This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic ·Stress and Strain· of this conference was ideally constrasted by the remoteness and quiet atmosphere of the meeting place Hotel Seehof In Ratzeburg, a small medieval town situated on a peninsula in lake "Kuchensee· east of Hamburg In northern Germany. With the participation of 53 leading experts from all over the world, the workshop covered the widest possible range from the advancement of bonding theory, new mechanistic insights into chemical transformations and physical properties of highly strained compounds to their use as building blocks In organic synthesis and even as probes Into the detection of enzyme mechanisms. Because of their specific reactivities small ring units can uniquely play their role in the construction of composite functionalities. Such functionalities can increase the elegance In natural and non-natural products syntheses, since they help to develop more convergent synthetic routes and Improve the necessary chemo-, regio-and stereo-selectivity. This book presents all of the 20 Invited lectures and is complemented with short versions of 12 contributed papers and 13 poster presentations. I am convinced that it will stimulate further rapid development of this field of organic chemistry, which recently has seen extensions into the bioorganic area as well as towards new materials. In fact, several ·supra-natural" -at first sight exotic -compounds are already available In useful quantities and are being exploited to create vastly new molecular devices, i. e. compounds with unprecedented molecular functions and polymers with unconventional properties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemistry and chemical engineering have changed significantly in the last decade. They have broadened their scopeâ€"into biology, nanotechnology, materials science, computation, and advanced methods of process systems engineering and controlâ€"so much that the programs in most chemistry and chemical engineering departments now barely resemble the classical notion of chemistry. Beyond the Molecular Frontier brings together research, discovery, and invention across the entire spectrum of the chemical sciencesâ€"from fundamental, molecular-level chemistry to large-scale chemical processing technology. This reflects the way the field has evolved, the synergy at universities between research and education in chemistry and chemical engineering, and the way chemists and chemical engineers work together in industry. The astonishing developments in science and engineering during the 20th century have made it possible to dream of new goals that might previously have been considered unthinkable. This book identifies the key opportunities and challenges for the chemical sciences, from basic research to societal needs and from terrorism defense to environmental protection, and it looks at the ways in which chemists and chemical engineers can work together to contribute to an improved future.

Other areas that are discussed are strained carbohydrates, stereocontrolled access to natural products and polymer systems as well as a much sought after contribution to the series on small-ring nitrogen heterocycles.
Download or read book Harnessing Strain Driven Reactivity for Complex Molecule Synthesis and Advances in Chemical Education written by Jason Chari and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation describes the development of synthetic methodologies and approaches that leverage strain-driven reactivity to access complex molecules, as well as enzymatic studies and advances in the field of chemical education. The high potential energy stored within strained bonds offers a powerful tool in organic synthesis for the construction of new covalent bonds. Controlling the reactivity of strained molecules, while challenging in many cases, offers a means to form multiple bonds in a single step, under mild reaction conditions, and generate products that may be inaccessible by other means. Herein, several synthetic endeavors are described that seek to leverage strain release to push our understanding of chemical reactivity and gain new entryways into important classes of organic and organometallic compounds. Moreover, two studies in the area of biosynthesis and are described, which take advantage of synergy between chemical synthesis and enzymatic chemistry to access bioactive compounds with high selectivity. Finally, studies in the area of chemical education are described. These efforts seek to make organic chemistry accessible to wider audiences through the development of interactive, globally available educational tools and the creation of a new undergraduate lecture course that highlights the role of organic chemistry in the world around us. Chapter one describes a perspective on the field of complex molecule synthesis (i.e., total synthesis), with a focus on the power of collaborations across research groups. Although historically competitive, there is a growing spirit of teamwork and collaboration in the field of total synthesis. This chapter discusses recent breakthroughs in both academic and industrial laboratories that have succeeded as a direct result of alliances between research groups. Chapter two describes progress toward the total synthesis of dodecahedrane, a complex and highly symmetrical hydrocarbon that bears twelve fused rings arranged in a cage-like architecture. Central to our approach is an ambitious [2+2+2+2+2] poly-ene cyclization cascade which would serve to provide new insights into chemical reactivity. Current efforts center around constructing key linkages found in the target by harnessing the strain release of norbornene ring systems to form new carbon-carbon bonds. Chapter three describes a concise and scalable synthetic approach to precursors to strained intermediates. Although historically avoided due to their high reactivity, strained cyclic alkynes and allenes have demonstrated value in the synthesis of medicinally privileged, polycyclic compounds. These efforts, which provide efficient access to silyl triflate precursors to cyclohexyne and 1,2-cyclohexadiene, serve to enable further studies involving strained alkynes and allenes. Chapters four and five describe the development of new methodologies that exploit strained aryne intermediates in the synthesis of complex organic and organometallic materials. Both chapters investigate the controlled generation and reactivity of aryne intermediates, as well as engagement of these intermediates in Pd-catalysis to build new ring systems. Chapter four specifically details the development of aryne chemistry "on-the-complex," wherein fleeting aryne intermediates are reacted with pre-coordinated metal-ligand complexes to form new carbon-carbon bonds. These studies, performed in the context of privileged, photoactive polypyridyl metal complexes, provide an effective strategy to annulate organometallic complexes and access complex metal-ligand scaffolds, while furthering the synthetic utility of strained intermediates in chemical synthesis. Chapter five details the development of Pd-catalyzed reactions of indole and carbazole-based arynes (i.e., hetarynes) to access [pi]-extended heterocyclic materials. The products obtained were applied as ligands in two-coordinate metal complexes to access new OLED emitters. Chapters six and seven are concerned with uncovering and investigating highly selective reactions catalyzed by fungal enzymes. In particular, chapter six describes the discovery of two groups of enzymes that catalyze distinct reactions, an Alder-ene reaction (previously unknown in biology) and a stereoselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction. Chapter seven presents studies pertaining to the aminoacylation and thiolation of polyketides in fungi, with a focus on elucidating mechanistic pathways. Both chapters showcase important synergy between chemical synthesis and enzymatic chemistry, and elucidate new enzymatic pathways that ultimately give rise to molecular complexity. Chapters eight and nine illustrate advances in chemical education. Chapter eight specifically details the development and execution of a new undergraduate course taught by graduate students. The course, entitled Catalysis in Modern Drug Discovery, served to highlight the central role of organic chemistry in drug discovery, while also conveying key concepts in catalysis. Moreover, the course spotlighted the various careers that organic chemists play in the development of new medicines. Chapter nine presents a perspective that highlights our recent efforts to develop interactive resources in chemical education for worldwide usage. In particular, these efforts seek to promote a spirit of innovation in chemical education and spur the development of widely accessible resources that improve learning outcomes and promote positive perception of chemistry in the broader community
Download or read book Synthetic Organic Photochemistry written by W.M. Horspool and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all major branches of organic chemistry, I think none has undergone such a rapid, even explosive, development during the past twenty-five years as organic photochemistry. Prior to about 1960, photochemistry was still widely regarded as a branch of physical chemistry which might perhaps have oc casional applications in the generation of free radicals. Strangely enough, this attitude to the subject had developed despite such early signs of promise as the photodimerization of anthracene first observed by Fritzsche in 1866, and some strikingly original pioneering work by Ciamician and Silber in the early years of this century. These latter workers first reported such varied photo reactions as the photoisomerization of carvenone to carvone camphor, the photodimerization of stilbene, and the photoisomerization of o-nitrobenzal dehyde to o-nitrosobenzoic acid; yet organic chemists continued for another fifty years or so to rely almost wholly on thermal rather than photochemical methods of activation in organic synthesis-truly a dark age. When my colleagues and I first began in the 1950s to study the synthetic possibilities of photoexcitation in the chemistry of benzene and its derivatives, virtually all the prior reports had indicated that benzene was stable to ultraviolet radiation. Yet I think it fair to say that more different types of photoreactions than thermal reactions of the benzene ring are now known. Comparable growth of knowledge has occurred in other branches of organic photochemistry, and photochemical techniques have in particular made possible or simplified the synthesis of numerous highly strained organic molecules.
Download or read book Evolution of Synthetic Pathways written by Tse-Lok Ho and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1996 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organic synthesis is essential to creating new materials. While synthetic design has reached a high level of sophistication, many details remain unplannable. To become proficient in organic synthesis, one must study case histories in the same way as a lawyer does. Attention must be paid to overcoming stumbling blocks as one prepares himself to meet future challenges of similar kinds. This book discusses many important syntheses, with emphasis on the need for detours and ways leading back to the main pathways. It thus focuses on one of the most important aspects of organic synthesis, which virtually none of the synoptic literature addresses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tremendous progress in biology over the last half century - from Watson and Crick's elucidation of the structure of DNA to today's astonishing, rapid progress in the field of synthetic biology - has positioned us for significant innovation in chemical production. New bio-based chemicals, improved public health through improved drugs and diagnostics, and biofuels that reduce our dependency on oil are all results of research and innovation in the biological sciences. In the past decade, we have witnessed major advances made possible by biotechnology in areas such as rapid, low-cost DNA sequencing, metabolic engineering, and high-throughput screening. The manufacturing of chemicals using biological synthesis and engineering could expand even faster. A proactive strategy - implemented through the development of a technical roadmap similar to those that enabled sustained growth in the semiconductor industry and our explorations of space - is needed if we are to realize the widespread benefits of accelerating the industrialization of biology. Industrialization of Biology presents such a roadmap to achieve key technical milestones for chemical manufacturing through biological routes. This report examines the technical, economic, and societal factors that limit the adoption of bioprocessing in the chemical industry today and which, if surmounted, would markedly accelerate the advanced manufacturing of chemicals via industrial biotechnology. Working at the interface of synthetic chemistry, metabolic engineering, molecular biology, and synthetic biology, Industrialization of Biology identifies key technical goals for next-generation chemical manufacturing, then identifies the gaps in knowledge, tools, techniques, and systems required to meet those goals, and targets and timelines for achieving them. This report also considers the skills necessary to accomplish the roadmap goals, and what training opportunities are required to produce the cadre of skilled scientists and engineers needed.
