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.

  • Solvent Effects on Structure and Reaction Mechanism: a Theoretical Study of [2 + 2] Polar Cycloaddition Between Ketene and Imine
    J. Phys. Chem. B 1998, 102, 7877-7881 7877 Solvent Effects on Structure and Reaction Mechanism: A Theoretical Study of [2 + 2] Polar Cycloaddition between Ketene and Imine Thanh N. Truong Henry Eyring Center for Theoretical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, UniVersity of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 ReceiVed: March 25, 1998; In Final Form: July 17, 1998 The effects of aqueous solvent on structures and mechanism of the [2 + 2] cycloaddition between ketene and imine were investigated by using correlated MP2 and MP4 levels of ab initio molecular orbital theory in conjunction with the dielectric continuum Generalized Conductor-like Screening Model (GCOSMO) for solvation. We found that reactions in the gas phase and in aqueous solution have very different topology on the free energy surfaces but have similar characteristic motion along the reaction coordinate. First, it involves formation of a planar trans-conformation zwitterionic complex, then a rotation of the two moieties to form the cycloaddition product. Aqueous solvent significantly stabilizes the zwitterionic complex, consequently changing the topology of the free energy surface from a gas-phase single barrier (one-step) process to a double barrier (two-step) one with a stable intermediate. Electrostatic solvent-solute interaction was found to be the dominant factor in lowering the activation energy by 4.5 kcal/mol. The present calculated results are consistent with previous experimental data. Introduction Lim and Jorgensen have also carried out free energy perturbation (FEP) theory simulations with accurate force field that includes + [2 2] cycloaddition reactions are useful synthetic routes to solute polarization effects and found even much larger solvent - formation of four-membered rings.

  • Accurate Enthalpies of Formation of Astromolecules: Energy, Stability and Abundance
    Accurate Enthalpies of Formation of Astromolecules: Energy, Stability and Abundance Emmanuel E. Etim and Elangannan Arunan* Inorganic and Physical Chemistry Department, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, India-560012 *email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Accurate enthalpies of formation are reported for known and potential astromolecules using high level ab initio quantum chemical calculations. A total of 130 molecules comprising of 31 isomeric groups and 24 cyanide/isocyanide pairs with atoms ranging from 3 to 12 have been considered. The results show an interesting, surprisingly not well explored, relationship between energy, stability and abundance (ESA) existing among these molecules. Among the isomeric species, isomers with lower enthalpies of formation are more easily observed in the interstellar medium compared to their counterparts with higher enthalpies of formation. Available data in literature confirm the high abundance of the most stable isomer over other isomers in the different groups considered. Potential for interstellar hydrogen bonding accounts for the few exceptions observed. Thus, in general, it suffices to say that the interstellar abundances of related species are directly proportional to their stabilities. The immediate consequences of this relationship in addressing some of the whys and wherefores among astromolecules and in predicting some possible candidates for future astronomical observations are discussed. Our comprehensive results on 130 molecules indicate that the available experimental enthalpy

  • Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution
    NUCLEOPHILIC AROMATIC SUBSTITUTION Ms. Prerana Sanas M.Pharm (Pharmceutical Chemistry) Asst.Professor, NCRD’s Sterling Institute of Pharmacy Nerul Navi Mumbai Nucleophilic aromatic substitution results in the substitution of a halogen X on a benzene ring by a nucleophile (:Nu– ). Aryl halides undergo a limited number of substitution reactions with strong nucleophiles. NAS occurs by two mechanisms i) Bimoleccular displacement (Addition –Elimination) ii) Benzyne Formation( Elimination –Addition) 7/5/2019 Ms.Prerana Sanas 2 Bimolecular displacement (Addition – Elimination) Aryl halides with strong electron-withdrawing groups (such as NO2) on the ortho or para positions react with nucleophiles to afford substitution products. For example, treatment of p-chloronitrobenzene with hydroxide (– OH) affords p-nitrophenol by replacement of Cl by OH. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution occurs with a variety of strong nucleophiles, including – OH, – OR, – NH2, – SR, and in some cases, neutral nucleophiles such as NH3 and RNH2 . 7/5/2019 Ms.Prerana Sanas 3 Mechanism…… The mechanism of these reactions has two steps: Step i) Addition of the nucleophile (:Nu– ) forms a resonance-stabilized carbanion with a new C – Nu bond—three resonance structures can be drawn. • Step [1] is rate-determining since the aromaticity of the benzene ring is lost. In Step ii) loss of the leaving group re-forms the aromatic ring. This step is fast because the aromaticity of the benzene ring is restored. 7/5/2019 Ms.Prerana Sanas 4 Factors affecting Bimolecular displacement Increasing the number of electron-withdrawing groups increases the reactivity of the aryl halide. Electron-withdrawing groups stabilize the intermediate carbanion, and by the Hammond postulate, lower the energy of the transition state that forms it.

Herbst2 1 Chemical Physics Program, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA e-mail: [email protected] 2 Departments of Physics, Chemistry and Astronomy, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA Received 9 July 2007 / Accepted 17 August 2007 ABSTRACT Aims. With the Green Bank telescope (GBT), seven neutral molecules have been newly detected or confirmed towards either the cold interstellar core TMC-1 or the hot core source Sgr B2(N) within the last 1–2 years. Towards TMC-1, the new molecules seen are cyanoallene (CH2CCHCN) and methyl triacetylene (CH3C6H) while methyl cyanoacetylene (CH3CCCN) and methyl cyanodiacety- lene (CH3C5N) were confirmed. Towards Sgr B2(N), the three newly detected molecules are cyclopropenone (c-C3H2O), ketenimine (CH2CNH), and acetamide (CH3CONH2); these are mainly seen in absorption and are primarily located in an envelope around the hot core. In this work, we report a detailed study of the gas-phase chemistry of all seven molecules. Methods. Starting with our updated gas-phase chemical reaction network osu.01.2007, we added formation and depletion reactions to treat the chemistry of each of the seven molecules. Some of these were already in our network but with incomplete chemistry, while most were not in the network at all prior to this work. We assumed the standard physical conditions for TMC-1 and assumed that these also hold for the envelope around Sgr B2(N).

  • 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.

Danger1, F. Duvernay1, P. Theulé1, F. Borget1, J.-C. Guillemin2, and T. Chiavassa1 1 Aix-Marseille Univ, CNRS, PIIM UMR 7345, 13397 Marseille, France e-mail: [email protected] 2 Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes, École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Rennes, CNRS, UMR 6226, Avenue du Général Leclerc, CS 50837, 35708 Rennes Cedex 7, France Received 8 June 2012 / Accepted 19 November 2012 ABSTRACT Context. The reactivity in astrophysical environments can be investigated in the laboratory through experimental simulations, which provide understanding of the formation of specific molecules detected in the solid phase or in the gas phase of these environments. In this context, the most complex molecules are generally suggested to form at the surface of interstellar grains and to be released into the gas phase through thermal or non-thermal desorption, where they can be detected through rotational spectroscopy. Here, we focus our experiments on the photochemistry of hydroxyacetonitrile (HOCH2CN), whose formation has been shown to compete with aminomethanol (NH2CH2OH), a glycine precursor, through the Strecker synthesis. Aims. We present the first experimental investigation of the ultraviolet (UV) photochemistry of hydroxyacetonitrile (HOCH2CN) as a pure solid or diluted in water ice. Methods. We used Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to characterize photoproducts of hydroxyacetonitrile (HOCH2CN) and to determine the different photodegradation pathways of this compound. To improve the photoproduct identifications, irradiations of hydroxyacetonitrile 14N and 15N isotopologues were performed, coupled with theoretical calculations.

Determine the rate law and rate constant for a reaction from a series of experiments given the measured rates for various concentrations of reactants. Use the integrated form of a rate law to determine the concentration of a reactant at a given time. Explain how the activation energy affects a rate and be able to use the Arrhenius Equation. Predict a rate law for a reaction having multistep mechanism given the individual steps in the mechanism. Explain how a catalyst works. C (diamond) → C (graphite) DG°rxn = -2.84 kJ spontaneous! C (graphite) + O2 (g) → CO2 (g) DG°rxn = -394.4 kJ spontaneous! 1 Chemical kinetics is the study of how fast chemical reactions occur. Factors that affect rates of reactions: 1) physical state of the reactants. 2) concentration of the reactants. 3) temperature of the reaction. 4) presence or absence of a catalyst. 1) Physical State of the Reactants • The more readily the reactants collide, the more rapidly they react. – Homogeneous reactions are often faster. – Heterogeneous reactions that involve solids are faster if the surface area is increased; i.e., a fine powder reacts faster than a pellet. 2) Concentration • Increasing reactant concentration generally increases reaction rate since there are more molecules/vol., more collisions occur.

    The Final Program The Final Program for this Symposium was modified from that presented in the Book of Abstracts mainly due to the unforeseen incidence of the coronavirus in late January, 2020. We are grateful to the distinguished scientists who were able to take the place of those who were unable to come, and we regretted the absence of the distinguished scientists who had planned until the last hours to be with us. The SCHEDULE that is posted on this web site is the Final Schedule. That which is in the Book of Abstracts is the schedule that was expected to be the final schedule two weeks prior to the event. Strongly Donating 1,2,3-Triazole-Derived Carbenes for Metal-Mediated Redox Catalysis Simone Bertini, Matteo Planchestainer, Francesca Paradisi, Martin Albrecht Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, University of Bern, CH-3012 Bern, Switzerland [email protected] Triazole-derived N-heterocyclic carbenes have become an attractive addition to the family of NHC ligands, in parts because their versatile and functional group-tolerant synthesis through click- chemistry,1 and in other parts because of their stronger donor properties to transition metals when compared to ubiquitous Arduengo-type carbenes.2. We have been particularly attracted recently by the high robustness of these ligands towards oxidative and reductive conditions, which provides appealing opportunities for challenging redox catalysis. We have exploited these properties for example for developing iridium complexes as highly active and molecular water oxidation catalysts.3 Here we will present our efforts to use triazole-derived carbenes to enable 1st row transition metals as catalytically competent entities.
