Chemists have always been fascinated by the cumulated diene system of allenes with its extraordinary properties such as the axial chirality of the elongated tetrahedron and a higher reactivity than non-cumulated C-C double bonds. The equilibrium geometry for an allene is linear with orthogonal pairs of substituents. An allene incorporated into a carbocyclic ring of nine or more carbon atoms is relatively unstrained. However, if the ring size is decreased, the linear perpendicular allene will be twisted and bent until, at some point, the energy gained by pi bonding in the two double bonds will be insufficient to offset the increased strain. Furthermore, ring constraints will exert torsion toward a planar arrangement of ligands. Therefore, one of the fundemantal questions is the influence of ring size on the barrier to pi bond rotation. Herein we wish to unveil a review of our research related to desperately seeking for five membered ring allenes such as, cyclopenta-1,2-diene (1) and some of its derivatives, e.g. 2, and 3. Furthermore, we will address a simple, mild and efficient method for the reduction of 1,4-benzoquinones 4 to corresponding hydroquinones 5.

Development of new synthetic methodologies for the synthesis of unusual isocoumarin and indole derivatives:The chemistry of homophthalic acid Özcan, Sevil; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2007) Many heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur show wide range of physiological activities and their synthesis has always been attracted the interest of chemists. The aim of this research is to develop new synthetic methodologies leading to the synthesis of new derivatives of isocoumarines, indoles, isoquinolines, benzodiazepinones and quinazolines, which have been found to show important biological activities. Starting from homophthalic acid and bishomophthalic acid the corresponding ac...
Synthesis of heterocyclic amine substituted novel 1,4-Aminoalcohols and applications in various asymmetric transformations Keskin, Eda; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2007) Aminoalcohols are very important compounds used in various asymmetric transformations as chiral ligands or chiral auxiliaries. In this thesis, four novel heterocyclic amine substituted chiral 1,4-aminoalcohols were synthesized. In the synthetic strategy, amide esters were synthesized from (2S, 3R)-3-methoxycarbonylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylic acid by DCC coupling method. Subsequent reduction of these amide esters lead to target 1,4-aminoalcohols. The activities of these novel chiral 1,4-aminoalcoho...
Chemoenzymatic synthesis of chiral hydroxymethyl cycloalkenols Şenocak, Deniz; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2004) Chiral cyclic alkenols with hydroxymethyl functionality are important structural units in many biologically active natural compouds such as prostaglandins, sesquiterpene antiviral agents, pentenomycins, xanthocidin, sarkomycin, etc. 1,3-cycloalkanediones are converted into bicyclic polyoxo derivatives with formaldehyde and trioxane in the presence of Lewis acid. Selective oxidation of the bicyclic compounds by using manganese(III)acetate followed by enzyme-catalyzed kinetic resolution afforded chiral bicycl...
Development of novel asymmetric catalysts for various transformations and investigation of a rearrangement reaciıon Yazıcıoğlu, Emre Yusuf; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2010) A new class of pyridine and sulfur containing chiral compounds are synthesized. Camphor sulfonyl chloride is chosen as a valuable chiral starting compound. In our synthetic strategy, sulfonylchloride moiety is first reduced to corresponding thiol compound by using triphenylphosphine and then the resultant thiol will be converted to various alkyl, aryl substituted derivatives. The second part of our strategy includes the pyridine ring construction on the carbonyl side of camphor with the formation of β-hydro...
Synthesis of various camphor-based chiral pyridine derivatives Işık, Murat; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2005) Chiral aromatic nitrogen heterocycles are finding many applications in asymmetric organic synthesis, particularly as ligands in the preparation of chiral metal complexes. Since camphor-based chiral auxiliaries are known to be especially effective, a number of pyridines fused to the camphor skeleton have been reported. It is well known that nicotinic acid and its derivatives exhibiting qualitatively the biological activity of nicotinamide, which acts as an electron acceptor in many biological redox reactions...
