can also gain stability by being cyclic. • Cyclic hemiacetal is formed when the carbonyl group and the attacking hydroxyl group are part of the same molecule. The reaction is an intramolecular (within the same molecule) addition, as opposed to the intermolecular (between two molecules) ones. This is an example of ring-chain tautomerism. This Lecture is prepared by Dr. K. K. Mandal, SPCMC, Kolkata Formation of Cyclic Hemiacetal • Although the cyclic hemiacetal is more stable, it is still in equilibrium with some of the open-chain hydroxyaldehyde form. Its stability, and how easily it forms, depend on the size of the ring. • Five- and six-membered rings involve less strain (their bonds are free to adopt 109° or 120° angles) in comparison to the three- membered rings, and therefore five or six-membered hemiacetals are very common.

  • The Mechanism and Kinetics of Thiophene Adsorption On
    THE MECHANISM AND KINETICS OF THIOPHENE ADSORPTION ON NICKEL AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London and for the Diploma of Imperial College Khaliq Ahmed Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemical Technology Imperial College of Science and Technology London SW7 United Kingdom January 1987 ABSTRACT An experimental and modelling study of the kinetics of thiophene adsorption on nickel at ambient temperatures and pressures has been made. The objective of the study was to acquire a better understanding of the mechanism involved than is currently available. The reactant (1000 ppm thiophene in hydrogen) was contacted with a nickel on gamma alumina catalyst. Experiments were carried out in a microbalance flow reactor and the uptake of thiophene by the catalyst was recorded as a function of time. Prior to adsorption of thiophene, the catalyst was characterised in terms of its total BET surface area, pore-size distribution, active Ni-area and average crystallite size. All measurements were performed in situ except for that of the crystallite size which was determined by x-ray line broadening. The experimental study revealed that at room temperature thiophene adsorbs on nickel either directly as thiophene molecules, or as a hydrogenated species namely, thiophane ; no gaseous products eluted indicating that thiophene was not undergoing decomposition under these conditions. Overall uptake of thiophene by nickel in the catalyst showed that there were at least two possible modes of adsorption. It is postulated that these are perpendicular and coplanar. The crystallite size of nickel in the catalyst was varied by changing the loading of the catalyst, or by 2 sintering in an atmosphere of hydrogen at elevated temperatures.
