In this study, polymerization mechanisms of aromatic (C6H5 or C6F5) and alkyl (CH3, C2H5, C3H7, C6H13, C12H25 or C18H37) amine based naphthoxazine monomers (15-Na, 15Na-C1, 15Na-C2, 15Na-C3, 15Na-C6, 15Na-C12 and 15Na-C18) and thermal degradation mechanisms of polynaphthoxazines synthesized by curing the naphthoxazine monomers (P-15-Na, P-15NaF, P-15Na-C1, P-15Na-C2, P-15Na-C3, P-15Na-C6, P-15Na-C12 and P-15Na-C18) were studied by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. During the curing process, the evolutions of monomer and low mass aromatic or alkyl amines were detected below the curing temperature. The mass spectrometry findings indicated that the monomers were subjected to evaporation and degradation to a certain extent but also to polymerization during the curing process. It has been determined that the polymerization of aromatic amine based naphthoxazine monomer proceeded through the aniline units, either by coupling of the radicals produced by the ring opening of the side chains or by substitution to the benzene ring of aniline. However, even if no direct evidence to confirm polymerization by attack of –NCH2 groups to naphthalene ring was detected, it is not possible totally eliminate its existence. The evolution of aniline, the main thermal degradation product for this polymer was observed at relatively low temperatures indicating that thermal decomposition started by elimination of aromatic amine involving linkages. Coupling of –CH2 groups generated by loss of aniline, yielded naphthoxazines with unsaturated linkages that can recombine and form a crosslinked structure with higher thermal stability. Similarly, the polymerization of naphthoxazines based on alkyl amines followed opposing paths. The mass spectral data indicated that the coupling of alkyl amine radicals was the main polymerization pathway. Again, thermal decomposition of alkyl amine based naphthoxazines was started by loss of alkyl amines and diamines. The crosslinked structures produced by coupling of the radicals generated by lose of alkyl amines decomposed at relatively high temperatures.

Development of new synthetic methodologies for indole derivatives Kılıklı, Ahmet Alper; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2010) Synthesizing nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds is one of the leading research areas throughout the organic chemistry due to their significant activities on biological systems. Among the various biologically active molecules, indole derivatives are of prime importance on the grounds of their proven clinical roles. Objective of this study is to synthesize new indole derivatives those may contribute treatment of several diseases like their analogues via a recently developed synthetic methodology. Besi...
Preparation and characterization of carbon supported platinum nanocatalysts with different surfactants for C1 to C3 alcohol oxidations Ertan, Salih; Gökağaç Arslan, Gülsün; Department of Chemistry (2011) In this thesis, carbon supported platinum nanoparticles have been prepared by using PtCl4 as a starting material and 1-octanethiol, 1-decanethiol, 1-dodecanethiol and 1-hexadecanethiol as surfactants for methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol oxidation reactions. The structure, particle sizes and surface morphologies of the platinum were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD and TEM results indicate that all prepared catalysts have ...
Voltammetric methods of reboxetine analysis and the mechanism of its electrode reactions Altunöz Erdoğan, Deniz; Erk, Nevin; Kilic, Esma (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2013-05-01) Reboxetine (RBX) electrochemical redox behavior at hanging mercury drop (HMDE) and glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) was studied in various pH Britton-Robinson universal buffers using cyclic voltammetry and square-wave voltammetry. RBX was reduced at the HMDE and oxidized at the GCE with reversible adsorption controlled and irreversible diffusion controlled processes respectively. The anodic peak is due to the amine and the cathodic peak may correspond to oxygen protonation. An oxidation reaction mechanism is ...
One-pot synthesis of colloidally robust rhodium(0) nanoparticles and their catalytic activity in the dehydrogenation of ammonia-borane for chemical hydrogen storage Ayvali, Tugce; Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2011-01-01) Rhodium(0) nanoparticles stabilized by tert-butylammonium octanoate were prepared reproducibly from the reduction of rhodium(II) octanoate with tert-butylamine-borane in toluene at room temperature and characterized by ICP-OES, TEM, HRTEM, STEM, EDX, XRD, XPS, FTIR, UV-vis, B-11, C-13 and H-1 NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. These new rhodium(0) nanoparticles show unprecedented catalytic activity, lifetime and reusability as a heterogeneous catalyst in room temperature dehydrogenation of ammonia-bor...
Asymmetric synthesis of chiral camphor fused pyridine type novel organocatalysts Küçükdişli, Murat; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2009) Chiral pyridines as organocatalysts have been used in asymmetric organic synthesis in recent years. The asymmetric synthesis of camphor fused pyridine type novel organocatalysts were perfomed starting from cheap and easily available natural (+)-camphor. Using camphor fused pyridine skeleton, six organocatalysts 29, 32, 33, 38, 40, and 41were successfully synthesized. The first four nucleophilic and Lewis base catalysts 29, 32, and 33 are different P-oxides and P,N-dioxides which were tested in allylation of...
