Radical cyclization of alkenes is one of the most important methods for the synthesis of cyclic compounds. The one electron oxidant Mn(OAc)3 has been used for many years for the oxidative addition of acetic acid to alkenes to give lactones. In this thesis, various alkenes substituted at 1,2-positions by phenyl and thiophene rings were reacted with active methylene compounds in the presence of Mn(OAc)3∙2H2O. The regioselectivity of the addition were searched. The mechanism for the addition was studied in connection with the directing effect of the sulfur atom and substituents attached to the benzene ring. The regioselectivity was also discussed in terms of electron density distribution on the double bond.

Synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted thiophenes from ketoalkynes Vatansever, Erol Can; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2013) Synthesis of thiophene containing compounds are of particular interest in synthetic organic chemistry. Besides the importance for synthetic organic chemistry, thiophene derivatives are used in applied research such as drug synthesis and study of functional materials. In this thesis, a new methodology for developing of 2,3-disubstituted thiophenes was developed. This methodology utilizes readily available compounds in a two-step synthesis to provide a facile access to the 2,3-disubstituted thiophenes. In the...
Studies towards green oxidation of alcohols with visible light Akkaş, Kıvanç; Akdağ, Akın; Department of Chemistry (2014) Conversion of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds is one of the key reactions in organic chemistry. For this, numerous methods have been developed. However, most of these methods produce environmentally hazardous waste. With this in mind, an environmentally benign method was attempted to be developed. The idea was borrowed from Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC); electron relay mechanism in DSSC to be replaced with oxidation of alcohols. First, TiO2 as metal oxide and O2 as electron acceptor wer...
Silicon tetrachloride mediated asymmetric aldol addition reaction Tan, Duygu; Doğan, Özdemir; Department of Chemistry (2013) Aldol addition reaction is one of the most important and most studied carbon-carbon bond forming reactions in organic chemistry. Recent studies focused on the catalytic version of this chemistry. Different from the classical Mukaiyama-type aldol reactions, chiral lewis bases have been used as promoters. In the presence of SiCl4, these reactions proceed through a cyclic transition state leading to anti aldol product as a major product with moderate-to-good diastereo and enantioselectivities. Phosphoramide de...
Novel conversion of thiols into disulfides, via S-nitrosothiol intermediates using trichloronitromethane Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Igdir, AC; Mahasneh, AS (1999-10-15) An efficient oxidative coupling of thiols to give disulfides via thionitrite (S-nitrosothiol) intermediate is described using trichloronitromethane as an efficient reagent in organic solvents and water. Cysteine and glutathione are converted into the corresponding disulfides in water in high yields.
Generation of aryl radicals from arylboronic acids by manganese(III) acetate: Synthesis of biaryls and heterobiaryls Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Reis, O; Emrullahoglu, M (2003-01-24) The efficient generation of aryl radicals from arylboronic acids by manganese(III) acetate is described. In aromatic solvents, in situ generated aryl radicals afford the corresponding biaryls in very good yields. This method works selectively, and yields are better than those from similar, previously described methods. Arylboronic acids carrying sensitive functional groups also work efficiently.
