Nowadays, computational chemistry has become an important tool in life sciences especially in organic chemistry. Development of various computational techniques let us to understand the nature of the organic molecules, elucidate the reaction mechanisms and design new catalysts. Computational chemistry can also provide valuable molecular insights into the geometrical and electronic properties of molecules. This study presents a combined experimental and computational analysis of various reactions and transformations; such as intramolecular cyclization, hydroamination, bromination, propargyl-allene isomerization, epoxidation and asymmetric allylic arylation. In the first part of the study, density functional theory calculations were carried out to assess the mechanism of the formation of pyrrolotrizaepine and pyrrolotrizaepinone derivatives. In the second part, the reaction of N-propargyl carbaldeyde with different types of amines such as primary amines, alkyl amines and bulky amines were evaluated. In the next part, experimentally observed regioselectivities and stereoselectivities of bromination and epoxidation reactions were examined by means of theoretical calculations. After that, intramolecular cyclization reaction of O-propargylated pyrazole derivatives for the construction of benzopyrazoloxazepines and benzopyrazoloxasocines were studied with density functional theory calculations. In the final part of the study, enantioselectivity observed in the rhodium catalyzed asymmetric allylic arylation reaction was theoretically investigated.

Design and synthesis of near-ir emitting fluorescent chemosensors for transition metal ions Kütük, İlker; Akkaya, Engin Umut; Department of Chemistry (2008) Supramolecular chemistry is an emerging field of chemistry which has attracted much attention in recent years as a result of its broad applicability in many areas. Thus, the design of functional supramolecular systems is strongly in demand in this field. For this purpose, we have developed near-IR emitting ratiometric fluorescent chemosensors for transition metal ions. Judicious placement of dithiodioxaazamacrocycles on the BODIPY chromophore generates this chemosensor which is selective for Hg(II) ions and...
Development of new methods for the synthesis of pyrazoles, 4-iodopyrazoles, isoxazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles Kıvrak, Arif; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2011) Synthesis of five-membered heteroaromatic compounds such as pyrazoles, isoxazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles are important for pharmaceutical industry and material science due to their applications. Although there are many methods to prepare such compounds, new variants continue to appear since they exhibit a wide range of biological and medicinal activities. In this thesis, new methods were developed for the synthesis of 4-iodopyrazoles, pyrazoles, isoxazoles, 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and/or 1,2,4-oxadiazepines. In th...
Phenylethynyl-bodipy oligomers: bright dyes and fluorescent building blocks Çakmak, Yusuf; Akkaya, Engin Umut; Department of Chemistry (2008) Supramolecular chemistry is an emerging field of chemistry which has attracted much attention in recent years as a result of its broad applicability in many areas. Thus, the design of functional supramolecular systems is strongly in demand in this field. For this purpose, we have developed novel phenylethynyl-BODIPY oligomer series which have absorption and emission maxima at the red part of the visible region of electromagnetic spectrum. Careful design to assemble the decyl groups to the system allowed us ...
Ion sensing and molecular logic in supramolecular systems Coşkun, Ali; Akkaya, Engin Umut; Department of Chemistry (2007) Supramolecular chemistry is an emerging field of chemistry which has attracted much attention in recent years as a result of its broad applicability in many areas. Thus, the design of functional supramolecular systems is strongly in demand in this field. For this purpose, we have developed ratiometric fluorescent chemosensors for ion sensing and mechanically interlocked structures for their application in molecular logic. In the first part, we report a novel dimeric boradiazaindacene dye which can be conver...
Using the science writing heuristic approach to promote student understanding in chemical changes and mixtures Kıngır, Sevgi; Geban, Ömer; Günel, Murat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011) The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach on 9th grade students’ understanding of chemistry concepts and chemistry achievement in chemical changes and mixtures units. Four 9th grade classes taught by the two chemistry teachers from a public high school were selected for the study. Each teacher’s one intact class was assigned as the experimental group and the other class was assigned as the control group. Students in the experimental group were...
