This book was released on 2019 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation encompasses several projects pertaining to natural product total synthesis, reaction methodology development, and kinetic studies. The total synthesis of natural products continues to be a fruitful area of research in organic chemistry. The successful completion of a total synthesis endeavor not only affirms ambitious route designs, but can also allow access to significant amounts of biologically-active compounds. Given that natural product structures inspire the development of new agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, their syntheses are a worthwhile endeavor. Also, the development of new reaction methodologies and the understanding of fundamental reactivities of many intermediates remain important areas of research. Chapter One offers a current perspective on the field of natural product total synthesis. Alhough historically viewed as a highly competitive field, several recent examples show the growing spirit of collaboration in total synthesis. By forming alliances with chemists in other fields, industries, or laboratories, total synthesis chemists have made many breakthroughs that would arguably not be possible if working independently. Chapters Two and Three describe our laboratory's total syntheses of several bioactive akuammiline alkaloids, including strictamine, 2(S)-cathafoline, akuammiline, -akuammigine, and 10-demethoxynorvincorine. Our strategic approach to the natural products focused on the use of a modern variant of a classic reaction, the Fischer indolization reaction, to install several rings and the common quaternary center found in each target. This strategy allowed for the first total syntheses of akuammilines bearing the methanoquinolizidine core and those that also bear vicinal quaternary centers. In addition, rearrangements of the methanoquinolizidine core were developed that allowed us to access pyrrolidinoindoline-containing akuammilines. Chapter Four describes a series of kinetic studies used to determine the electrophilicity parameter of benzyne and related aryne intermediates. Arynes are a family of strained intermediates whose existence has been postulated for over 100 years. Recent advances have confirmed their existence and proven their synthetic utility. An advanced knowledge of their reactivity thus far has remained elusive. Our laboratory employed the diffusion clock method to measure the rates of reaction between several arynes and a variety of different nucleophilic reaction partners. The result allowed for the first quantification of the electrophilicity of these strained intermediates and should influence synthetic planning in the future. Chapter Five includes a study in the development of reaction methodology. Utilizing a variant of the Fischer Indolization reaction, our laboratory discovered a general method for making aza-indoline structures. This methodology was applied in the synthesis of derivatives of akuammiline alkaloids and Alzheimer's therapeutic molecules. In addition, a predictive computational model of reactivity was derived.

Download or read book Computational Chemistry written by Errol G. Lewars and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational chemistry has become extremely important in the last decade, being widely used in academic and industrial research. Yet there have been few books designed to teach the subject to nonspecialists. Computational Chemistry: Introduction to the Theory and Applications of Molecular and Quantum Mechanics is an invaluable tool for teaching and researchers alike. The book provides an overview of the field, explains the basic underlying theory at a meaningful level that is not beyond beginners, and it gives numerous comparisons of different methods with one another and with experiment. The following concepts are illustrated and their possibilities and limitations are given: - potential energy surfaces; - simple and extended Hückel methods; - ab initio, AM1 and related semiempirical methods; - density functional theory (DFT). Topics are placed in a historical context, adding interest to them and removing much of their apparently arbitrary aspect. The large number of references, to all significant topics mentioned, should make this book useful not only to undergraduates but also to graduate students and academic and industrial researchers.
Download or read book Bioactive Heterocyclic Compound Classes written by Clemens Lamberth and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chemistry of heterocycles is an important branch of organic chemistry. This is due to the fact that a large number of natural products, e. g. hormones, antibiotics, vitamins, etc. are composed of heterocyclic structures. Often, these compounds show beneficial properties and are therefore applied as pharmaceuticals to treat diseases or as insecticides, herbicides or fungicides in crop protection. This volume presents important pharmaceuticals. Each of the 20 chapters covers in a concise manner one class of heterocycles, clearly structuredas follows: * Structural formulas of most important examples (market products) * Short background of history or discovery * Typical syntheses of important examples * Mode of action * Characteristic biological activity * Structure-activity relationship * Additional chemistry information (e.g. further transformations, alternative syntheses, metabolic pathways, etc.) * References. A valuable one-stop reference source for researchers in academia and industry as well as for graduate students with career aspirations in the pharmaceutical chemistry.

Download or read book Reductions by the Alumino and Borohydrides in Organic Synthesis written by Jacqueline Seyden-Penne and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete guide to selection and use of the best reagents for a wide range of transformations This book is the updated and expanded Second Edition of Jacqueline Seyden-Penne's practical guide to selection of reducing reagents in organic synthesis. It is an indispensable working resource for organic synthetic chemists-the only reference focusing exclusively on aluminohydrides and borohydrides and their derivatives. Simple to use, it is organized according to specific reductions so that chemists can more easily match the best reagent to a given transformation. Throughout, Dr. Seyden-Penne emphasizes four crucial categories: compatibility, possibilities for partial reduction, the regio- and stereoselectivity of reductions that are altered or controlled by neighboring groups, and asymmetric reductions. Extremely well-referenced, Reductions by the Alumino- and Borohydrides in Organic Synthesis provides the most up-to-date, detailed coverage of: * Successful techniques for performing highly selective reductions * Chemo-, regio-, stereo-, and enantioselective reductions of both simple and complex compounds * Best methods for obtaining the main functional groups by hydridereduction, provided in quick-reference tabular form * New and more selective reagents developed within the last five years * Experimental conditions, including solvent and temperature, and yields for most cases described.
Download or read book Electron Transfer Reactions in Organic Chemistry written by Lennart Eberson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of the book is electron transfer reactions in organic chemistry, with the emphasis on mechanistic aspects. The theoretical framework is that of the Marcus theory, well-known from its extensive use in inorganic chemistry. The book deals with definitions of electron transfer, theory of electron transfer reactions (Marcus' and Pross-Shaik's approach) experimental diagnosis of electron transfer reactions, examples from inorganic/organic reactants and purely organic reactants, electro- and photochemical electron transfer, electron transfer catalyzed reactions, connections between electron transfer and polar mechanisms, and applications of electron transfer, such as electrosynthesis of organic chemicals, photochemical energy storage, conducting organic materials and chemiluminescence. The approach is new in so far as no comparable book has been published. The book will be of value to anyone interested in keeping track of developments in physical organic chemistry.
