Conduritols have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years owing to biological activities exhibited by them and also their usefulness in the synthesis of other natural products and pharmaceuticals. Conduritols show interesting inhibitor activity for some glycosidases and serve as important intermediates in the synthesis of inositols. In this study, novel synthetic strategies leading to highly functionalized cyclohexene derivative containing an aromatic ring, namely phenyl-substituted conduritol was achieved successfully for the first time. As the starting material, substituted benzoquinone derivative, biphenyl-2-ol was used. Bromination of one double bond followed by the reduction of the carbonyl groups served the desired skeleton. Further substitution of the bromine atoms and functionalization of the remaining double bond opened up an entry for the synthesis of substituted conduritol and inositol derivatives. Moreover, by the use of hydroquinone as a starting material we developed new synthetic methodologies for the synthesis of another conduritol derivative, bromo-substituted conduritol for the first time. Oxidation of hydroquinone to the corresponding quinone followed by the bromination of one double bond gave the desired product. After the reduction of the carbonyl groups and protection of the hydroxyl groups, the key compound for the synthesis of bromo-substituted conduritol was obtained. As a result, we enabled to synthesize new conduritol derivatives and we had considerable advance for the synthesis of other conduritol derivatives, inositols and quercitols.

The synthesis of hydroxymethyl containing cyclitol derivatives Kaya, Nihal; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2009) Cyclitols have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years because of diverse biological activities exhibited by them and also synthetic usefulness in the synthesis of other natural compounds or pharmaceuticals. The presence of hydroxymethyl groups in many cyclitols units building natural products is also attracting a remarkable attention. In this study, novel synthetic strategies leading to cyclitol derivatives including hydroxymethyl groups were investigated and the syntheses of bis-homoinositol d...
Addition of carbonyl compounds to the cyclic olefins : synthesis of cyclitols Altun, Yasemin; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2008) Cyclitols have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years owing to biological activities exhibited by them and also their usefulness in the synthesis of other natural products and pharmaceuticals. Carbasugars are also a derivative of cyclitols and they are cyclic monosaccharide analogues which posses CH2OH group in their structure. In this study, novel synthetic strategies leading to cyclitol derivatives were investigated and the synthesis of tetraol (72) and pentaol (73) derivatives containing CH2...
Synthesis of 5-ferrocenyl-4-((4-nitrophenyl)sulfenyl)-1H-pyrazoles by electrophilic cyclization Karahan Dağ, Fulya; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2011) Pyrazoles have been intensely studied in the design and synthesis of biologically active agents because they display considerable medicinal activities. Recent studies have shown that integration of a ferrocenyl unit with structural features of pyrazoles can result in the formation of the new products with enhanced or/and unexpected biological activity since several ferrocene derivatives have already been illustrated to be active against a number of tumors. Therefore, we have investigated the electrophilic c...
Reaction of propargyl aldehydes with hydrazinium salts: synthesis of ferrocenyl and Phenyl substituted pyrazoles Pınar, Ayşe Nur; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2008) Pyrazoles have been focus of a large number of investigations in the design and synthesis of novel biologically active agents that show remarkable medicinal activities. Although pyrazoles have been studied for over a century as an important class of heterocyclic compounds, they still continue to attract considerable attention due to the wide range of medicinal activities they possess. Recent studies have shown that combination of a ferrocenyl unit with structural features of pyrazoles can lead to products w...
Studies on the reaction of acyl phosphonates with aldehydes in the presence of proline Yalçınkaya, Hatice; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2009) Acyl phosphonates are interesting precursors for the synthesis of biologically active compounds. In the first part, the acyl phosphonates are synthesized starting from the corresponding acyl chloride. The acyl chlorides are converted into acyl phosphonates by using trialkylphosphites. The reaction of acyl phosphonates with aldehydes in the presence of proline furnished not the suggested aldol products via proline catalyzed aldol reaction but bicyclic products via one pot tricomponent 1,3-dipolar cycloadditi...
