Investigations of the strength, symmetry and the covalent versus electrostatic character of three-center hydrogen bonds have vastly contributed to the understanding of chemical bonding, whereas the assessments of the analogous three-center halogen, chalcogen, tetrel and metallic s^-type long bonding are still lagging behind.

  • 1 Structure, Properties, and Preparation of Boronic Acid Derivatives Overview of Their Reactions and Applications Dennis G
    j1 1 Structure, Properties, and Preparation of Boronic Acid Derivatives Overview of Their Reactions and Applications Dennis G. Hall 1.1 Introduction and Historical Background Structurally, boronic acids are trivalent boron-containing organic compounds that possess one carbon-based substituent (i.e., a CÀB bond) and two hydroxyl groups to fill the remaining valences on the boron atom (Figure 1.1). With only six valence electrons and a consequent deficiency of two electrons, the sp2-hybridized boron atom possesses a vacant p-orbital. This low-energy orbital is orthogonal to the three substituents, which are oriented in a trigonal planar geometry. Unlike carbox- ylic acids, their carbon analogues, boronic acids, are not found in nature. These abiotic compounds are derived synthetically from primary sources of boron such as boric acid, which is made by the acidification of borax with carbon dioxide. Borate esters, one of the key precursors of boronic acid derivatives, are made by simple dehydration of boric acid with alcohols. The first preparation and isolation of a boronic acid was reported by Frankland in 1860 [1]. By treating diethylzinc with triethylborate, the highly air-sensitive triethylborane was obtained, and its slow oxidation in ambient air eventually provided ethylboronic acid. Boronic acids are the products of a twofold oxidation of boranes. Their stability to atmospheric oxidation is considerably superior to that of borinic acids, which result from the first oxidation of boranes. The product of a third oxidation of boranes, boric acid, is a very stable and relatively benign compound to humans (Section 1.2.2.3). Their unique properties and reactivity as mild organic Lewis acids, coupled with their stability and ease of handling, are what make boronic acids a particularly attractive class of synthetic intermediates.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Trehalose Polymers and Ruthenium-Catalyzed Polymerizations: Synthesis and Applications A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry by Jeong Hoon Ko 2018 © Copyright by Jeong Hoon Ko 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Trehalose Polymers and Ruthenium-Catalyzed Polymerizations: Synthesis and Applications by Jeong Hoon Ko Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Heather D. Maynard, Chair Since the definition of polymers as covalently linked macromolecules by Hermann Staudinger in 1920, polymers have become indispensable components of our society as industrial materials, consumer products, and medical devices only to name a few applications. This explosive growth of polymer use in the past century, referred to as “The Plastics Revolution”, was driven by research into polymerization techniques for various monomer types appropriate for the desired application. The past two decades have been marked by the development of controlled polymerization methods in addition to advances in new chemical reactions that are highly efficient. The combination of controlled polymerization techniques with methodologies in other fields of organic chemistry is expected to lead to a second plastics revolution, enabling polymers to further enhance our society by materials with new applications. The first five chapters of this dissertation are related to the use of controlled radical polymerization in combination with methods for protein-polymer conjugation, carbohydrate ii synthesis, and click chemistry to enhance the properties of protein drugs. Proteins have many desirable traits for therapeutic use, but their potential has yet to be fully realized due to their low physical stability and rapid clearance from the body by multiple elimination pathways.

  • Actual Symmetry of Symmetric Molecular Adducts in the Gas Phase, Solution and in the Solid State
    S S symmetry Review Actual Symmetry of Symmetric Molecular Adducts in the Gas Phase, Solution and in the Solid State Ilya G. Shenderovich Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Regensburg, Universitaetstrasse 31, 93053 Regensburg, Germany; [email protected] Abstract: This review discusses molecular adducts, whose composition allows a symmetric structure. Such adducts are popular model systems, as they are useful for analyzing the effect of structure on the property selected for study since they allow one to reduce the number of parameters. The main objectives of this discussion are to evaluate the influence of the surroundings on the symmetry of these adducts, steric hindrances within the adducts, competition between different noncovalent interactions responsible for stabilizing the adducts, and experimental methods that can be used to study the symmetry at different time scales. This review considers the following central binding units: hydrogen (proton), halogen (anion), metal (cation), water (hydrogen peroxide). Keywords: hydrogen bonding; noncovalent interactions; isotope effect; cooperativity; water; organ- ometallic complexes; NMR; DFT 1.

Candeias Keywords: imine condensation, organoboron compounds, N-B bond, boroxazol- idones, aryl aldehydes, base catalysis Imines are an important group of compounds for many chemical reactions in organic chemistry, mostly as electrophiles. In nature, imines are important for the transamina- tion reaction. N-B bonds are interesting because they can be thought of as an analogy to a C-C bond. However, unlike a C-C bond, the N-B bond is polarized. Imines and N-B bond-containing compounds both have similar potentials as pharmaceuticals. Both of these groups can have antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer effects. The N-B bond focused on in this thesis is formed when an amino acid reacts with a boron compound to form a hetero ring structure known as a boroxazolidone. In this master’s thesis, the imine condensation between aldehydes and boroxazolidones, and the N-B bond were studied.

Their systematic names are formed substitutively by the suffix mode using one of two types of suffix, one that includes the carbon atom, for example, ‘carbonitrile’ for –CN, and one that does not, for example, ‘-nitrile’ for –(C)N.
