With existing energetic materials, the on going demand from the user for increased performance with reduced vulnerability induces the synthesis of novel explosives. The need to control costs ensured that theoretical methods can help to eliminate any poor candidates due to performance and safety problems. Thus, this study is aimed to design of some potential high explosive molecules which have high detonation properties and are also insensitive. Presently 65 molecules were studied and 54 of them were handled for the first time in the literature. The detonation properties have been evaluated within the limitations of the Kamlet-Jacobs equations, based on the quantum chemically calculated densities and heat of formation values. It is found that there might be some candidates of relatively insensitive and high energy density materials among these 54 studied molecules so far not mentioned in the literature.

Synthesis of 3-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane framework and a novel tricyclicaminoether Kaniskan, HU; Doğan, Özdemir (Informa UK Limited, 2003-01-01) The efficient synthesis of 3-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane derivative 1 and a novel tricyclicaminoether 11 has been achieved in seven steps using commercially available starting materials and commonly used reagents. The key steps are the intramolecular ring opening of epoxide 7 providing tricyclic aminoalcohol 3 and Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of ketone 8 providing the corresponding lactone 2. Both reactions proceeded regiospecifically.
Transition structures, energetics, and nucleus-independent chemical shifts for divinylcyclobutene-to-cyclooctatriene rearrangement: A DFT study Zora, Metin (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2004-02-06) The minimum energy reaction paths and nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) for the Cope rearrangement of cis-3,4-divinylcyclobutene, obtained by (U)B3LYP/6-31G* calculations, are reported. Three transition structures (endo-boatlike, chairlike, and exo-boatlike) have been located, giving rise to formation of cis,cis,cis-, cis,cis,trans-, and trans,cis, trans- 1, 3,5-cyclooctatrienes, respectively. The minimum energy path proceeds through an endo-boatlike, aromatic transition structure. The reaction pat...
A facile synthesis of (+/-)-mintlactone Tanyeli, Cihangir; Demir, AS (Informa UK Limited, 1997-01-01) (+/-)-Mintlactone has been synthesized by applying a novel effective synthetic sequence. 4-Methylcyclohexanone was subjected to acetoxylation with Pb(OAc)(4). Hydrolysis followed by reaction with 2-chloroprogionyl chloride,then treatment with triethyl phosphite and, finally, Horner-Emmons-type intramolecular cyclization afforded (+/-)-Mintlactone.
A new approach for the synthesis of spiro and gem-dimethyl-substituted 1,4-oxazepines from N-propargylic beta-enaminones Karadeniz, Eda; Kelgökmen, Yılmaz; Zora, Metin (Wiley, 2020-11-01) An efficient and general method for the synthesis of spiro-1,4-oxazepines and 3,3-dimethyl-1,4-oxazepines is reported. When treated with ZnI2 and AgSbF6 in refluxing DCE, cyclohexane-embedded N-propargylic beta-enaminones underwent 7-exo-dig cyclization to afford spiro-1,4-oxazepines, specifically 12-methylene-11-oxa-7-azaspiro[5.6]dodeca-7,9-dienes, in good to high yields. Accordingly, N-(1,1-dimethyl)propargylic beta-enaminones produced 3,3-dimethyl-1,4-oxazepines. Cyclization was found to be general for ...
Novel studies on the chemoenzymatic synthesis of polychlorinated bicyclic systems and the synthesis of C2 and C3 symmetric chiral ligands Türkmen, Yunus Emre; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2006) Optically active polychlorinated bicyclic systems are important starting materials for the synthesis of complex target molecules. In the first part of the study, the syntheses of several racemic and meso hexachloronorbornene derivatives were executed successfully, starting from hexachlorocyclopentadiene. The enantio-enriched acetoxymethyl derivative (-)-2 and the hemiester (-)-6 were synthesized in high e.e. values by using several hydrolase type enzymes. The absolute configuration of (-)-2 was determined b...
