Paquette for the opportunity to perforin this research in an atmosphere allowing for productivity and creativity. The enthusiasm which he demonstrated in all aspects of chemistry was both contagious and appreciated. I would like to thank the many members of the Paquette group with whom I have had contact throughout my studies at OSU. The friendship, encouragement, time and efforts which they have contributed to the group made the research environment not only fruitful but also enjoyable. I would also like to thank Professor Stuart Kulp of Moravian College for introducing me to Organic Chemistry. The fire he began in my heart has continued to grow and allowed me (with the help of many) to truely enjoy my chosen career.

  • Functionalized Aromatics Aligned with the Three Cartesian Axes: Extension of Centropolyindane Chemistry*
    Pure Appl. Chem., Vol. 78, No. 4, pp. 749–775, 2006. doi:10.1351/pac200678040749 © 2006 IUPAC Functionalized aromatics aligned with the three Cartesian axes: Extension of centropolyindane chemistry* Dietmar Kuck‡ Fakultät für Chemie, Universität Bielefeld, Universitätsstraße 25, D-33615 Bielefeld, Germany Abstract: The unique geometrical features and structural potential of the centropolyindanes, a complete family of novel, 3D polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, are discussed with respect to the inherent orthogonality of their arene units. Thus, the largest member of the family, centrohexaindane, a topologically nonplanar hydrocarbon, is presented as a “Cartesian hexa- benzene”, because each of its six benzene units is stretched into one of the six directions of the Cartesian space. This feature is discussed on the basis of the X-ray crystal structures of centrohexaindane and two lower members of the centropolyindane family, viz. the parent tribenzotriquinacenes. Recent progress in multiple functionalization and extension of the in- dane wings of selected centropolyindanes is reported, including several highly efficient six- and eight-fold C–C cross-coupling reactions. Some particular centropolyindane derivatives are presented, such as the first twelve-fold functionalized centrohexaindane and a tribenzo- triquinacene bearing three mutually orthogonal phenanthroline groupings at its molecular pe- riphery. Challenges to further extend the arene peripheries of the tribenzotriquinacenes and fenestrindanes to give, eventually, graphite cuttings bearing a central bowl- or saddle-shaped center are outlined, as is the hypothetical generation of a “giant” nanocube consisting of eight covalently bound tribenzotriquinacene units. Along these lines, our recent discovery of a re- lated, solid-state supramolecular cube, containing eight molecules of a particular tri- bromotrinitrotribenzotriquinacene of the same absolute configuration, is presented for the first time.

    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.

Formula IUPAC name( Base name) CH 4 Methane (Meth+ane) CH 3(CH 2)3CH 3 Pentane (Pent+ane) CH 3(CH 2)23 CH 3 Pentacosane (Pentacos+ane) CH 2 = CH 2 Ethene (Eth+ene) CH 3CH 2CH = CH 2 Butene (But + ene) CH 3CH 2CH=CH 2 Butene (But+ene) CH 3(CH 2)12 CH=CH 2 Pentadecene (Pentadec+ene) CH ≡CH Ethyne (Eth+yne) CH 3(CH 2)6C≡CH Nonyne (Non+yne) CH 3C≡CH Propyne (Prop+yne) 2. Reaction mechanism CATEGORIES OF ORGANIC REACTIONS Virtually all organic reactions fall into one of four categories: They are either substitutions, additions (cycloaddition), eliminations, or rearrangements, Ox/Red . (S) Substitutions are the characteristic reactions of saturated compounds such as alkanes and alkyl halides, and of aromatic compounds (even though they are unsaturated). In a substitution, one group replaces another. For example, methyl chloride reacts with sodiumhydroxide to produce methyl alcohol and sodium chloride: In this reaction a hydroxide ion from sodium hydroxide replaces the chlorine of methyl chloride.

  • Mechanisms 1) Free Radical Substitution – Alkane
    Mechanisms 1) Free radical substitution – Alkane à halogenoalkane Initiation: Propagation: Termination: Overall: 2) Ozone depletion • UV light breaks the C – Cl bond releasing chlorine radical . CFCl3F à CCl2F + Cl • This chlorine radical catalyses the decomposition of ozone with the chlorine radical coming out unchanged (and available for more ozone decomposition). Cl + O3 à ClO + O2 . ClO + O3 à Cl + 2O2 Overall 2O3(g) à 3O2(g) 3) Nucleophilic substitution of halogenoalkanes a) With aqueous hydroxide, OH- Hydrolysis – forming alcohols • This reaction converts a halogenoalkane to an alcohol Reagents: Aqueous sodium hydroxide Conditions: Reflux Hydrolysis: Splitting a molecule apart by using water molecules b) With ethanolic potassium cyanide, KCN – forming nitriles • This reaction converts a halogenoalkane to an alkyl nitrile • This is a key reaction in chemical synthesis as the carbon chain length is increased Reagents: Potassium cyanide dissolved in ethanol Conditions: Reflux c) With excess ethanolic ammonia, NH3 – forming amines • This reaction converts a halogenoalkane to amines Reagents: Excess ethanolic ammonia Conditions: Reflux The Mechanism 4) Elimination of halogenoalkanes With ethanolic potassium hydroxide, reflux – forming alkenes Reagents: KOH dissolved in ethanol Conditions: Reflux Substitution vs elimination Substitution Elimination Aqueous conditions – substitution Ethanolic conditions – Elimination predominates predominates OH- behaves as a nucleophile OH- behaves as a base (accepting a proton) 50 : 50 mixture of water
