(i) Abstract o-Aminobenzophenone and its para and meta isomers were prepared using Friedl-Craft benzoylation. Their azides were also prepared via their diazonium salts. The azide of o-aminobenzophenone in its reduced form (o-benzylaniline) and its cyclic gketal were synthesised. All azides thus formed were reacted separately with triphenylphosphine to give the corresponding phopsphinimines, the Wittig reagents nitrogen analoug. The reactivity of the phosphorous-nitrogen bond. (P"=N)inthe different phosphoranes were studied by two types of reactions. (1) The Wittig type of reaction using benzaldehyde and its nitro derivatives with each of the above prepared phosphinimines. While triphenylphosphin-m-benzophenonimine (ii) and the triphenylphosphine benzophenonimine ethylene acetal (v) and it's reduced form triphenylphosphine-o-benzylphenylimine (iv) react giving the corresponding schiffis bases. However, the ortho (i) and the para (iii) isomers failed to react. This lack of reactivity is presumably due to their great stability which came about through the extensive resonance that reduced the nucleophilicity of the nitrogen nucleophile (2) The phosphinimines each was irradiated using Hanovia medium pressure UV lamp. Also the ortho and para isomers were not affected while others reacted giving the corresponding azo-compound and triphenylphosphine. They were separated and detected by chromatography. o N=PPh3 PPh3 N=PPh3 (0 (n) (iii) (iv) (v) R—N = N —R (vi) R = f O •N=PPh3 PPh3 N=PPh3 (0 (iii) (iv) (v) R—N = ' N —R (vi) R = C (V) List of Contents Title Page Acknowledgements i Abstract (English) ii Abstract (Arabic) iv Contents vi Chapter One : 1.

Conclusion * 70 References 71 (viii) CHAPTER ONE t. Introduction Ylids are important class of compounds in which an atom from group V or VI of the periodic table bearing a positive charge, is connected to a carbon atom carrying an unshared pair of electrons-represented by the general formula : © © ^;c—x The term "ylid" was first coined in the German language by Wittig in 1944. It was derived by use of the ending -yl to imply an open valence (i.e.. a methyl) and the ending -id to emply anionicity (i.e., cetylid) both on a carbon atom. The special characteristic of ylids that make them worthly of study in their own right is the unique stabilization afforded the carbanions by the presence of the adjacent 'onium 'atom group. Thus, many ylids have been isolated as crystalline, stable substances where as normal carbonion are seldom isolable and are very reactive toward atmospheric components. Ylids undergo two basic types of reactions, those in which only the carbanion is involved mechanistically and those in which both carbanion and the heteroatom portion are involved. The former group consists basically of those reactions which any carbanion, regardless of structure would undergo. The presence of the heteroatom portion of the ylid usually is reflected only in its effect to the nucleophilicity exhibited by the carbanion. The usefulness of ylids in this type of reaction, is due mainly to their availability in a wide variety of structural environments. Since carbanion reactions inevitably are these which permit the formation of a new carbon-carbons bonds. The availability of almost any carbanion without worry of isomeric possibilities has been a boon to synthetic organic chemisty. The most interesting reactions of ylids are the second group which involve both the carbanion and the heteroatom portion. The Wittig reaction (1) falls into this category and the discovery of this and related reactions incited the burst of activity in the field of ylid chemistry during the last decades studies of the mechanism of these reactions and of the physical properties of ylid have evoked interest in, and provided a substrate for the study of valence shell expansion by elements of the? second and lower periods. There are three main types, phosphorous, nitrogen and sulphur ylids although aresnic, selenium, etc ylids are also known. Because of P^-d^ bonding, two canonical forms can be written for phosphorous and sulphur ylids, but for nitrogen ylids there is only one. Once again, because of the resonance, phosphorous ylids are much more stable than the nitrogen ylids. Inspite of their resonance, sulphur ylids also have a low stability R P - CR «—•R Pe- CQ-R , R S- 3 2 3 2 2 2 K2 Phosophorus ylids Sulphur ylids K3 "^ 2 Nitrogen ylid In almost all compounds which have P^-d^ bonds, the central atom is connected to four atoms or to three atoms and an unshared pair of electron, to give tetrahedral structure. The P^-d^ bond, therefore; does not change the geometry of the molecule, in contrast to the normal n bond which changes an atom from tetrahedral to trigonal. 1.1 The Wittig Reaction The Wittig reaction is named after professor George Wittig of the University of Heidelberge.

Synthetic Routes to Bromo-Terminated Phosphonate Films and Alkynyl Pyridine Compounds for Click Coupling Poornima Rachel Sunder Thesis submitted to the faculty of University of Mary Washington in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with Honors in Chemistry (2018) ABSTRACT Click reactions are a highly versatile class of reactions that produce a diverse range of products. Copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reactions require an azide and a terminal alkyne and produce a coupled product that is “clicked” through a triazole ring that can have a variety of substituents. In this work, bromo-terminated phosphonate films on copper oxide surfaces were explored as the platform for click coupling, as the terminal azide needed for the reaction can be generated through an in situ SN2 reaction with a terminal bromo group. The reactions were characterized using model reactions in solution before being conducted on modified copper oxide surfaces.

    Living Radical Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate with a Rhodium(III) Complex--Organic Halide System in Dimethyl Sulfoxide

For the CCl4 initiator system, a kinetic study of MMA polymerization indicated that polymerization follows first-order kinetics with respect to the monomer and that the number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the polymers produced increases in direct proportion to the monomer conversion. Monomer-addition experiments showed that after addition of further MMA, the Mn of the polymers continues to increase in direct proportion to the monomer conversion. These results confirmed that the poly- merization of MMA in the CCl4-initiated system proceeds in a living radical manner. In contrast, the systems involving the bromo compounds BrCCl3 or CBr4 did not show such a living radical nature. For all these initiator systems, the polymers produced had broad molecular-weight distributions. The catalytic activities are discussed in relation to the reaction product between RhH2(Ph2N3)(PPh3)2 and DMSO.

The viscosity and yield of the resulting polymer increased with increasing monomer concentration. Although polymers with relatively high viscosity were obtained when the reaction with p-xylylene dichloride was carried out at 70°C in DMSO, the viscosity of the resulting polymers decreased with increasing reaction temperature when the reaction with m-xylylene dibromide was carried out in DMSO. KEY WORDS Polyester Synthesis/ Dicarboxylic Acids/ Alkyl Dihalides / DBU Method / Mild Reaction Condition / Although poly(ethylene terephthalate) is favorable method for the synthesis of polyes­ synthesized industrially by transesterification ters because the preparation and purification between dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene of the activated. dicarboxylic acids is un­ glycol at relatively high temperatures using necessary. certain catalysts, many polyesters are usually Some polyesters have also been prepared8 prepared by the polycondensation of dicarbox­ by reactions between alkali metal salts of ylic-acid chlorides with difunctional alcohols dicarboxylic-acids and aliphatic dibromides or phenols. These reactions are carried out using phase transfer catalysis (PTC)s, which is under relatively mild conditions; however, the a very convenient method for chemical activated dicarboxylic-acid chlorides must be modification, especially esterification9 or ether­ prepared and purified before the reaction.

    Transition Metal Hydrides That Mediate Catalytic Hydrogen Atom Transfers

    Transition Metal Hydrides that Mediate Catalytic Hydrogen Atom Transfers Deven P. Estes Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Deven P. Estes All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Transition Metal Hydrides that Mediate Catalytic Hydrogen Atom Transfers Deven P. Estes Radical cyclizations are important reactions in organic chemistry. However, they are seldom used industrially due to their reliance on neurotoxic trialkyltin hydride. Many substitutes for tin hydrides have been developed but none have provided a general solution to the problem. Transition metal hydrides with weak M–H bonds can generate carbon centered radicals by hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) to olefins. This metal to olefin hydrogen atom transfer (MOHAT) reaction has been postulated as the initial step in many hydrogenation and hydroformylation reactions. The Norton group has shown MOHAT can mediate radical cyclizations of α,ω dienes to form five and six membered rings. The reaction can be done catalytically if 1) the product metalloradical reacts with hydrogen gas to reform the hydride and 2) the hydride can perform MOHAT reactions. The Norton group has shown that both CpCr(CO)3H and Co(dmgBF2)2(H2O)2 can catalyze radical cyclizations. However, both have significant draw backs. In an effort to improve the catalytic efficiency of these reactions we have studied several potential catalyst candidates to test their viability as radical cyclization catalysts. I investigate the hydride CpFe(CO)2H (FpH). FpH has been shown to transfer hydrogen atoms to dienes and styrenes. I measured the Fe–H bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) to be 63 kcal/mol (much higher than previously thought) and showed that this hydride is not a good candidate for catalytic radical cyclizations.
  • Safe Handling of Sodium Azide (SAZ)

    Safe Handling of Sodium Azide (SAZ)

    Safe Handling of Sodium Azide (SAZ) 1,2 Sodium azide (SAZ, CAS# 26628-22-8) is a white crystalline solid [molecular formula of (NaN3)] used in organic synthesis and also as a well-known preservative at low concentrations in molecular biology reagents. Azide chemistry3,4 offers an effective means to synthesize a range of nitrogen-containing compounds with a wide variety of functional groups. But SAZ poses some significant risks. It is highly toxic and can react to form potentially explosive compounds. Azide reagents and intermediates react with some metals5, strong acids, and certain chlorinated solvents6 and this needs to be considered when using SAZ or when developing routes that involve azide-containing intermediates. Health Hazards & Physical Hazards of SAZ Hazard Statements Fatal if swallowed or in contact with skin. Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Health Hazards: SAZ is highly toxic when ingested orally or absorbed through the skin. Azides form strong complexes with hemoglobin, and consequently block oxygen transport in the blood. They are more harmful to the heart and the brain than to other organs, because the heart and the brain use a lot of oxygen. Symptoms of exposure include headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, rapid breathing and heart rate, and skin burns and blisters (direct skin contact) and in the case of serious overexposure, convulsions and death. It will also react with acids to form hydrazoic acid (HN3). Unlike sodium azide, which is a crystalline solid, hydrazoic acid is a low-boiling, volatile, liquid. Hydrazoic acid is also highly toxic and its volatility makes it more readily inhaled causing lung irritation and potentially bronchitis and lung edema.

Peripheral mononuclear cells from nine patients with ED of vascular origin and nine patients with ED of neurological origin were obtained. Fourteen age-matched volunteers with normal erectile function were used as control. Reduction in eNOS protein was observed in the mononuclear cells from patients with ED of vascular origin but not in those from neurological origin. Although sGC b1-subunit expression was increased in mononuclear cells from patients with ED, the sGC activity was reduced. However, only the patients with ED of vascular origin showed an increased expression of PDE-V. This work shows for the first time that, independently of the aetiology of ED, the expression of sGC b1-subunit was increased in circulating mononuclear cells; however, the expression of both eNOS and PDE-V was only modified in the circulating mononuclear cells from patients with ED of vascular origin.

Hafez, Harald Wack, Brandon Young, Dana Ferraris, and Thomas Lectka* Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, Johns Hopkins UniVersity, 3400 North Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21218 Received February 5, 2002 Abstract: We report practical methodology for the catalytic, asymmetric synthesis of â-lactams resulting from the development of a catalyzed reaction of ketenes (or their derived zwitterionic enolates) and imines. The products of these asymmetric reactions can serve as precursors to a number of enzyme inhibitors and drug candidates as well as valuable synthetic intermediates. We present a detailed study of the mechanism of the â-lactam forming reaction with proton sponge as the stoichiometric base, including kinetics and isotopic labeling studies. Stereochemical models based on molecular mechanics (MM) calculations are also presented to account for the observed stereoregular sense of induction in our reactions and to provide a guidepost for the design of other catalyst systems. Introduction this structural motif a worthwhile goal for the synthetic organic 10 The clinical relevance of â-lactams continues to expand at a chemist, thus the synthesis of these nonantibiotic â-lactams surprising rate. Although their use as antibiotics is being will be the focus of this contribution. While considerable effort compromised to some extent by bacterial resistance pressures,1 has been put into synthetic methodology to construct the basic recently â-lactams (especially nonnatural ones) have achieved â-lactam skeleton, there have been few general methods many important nonantibiotic uses.
