The enantioselective organocatalytic Michael addition reaction has gained increased attention as an asymmetric synthesis strategy for C-C bond formation. In this regard, (1R,2R)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine derived C1 symmetrical 2-aminoDMAP has been synthesized in our group. The remaining primary amine was modified with 1-isothiocyanato-(3,5)-bis(trifluoromethyl) benzene 3,5-Bis (trifluoromethyl) phenyl isothiocyanate and 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) phenyl isocyanate to afford bifunctional 2-aminoDMAP/thiourea and 2-aminoDMAP/urea organocatalysts. The efficieny of organocatalyst has been tested in Michael addition of diethyl malonate to trans-β-nitrostyrene by screening the parameters such as catalyst loading amount, concentration, solvent and temperature. The best condition was found as 5 mol% catalyst loading at room temperature in toluene and the target GABA precursor was synthesized for 4 h in 94% ee. With the optimized reaction condition in hand, the scope of enantioselective organocatalytic conjugate addition was examined further by varying trans-β-nitroolefins. Most of the conjugate addition products were obtained in high to excellent yields (65-95%) and selectivities (80-99% ee).

Enantioselective decarboxylative michael and aldol reactions with bifunctional squaramide organocatalysts
Bayer, Ezgi; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2018)
The decarboxylative Michael and aldol reactions are quite new in the asymmetric studies and are used for forming new C-C bonds by nucleophilic attack. In the first part of this thesis, decarboxylative Michael reaction of isatylidene malononitriles with ethyl benzoyl acetate was accomplished in the presence of chiral 2- aminoDMAP and quinine derived bifunctional acid/base organocatalysts, which are developed in our research group. In this part, 12 derivatives were synthesized with quinine based 1-adamantyl s...
Bifunctional 2-aminodmap/thiourea catalyzed enantioselective michael addition of thioacetic acid to trans-beta-nitrostyrenes
Kabasakal, Zehra; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2013)
Michael addition reactions as an efficient method for carbon-carbon bond formations have been intensively explored in the context of enantioselective organocatalysis using aldehydes, ketones, 1,3- dicarbonyl compounds and nitroalkenes as donors. However, there are very few studies using thiol derivative as a nucleophile. In this thesis, enantioselective Michael addition reaction of thioacetic acid as Michael donor and 10 trans-β-nitrostyrene derivatives as Michael acceptors have been studied. The products o...

Condensation reactions such as Guerbet and aldol are important since they allow for C-C bond formation and give higher molecular weight oxygenates. An initial study identified Pd-supported on hydrotalcite as an active catalyst for the, transformation, although this catalyst showed extensive undesirable decarbonylation. A catalyst containing Pd and Cu in a 3:1 ratio dramatically decreased decarbonylation, while preserving the high catalytic rates seen with Pd-based catalysts. A combination of XRD, EXAFS, TEM...
Asymmetric benzoin reaction catalyzed by benzoylformate decarboxylase
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Dunnwald, T; Iding, H; Pohl, M; Muller, M (1999-12-17)
Aromatic aldehydes are converted into benzoins by benzoylformate decarboxylase catalyzed C-C bond formation. The reaction affords (R)-benzoins with high enantiomeric excess and in good chemical yields. A broad range of aromatic aldehydes can be used as substrates in aqueous buffer or buffer/DMSO-solutions.
