The new molecules are expected to exhibit plant growth stimulation properties. In particular, the yield in a situation of drought is expected to increase. Our synthesis makes use of the Favorskii reaction between cyclohexanone/piperidone and triple-bond containing alcohols. The structures of the obtained molecules were determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The electronic structure and geometries of the molecules were studied theoretically using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The calculated geometries agree very well with the experimentally determined ones, and also allow us to determine bond lengths, angles and charge distributions inside the molecules.

  • Transformation of Phenanthrene by Mycobacterium Sp. ELW1 and the Formation of Toxic Metabolites
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jill E. Schrlau for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Engineering presented on September 20, 2016. Title: Transformation of Phenanthrene by Mycobacterium sp. ELW1 and the Formation of Toxic Metabolites. Abstract approved: _____________________________________________________________________ Lewis Semprini Staci Simonich The ability of Mycobacterium sp. ELW1, a novel microbe capable of alkene oxidation, to co-metabolize phenanthrene (PHE) was studied. ELW1 was able to completely co-metabolize PHE, at different concentrations below its water solubility limit, in an aqueous environment. The alkene monooxygenases in ELW1, used to initiate oxidation of PHE, were effectively inhibited by 1-octyne despite some PHE transformation observed. PHE metabolites consisted of only hydroxyphenanthrenes (OHPHEs) with trans-9,10-dihydroxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (trans-9,10-PHE), the primary product, comprising more than 90% of the total metabolites formed in both PHE-exposed cells and 1-octyne controls. Mass balance was estimated by summing the zero-order formation rates of OHPHE metabolites and comparing these to the zero-order transformation rates PHE in PHE-exposed cells. The transformation rates of PHE and were in good agreement with the formation rates of the metabolites. PHE transformation followed first-order rates that, when normalized by biomass, were in the range of those estimated by the ratio of the Michaelis-Menten kinetic variables of maximum transformation rate (kmax) to the half-saturation constant (KS). Estimated values for kmax to KS obtained through both non-linear and linearization methods resulted in kmax/KS estimates that were a factor of ~3 lower compared to experimental values.

  • Cycloadditions for Rapid, Scalable Access to Alkynylated Polycyclic Aromatic Cite This: Chem
    Chemical Science EDGE ARTICLE View Article Online View Journal | View Issue Site-selective [2 + 2 + n] cycloadditions for rapid, scalable access to alkynylated polycyclic aromatic Cite this: Chem. Sci., 2020, 11,3028 hydrocarbons† All publication charges for this article have been paid for by the Royal Society of Chemistry Gavin R. Kiel, Harrison M. Bergman and T. Don Tilley * Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are attractive synthetic building blocks for more complex conjugated nanocarbons, but their use for this purpose requires appreciable quantities of a PAH with reactive functional groups. Despite tremendous recent advances, most synthetic methods cannot satisfy these demands. Here we present a general and scalable [2 + 2 + n](n ¼ 1 or 2) cycloaddition strategy to access PAHs that are decorated with synthetically versatile alkynyl groups and its application to seven structurally diverse PAH ring systems (thirteen new alkynylated PAHs in total). The critical discovery is the site-selectivity of an Ir-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition, which preferentially cyclizes tethered diyne units with preservation of other (peripheral) alkynyl groups. The potential for generalization of the site- Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. selectivity to other [2 + 2 + n] reactions is demonstrated by identification of a Cp2Zr-mediated [2 + 2 + 1]/metallacycle transfer sequence for synthesis of an alkynylated, selenophene-annulated PAH. The new PAHs are excellent synthons for macrocyclic conjugated nanocarbons. As a proof of concept, four were subjected to alkyne metathesis catalysis to afford large, PAH-containing arylene ethylene macrocycles, which possess a range of cavity sizes reaching well into the nanometer regime. Notably, these high- Received 2nd December 2019 yielding macrocyclizations establish that synthetically convenient pentynyl groups can be effective for Accepted 15th February 2020 metathesis since the 4-octyne byproduct is sequestered by 5 A˚ MS.

  • Cyclopentane Synthesis
    Cyclopentane Synthesis Dan O’Malley Baran Group Meeting Cyclopentane Synthesis Group Meeting O'Malley 2/9/2005 This presentation is broken down into the following catagories. Some reactions either fit more than one Students of organic chemistry are taught a number of reactions for the synthesis of category or do not fit easily into any of them. Efforts have been made to place all such reactions in the cyclohexanes at a very early stage of their careers. Techniques for the creation of cyclopentanes, most appropriate category. however, are generally taught at a much later stage and are rarely given the same detailed treatment. This may be the result of the fact that there are no equivalents of reactions such as the Diels-Alder and I. General Information Robinson Annulation in terms of generality, extent of use, and historical importance. This may, in turn, II. Ionic Reactions be caused by the fact that the cyclopentane is an inherintly "umpoled" functionality, as illustrated below. III. Metal Mediated Reactions IV. Radical Reactions FG V. Pericyclic and Pseudo-pericyclic Reactions VI. Ring Expansion and Contraction Reactions I. General Information This situation is further exacerbated by the general lack of cheaply available cyclopentane compounds Baldwin's rules in the chiral pool; wheras a number of cyclohexane terpenes are readily available for elaboration, there Baldwin has divided ring closure reactions into those that are "favored" and those that are "disfavored". are no analogous cylcopentane natural products. Cyclopentanes are however, present in many Those that are disfavored are not always impossible, but are frequently much more difficult to effect.
