Sibi Chair Prof. Gregory R. Cook Prof. Pinjing Zhao Prof. Dean C. Webster Approved: 11/30/2015 Prof. Gregory R. Cook Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Organocatalysis using small organic molecules to catalyze organic transformations, has emerged as a powerful synthetic tool that is complementary to metal-catalyzed transformations and remarkably promote stereoselective synthesis. Our group has designed useful templates, ligands, and additives that use fluxional groups to control and/or enhance stereoselectivity in a variety of asymmetric transformations. A key feature of this strategy is that the size of the fluxional substituent can be varied readily. As an extension of this strategy we became interested in developing efficient and broadly applicable and adjustable 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) organocatalysts. In our design, we surmised that a fluxional group would be effective in relaying stereochemical information from the fixed chiral center to the catalytic center of DMAP. Presented herein the synthesis of novel fluxionally chiral DMAP catalysts and their application in the acylative kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols and axially chiral biaryls, dynamic kinetic resolution of chiral biaryls with low rotation barriers and allylic substitution reactions.

  • The Interactions and Reactions of Atoms and Molecules on the Surfaces of Model Interstellar Dust Grains
    The Interactions and Reactions of Atoms and Molecules on the Surfaces of Model Interstellar Dust Grains A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Helen Jessica Kimber Department of Chemistry University College London 2016 -I, Helen Jessica Kimber, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed, i Abstract The elemental composition of the known universe comprises almost exclusively light atoms (~99.9% hydrogen and helium). However, to date, close to 200 different molecules have been detected in the interstellar medium (ISM) where their distribution is far from uniform. The vast majority of these molecules are contained within vast clouds of gas and dust referred to as interstellar clouds. Within these interstellar clouds, many of the molecules present are formed via gas-phase ion-neutral reactions. However, there are several molecules for which known gas-phase kinetics cannot account for observed gas-phase abundances. As a result, reactions occurring on the surface of interstellar dust grains are invoked to account for the observed abundances of some of these molecules. This thesis presents results of experimental investigations into the interaction and reactions of atoms and molecules on the surface of model interstellar dust grains. Chapters three and four present results for the reaction of (3P)O on molecular ices. Specifically, the reaction of (3P)O and propyne or acrylonitrile. After a one hour dosing period, temperature programmed desorption (TPD), coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS), are used to identify (3P)O addition products.

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.

I. The Addition of Acid Chlorides to DimethyIketene. II. The Cycloaddition of Ketenes to Carbonvl Compounds. Doctor of Philosophy (Chemistry), December, 1970, 63 pp., 3 tables, bibliography, 62 titles. Part I describes the addition of several acid chlorides to dimethylketene. The resulting 3-ketoacid chlorides were isolated and characterized. The reactivities of acid chlorides were found to parallel the parent acid pKa's. A reactivity order of ketenes toward acid chlorides was established. Dimethylketene is more reactive than ketene which is more reactive than diphenylketene. Attempts to effect the addition of an acid halide to a ketene produced by in situ dehydro- halogenation yielded a-halovinyl esters. The addition of acid chlorides to ketenes was concluded to be an ionic process dependent upon the nucleophilic character of the ketene oc- carbon and the polarity of the carbon-chlorine bond in the acid chloride. Part II describes the cycloaddition of several aldo- ketenes to chloral. The ketenes were generated in situ by dehydrohalogenation and dehalogenation of appropriately substituted acyl halides. Both cis- and trans-4-trichloro- Miyl-2-oxetanones are produced in the cycloadditions with the sterically hindered cis isomer predominating. Isomer distributions were determined by vpc or nmr analysis of the reaction solutions. Production of the ketenes by dehalo- genation resulted in enhanced reactivity of the carbonyl compounds.

According to literature evidences, extensive research has been carried out to develop the methodologies for the synthesis of stereoselective β-amino acids. In this review, we describe recent advances in synthetic routes of enantioselective β-amino acids derivatives with chemical reactions during the last decades and to provide the most suitable route of their synthesis to compete the future challenges.
