The major subject of this thesis is the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched gamma and delta lactones via Ring Closing Metathesis (RCM). Furan and thiophene substituted aldehydes were transformed to the corresponding heteroaryl substituted allylic and homoallylic alcohols by using vinyl and allylmagnesium bromide, respectively and then resultant racemic alcohols were resolved by hydrolase type enzymes (PSC-II, Lipozyme, CAL-B) with high enantiomeric excess values. Since the absolute configuration of alcohols were known, it was possible to determine the configuration of the synthesized compounds. After the enantiomeric enrichment of the alcohols, subsequent acylation with acryloyl and methacryloyl chloride afforded feasible diene system that was subjected to ring closing metathesis reaction 1st and 2nd generation Grubbs’ catalysts were used. These lactones were used to test their biological activities.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of enantiomerically enriched 2-oxobicyclo[m.1.0]alkan-3-yl acetate derivatives Atlı, Selin; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2005) a,β-Unsaturated cyclic ketones were selectively oxidized on a'- positions using Mn(OAc)3 and Pb(OAc)4, respectively. The resultant racemic a'-acetoxylated substrates were resolved into corresponding enantiomerically enriched a'-hydroxylated and a'-acetoxylated compounds via PLE hydrolysis. a'-Hydroxylated compounds are racemized quickly, so they were acetylated with acetyl chloride and pyridine in situ to give the corresponding a'-acetoxylated compounds. Resultant a'-acetoxy a,β-unsaturated cyclic ketones r...
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...
Structural analysis of polyaniline-polyprrole copolmers via pyrolysis mass spectrometry Tezal, Feride; Küçükyavuz, Zuhal; Department of Chemistry (2007) This thesis describes recent progress in electrochemical preparation of several conducting polymers. In particular, the synthesis and characterizations of pure polyaniline, pure polypyrrole, polyaniline/polypyrrole and polypyrrole/polyaniline copolymers and polyaniline-polypyrrole physical blends were studied. The focus has included firstly synthesis of these electrically conductive polymers. Secondly, thermal characteristics of electrochemically synthesized homopoly- mers, copolymers and their physical ble...
Self condensation reaction of alpha-ketophosphonates Göllü, Mehmet; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2007) This thesis presents synthesis of tertiary α-hydroxy phosphonate derivatives. α-Ketophosphonates is known that they are both acyl anion precursors and electrophiles. In this work, α-ketophosphonates were used as both acyl anion precursors and electrophiles in the presence of catalytic amount of KCN. α-Ketophosphonates underwent benzoin-type condensation reaction.
Synthesis and reactions of alpha-keto-beta-hydroxyphosphonates Barış, Şehriban; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2007) This thesis presents synthesis and different reactions of alpha-keto-beta-hydroxyphosphonates. Toward this aim, the hydroxyl functionality of alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acids were protected with alkyl or acyl groups and then formation of acid chloride followed by the reaction with trialkylphosphite furnished protected alpha-keto-beta-hydroxyphosponates. Nucleophilic addition reactions were applied to these compounds to obtain quaternary alcohols with phosphonate functionality. The addition reactions were tried...
